Baer, President of the Reading Railroad in stating that his company will refuse to ship coal to dealers who raise the price to the consumer on account of scarcitj is most icommendable. lue coal operators have not increased the price, as is too often the on account of the scarcity of tcoal or cars and there is no reason jobbers and dealers should take advantage of existing conditions to -fill their private coffers at the ex- of the consumer, thus increasing the already too-high cost of Irving. While the proposed action of the Heading Company may be condemned by jobbers and dealers, it Trill be hailed with delight by the great body of consumers of anthra- Ate coal. The act is in the interest humanity. It seems the only way to fcring to terms the dealers who would profit by taking advantage of should year.

Conditions are often the same as they are this year, that Congressmen are elected by the people on a specific issue, and the change from the first Monday in December to a spring date f6r the opening of regular sessions would certainly prove advantageous in that it would enable that body to discharge its specie! duty six or eight months earlier, thus giving the people of the the advantage of that amount of time under the changed conditions, in this instance the advantage of six months in reduced cost of living would certainly be advantageous.

Washington, Mrs. Sarah Brown of Turtle Creek, There is much discussion in the papers of the country as to whether 01 not President-elect Wilson will call an extra session ot Congress to -cai ry out campaign pledges and particularly to relieve the high cost of Jivmg by reducing the tan ft rate on articles--necessaries ot life--which ai admittedly too high Vfhat the new President may do regard to issuing the call when lie shall have been inducted into office on March 4 is, of course, but a' matter of conjecture; but we may rest Assured that he will make no move until he shall have given the matter careful consideration--weighed it in its every detail. any benefit to the plain people is to be derived from the action of Congress, it seems leasonable that the sooner that action is taken the better--the sooner will come relief from the high cost of living. Tt is within the province of the President to make the call broad enough to enable Congress to decide At the session upon a new time, an earlier date, for the regular meeting, which is fixed by the constitution on "the first Monday of December 1 unless they (the Congress) shall by law appoint a different day."

Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as t-hey cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies.

Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

Washington, D. November 13-With the "tumult and the shouting" over as the result of Tuesday's election, the carpenters and tie joiners will begin the construction of a cabinet for President-elect Woodrow Wilson and the names already suggested, give some indication of how the various elements in the Democratic party view their tremendous victory. William Jennings Bryan, the "Warwick" of the incoming administration, is most generally "touted" for Secretary of State although there are those who believe that the "Commoner" would rather be a free lance than attach himself to the person of the President in a ministerial capacity, believing that he could do the party greater good in the open than by holding down a cabinet position. Undoubtedly Bryan can have the choice of any position should he so desire. Louis Brandeis of Boston is among the favored ones suggested for Attorney General, although William F.

McCombs, Chairman of the National Democratic Committee, must be also reckoned with, as he has been a tower of strength for Wilson, and as he is a lawyer of repute might find the Department of Justice to hia liking. It is generally believed tkat Congressman Albert S. Burleson of Texas will be accorded a cabinet position' and possibly may accept the Interior portfolio, although It is known Ke has leanings toward the Secretaryship of- But Dr. Harvey S. Wiley, late chief chemist of the partment of Agriculture is seriously mentioned for the head of the Department with which he has been connected so many years.

Josephus Daniels of North Carolina, editor of the Raleigh News and Observer, who had charge of the Publicity end of the Wilson campaign, may possibly become the "headsman" of the new administration more generally known as the Postmaster General. Daniels is a "live w'ire" and undoubtedly would take rare pleasure in relieving the of their postoffiee jobs. Then too one hears the names of Rolla Wells of St. Louis, William G. McAdoo of New York, Walter Hudspeth of New Jersey and even Senator Robert M.

LaFollette for cabinet places and the "carpenters and joiners" have just begun the construction of President-elect Wilson's official family. The forth coming Convention of the National Rivers and Harbors Congress which will be held in Washington on December 4, 5 and 6, gives promise of bringing together a larger number of influential business and professional men than ever before participated in the deliberations of this great Congress, organized for the purpose of securing annual appropriations for the improvement of the rivers, harbors and canals of the country and to bring about a fixed policy of waterway betterments on the part of the general government. The White House during the next administration will undoubtedly be a scene of many charming social functions, President-elect Wilson having three most interesting and charming daughters, who while intellectually inclined are not adverse to society. What tremendous help many of the wives of statesmen have been to their liege lords. The influence Mrs.

Car- lihle had upon the public career of the Secretary of the Tieasury under the last Demociatic administration is well remembered But for encouragement Carlisle would probably not have run for Congress in the first instance; nor for Speaker. The Speak- ership led tc the Senate and the Senate to the Cabinet Edmond Pendleton, in a letter, tells how he and Patrick Henry, being on their way to the Continental Congress in 1774 passed a day and night at Mt. By his account Mrs. Martha Washington talked to them like a Spartan woman to her son on his going into battle. "I hope," she said, "you will all stand firm.
