Consumers Urged
To Buy Fuel For
Winter At Once
Taking notice of a nation-wid >
program of summer fuel buying
launched yesterday by the secre
tary of the interior with an ap
peal to government agencies, in
dustrial and residential consum
ers, defense transport administ
rator James K. Knudson, today,
issued a statement underscoring
the transportation aspects of that
program.
Administrator Knudson noted
that widespread suffering was
prevented last winter by near mir
acles in transportation and warned
that the mounting burden of de
fense and defense supporting
traffic will, by this fall and wint
er, make such heavy demands
upon the nation’s transport cap
acity as to create the unlikely
prospect that relief can promptly
be provided for spot areas in dis
tress. The normal peak movement
occurring in October and Novem
ber must this year, he said, be
spread over a longer period in
cluding the summer months. The
administrator continued:
“Defense plants are already
stepping up production and their
requirements for coal and other
fuels will grow steadily greater.
Transportation must be provided
this year for ten per cent more
coal than was produced in 1950
and freight cars suitable for haul
ing coal are in short supply and
will become more so. The situa
tion is, if anything, more acute
with respect to tank cars suited
to the transportation of fuel oil
and liquefied petroleum gases.
Cars of those types are experienc
ing an increasingly heavy demand
in high priority defense activities.
“The wise consumer will stock
up now. and 1 join with the secre

68 Years Old, Yet Now Climbs
155 Feet to Work on Scaffold
HADACOL Roliovo* tha Cam of Norroosnon and Waaknoss Whaa
Duo to a Lack of Vitaaias B<, Bz, Niacio aad Iron.
Seems like more and more folks
are finding out every day that they
have to keep themselves in tip-top
condition to really stay on the ball
as far as doing a good job is con
cerned. Mr. John
L. Napier, Route
1, Moselle, Mis
sissippi, certainly
found out that
aches and pains,
weakness and
nervousness
were interfering
with his work as
a bricklayer and
carpenter.
But Mr. Napier heard how HAD
ACOL was helping folks with such
conditions that may have been due
to deficiencies of Vitamins Bi, Ba,
Iron and Niacin.
Here are his own words: "Before
taking HADACOL, I was suffering
with aches and pains for awhile.
Then, came the time when I was
weak and nervous. I am a carpen
ter and bricklayer. I also run a
farm. I kept feeling bad and get
ting worse. Then I heard about
HADACOL and immediately began
taking it. After taking only one
bottle, when I retired at 9 P-M. I
would fall asleep immediately.
After the third bottle I went back
to work, carpentering and laying
bricks. Now, I climb as high as 155
feet and work all day on a scaffold.
1 have never felt so well in many
years. I am 68 years of age. And,
when there is no carpenter or brick
work to do, I work on my farm,
planting and harvesting my crops.
Thanks to HADACOL.”
There’s a clue that may help you,
if you are suffering from a lack of
Vitamins Bi, Bj, Niacin and Iron.
Why continue to suffer ... why ex
periment . . . why let your distress
drag you farther and farther down?
For it is these very Vitamins and
Minerals you may need that
HADACOL supplies in a quantity
greater than the minimum daily
requirements. And this marvelous
formula contains helpful quantities
of Phosphorus and Calcium, too.
HADACOL builds up the hemo
globin content of the Mood (when
Iron is needed) to send these ele
ments coursing, surging, through
out your body, to every body organ.
Already dissolved, in a special liq
uid form, the elements are absorbed
quickly and easily in your system.
