What's in a Name?

Everything is in the name when it
comes to Witch Hazel Salve. E G.
Dewitt & Co. OF Chicago, discovered,
some years ago, how to make a salve
from Witch Hazel that is spec ific
for Piles. For blind bleeding, Itch
ing and protruding Piles, eczema,
cuts, burns, bruises and all skin dis
eases. DeWitt's s1lve has no equal.
This has given rise to numerous
worthless counterfeits. Ask for De-

This is a disease which is especially

COAL SUPPLY IS AMPLE.
The Anthraeite Newly DisceveFeA
win wars the Werla for
Years e Gene.

Eight veins Of anthracite coal were
located in the upper district in q SUI
burb of Wilkesbarre last week and ~
veins now worked in that district,
lying below the new veins, were
found to be rich and apparently very
productive. It is estimated that the
tract Of 1900 acres which includes
the deposits contains 30O, DOC, GOO tons
of coal and that it would require
5000 men to work 200 years, $50 days
in the year, to bring the vast deposit
to the surface. Allowing much for
the exaggeration which usually char.
acterizes the first reports Of discov-
cries of this nature, says the Phila-
delphia Ledger, the new veins will
probably add greatly to the anthra-
cite coal supply. The estimates OF
the duration of this supply must be
revised If the new fields are as ex-
tensive and productive as the early
predictions indicate. One Of the dis
patches announcing the find says
that it is estimated that the deposits
will furnish anthracite to the world
for 20 years.
In Roberts Anthracite Coal In
dustry," valuable and informing
work, published in 1901, several es-
Inmates Of the probable continuance
of the anthracite coal fields OF Penn
sylvania are presented, as computed
by mining engineers. According to
the forecasts of these authorities, the
supply will last from 80 to 100 years
IL the annual production be $4,000, 900
tons. The total number Of tons
mined from 1920 to 1900 inclusive was
1,197,7O6, ISL tons. It is estimated that
four times as much is still in the
beds. .ts' .3 sd
The author. notes that all the ter
ritory embracing the anthracite coal
fields was purchased by the govern
ment from the Indians. In 1749 . sec
ton 1875 miles long and 80 miles wide,
comprising all Of Dauphin and
Schuylkill counties and parts OF
Northumberland, Columbia, Luzerne,
northampton, Monroe and Pike
counties, was bought from the In
dams for the paltry sum OF $4,000.
Mr.. Roberts continues:
To-day an acre of coal land con-
tanning three feet of workable coal
will command from $500 to 5000,
while a building lot in the city of
Wilkesbarre on one of its busy thor
oughfares will command more than
$4,000. In 1868 a similar purchase of
the Wyoming valley was effected and
the price paid the Indians was about
the same. DR.. Throop says in his
.Fifty Years in Scranton that In 1774
land was sold in the neighborhood Of
Scranton for four cents an acre; in
1884 the same land could not be
bought for $1,000 an acre. 4I5

watery. Great numbers of very small
pustules, cover all but the outer bor-
der of the discolored spot, and give its
surface a roughened appearance. The
final result Of this disease may be the
running together Of these various
spots 80 as to form an irregular, de-
pressed patch. The whole fruit at
length becomes shriveled into an ir-
regular hard body, and does not fur
ther decay.
The pinkish or red material which
comes from the spots in the fruit is
composed Of spores. These are only,
distributed by rain-water or by insects,
never by the wind. The fungus lives
over winter in the dried fruit and in
the wound-like infected spots, called
bitter-rot cankers, on the limbs of the
trees, In May fresh crop of spores
may. be produced from the mummies,
and from the canker on the branches.
It seems probable the first infection
Of the season comes from the cankers,
and it can be traced where it has
spread to the young apples lying below
them on the trees, where the spores
have been carried by the rain.
Where diseased apples are found on
the trees early in the season it will
probably be found that just above
them is q mummy or q canker-spot. It
is important to remove the canker and
the infected fruits, as a very small
cankered spot may. prove source of
infection for alarge area.
The best treatment for this, disease
Is probably to spray the trees, includ-
ing especially the mnmmies and cam
kers, with strong copper-sulphate
solution. The disease can be kept in
check during the summer by repeated
applications of Bordeaux. mixture
