In d modified form there is every prospect that
last winter will be feature throughout this
month and February. Complaints showing in
stances where coal has been out five and six
weeks are common and in some few cases coal
shipped in November has not yet reached its
destination.
Western prices practically the same as a
week ago, except on some Eastern Goals sold in
Western markets, which some lower and are
partially demoralized. This is true Of Hooking
and Youghogheny Goals. which are In plentiful
Improbable to the producer and in some cases
involves a loss to him. West Virginia smoke

hrrner than they have been in some weeks These
countered in moving coal to destination rather
than any lack Of production. Indiana and Illi-
nois Goals steady TO firm and the production
is being absorbed a rapidly IL is produced.
In the anthracite trade there has been a.
steady improvement since the first Of the year
in Western territory. Dealers, both in dock and

the continued cold weather is having a beneficial

officials of the United States for the pur-
pose of enlightening the public as to the
character and extent of adulteration IN
food commodities. and TO teach every pos
sible safeguard against such impositions.
The division which 1 am organizing is
known as the bottling in bond division,
and will be devoted TO exploiting pro-
tective law under the provisions Of which
our government enables any citizen 70
identify genuine and unadulterated whis-
ky by a glance OF the eye. The law pro-
vides for a green guarantee stamp over the
corks of genuine unadulterated whisky put
UP under government supervision.
"a feature Of the exhibit will be an ex-
pose OF bogus whisky. The guarantee
stamps OF the government which are used
10 denote the genuine article are made at
the Bureau Of Engraving and Printing at
Washington. and can be issued only by
authority Of the Secretary Of the Treas
ury. Once the stamp is affixed over the
cork OF whisky bottled in bond. it tells
ali the essential facts about the whisky it
incloSes. Ii tells the age. the standard
proof. the name Of the actual distiller, the
State and district in which it was made,

rotary A. w. Butler.

According to a report made by Secretary
Butler, of the State Board of Charities, on
the poor farms of the State. the conditions
surrounding the insane inmates of these
institutions are most lamentable. Some of
the insane inmates are said TO be kept in
chains and shackles, while others are in
humanity beaten and whipped by the SUI
perintendents. Mr.. Butler says that if only
the people understood some of the condi-
tions with which these unfortunate persons
have to contend, they would be prompt and
ready to provide adequate quarters and
homes for the insane
The State Board of Charities is seeking
to better these conditions and is making
some progress. For the first time in the
history of Indiana, every county poor asy-
lum in the State now has a superintendent.
Notable advance mas been made in many
of the counties and the board intends to
make an effort to provide new buildings
for those counties where the shelter of the
