I could not sleep and had no appetite. I had two doc tors, and had taken so many different medicines and found no help. I thought I will hare to give up; but at last my mother read about Peruna, bo I thought of trying that great medicine Peruna. I got a bottle of it and in about four days I almost stopped coughing, and after a while I surely found relief, and from that time we are not without Peruna in our home."

LETTER TKHFATETtS TO BLOW UP GOVERNOR AND DETECTIVE FORCE Demands He Deposit $50,000 at Certain Spot or Take Consequences Sacramento, Cal., Dec. 20. Governor Stephens received a letter this morning in which the threat is made that unless he leaves $50,000 at a certain place in Redwood Canyon, Alameda county, by 3 o'clock of December 31, he and two other state officials and the whole Sac ramento detective force, will be "blown up". The place the money is to be left is designated on a rudely drawn map in closed in the letter. The letter, signed "C. C. C." states that dynamite Las been planted at the governor's mansion, at the state eapitol and at the homes of two other state of-, ficials. not designated, and that it will be set off if the monev is not left. If the money is placed at the designated spot, tho dynamite will be removed, the letter Bays.

"Prices are higher this year than last year," Garfield admitted, "but they aro more stabilized." "Do you think you have the situa tion well in hand nowf" asked Ken yon. "I can't guarantee that there will be no more suffering," said Garfield- He placed much of the blame for the coal famine on the railroads and said the recent blizzards have accen tuated the rail tie-up. The greatest coal congestions, Garfield said, were at the "bottle neck" points of Pitts burgh, Cincinnati, Toledo and Albany.- "Coal constitutes one-half of the freight," he said, "and when we in crease it we increase railroads' dif ficulties. The transportation system is what it is now, because of our policy of preserving competition of our rail roads which cannot easily be put to gether. ' 'It is now as necessary to operate the railroads as one system as to cen tralize the people in armies and navies."

Many coal op erators have taken advantage of war times and are making much greater profits now than before the war was declared, Fuel Administrator Garfield admitted at the senate coal hearing un der' questioning by Senators Jones and Vardanian. "I can see no patriotism in the man who insists on making more than a nor mal nrofit," now said Vardaman. "You are not relying on patriotism, but higher prices to increase production, and the consumer must pay the bill, isn't that correct? '! asked Jones. "Yes," admitted Garfield. "Do any men with coal interests have anything to do with fixing prices," asked Kenvon. "Yes, in a way," Garfield replied. "Whin have you done in answer to the many complaints of coal famines?" inquired Kenyon. "I am issuing priority orders to re lieve suffering and sending coal where it is needed most, regardless of where it is consign Al, " the witness said. Garfield says he was planning to "swap" operators' contracts so that, for instance, Illinois mines will sell much of their coal in the west and not ship it east, whilo West Virginia mines will send their coal closer to their plants If necesary, Garfield said he would "lift" the contracts. "Our present plau," he said, "is to divide tho country into twenty coal dis tricts and place a representative of the fuel administration in each district to oversee distribution."

Twelve thousand, iron trades workers did not appear for work today at .l.iO ban rranciseo bay toiindres and shops al ter having been informed that their demands for a 10 per cent wage in crease would not be granted. They im mediately prepared for a strike. AVifh both sides in the iron foun dries controversy standing firm, Mor timer Fleischacker, federal mediator, early today took steps to prevent a general walkout. He urged employers and employes to get together in con ference and attempt to bring a sat isfactory adjustment which would make it unnecessary to tie up the plants. R. W. Burton, president of the Iron Trades Council, said the men aro merely demanding the same wage as has been grnnted by the government to iron craftsmen employed on gov ernment shipbuilding work. The . fomidrty ,rnauagkr reply that the ten -per cent is purely, a. bonus paid wholly to workmen to expedite work' on vessels for the emergency fleet corporation and does not prop erly apply to private foundries, few of which are doing any wnf work, ac cording to the managers.
