MINNEAPOLIS.- With the cold
wave signal Hying, the coal shortage
fin the northwest becomes not only a
cause of severe Buffering, but an abso
lute menace to human life. This is
the second chapter in the history of
the railroad:!' failure to handle tho
1S00 tratlic in tho territory tributary
to Minneapolis.
Glenburn, N. D., seriously consid
er ing an appeal to the governors of
North Dakota and Minnesota to em
ploy state military force, in moving
coal trains. Farmers are burning
thoir outbuildings for fuel. Glen
burn has invited 'people from its
territory who will be without fuel
to como and camp in tho village
school. Evoleth, Minn., faces dark
ness and suffering through depriva
tion of coal and apprehensive reports
have come from numerous other
places.
That the fuel shortage is already
acute in some places is evidenced by
these unsolicited telegrams received
by the Journal :
Many May Freeze to Dentil.
CAN DO, N. D. The fuel situation
here is desperate. Dealers are en
tirely out and the mill and electric
ligh'tworks have been shut dcw.i.
Several families are cnirely without
fuel. But one freight train has
ontercd Cando this week and no fuel
was on that. It is neocssnry to take
immediate action to relieve this
section of the state. (Signed.)
'II. M. II A G A R FI A H SON.
"Acting Mayor."
The Glenburn, N. D., situation is
desperate. Following a telegram
appealing for a special train bearing
soal, the Glenburn commercial club
sends this statement of conditions
suggesting a startling move for relief.
"Glenburn. The dealers wire us
that the situation is entirely up to
tho railroads as shippers aro unable to
obtain cars to load with coal. Our
local dealers have coal ordered over
two months, which is not even
shipped yet. We will wire Gov
ernor Sarlcs requesting him to take
up the matter with Governor Johnson
and if necessary call out the militia
of the two states to run coal trains.
"The situation all through this
section is desperate, and with the
liability of blizzards any time many
will I.freozo to death if fuel is not
available soon. Farmers are already
coming to town with stories of burn
ing sheds and other outhouses. Wo
have notified the farmers that if the
worst comes they can bring their
families and bedding and camp in
our new four room brick school
house. We havo 'sulliciont coal to
heat the building for three months,
at least, and it will go farther In
this way than it would were we to
distribute it among those who aro
out, as it would not make a bushel
each.
"We will also wire olir senators at.
Washington asking their interest
with the federal government. We
cannot put our words' strong enough
to convey to you the importance of
getting railroads to haul special
trains of coal into the section suffer
ing. Lignite is not avnilablo, as tho
same handicap is met tnore. We
tolephonod tho Burlington mines and
asked it they could not let us havo
live oars if we sent men there to load
them. They replied they wore sixty
cars or more back in orders and
could not obtain cars to load.
Farmers cannot go t'o the mines and
haul more than 1,000 to 1,500 pounds,
as roads are almost impassable.
"We rely upon tho cooperation" of
the people of Minneapolis as ship
ments originate there and we cannot
dictate to the roads from here.

"1 wish to luform you that the Cuti
cura Remedies havo put a stop to
twelve years of misery I passed
with my son. As au Infant I
noticed on his body a red upot,
and treated same with different
remedies for about five yearn, but
when the spot began to gf.t larger I
put him under the care of doctors. Un
der their treatment the dlscuso spread
to four different pnrtn of his body. Tho
longer tho doctors treated him the
worse it grew. During tho day It
would get rough and form like scales.
At night it would be cracked, Inflamed,
and badly swollen, with terrible burn
ing and Itching. When I think of his.
Buffering, it nearly breaks my heart.
His screams could bo heard down
stairs. The suffering of my son mado
me full of miser'. I had no ambition
lo work, to oat, nor could I sleep. One
doctor told me that my son's eczema
was incurable, and gave It up for a
bad job. One evening I saw an arti
cle in the paper about the wonderful
Cuticura and decided to give it a trial.
I toll you that Cuticura Ointment Is
worth Its weight in Sold; and when I
had used the first box of Ointment
there was a great improvement, and
by the time 1 had used the second set
of Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and Ro
solront, my child was curod. Ho is
now twelve years old, and his skin
is as tine and smooth us silk. Michael

What JoyThey Bring! ,
To Every Home ;
as vith joyous hearts and smiling-faces they romp and play when in healthand
how conducive to health the games in which they indulge, the outdoor life they
enjoy, the cleanly, regular habits they should be taught to form and the wholesome
diet 'of which they should partake. How tenderly their health should be preserved,
not by constant medication, but by careful avoidance of every medicine of an injuri
ous or objectionable nature, and if at anytime a remedial agent is required, to assist
nature, only those of known excellence should be used; remedies which are pure
and vholesome and truly beneficial in effect, like the pleasant laxative remedy,
Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. Syrup of Figs has
come into general favor in many millions of well informed families, whose estimate
of its quality and excellence is based upon personal knowledge and use.
Syrup of Figs has also met with the approval of physicians' generally, because
they know it is wholesome, simple and gentle in its action. We inform all reputa
ble physicians as to the medicinal principles of Syrup qf Figs, obtained, by an
original method, from certain "plants knewn to them to act most beneficially and
presented in an agreeable syrup in which the vholesome Califorrlian blue figs -are
used, to promote the pleasant taste; therefore it is not a secret remedy and, hence
we are free to refer to all well informed physicians, who do not approve of patent"
medicines and never favor indiscriminate self-medication.
Please to remember and teach your children also that the genuine Syrup of Figs
alvays has the full name of the Company- California Fig Syrup Co. plainly
printed on the front of ev-ery package and that it is for sale in bottles of one size
only. If any dealer offers any other than the regular Fifty cent size, or having
printed thereon, the name of any other company, do not accept it. If you fail to get
the genuine you will not get its beneficial effects. Every family should always have
a bottle on hand, as it is equally beneficial for the parents and the children,
whenever a laxative remedy is required,
