"What," asked the teacher. "does an
thracite mean?"
That's a kind of COAL" said little
Willie.
"Yes. Anthracite coal is what we
call hard coal. So anthracite must
mean hard. Now, can you tell me
what bituminous means?"
"That's coal, too" Willie, replied.
"But it isn't the same kind of coal
that anthracite is? Bituminous coal
is what We commonly refer to as soft
coal. Now, Willie, let us see if you can
form a sentence containing the words
anthracite and b~ituminous."
Willie thought the matter over for
a minute and then said:
Here's one. This morning before
pa started downtown ma wanted five
dollars for groceries and things, and
she tried to get it by saying bitumin-
Gus words, but pa gave her an anthra-
cite look, and when he disappeared

cent. upon the acreage planted last
year.
The average condition of the grow
ing crop, on May 26, was SO, as COM
pared with TAI on May &c, 1903, 95.1 at
the corresponding date in 1902, and a
ten-year average of 1913.
The percentage of increase in acre
sge in the different states (the COM

The Pole Star.

Prof. Campbell, of the Lick observa-
tory, says the north pole star is APP
preaching our solar system at the rate
of seven miles per second. This ve-
locity he calculated by means of the
spectroscope. The professor further
that the star is not single,
but double. The companion star is not
visible to the naked eye, but can be
made out with a powerful telescope,
The two stars revolve around their
common center of gravity in a period
of four days, their orbit being com.
parable in size to that of u own
moon. 1t is also further believed that
q third body is attracting the two-star
system, thus causing a periodical vari'
alton in the velocity of the pole STAR

Coelledo, Mo-, June 6.-Mr. Adolph
Gerhardt, Chemist and Druggist of this
place, was so i'll with his back and kidneys
that he couldn't work. He was very bad
and did not seem to get any better till
be began to use Dodd's Kidney Pills. He
was so delighted with the results he got
from this remedy that he wrote:-
"Dodd's Kidney Pills are a God-send to
suffering humanity. l was down on my
back from Kidney Trouble SO bad that /
was unable to work. l began to use
Dodd's Kidney Pills and before l had
finished one box, l was able to go to work
again. / have not had any Kidney Trouble
since. / will always recommend Dodd's
Kidney Pills"
Many such cases are being reported from
all over the state and Dodd's Kidney Pills,
solely on their merits and by the wonder
full and perfect cures they work, are
established as the standard remedy for
Backache and all Kidney Complaints.

TURN OVER TIME
When Nature Hints About Food.

When there's no relish to any food and
all that one eats doesn't seem to do any
good then is the time to make a turn
over in the diet, for that's Natures way
of dropping a hint that the food isn't the
kind required.
For a number of years l followed
railroad work, much of it being Office
work of a trying nature. Meal times
were our busiest and eating too much
and too quickly of food such as is COM
monty served in hotels and restaurants,
these together with the sedentary habits
were not long in giving me dyspepsia
and stomach trouble which reduced my
weight from 205 to 100 pounds.
There was little relish in any food and
none Of 1t seemed to do me any good. 1t
seemed the lore | ate the poorer l got
and was always hungry before another
meal, no matter how much l had eaten.
Then I commenced a fair trial OF
Grape-Nuts and was surprised how a
small saucer of it would carry me along,
strong and with satisfied appetite, until
the next meal, with no sensations Of
hunger, weakness or distress as before.
II have been following this diet now
for several months and my Improvement
has been so great all the others in my
family have taken up the use of Grape
Nuts with complete satisfaction and
much Improvement in health and brain
power.
American people undoubtedly eat
hurriedly, have lots Of worry, thus hind
ering digestion and therefore need a food
that is predigested and concentrated in
nourishment." Name given by Postum

All Kinds of RumOrs Current, I3ut
Few Have Any Basis.
London, June 6.-That the curtain is
drawn again over the progress of the
war probably indicates that important
events are impending or afoot. The
explosions heard at Port Arthur sug-
gest that the Russians have renewed
their attempt to remove distractions
in the mouth of the harbor. All kinds
of rumors are current, few of which ap'
pear to have any reliable basis.
Various special correspondents in st.
Petersburg report increasing depres-
sion in Russia over the prospect of the
fall of Port Arthur, and say wild re-
ports are in circulation as to dissen-
sions between the generals and the
highest officials over questions Of pol
icy and strategy. The Daily Mail gives
great prominence to a statement from
a Russian correspondent" declaring
that Russia will stand or fall by Port
Arthur, as far as the governments
prestige with the lower classes is con-
cerned.

stockin@Iess German Soldiers.

Great attention is paid in the German
army to the condition of the soldiers
feet. The German infantry soldier
wears no stockings. He rubs his feet
with lanolin or vaseline, which is rem
dered antiseptic by the presence of a
little admixture of salicylic, carbolic
acid or camphor, and then envelops
them in a piece of flannel. This lessons
the friction between boot and foot con
siderably and thus prevents the forma-
ton of boils.-Chicago Chronicle.

Russians Dependent on Japs for
News From Port Arthur.

NEWS EOEt u
st. Petersburg, June 6.-The govern
ment appears to be without fresh in
formation of any sort concerning Port
Arthur. The authorities are skeptical
over the story of smoke and heavy
d%etonations at Port Arthur, which may
have been caused by the Japanese
passing over mine fields on the land
ward side. Even this they say is a
doubtful supposition thus early in the
siege. 1t is again pointed out in off
cia1 quarters that the government is
not in receipt of anything from Port
Arthur, but is wholly dependent on re-
ports from the Japanese or on neutral
sources except when a messenger sue.
ceeds in breaking through the lines.
1t is not expected that the embargo
will soon be raised.
