NATURE'S MIRROR
When s
woman is
well and
healthy
there's a
sparkle in
her eyes, a
rose tint in
her cheeks,
and she has
rich red
blood.
There's
elasticity in
every move
ment and a
spring in hei
step. Love
' comes to every woman who has
bounding health but when she is
pallid, dull eyed, languid, she has
, bo magnetism nor does she appeal
to any man.
Such a change in feelings and
. looks!
After suffering pain, feeling ner
vous, dizzy, weak and dragged
. down by weaknesses of her sex
with eyes sunken, black circles and
, pale cheeks- such a woman is
quickly restored to health by the
; Favorite Prescription of Dr. Pierce.
Changed, too, in looks, for after
taking Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre
?' ' scription the skin becomes clear,
: the eyes brighter, the cheeks
i plump. It is purely vegetable,
contains no alcohol.
Druggists sell it in tablets or
liquid. Send Dr. Pierce, Buffalo
N.Y.i lQo for trial package.

Lancaster county, one to seven
years, for auto stealing, is in trouble
in Minnesota, where he decamped

state penitentiary April 16, 1917,
after serving one year of hit sen
tence,. . .
He was paroled to a Lincoln wall
paper firm and asked permission to
go to Omaha and get his wife. After
arriving in Omaha he wrote letter
to the secretary of the pardon board
saying that he had made up his mind
to lead a good life and in order to
get away where he was not known
so he could have no fear of recog
nition he was going where "he
didn't need references to make or
make reports to the board."
Word comes to the warden of the
penitentiary from the warden of the
Minnesota penitentiary at Stillwater
that Perry is in that institution. His
term there will expire November

bring him back.

GOAL DEALERS IN
OMAHA PREPARE
FOR BIG STRIKE
s
Decide to Observe General
Plan of Distribution Accord
ing to Necessities of the
Situation.
Omaha coal dealers are preparing
to observe a general plan of coal
distribution, according to the neces
sities of the situation is they may
be brought about by the national
coal strike.
The tentative program provides
that drivers will return reports on
the amount of coal on hand at places
where they make deliveries.
Consumers having more than 60
days' supply on hand will be re
quested not to place orders at this
time, but to wait until the situation
has been relieved.
Coal retailers met in executive
session, with Acting Mayor Ure yes
terday morning. Coal dealers said no
change in prices will be made.
Warn Against Overloading.
"Don't overload beyond . reason
able needs," will be the recommenda
tion which will be made to custo
mers. The coal committee of the Asso
ciated Retailers of Omaha yesterdiy
afternoon addressed copies of the
following information to every re
tail coal dealer of this city:
"Omaha coal dealers met with act
ing Mayor Ure to formulate a policy
for the conservation of coal now
available in Omaha, in view of the
probable curtailment of supply when
the prospective strike of bituminous
mine workers takes effect on No
vember 1.
"The following method was agreed
upon and will be given publicity by
the acting mayor:
"Retail prices on bituminous coal
will not be advanced.
"New orders for domestic coal
will be limited to a maximum quan
tity of two tons.
Dealers will accept orders for do
mestic or steam coal from regular
customers only, except as follows:
Will Rush Orders.
"If a customer finds his regular
dealer entirely out of coal, he should
be v given a certificate or letter to
that effect, which should be taken
up by any other dealer who may be
able to accept his order. Orders
from new customers should not be
accepted unless accompanied by
such certificate or letter.
"Unfilled orders now on hand
should be delivered as soon as pos
sible. "New orders for domestic coal
should not be accepted at this time
from customers who have reason
ble supplies in their bins.
"Teamsters should be requested
to report to dealers where new de
liveries have been added to previous
substantial supply.
"The reasons for this procedure
are clearly apparent to every retail
coal dealer in Omaha. Your co
operation it earnestly requested to
safeguard the health and comfort of
Omaha citizens.
"This message is distributed by
the associated retailers at the re
quest of Mr. Ure and of the dealers
who met with him."
Stop Taking Orders.
Definite figures on Omaha's coal
supply could not be given even by
the coal men themselves. It is esti
mated that the packing houses have
a supply for two months and that
the gas company has a supply
which will last more than one
month.
Two retail coa ' dealers have
stopped taking orders, because
those on hand will require at least
two weeks to fill, they say.
"The coal dealers are co-operating
splendidly," said Acting Mayor
Ure. "It is agreed that the oper
ators, wholesalers and retailers will
not make any advance in coal prices
on account of the situation."
Wind Up Sugar Control.
Washington, Oct 30. The United
States sugar equalization board tele
graphed Senator McNary, republi
can, Oregon, in charge of the senate
sugar investigation, that it was pre
paring to "wind up its activities," in
view of inability to obtain sufficient
sugar from Cuba to warrant further
government control.
