OF all the diseases known. with
which women are afflicted, chronic
kidney disease is the most fatal. In
fact. unless early and correct treatment
is applied, the weary patient seldom
survives.
Being fully aware of this, Lydia
E. Pinkham, early in her career, gave
exhaustive study to the subject, and in
producing her great remedy for
woman'S ills lydia f. Pinliham' S
Vegetable Compound was careful to
see that il contained the correct combi-
nation of herbs which was sure to con-
troll that fatal disease, woman IS kidney

THE COAL FAMINE AGAIN.

Annually there come from the
southwestern part of the state reports
of a coal famine. Sometimes the situa-
ton is more or less serious all over
the state, but it seems to be worst, as
a rule, in the southwest.
The letter published in the State
Journal on Wednesday from Repre-
sentative George B. Cones, Of Meade
county, indicates that the fuel ques-
ton is very serious in that locality
even now, and winter has only begun.
The people out on the prairies are de-
pendent almost entirely on coal for
fuel-unless they happen to be in
corn community where there is a good
supply of cobs. Mr.. Cones writes
from Meade that only three or four
cars of coal have been received there
this winter, and few people have to
exceed a quarter of a ton on hand.
People drive there from twenty or
thirty miles distant for coal and are
compelled to return home without it.
There have been minor rumors of
difficulty in securing coal in other
parts of the state, but none as seri-
GUS as the report sent in by Mr.. Cones.
Three years ago one of the chief
causes given for the shortage was the
conhscation of coal en- route by the
railroads. If a road got hard up it
was easier to confscate a, car of coal
that happened to be handy rather
than keep abundant supplies along the
road at convenient points. The coal
shipper was paid for his coal, Of
course. but this did not help out the
people who were depending on that
particular car of coal to keep them
W
criticised for their confscation prac-
tees. An effort was made to get a
law through the legislature forbidding
confiscation. but instead the practice
was authorized. The railroads have
coal since. however, and there has
been no general complaint along that
line.
The cause for the coal famine this
winter seems to be that the railroads
have not sufficient motive power to
move their traffic and hence some of
it has to be neglected. They have
been putting forth strenuous efforts to
move the grain, and coal hauling has
been delayed unless the coal could be
taken on a return trip.
It is stated that Meade county gets
it's coal from the southwest by way Of
Dalhart. Texas. while the cattle and
grain shipments from the southwest
are nearly all towards Kansas City
Perhaps if Meade county dealers or
dered some coal from the east they
could get it more easily.
At any rate, it is certain that the
railroad companies should see to It
that no community be allowed to suf-
fer for fuel. even though some other
traffic has to be DELAYED.

arouses an interest in Identifying the

Nothing of any Importance con-
corning the chemical nature of the
soils, except the acidity, could be taken
up in elementary schools; but the
physical composition and properties of
the soil can be worked out in a very
interesting manner. The economic
value of birds and insects is as inter-
esting to parents as to children after
the child's interest has been aroused.

variety, they should be encouraged to
continue at least one kind of expert
mental work longer than a season or
