NEW riiicKS ON COAL.
Government Fixes Limit lor Retail
Profit.
Washington. Sept. oO.?Government
control over the coal industry
was made complete tonight by an
order of Fuel Administrator Garfield
limiting the profits ot retail coal and
coke dealers throughout the country
to a basis which is expected to bring
about an immediate reduction in
price to the consumer.
The order effective tomorrow, directs
that the retailers shall fix their
prices so as to limit their gross margins
over cost to the average of such
orvncc margins during the vear 1915,
? . plus
a maximum of SO per cent of
the 1915 margin for the month of
July, this year, be exceeded.
Dealers Must Comply.
Local committees appointed by the
fuel administrators in each State will
see to it that the dealers comply with
the order and the dealers them-selves
will be called upon to return cost
sheets showing the facts upon which
they have based their prices.
Dr. Garfield selected 1915 as a normal
year because the coal shortage
which resulted in continued rises in
prices did not begin until 1916. The
\ y additional 30 per cent is allowed to
cover the increase in the retailer's
cost or doing Dusmess, w uitu u?a? mcreased
substantially during the past
two years.
Revision of Prices.
In other orders tonight the fuel administrator
made the first revisions of
his recently fixed prices of coal at the
mine. One makes a change on anthracite
pea coal in the Pennsylvania
field as follows:
White Ashe $3.40 instead of $4;
Red Ashe $3.50 instead of $4.10;
Lykens Valley $3.75 instead of $4.35.
Another order revises upward the
mine prices in certain bituminous districts
in which unusual conditions exist,
making the cost -of production
greater than in the principal bituminous
fields.
SOLDIERS PA1XT FACES.
But Italians Have Not in Mind the
Beautifying of Themselves.
The Italians holding down trenches
in the Alps have two enemies to deal
with?the Austrians and the snow.
Of the two the Italians prefer to encounter
the Austrians. As it is. they
have to face both and get along as
best they can. In order to do this
they supply themselves with gun
powder and rifles for the Austrians
and black grease and glasses for the
sun.
A photograph shows four members
of an Italian scouting party about to
partake of their midday meal. Their
faces and hands are besmeared with
black grease to protect them against
the burning rays of the sun, which
are doubly strong when reflected
from the snow. They prefer to use
vaseline, but that is too expensive.
The snow not only burns the faces of
troops, but it injures their eyes so
that sun glasses have to be worn.
tn snv thp hlank srpflse and I
the sun glasses make the Italians excellent
targets against a background
of white snow.
However, the Alpine Italian troops
do not always use grease and sun
glasses. When there is hot fighting to
be done in the Alps they don snowwhite
suits and even paint their rifles
white. In such uniform they are
practically invisible.?Popular Science
Monthly.
Pointed.
Chairman Herbert S. Houston, said
at the Associated Advertising Clubs'
convention in this city:
"A good advertisement should be
as sharp and pointed as the Irishman's
answer.
"The witty Judge Lord Morris was
on the Irish circuit, and on? evening
at dinner he tried to tell a story, but
an Irishman kept interrupting him.
Finally, in despair, Lord Morris
seized the interrupter by the sleeve.
" 'Surely,' he said, 'surely, man,
ye want to hear the story o' the rint
breaker o' Bally-Skibbereen.'
" 'No, no, me lord,' said the interrupter,
'that's the lie I tould ye meself
yesterday.' "?Philadelphia Ledger.
How Simple It Is!
An Oklahoma young man devoted
to material affairs of life, Senator
Robert L. Owen, of that state, relates,
separated himself from business to
attend a reception one evening, in
the course of which he was introduced
to a pretty girl, felt the sting
of admiration and set out to do his
best for a favorable impression.

girl reriied with a radiant smile.

That's What John Bunyon Johnson,
the Well-Known Automobile
Salesman, Says of Martin's
Liver Medicine
One of the latest to add his unqualified
endorsement to Martin's
Liver Medicine is John Bunyon
Johnson, of Macon, Ga. In a letter
dated August 25, 1917, he says:
"It affords me pleasure to report
that I have taken Martin's Liver
Medicine and obtained most desirable
results. Martin's Liver Medicine
is pleasant to the taste, does
not gripe nor inconvenience the
taker in any way.! It acts positively
and yet gently upon the liver and it
is my opinion that it is superior to
any liver medicine sold."
