COAL OPERATORS EXPRESS ALARM OVER SHORTAGE

Mines in Indiana Operating Only Two and Half Days a Week.Claim.

INDIANAPOLIS, July 22. Coal operators of Indiana are becoming alarmed at the possibilities of a coal shortage In the middle west this winter.

Several reasons are given by the operators why there Is certain to be a coal shortage, the chief one being that coal Is not being laid up now for winter use. Among some of the causes for a shortage are lack of cars, low j percentage of days in which mines I hare already operated this year, and 'the possibilities of accidents which I lay mines out of commission for days iat a time. Statistics show that mines of Injdlana are operating only about 43 per icent of the work-day time, approximately two and one-half days a week. Carl J. Fletcher of the Knox County Coal Operators' Association declared yesterday that last year the mines of his association worked on an average

of 211 days out of a total of 305 work

cays. On account of lack of market for coal this year, the same mines

operating from now until the end of

the year at capacity would be able to work only 180 days of the year. This time would not allow for lack of cars, nor for time out for accidents

to the mine, which would tie up operations. In one of the mines In Knox county, where a record once was hung up of 320,000 tons In one month, the

number of tons mined last month num bered 179,000. Purchase Only at Necessity

"There Is hardly any reason to as

sign why people are not buying coal.

declared Mr. Fletcher, "except that last year might have something to do

with It. Last year people did lay In their coal early. In this part of the country we had a mild winter, and the result is that some of the coal laid over, and now people are determined, from outward appearances, to purchrse only at necessity. "In addition to wishing to avert a coal famine, which, notwithstanding report to the contrary, is the last thing iho operators wlBh, we want to operate the mines four or five days a week if possible. Here is the proposition: At the present time we are working on an average of two and onehalf days a week. There Is a labor shortage, and mine operators are Just as anxious to keep their working force together as any other manufacturing concern. Unless we can find steadier work for our forces they naturally drift into other lines of work because Jobs are easy to find and other branches of work are offering more money for labor than formerly. "Some indication of the possibilities of a serious car shortage can be seen from the fact that last week our mines were laid off a total of 82 hours because of lack of cars. This Is the first time in history that this ha3 occurred so early in the year.- It is an indication of what may be expected as the season advances. We expect shortages to commence toward the latter part of August, but not in the flrbt part of July."

A. F. ROBERTS IS GLAD HE TOOK DOCTOR'S ADVICE Successful Cattle Dealer Gains 16 Pounds in 60 Days Taking Tanlac. "One of the best doctors In Colorado advised me to take Tanlac, and it has not only overcome my troubles hut I have gained sixten pounds since I began taking it sixty days ago," said A. F. Roberts who lives at Rocky Ford, Alberta. Canada, a few days ago. Mr. Roberts is one of the largest cattle dealers in his section of the country, and before moving to Canada a short timo ago, he had spent most of his life in Colorado, U. S. A. "I can now understand why Tanlac enjoys such wide popularity both In Canada and the United States," continued Mr. Roberts, "and since it has done me so much good, I know that it Is a very dependable medicine and deserves all the praise that is being given it. For the past two years I have Buffered from stomach trouble, and when I commenced taking this Tanlac, it was almost impossible for me to retain anaything I ate: I was very nervous and never got a good night's Eleep, and finally got so weak and rundown that I was hardly able to get about. I often had dizzy spells, and was bothered a great deal with constipation. "My physician certainly knew what he. was doing when he prescribed Tanlac for me, for it has done the work lor me, as I am as healthy and strong now as I ever was in my life. In fact it has done much more for me than I expected it would do. 1 have a fine appetite and everything I eat agrees with me perfectly, and I never have the slightest sign of stomach trouble of any kind. I am no longer bothered with constipation, and never have those dizzy spells any more. I have regained all my strength, too, and that nervousness has left me, and I sleep like a log every night. In fact, I am simply enjoying perfect health again, and I give Tanlac credit for it all." Tanlac Is sold in Richmond by Clem Thistlethwaite; in Greensfork by C. D. Sornine; in Cambridge City by Mr. Dean House; in Pershing by Sourbeer & Rodenberg; In Centerville by Centerville Pharmacy, and in Milton by W. L. Parkins. Adv.
