stroyed by the liver. are carried di-
rect to the skin and cause sallow-
‘ liens. blotches. redness. eruptions
'pnd pimples.

plexion comes only from ,within the
body. Blood impurities cannot be
rubbed away with creams or oint-
inputs.

Federal T r a d e Com-
mission Complains
Of Excessive Prices--
Production Retarded
WASHINGTON. July 6.-—On the
eve of a threatened coal srtike, the
Federal Trade Commission todag
charged anthracite cial producers
and wholesalers with taking advent.
age of similar situations in the past
to gouge the coal-consuming public.
Coming at this time the. apparent
purpose of the commission's report
is to forestall a panic market. sim-
ilar to that of August, 1923. pre-
ceding tho strike. which unscrupu-
lous anthracite wholesalers seized
upon as an excuse for extorting
profits ranging as high as $3.65 a
ton for coal.
"During August. 1023.. for ex-
ample, when the highest railroad
coal company price was 88.35 per
gross ton, wholesalers reported pur-
chases from independent operators
of a. considerable tonnage at $14 or
more per ton at the mine." the com-
mission's report stated. “The exor~
bitant character of such profits is
evident when it is realized that these
wholesalers sell in csrload lots with-
out physically handling the coal, and
that even the gross profits allowed
during the war was only 20 cents
per ton in the Eastern States." the
report stated.
While the commission severely
criticized the independent. anthra-
cite coal operators for engaging‘in
gouging practices. it declared that
eight large companies. controlled by
railroads. and producing about 70
per cent. of anthracite output. have
not developed production to meet
public demand and aided in Imain-
taining unduly high coal prices.
