COAL PRODUCERS ARE
LARGEST FUEL USERS
over Six Million Tons of Anthracite
Year Burned at the Mines.

New York, Dec. 1O.--Anthracite
coal producers of Pennsylvania are
shown to be among the largest con-
sumers of coal by the last report of
the Pennsylvania department of
mines. At some of the mines where
a vast quantity of water has to be
pumped, twenty-five per cent of the
coal produced is used for steam and
heat. Steam with which to operate
shaft engines and slope engines must
be forced through more than 100
miles of steam pipe; and in order to
operate the machinery required in
anthracite mining. 460,21S-horse-
power had to be produced by steam
in 1906.
For all these purposes the anthra-
cite companies of Pennsylvania used
last year 6,359,2S0 tons of coal and
paid coal bill amounting to several
hundred thousand dollars. The least
valuable coal was used at the mines,
and OF course transportation was
saved, or this item. which is small In
with many others which
make up the cost of anthracite pro-
duction, would have been much
larger.

Protecting the Railway Employe.

Protecting the Railway Employe.
The interstate commerce commits
sion is engaged in so much work of
a character that makes every Ameri-
can citizen sit up and think that
some of its activities In which Il is
getting excellent results in less
spectacular way are apt to be over
looked. For example, there was the
announcement that more than a
hundred additional suits against
some twenty-five railways had been
commenced for violations of the safe
ty appliance law. This is the second
lot of such suits recently begun by
the attorney general on information
furnished by the commission. The
policy of the commission is to keep
the roads reminded of their duty and
to insist upon penalties against those
that are backward.
Up to a year or so ago the enforce
ment of the law was hampered by the
doubt as TO. the outcome of the test
suits that had been brought, but the
law came through the courts unin-
jured. and since then its enforce.
ment has been merely a matter of
the number of inspectors the commits
sion was able to employ with its
available funds.
Despite all that has been done. 1t
is a regrettable fact that this period
of increasing railway dividends is
also period of increasing casualties
TO employees. The number killed last
year was close to 1000 and the num-
Der injured was about 1900, in each

Strength Comes
Not for What You Eat, but From
What You Digest.

Most people eat most foods with
out dlscrimination--it matters little
what. Few stop to think what that
food does for them. This is the
first turn on the road to dyspepsia.
Reckless disregard OF the proper
choice OF foods, rapid eating and inn
proper mastication. are the unques-
toned causes OF all stomach disor-
Eders from the slight ache to the ma
| Ilignant cancer.
There is nothing more revolving
than a dyspeptic stomach--a very vat
for putrefaction, sending forth It's
poison throughout the entire system,
depressing the brain, befoullng the
breath. souring the taste, deadening
the muscles. incapacitating the liver
and kidneys for their work. debill-
tating the heart, choking the lungs
and clogglng the bowels,
All OF these dlsagreeable and dam
garous conditions are due TO the inn
proper digestion of food and the con-
sequent assimilation of poison. What
else can be expected? II the food
lies In the stomach, II the system is
constipated, fermentation is the ma
tural outcome IL shows itself in
sour watery risings, belohings, heart
burn and painful breathing.
There is only one way to relieve
this condition. II the stomach re-

Dyspepsia Tablets are nothing but
digestivos. They are not medicine.
They work when the stomach will
not.
Each tablet contains enough pep
sin, diastase, golden seal and other
digestive elements to reduce 5000
grains OF ordinary food TO the proper

Statistics ON Japanese.

VIM. e. Curtis, reliable authori-
ty in Washington, ID. c., sends a Chi
cago paper these facts on the Japa-
nese in America:
To show how insignificant is the
whole question. It is only necessary
to refer to the report of the commits
sioner of immigration, which says
that the total number of aliens arriv-
ing in the United States during the
last fiscal year was 1,100,175, of
whom only 14,243 were Japanese.
A smaller number of immigrants
came from japan than from almost
any other country in the world. II
hanks with Roumania, Portugal and
other countries In limited popula-
tion in our immigration statistics.
The Hawaiian islands are embraced
with the rest of the United States I'm
the returns. and at least 70 per cent
of the 14.243 arrivals last year re-
manned there. where the Japanese
constitute about one-third of the pop
ulation, numbering 56.243 out of
total of $4,000. II should be said
also that the 14.243 arrivals were
not all new immigrants. The Japa-
nese residents of Hawaii are con.
tinually passing back and forth be
tween those islands and their own
country. The best authorities say
that between 1000 and 5000 were
residents of Hawaii, leaving about
10000 actual immigrants.
During the last eight years the
number Of arrivals from Japan at the
Hawaiian islands and the Pacific
ports of the United States combined
were as follows.

population of California is Lass, ,053
souls of whom only 10,264 are Japa-
nese. This total. however, should
be doubled because of the number of
Immigrants from the Hawaiian ISL
ands and from japan direct, since
the count was made.
The best authorities estimate the
present total Japanese population Of
the Pacific coast at from $4,000 to
$4,000.
Other state are sending to Japan
after immigrants and offering them
inducements to come to this country
particularly Texas. Louisiana and
other sections of the south. where
they are not only welcome but are
considered the most desirable kind
of immigrants. The Japanese also
are cordially welcomed in Oregon,
Washington, Montana, Nevada and
every one of the western states, in
Guiding California, by the employers
of labor; by ranchmen, farmers,
manufacturers and by everyone who
needs workmen. The only opposition
comes from the laborers. who are
now receiving fabulous wages in San
Francisco ard do not want compe-
titlon, and also from the politicians
who are pandering to the labor vote.

the census oificials tell me that,
according to the census of 1900, there
are only 24,O57 Japanese in the Uni.
ted States proper. Since the enumer-
alton. however. there has been a con-
siderable increase. and they esti-
mate the present number between
5000 and 10000.
The total population of San Fran

tants are not given separately. but

Open Air Charity.

One of the best of local charities
is now making reacy ror its regular
summer work. 1t is the gift of free
car rides into the country and week
vacations at a healthrui, attractive
camp TO the puny children and
overworked mothers of our side
streets and alleys. Last year 5000
Of our people, young and old, were
given two or three hours of in
vigorating air and a change of scene,
and $50 mothers, worn out at the
wash tub or the kitchen stove, were
rested for week at Camp Good
Will
About $1,000 was required 10 do
that work. 1t was all subscribed
by the people Of Washington-and
II did the donors as much good, in
cidentally, 10 give the money as it
did the recipients OF the car rides
and the vacations. The whole en-
terprise was a fine manifestation
on the part of Washingtonians of
that neighborhod and public inter
est which TOO often lies dormant
in the Capital.
This year the agents of the As
sociated Charities and the Instruct
ing Visiting Nurse Association hope.

standard set last summer. Several
merchants have already headed the
subscription lists with individual
contributions of $50. The interest
OF everyone who saw any of the car
riders or visited the camp last sum-

Because help must come from
every one of them, and a good many
more besides, if the enterprise is
not to fall behind the mark already
