Administrator Garfield Announces Necessity of Continuing Heatless Monday Order In Force for Some Time. WASHINGTON. Feb. . Danger o widespread suffering from lack of coal still is imminent. Fuel Administration officials declared tonight in announc ing tha continuance or the Monday closing order. State Fuel Administrators have re ported that thousands of homes in New York and other cities of the East and Middle West have no coal, and cannot get It in sufficient quantities to make living conditions bearable. Thla situation,- coupled with today's Railroad Administration reports that freight and coal movement was almost at a standstill both yesterday and to day In the East, prompted Fuel Admin Intrator Garfield to announce that "the possibility of human suffering is too imminent to permit any relaxation in the present efforts to conserve and in crease the existing supply or coai. Dr. Garfield expressed the hope, how ever, that after next week railroad freight embargoes and preferential coal delivery orders may be used as substi tutes for heatless Mondays to effect coal saving. ' The Fuel Administration is consider Ing issuing a request that all Indus tries and business houses suspend op erations next Tuesday, Lincoln's birth day. Officials are now convinced that the industrial suspension has been effica cious In actually saving fuel in quan tities and that the consumption at other times has not been increased by the temporary shutdown. For the railroads, weather conditions today were a little better, but still freight traffic was less than half normal. WIFE BELIEVED LIVING . A. GRAHAM. OF DALLAS.

Graham, of Dallas, father of Erma Louise Graham, aged 4 years. who was killed Tuesday night when the Oregon Hotel bus turned over at Sixth and Everett streets, stated yes terday that he was firmly convinced the mother of the child, his wife, who disappeared simultaneously with E. R. Viers, a young farm manager, last September, was not drowned, as was for a time supposed, but made her escape with Viers, and Is now living. He has been making every effort, with the aid of a private detective agency, to locate his wife and Viers since, the time of their disappearance. Information has been placed in the hands of Mr. Graham that a man' aad woman closely resembling Viers and Mrs. Graham were seen at Brighton Beach about September 10, after the supposed drowning, and conversed there with Douglas Aitken, ' now in Prescott, Aria., who, at the time, was Government inspector on the jetty at Brighton Beach. Mr. Aitken has sup plied details of the interview, includ ing a habit of the woman's of pulling down her hat aa she talked. This man nerism, says Mr. Graham, was almost second nature with his wife. The woman also told Mr. Aitken, in re sponse to inquiries, that they were 'just wandering around," and that it was the first time "her husband" had ever' seen the ocean. Mr. Graham has tried through adver tisements to locate the couple whp held this conversation with, Mr. Aitken, and ANNEXATION IS SUGGESTED Aberdeen and Cosmopolis May Unite Special Election Asked.

What a glorious condition to attain, and yet how very easy it is if one will only adopt the morning inside bath. Folks who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when they arise, split ting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach, can, instead, feel as fresh as a daisy by opening the sluices of the system each morning and flushing put the whole of the internal poisonous stagnant matter. Everyone, whether ailing, siok or weil, should, each morning, before breakfast, drink a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it to wash from the stomach, liver, kid neys and bowels the previous day's in digestible waste, sour bile and poison ous toxins. The action of hot water and limestone phosphate on an empty stomach Is wonderfully invigorating. It cleans out all the sour fermentations, gases, waste and acidity and gives ona a splendid appetite for breakfast. The millions of people who are both ered with constipation, bilious spells, stomach trouble, rheumatism; others who have sallow skins, blood disorders and sickly complexions are urged to get a quarter pound of limestone phos phate from the drugstore, which will cost very little, but is sufficient to make anyone a pronounced crank on the sub ject of internal sanitation.
