FIXING PRICE OF COAL The coal barons of the country are finding out that there is a limitation beyond which they shall not go in fix S'Ss tag-prices for coal. Thefr have so per •latently insisted on fixing a fictitious feltae on coal that the matter has been brdjlight to the attention of our public authorities. The governor of Illinois, AgeeBis, displayed excellent sense in-proposing to the coal barons that 1 tiiay should reduce tlie price of coal to?» reasonable value considering tlie 3 mojiiey!invested In the mines and the e*jp©ns(tf of producing and iran sport iQg£coil. But tli in effort on the part of^he (governor was iu avail. !2L®Sf Last li$$k 'fie called 'before him the coal nUte aWners and sought to come to anHunderS'tanding as to a reasonable .'price to charge the consumer, but they welfe unwilling to accede to his sug """^gertion. He then proposed to appoint a.jrepresentative person who should t9.?clothed with authority to fix the t'ljtrfce of coal. The coal men were iftafined to favor the appointment of Judge Carter of the supreme court of lljlftbis Jo this position, but later on -^jjfiidiijifted Judge Carter's appoint „^meut, and in fact the appointment of one who should interfere with if'SSjil' prerogative to fix the prices of .MJboM themselves. udvei'nor Lo'wden was not frighten ^ijdiiiito abandoning his purpose and n^lfled tlie Washington authorities thdt Unless the fedei^^ %u|:l)iQri^im pH$ae6ded fit once'Jto 1tx thfr pritfe of K^iB Illinois that he himself would it'done. This notice od the part df.tbe governor evidently hatf Its ef because on Tuesday evening the fr$Udiht himself designated a price fbit coal bpyoini which the mines in country could not charge, lis. metins that the consumer will ha.ye to pay an unreasonable and Mftaordinary price for coal during tH cooling winter.

One of the lowest characteristics of human nature is seen in an attempt of a man of wealth who controls nat ural resources to demand an unreason able and unjust price tor what he pro duces, and who will seek to form a combination to raUe prices unjustly for a product in whic'.i he is interested in selling. The Indications are that this is the first step in a course that will have to be pursued by the government in or der to curb the'wicksd and selfish am bitions of men who geek to control the price of the necessaries of life. We are pleased to know that the government stands ready and willing to interfere with the wicked purposes of t^iese men, and if necessary to take control of their business in order to protect the consumer. SHOULD MAKE DEFINITE RULING There is a rumor throughout the country to the effect that the presi dent of the United States within the next two or three days is to make a rtullng on the question of whether single men who have been conscript ed are to be taken into the service before married men can be called. For the last few days a number of reports have issued from Washington to the effect that such an order Is liable to be issued before the close of The argument is made that it is improper to take a mall encumbered with a wife hnd children and send him to the front while unmarried men without any one dependent upotr them are" to be married men Is exhausted. Many oi the local boards have taken this view of the situation and" have granted the exemption of most of the married men who have claimed to be exempt. Other boards have given little atten tion to this thought and will require married men to go unless they were able to show special reasons where their families would suifer and would be likely to become a public charge if the husband and father were taken Into the service.. d«Pe2SSnt called only^fter theTist ^Twijeeje^ One thing is 6ertain. and that is it would be better to have a definite ruling to govern local boards so that they woul3 not be confused in order to determine just who should be and who should not be exempted. Mathematics and War. In addition to his attainments as a chess player Napoleon was a skillful mathematician, a science which' has always attracted great soldiers. As a young man he was quite distinguished by his ready manipulation of mathe matical formulae, and his keen mathe matical brain was a big factor in his success as a general. Wellington also had a similar talent, and on one occasion he told the Itev. R. Glelg that he attributed-much of his military success to his lifelong devo tion to the science- of numbers. Many other famous soldiers of the last cen tury were adepts in rapid and accurate calculation, among them Lee, Jackson and Moltke. Washington, too, was a mathematician, a subject in which he was exceptionally proficient. General Joffre, bad he not chosen the army as a profession, might have been a professor of mathematics. Mathe matical calculation and applied science are great factors for success in war.— London Chronicle. Knew It Wee Good Music. The late violinist, Reinenyi, used to call at the old Edison office at 05 Fifth avenue. Some one asked Mr. Edison if he remembered the visits. "I remember him well," Mr. Edison replied. "I was WorMng on the phonos graph. He used to come to No. 65 after his concerts and talk. He would sit there talking, and by and by start playing most beautiful things—wail tog, soft music. He would pliiy $2,000 or $3,000 worth every night." •ptdn't you get hiin once to play for the phonograph?" Mr. Edison was asked. "l'es, but the phonograph wasn't working well in those days, so it didn't do him justice. He stood on a soap bo* and played for me one night, and when be finished tears were rolling down his cheeks. I asked him what the matter was, and he said it always made him cry to hear good music."— Cbicaso News. •.. -6 Rale of the Romanoffs. Many curious instance? are given In the history of the Romanoffs as to how heirs apparent have been cheated of their lights, Catherine the Great ex erclsed her right of bequeathing the gcepter to whom she thought fit. Blie appointed her grandson, Alexander, in. stead of his father, her only son, raul, Taul, however, destroyed the docuinem before it could be put into execution. Earlier still Peter the Great left the scepter to Empress Catherine 1., a wo. man of peasant birth, who had been chambermaid at an inn. His grand child, the sole offspritig of his murder ed son and rightful heir, was thus dis inherited. Many other instances have been cited of depriving legitimate heirs of their rights. Sometimes it was mat ice, expediency in other cases and very often prejudice. Czar Taul, for instance, was on the eve" of sending his two eldest sons to Siberia tQ favor his third son, Nicho las. Paul was assassinated by the au thority of the two sous before he could carry out his plan, and thus one of the most terrible chapters was added to Russian imperial' history.—Pearson's Weekly. Beds For Cemplng. "The bed is the most Important requisite to a good camping trip. It may be only a pile- of leaves, but it must be comfortable." In the Wom an's Home Companion we read that folding canvas eotnlnd chairs are car ried. 'Tor -bedding get two rubber sheets for top and bottom if possible. The best thing is an old imitation leather top from an automobile. Can vas or dnck is good if you cannot get rubber. A double comforter makes very good mattress. When camping several nights get a bale of hay or straw, Take such blankets as yon are likely to'need and pillows if wanted. For one night camps, unless there are heavy aews, it is often needless to pitch the tent The rubber sheets pro tect and give warmth. XJse them to roll the bedding in when .packing, and spread on the ground to sit on when you eat." Her Old Gleve. Tt Is made out of the upper part of long, white kid glove," the little manicure explained when I noticed the case from which she took her file, scis sors and orange wood sticks. It was a very dainty affair, made very simply by slitting a glove arm and turning one piece of the kid back on the other. The pockets were made by graduated rows of machine stitching, which made them any size you liked. "I find this a very convenient little case to carry my tools when I am call ed from one room to another or go out to a private customer, It would be nice for traveling, too, as it is so flat and easy to make. My buffer, you no tice, Is covered with the white kid. I find it much better than the chamois, as it is softer and more like the palm of the hand."—New York Press. Writing te the Preee. I have sometimes thought that I would write a letter td~ the paper and Piabead W Henry Ster^ and in this letter I would excoriate the editot* and tell him just how the country ought to be run and bow little he knew about it But you know how you put off these things, so I did not do it for many, many years. Then I sat down and just burned the paper. I added a sarcas tic line then of course they would not dare to print my letter. I know that well enough. And they didn't. It nev er appeared. Wasn't that a good Joke on the paper?—Minneapolis Journal. The White Man In Africa. "The footprint of the white man is like the footprint of the elephant," says a Swazi native proverb—"it re mains in the ground." Another proverb: "White men are like and yet unlike quails. When you see one ill your country you will soon see a flock. But tlie quails leave you again, the white men never." Ne 8enee of Fitneae. "Poor Jones was such an odd, con trary sort of man!" "Yes, Indeed. Why, even when he came to die he did it in the living room."—Boston Transcript. Philoaephic Resignation. "Do you believe a pessimist can be a complete success in life?" "No," replied Mr. Growcber. "You can't hope to displease everybody."— Washington Star. & Dt PRACTICAL HEALTH HINT. ve 8our Stemaoh. V£ Sour stomach, a very common ft ailment, is a symptom rather VS than a disease. It is due either US to excessive secretion of acid or V£ to deficient secretion. If the se & ere tion is excessive, starch and 'J£ sugar fruits ferment readily, causing often serious irritation 'Jt and derangement If the secre it tion is deficient, the food fer tit rnents from lack of a proper sup tt ply of acid, which prevents the formation of lactic add from 5* starch or sugar fruits. In such tit cases it is important to use a diet tit that will avoid fermentation. Of tii ten meat exclusively or with tit turnips, which contain no starch, tit Is the most appropriate. In many tit cases an cxclustve buttermilk tit tit diet is best, untt 1n some cases tit tit fasting is beneficial. But it is tit impossible to lay down an ln UC variable rule for such cases.
