portion of the central gulf districts suf-
fered injury from excessive rains, while
much needed rains fell in the Rocky
Mountain and North Pacific coast reg

States and southern Texas are in Iced

Rocky Mountain districts and in the
upper Ohio valley. lower lake region
and northern portion of the middle At

Highly favorable weather prevailed
throughout the principal corn States. An
exceptionally large and fine yield of corn
is now assured over much Of the greater
part of the corn belt, and only a very

COAL TRUST is FORTUNATE.

There is one trust the President
Roosevelt seems to fear to tackle,
and that is the antracite coal trust.
No other trust is so openly evadiny
the law, and none other weighs more
heavily on the people. The coal trust
is undoubtedly guilty of two crimes,
that hardly requires legal evidence 10
prove the coal barons law breakers.
There is no more complete combine
to restrict trade, for the trust raises
the price of it's product at will. It
is in collision with the railroads to
plumber the consumers, and whether
the trust control the trust, is imma-
terial, except that both are combined
to evade the law, yes, not only evade
the law, but openly defy it.
No attorney general has dared to
lift his voice against the coal trust,
although the evidence to convict the
combine, or the individuals coal bar
ons has been furnished by that pub
lie spirited citizen-Mr Hearst and

Justice or in the hands of the presi-

Although 1t is the function of the
physician to indicate the general ma
ture of the nourishment to be given to
his patient, the responsibility for the
proper feeding of the sick person de-
wolves almost entirely on the nurse,
and on her tact and judgment the sue
cess of the treatment will depend.
Even when the food is correctly pre-
pared, much attention to the manner
of service is requisite in order to make
it tempting to the invalid.
During illness the things that nat
urally stimulate the appetite, such as
fresh air and exercise, are entirely
lacking, so that every possible means
must be used to render the idea of
food as agreeable as possible. Chief
among these is the care of the mouth
and tongue. Unless these are kept
scrupulously clean by the use of
cleansing lotions, particles of ferment-
ing food are retained, and give rise
to much discomfort This Is especial
~ true of milk, the administration Of
which should always be followed by a
cleansing Of the tongue with some
such preparation as a mixture of equal
parts of glycerin, lemon juice and
water applied with cotton swab.
Before bringing in the meal the
room should have been put In order as
much as possible, the patients hands
and face sponged off, and the bed
clothes and pillows freshly arranged.
The tray itself should be decked with
the prettiest china, the whitest and
freshest linen and the brightest silver
the household boasts. Very small por-
tons only should be set before sick
person, for in this way a greater
amount is likely to be eaten than If
the weak appetite is appalled, by the
sight of well-flled plates.
In giving liquids to patients unable
to sit up, the head should be raised
by slipping the hand under the pillow,
| instead Of directly under the head, as
in this way the position Is less con-
strained and swallowing is easier. The
conventional sick feeders with noz-
| zles are usually disliked by patients,
/ and in most cases fluids can be taken
without much effort through bent
glass tube or from a tumbler only a
third full. Here again the patient
should not be presented with more
than he is likely to drink, as a sick
person feels a certain satisfaction In
completely emptying his glass.
1t is often difficult question to de-
eide whether or not to waken sleep
ing patient for food. In most cases
it Is better to wait but often suffer
er may be reused sufficiently to take
few swallows, and yet be able to
drop off again and sleep all the more
soundly for having received the nour-
ishment-Youth's Companion.

MRS. READERS PISTOL.
And the Effective Use She Made of
1t on a Certain Occasion.

And tho Effective Use She Made of
1t on a Certain Occasion.
In her story OF ELLA Rawls Reader,
Financier," in Everybody's, Juliet
Wilbor Tomkins tells the following
incident Of a struggle of Mrs. Readers
in Peru:
After eight months of useless
struggle she went out to Callao, which
is about half an hour by rail from
Lima, with her Peruvian lawyer,
Scotch interpreter, and American en-
gineer, and forced the manager to
open the warehouse and let her make
an inspection of the machinery. The
manager had met her with his law
yers, and the hour of argument before
she gained her point had been some
thing of q strain. During the whole
process a Peruvian on the Haggin side
had been standing close to Mrs. Read
ar. his little, narrowed eyes staring
with that deliberate insolence only
Latins can accomplish. The company
went out into the wareroom where the
machinery lay and the difficult bust
ness Of a hurried inspection went for
ward, but still the bullying stare never
ceased. About two hours of 1t, the
fine edge of that hidden temper of
hers suddenly sprang out. She Whirled
on him with a blaze Of words that
needed no interpreter, and all at once
his stare was being returned by a
fierce little pistol held in strong
white hand and quite ready for bust
ness.
1.-THE gentleman Of Peru neither
apologized nor retracted; he incon
tinently, unqualifiedly fed. And he
was not the only one. Like shadows
the men fitted out of the dusky ware
house, leaving the dangerous woman a
clear field. When she looked about
there was no one in sight but two
Irish porters, and in their eyes were
sympathetic wrinkles, meeting which
Mrs. Reader could only sink dowr
helpless with laughter, and put up bel
pistol"
