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

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

one who should interfere with

onable price lor the product in the be
ginning.
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

improper to take a mall encumbered
with a wife hnd children and send
him to the front while unmarried men

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

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."—

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."—

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. The
tit avoidance of fermentation is,
tit however, Important in all.
