Teamsters, farmers, railroad .men and laborers suffer greatly from this distressing ailment. 'While there are plenty of remedies - recommended as 'a treatment for Piles, Dr. Chase's Ointment is the only actual and guaranteed cure. It {8 truly wonderful how the merit' of this preparation has become known throughout this continent and Hurope.

SOWARDS. i Would Put All Ordérs Through * Mayor's Office -- Kingston Has About Nine-Tenths of Its Normal Supply. 'John F. Sowards, one of the city's leading coal dealers, was interviewed on Friday afternoon and the result of the interview shows very clearly that Kingston is indeed forfunate in having éighty-nine per cenmt.: of its 'normal coal supply, whereas other places, one of them being Ottawa, had less than half its usual supply" % Mr. Sowards is now making an ef- tion in the winters to come between now and the end of the war or until conditions become normal. He advo- cates a Melearing office" which would receive all orders for coal from citi- zefis, In this idea he sees the solu- tion of many difficulties. It would prevent hoarding, which is the great est trouble of all. - ~~ Mr. Sowards suggests that the mayor, who has been appointed as the city fuel controller, be the head of the clearing office. Theoretically all of the coal in the city would be pooled. Every citizen 'asking for coal would have to book their order through this office. This would, therefore, prevent the present and too prevalent practice of citizens or- dering quantities from different deal- 'ers and receiving them all, because the Fuel Controller's orders make it -a pufjishable offense for a dealer to refuse toal as long as he has any. Then the citizen is able to hoard a large supply. The house owners 'who are acting properly in the matter are at a disadvantage and do not receive 'their just supply. The summer problem was also dis- cussed by Mr. Sowards. He again shows the advantage which would be derived from such a clearing of- fice for orders. householder laying in a huge. supply against the possibility of a shortage next year. Kingston during the past year re- ceived eighty-nine per cent, of its "normal spp The new yéar will present a problem which may not work" out so satisfactorily, It may during the day, when going about mean that-the majority of house- holders will have to follow the ex- 'ample of the military authorities and hard coal. Now is thé time to---pre- pare, in Mr. Soward's opinion, against Bridgetown, the shortage which is bound to come in the city's supply from "March next.
