CONSUMPTION
is CONTAGIOUS

All physicians admit that consumption 10 con-
tagious
As the sputnm dries, the bacilli, or germ poison
which 1t contains thrown into the atmosphere
and as, laden with catarrhal discharges they are
breathed into weak lungs, these poisons take root
and consumption Is developed. The only way to
prevent this disease is to breathe into the air
pipes or bronchial tubes, the vapors of a hesling
oil, laden with germ-k killing remedy. No medicins
taken into the stomach has ever yet cured genuine
Consumption.
According to the Worlds Consumption Congress
of Physicians, which met In London a year ago
last July the only germ killing remedy that has
been actually successful Is the discovered by
Prof. Koch of Berlin and manufactured under the
supervision of the German government and Is
called the koch Tuberculine."
Although injection 1t failed 1t has been
wonderfully successful when given by the Koch
Inhalation process. This process first intro

whom the system was named and is administered
by the German American Koch Lung Cure Co., at

COAL. FAMINE INQUIRY
Joint Committee of Citizens
to Probe for Cause.
MATTER DISCUSSED
COMMITTEE NAMED TO INTER
VIEW THE OPERATORS.
Belief That Railroads Discriminate
Against Washington - Dealers
Decline to Sign Agreement.
MATTER DISCUSSED

The committee. composed of members OF
the Business Mems Association and the
Board or Trade, which was appointed by
the District Commissioners to investigate
the cause Of the coal famine in Washing
ton, with view Of bringing it to an end
at the earliest possible moment, Is pursuing
it's labors with vigor.
AT meeting of this joint committee, OF
which Mr.. Thomas W. Smith is chairman
and MIR. Barry Buckley secretary. late yes
terday afternoon, the serious condition or
the coal famine was gone over in detail.
Much evidence was introduced at the meet
ing to substantiate the belief that the rail-
roads controlling the output Of anthracite
have placed an embargo on the national
capital. 90
Mr.. Thomas w. Smith, president of the
Board Of Trade; Mr. w. F. Guide, president
of the Business Mems Association, and Mr..
Wilton ]. Lambert were appointed a sub
committee to go to Philadelphia tomorrow
to confer with the officials of the Pennsyl-
vania and the Philadelphia and Reading
railroads concerning the lack of coal here
Alleged Cause of Shortage.
No matter what may be the cause, it Is
the purpose of the men appointeds by the
Commissioners of the District Of Columbia
to see that the national capital is not
further Disseminated against. At the meet
Ing yesterday 1t was suggested by some OF
the members of the committee that the
cause Of the shortage of coal was due TO
the fact that local dealers, members OF the
Washington Coal Exchange, had REUSED 10
sign the agreement demanded by the Phil
adelphia and Reading Coal and Iron Com
pany fixing the price Of anthracite at not
to exceed 80 cents a ton more than was
charged under normal conditions. 1t was
intimated that the dealers declined to sign
any such agreement as 1t would necessarily
reduce their profit 25 cents ton. This viii
be thoroughly investigated. and If found to
be true 1t Is not unlikely that cooperative
plan Will be formed by business men to get
a supply Of hard coal for Washington that
will be sold to consumers at the price fixed
by the Philadelphia and. Reading Company.
The discussion of the Question was full of
interest, and every member of the commit
tee present expressed himself as being anx-
ious to correct he+Serfoas conditions OBJ

Report of Secretary Buckley.


A report prepared by-Secretary Buckley
showed that only; si4teenears Of hard coal
were received in Washington Sunday, and
that the total amount received In the city
during the past ten days was but 129 cars
This report was made after a personal visit
to the yards Of the leading coal merchants
of the city and was based also upon state
ments made by representatives of the Bal
timore and Ohio and Philadelphia and
Reading railroads .
I'VE are brought together to find out why
coal doesn't come to Washington; not to
discuss the price of coal" Mr. Smith said,
in way of explanation after he had called
the committee to order "Our mission is to
find out what impediments may exist and
to remove them as soon as possible. Much
Of the coal that has come to Washington of
late has been from the Independent opera
tors. They are mining coal as fast as they
can. They have brokers in Philadelphia
The brokers wire to Washington dealers
the same as to dealers in other cities ask
ing for an offer. The dealers bid on 1t and
the highest bidders are served. That is the
reason why coal ls sold at such high figures
here at the present time. .

The Success Of the Schools System.

The success of this school, run upon the
family plan, as well as that of others
throughout the country run in the same
way, of which the school at Lancaster,
Ohio. may be taken as a good example,
forcibly shows the propriety and excellence
Of the system. The present conditions,
with those likely to occur in the future, cali
for the erection of an additional family
building, and an item has been put in the
estimates of $4,000 for a building and
81. 500 for furnishing it.
The board regrets to announce the death
on July last Of Col. George A. Shallen-

Providence Cane

The cane planters experiences
of this past growing season have
illustrated pretty thoroughly the
necessity of some means for irri-
eating the crop through a summer
or spring drought. Where the
cane has had moisture to it's rea-
sonable necessities it is yielding

where it has been extremely dry

lutely lost.
In sections Of the Fausse Pointe
country, as we have been advised,
cane was burnt during the
drought beyond the revivifying
influences of copious rains. In
the Petite Anse section similar
conditions prevailed, but to the
extent that. the cane crop was not
alone in representing losses to the
farmer.
The principal difference between
rice and the other crops grown IN
this section in matter of Irriga-
ton is that rice must have it
nine out of every ten years, while
the other crops can be success
fully grown three out of every
five years without it. If irriga-
ton was as necessary to. all crops
of this section as it is to rice, the
method would be common to all
and there would be no crops lost
completely by drought.
As a rule the cane crop is the
greatest sufferer from drought,
and at the same time will give the
greatest returns for the supplying
of needed moisture, even through
artificial channels. The farmer.
however, hopes to be spared the
expense necessary to irrigate and
defers from year to year what his
judgment prompts him to believe
would be correct course in his
methods of cultivation. II cane

The farmer who may be situat

large rice irrigating plants, it
strikes us, might be able to exper.

his cane, with but little outlay in

drought would tell the whole
story. Try it on a single cut.
