4 COMMISSION TO CONTINUE COAL ORDERS Eschbach Says His Board Will Keep on Directing in Emergency Cases. HAS NOT READ ORDER Jesse Eschbach, head of the State coal and food commission, today de clared that the commission would con tinue directing that emergency coal or ders be filled by those operntoTs who have signified their intention of cooperat ing with the commission, but that the Vandalia Coal Company and ftte Vigo Coal Products Company, plaintiffs In the suit for an injunction against the com mission, would be exempted. Mr. Eschbach would not comment on the future of the commission, declaring he had not yet read the entire order of the Federal Court, which granted a tem porary Injunction, practically nullifying the authority of the special coal and food board. “I haven't read the order yet.” he said, “and do not desire to comment on what the future activities of the com mission will be. We will proceed as we have until after the hearing for a perma nent injunction Is held. PARTIES TO BVIT TO BE EXEMPTED. “The Vandalia Coal Company and the Vigo Coal Products Company, which were parties to the suit, will be ex empted from emergency orders.” Mr. Eschbach said that as far as he is Informed no special legislation Is be ing considered by the administration for submission to the General Assembly, it has been reported In several circles that the incoming officials might take steps to strengthen and amend the law so that the commission could operate effectively. Governor-elect Warren T. McCray, however, has let it be known that he will have nothing to say in regard to the matter in his message to the Legisla ture, and this is taken by Interested . parties as an Indication that the com mission is practically dead and will not , be revived. The question of refunding the fees charged operators and retailers under the law Is perplexing Statehouse officials if It ultimately develops that the measure Is Invalidated. A great deal of the money raised by assessment of fees has been spent in op erating the special board and In event It should be decided that the license , funds must be returned to the companies there is a question as to where the money would come from. It is understood Ele Stansbury, State Attorney General, has been asked for an unofficial opinion on the matter. Barnard R. Batty of the Ogle Coal Company has issued a statement charging that statements made by the Indiana Spe cial Coal and Food Commission were “nnfair” to the Vigo Coal Products Com pany. “The statement was made by the at torney for the coal commission," said Mr. Batty, “in the hearing of the in- • Junction suit of the Vigo Coal Prod- ! nets Company against the commission u> J Federal Court that the company had dis- ! criminated against Its contracts In In- ‘ dlana In favor of Its contracts outside ■ of the State. SHOWS COAL DISTRIBI TION. "The reports heretofore submitted to j the commission show that this state ment Is unfair to the coal products com- ! pany. The reports In the hands of the j commission show that the enrire output j of the coal products company la sold to the Ogle Coal Company of Indian- I spoils, a wholesaler, and that the Ogle Coal Company makes contracts with cus- ; tomers In and out .of the State of In diana covering the output of the mines of the Vigo Coal Products Company and > other companies.

New State Auditor Takes Office Dec. 1 The first of the new State officials elected Nov. 2 will take office Wednes- 1 day morning, when W. G. Oliver assume* the duties of auditor of State.

Had Suffered Over 50 Years! fy- - Now 83 Ycart^j^ClQ^^ Reveals Startling Facts Overlooked By Doctors and Scientists For Centuries “I atn eighty-three year* old and I doc tored, for rheumatism ever since 1 came out <>f the army over fifty years ago,” wurtea J. It. Ashelman. “Like many others. I spent money freely for so called ‘cures,’ and I have read about T rie Acid’ until I could almost taste It. I could not nights or walk without pain; my hand* were so sore and stiff I could not hold a pen. But now. ns if by uiuglc, I am again In active business and can walk with ense or write all day with comfort. Friends are aurprlsed at the change.’ HOW IT HAPPENED. Mr. Asheliuan Is only olio of thou sands who suffered for years, owing to I the general belief In the old, false theory ! thut “Uric Acid” causes rheumatism. . This erroneous belief Induced him and | legions of unfortunate men and women to take wrong treatments. You might Just as "well attempt to put out a tire with oil to try and get rid of your rheuinu ■tism, neuritis and like complaints, by taking treatments supposed to drive Uric Acid out of your blood and body. Many physicians and scientists now know that Uric Acid never did, never enn and never will cause rheumatism; that It Is a natural and necessary con stltuent of tlie blood; that It is found in every new-born babe; and that without It we could not live! These statements may seem strange to some folks, w'ho have all along been led to believe in the old “Uric Acid” humbug. It took Mr. Ashelr.iun fifty years to find out tills truth. He learned how to get rid of the true cause of his rheumatism, i other disorders, and recover Ills strength from "Tho Inner Mysteries," a remark able book now being distributed free by an authority who devoted over twenty years to the scientific study of this par ticular trouble. NOTE: If any reader of the The Dally Times wishes the book that reveals these facts regarding the true cause and cure of rheumutlsm, facts that were over looked by doctors and scientists for cen turies past, simply send a post card or letter to 11.
