the strike cloud that has overhung
Colorado coal fields since Monday came
yesterday when the operators in tho
northern fields met their men in con-
ference and went half way in mutual
concessions. which probably will result
in the strike being declared OFF in the
northern fields. II was proposed that
the men go to work Monday at the
eight-hour day. 1t was stipula ted that
this length of day should remain II the
miners in the southern coal fields are
granted an eight-hour day. II they
lose the fight the men in the northern
fields are to go back to the 10-hour
day. The conference also overhauled
the schedule.
The demands of the unions were for
raise OF pay of 20 per cent and eight
hours. If they accept the offer OF the
company they Will get an increase OF
about 10 per cent. and the eight hours.
The northern coal fields mine about
5000 tons of coal day. and of this
amount 20 per cent comes to Denver.
The action of the conference. IL ratified
by the miners, will settle finally the
problem of furnishing the city OF Den
yer with coal by providing supply Of
Ignite that will. with the soft coal
now being mined in the southern field,

The unions will vote tomorrow on
the proposition of the employers. The
votes will really be cast today, but to-
morrow the count will be made and an
nouncement sent out.
The situation In the southern and
western fields remains unchanged.

Sleep on Burning Culm Banks.
Death comes in many forms in the
anthracite mines of Pennsylvania. but
only one form is painless and pleas
ant, and to only one the victims go
unconsciously. 1t is the death of the
burning culm bank.
Many times during the year is such
a death recorded when one of these
great culm banks is burning. The fire
is not seen in the daytime, and at
night it shines only with a faint glow
through the layers of ashes which
separates the live Goals from the out

To these burning banks tramps and
other unfortunates, forced to spend a
night in the open air. go when the
nights grow chilly. The warm breath
of the culm lures them on with o
promise of a warm bed for the night.
and they lie down to sleep in the com

never open their eyes again.
The noxious gases emanating from
the bank watt over them SO softly that
they are soon asleep. and in many
cases they never awaken, being suffo-

EASY TO KEEP WELL
If YOU KNOW YOURSELF.

Keeping well is mechanical. Eat
ing, working. sleeping, temperate en-
joyments and becoming animated over
some useful subject cover the field.
1t is better to pay doctor to tell
You how to keep well than to treat
you after you arc sick. But so few
do this the doctors hardly know what
to say when one tries the plan.
A suggestive fact is that woman
with continually poor health will take
sick house plant and bring it up into
a flourishing state, and a man who
never sees well day will take sick
horse and cure him. This illustrates
the power of special knowledge ap-
piled. But there are people with spe-
cial tendencies and inherited diseases,
who break all rules of treatment and
preventive science, though these ex-
ceptions are SO few that no one need
place himself in the list till he has
tried a modern course of systematic
exercise with proper diet and right
remedies.
1t took one doctor long time to
learn that bread with coffee or fruit
with bread did not agree with him.
He found that potato and fruit or
coffee went all right together. You
must know yourself and then do as
well as you know.
A Chicago doctor tells me that a
cold salt water bath before breakfast
is favorite with him. He thinks
more of soups than meats. Recently
radishes and lettuce gave him such
severe Indigestion that it required
tn hiS
stomach. But for some people milk
is almost a poison. and for diet they
eat graham waters or dry toast.
Another doctor tells ME he can eat
anything but liver and does not pay
much attention to himself except to
eat and sleep regularly. He has nat
ural force, physical harmony. latent
energy, and lives healthily automat-
ically. 1t is Just as important to have
little reserve strength as 1t is to
have emergency money.
Some people seem to draw money
and health toward themselves con-
tinually. while others appear to
frighten these blessings off. There
are few general rules. Some really
need medicine often, but many will
never be healthy as long as they con-
tinue dosing. 1t surely requires a
clear head tn decide for each case
Alright. Some are built to walk many
miles a day and some are always in
jured by a common stroll. One man
told me that muscular exercise always
destroyed his appetite and that a
couple hours work in his study made
him as hungry as bear.
Many eat too much. A few do not
eat nearly enough. Light foods and
no cold drinks for summer. Keep
away from very hot air If you are
going into very cold air winters. Be
extra careful about clothing during
spring and fall Plain food gives
rich blood. DO not experiment with
your appetite. If you know by expert
ence useful information that would
add to this or have a question you
would like answered send it on. Eat
for strength. Speak for truth. Live
to spread good news.
