Following the receipt of a letter
r0jn state Fuel Administrator A. W.

,ni need throughout the , state ? - or
making preparaions now for getting
8rewood next winter," the New Han
over tnel administration yesterday is
sued an appeal to the; general public
to besrin now, so far -as possible, ':-to
wnvide wood for use- later. Consid
erable wood has . been stored at th.
municipal woodyard in' Wilmington
ind this can be had at prices which it
is believed will be much more reason
vi- than will be the case next wlntoi-
Tha next 60 days is the best nerfod
of the year, says the state fuel admin-
istrator, ana no uenei: puouc service
can be rendered than to .urge, every
one to lay In a full supply. The United
States department or agriculture after
careful investigation has declared that
it is now impossible, to say with any
certainty now mucn coai wiu De a van
able nexi.
Anneal to Public.
The following statement was issued
vesterday by the New Hanover" fuel
administration: ..'
To the 1'ubllc: "-.
The indications are- that coal nexi
winter will be even more difficult to
obtain than it has been this, year. It
Is also possible that the government
may require fuel dealers to secure .cer
jjed statements from consumers ae to
this winter's consumption of 'coal aua
order them to cut out the suppxy". for
next winter to a certain percentage of
tie amount used his winter. This., of
course, will force a greater demand
for wood. Most of the wood cutting is
done during the time when" farming
operations are not active. At present
a large quantity of wood is being of
fered for sale and it can be bougnc
m& more reasonably than it will be
possible to buy It next winters The
municipal wood .yard has a large stock
of wooa on nana ana is aoout to cease
its purchases on account of- the falling
off or demana. .we wouia ure-e n wv n
are able to do so to "buy now-as large
quantity as they can and sroTe it
for next winter's use. Tf the txrnoi
which is now being cut by farmers Is
brought to market and sold it will re
sult in an additional supply being cut
before next winter and thus the :hAit..
aee may be relieved to some extent.
The municipal wood yard is. ready1 u
supply any one and at prices which are
reasoname.

Dr. R. C. Johnson, of ; Stringer. Misl
slssippl, in a letter some time ago said:
"I have used Acid Iron .Mineral in my
practice for number of. years and find
that it has no equal as . nervine, blood
purifier and liver medicine. .lnthe
treatment of indigestion and .dyspep
sia nothing.;can compete with it." '
Justva teaspoonful or'less of Xcld
Iron Mineral mixed with . a glass of
water after meals has relieved mn -
man and woman of severe stomach ;
troubles and pains, indigestion and the
various other symptoms of- stomach
disorders and after a short treatment
not only has their appetite been re
vived but uric acid seems to disappear
as if by magic, leaving people long
troubled, with rheumatism., strong
again and free of pain. !" r ..

prescribed Acid Iron Mineral to me"
writes E. C. Keen, D. D. S.,, of Henry,

my arm, it was so bad, but after tak
