NOTICE. |
To Chairmen Local Committees,
To Arkansas Consumers of Coal:
1. The fuel situation confronting;
the nation is serious. It is impera
tive that there be a co-operative dis
position on the part of steam-useis
to equip their boilers for the use of
such grades of coal as may be avail
able, if the domestic consumers and
the essential industries are not to
have a shortage of prepared sizes
during the trying days of the com
ing winter.
2. Loss of coal production in
'many of the western states, includ
ing Arkansas, is largely attributable
'to the fact that there is not now suf
ficient means for the utilization of
slack coal The early ordering cam
paign in this state has met with a
ready response on the part of con
sumers, and retail dealers report they
booked sufficient orders to keep them
busy 60 days, and those who have not
placed their orders should do so now.
3. Industrial plants and the con
sumers of prepared sizes are expected
do their full duty, and the steam
users are called upon to make pre
parations for the use of more slack,
or the whole system of production
and distriDution win ue uauiy sup
pled. V
I 4. It is urged upon the owners of
steam plants in Arkansas, as a pa
triotic duty, that they proceed to
equip their boilers with special
^grates and blowers to enable them
to burn and utilize approximately
one hundred and fifty thousand tons
of Anthracite slack that for the pres
ent, there is no market, and place
their orders to the extent of their
storage capacity.
5. This applies especially to An
thracite slack. The changes in fire
■box equipment can be made at a
comparatively small cost and it will,
in the end, prove to be more econom
ical, on account of the lower cost of
slack, and at the same time, will aid
in the production of Anthracite coal
that is so badly needed.
6. Get ready to burn mere slack
and keep the miners busy.
H. C. COUCH,
U. S. Fuel Administrator for Ark
ansas.
PARKER CONVINCED
BV HIS EXPERIENCE
"I Can Recommend Tanlac In the
Highest Terms,” Says Well
Known Alabama Dentist—
Declares He Is Well Man.
“I am firmly convinced from my
own experience with Tanlac, that it
I will do all people claim for it, as 1
am a well man now, after suffering
for twelve years until I took Tan
lr-c,” is tlie frank statement of Dr
S. J. Parker, a well known dentisi
of Roanoke, Alabama.
“I had a bad form of stomach trou
jle, which distressed me continually
or all these years,” he continued.
‘Terrible headaches would come on
me frequently as a result of a nause- j
would |
last for hours. These attacks would j
come as often as two and three times
a week. I lost weight rapidly and,
although I tried several of the most
approved remedies for thid trouble,
it resisted treatment and I continued ,
to go down hill.
‘‘I read about what Tanlac was do-!
ing everywhere, and though I was,
skeptical about proprietary medi- j
cines, I gave it a trial. I hadn’t fin- ;
ished the first bottle until I saw fav
orable results, and I have continued
to improve unt” my stomach is
completely set in order and the oth
er conditions arising from it have
been entirely relieved. I am a well
man now, and I can recommend Tan
lac in the highest terms.”
Tanlac is sold by all druggists in
Jackson county.
