The association calls upon the war Industries board, "or whoever is running the war." to readjust railroad tiaffio so that coal can be Jnined, trans ported, and stored for future use.

"Another coal shortage, more serious than that of last winter, and almost certain interference wnh the war program, are inevitable throughout the east," says the association, "unless there is a readjustment soon of traffic over eastern railroads. Tho enormous demands of other war industries are crowding coal off the rails, and the resultant continued shortage of cars at the mines has cut production to the danger point. "This is the season of the year when the mines should be working at top speed to produce stock for storage against the needs of next fall and winter. The mines, however, are not working at top speed, nor at a rate even approaching top Bpeed. Lack of Cars. "The mines have been so hindered by insufficient car supply that they have made little if any headway over last year's record a record which fell 50,000,000 tons Bhort of meeting the nation's demands. ' "It is understood that the railroads

nr hauling far more traffic as a!

whole than they ever hauled before. It is evident, therefore, that freight of other classes than coal is responsible for all or practically all of this increase. It would seem that the time has come for the war industries board or whoever is running the war, to decide upon a readjustment of traffic over the eastern railroads so that coal may be handled in sufficient, tonnage to take care of the industrial and domestic requirements of the eastern states."

BY HAL POD. Strickland Gillilan has just written us a letter from Finnigin farm at Roland Park, ted., signifying bis intention of moving baek to Wayne eounty early in May, in order that be might be able to cast his Vote at the primaries for his - life-long pal, Henry Chessman, who is a candidate for the office of Wayne township trustee. "He is all wool and a yard and a quarter In width," writes Btrick, "and I'd go further than from Maryland to In

diana to cast my vote for Henry,"

Incidentally Btrick remarks, that he

has been reading The Towne Gossip and enjoys it "I congratulate you,"

he writes, "on not trying to force out

a batch of so many inches each day. It can't be did." When we read in one of those pamphlets Issued by the Department of Agriculture that "Gravy goes well with potatoes," we are led to the belief that the taxpayers, who put up the necessary wherewithall for the printing of the said pamphlets, are getting stung. Might as well say 'Columbus discovered America," or perhaps that "There is a war in Europe," which would be Information Just as enlightening. Let's see, we had our first taste of potatoes and gravy back in about 1894 and we've known ever since that the two went pretty well together. And we presume that all who read the Department of Agriculture pamphlets are cognizant of the same fact Somebody at Washington who compiles such up-to-date knowledge is pulling down some pretty soft cash, it would seem.

there is to that song, "Keep the Home Fires Burning." i;. Pretty, soon cometh the time when we postpone painting the house until next fall. . The good book says the Lord will provide, but we notice we have got to pay our board bill regular every week or go hungry.

' There has been a case hanging lire in a local court for a long time that has been continued and re-continued by the lawers on various occasions. As it concerns a shipment of eggs it might be well to have it over with or the court attaches may have to wear gas masks when it Anally does come up for a hearing.

"This rain is worth a dollar a drop to the farmer," says the Kokomo Tribune. In which case a few farmers hereabouts are soon liable to back John D. off the boards if we have much more of the said rain. "We are glad to see that summer is

coming," is another remark which the

Kokomo Tribune makes. Some one

who signs their initials H. M. L. is the author of the said remark. Whoever this brother H. M. L. may be he must have better eyes than our own. Right at this time we begin to realize what a vast amount of real merit

Enjoys a Big ' Breakfast Now

This Woman Thanks Tanlac For Putting Her Stomach Back in Shape. . Mrs. Fred Isham. 932 North Illinois street, Indianapolis, Ind., thanks Tanlac, the famous tonic, for building her up and improving her health after she was all run down. "I've even got an appetite for breakfast now since I've been taking Tanlac," Mrs. Isham said. "I was all run down before I took Tanlac. I was so weak that if I walked very far my knees actually would begin to shake. "I was pretty nervous too; and I didn't sleep very good at night. If I did sleep, it didn't seem to do me any good because I'd feel tired out and weak Just the same. "My stomach was in bad condition.

My appetite was very poor and I didn't seem to get any good from the little food I did eat. "Somebody told me that Tanlac was what I needed, and so finally I started taking it "Tanlac surely did fix up my stomach. I've got a fine appetite now and I'm even hungry for breakfast. I can

eat anything I want, too, because noth

ing hurts my stomach now. My nerves are better now also and I sleep fine at night and get a good rest. I am gaining in strength." Take Tanlac and get your system

back in shape. To feel good is the best thing on earth! You can get Tanlac at any Thistlethwaite drug store. "

Try Tanlac Rheumatism Treatment
