RATE PROBLEM UP TODAY
Joint Committee Probing Coal Short
age Failed to Meet Yester-
day to Formulate Report.

Because a quorum was not present the
joint legislative committee which has
been investigating the coal shortage did
not meet yesterday morning at o'clock,
as was expected. to formulate its report
to the senate and house of representa-
tives The meeting will be held this
morning and at that time the whole ques-
ton involved will be carefully gone over.
As already intimated there are liable to
be radical differences of ideas among the
members and there will in all probability
be a majority and minority report
After the committee decides exactly
what it wants to do a subcommittee will
be appointed by the chairman to draw the
reports
Senator George n. Lawrence. who has
been the moving spirit of the inquiry. is
out openly in favor of a maximum rate
law to cover coal shipments, and he goes
so far as to say that If the rest of the
committee does not agree with him there
will be a minority report. The members
of the committee seem aware of only
one fact and that is that certain part of
their constituency is clamorinG for some
sort of railroad legislation, and they do
not care much what its character is just
so that il satisfies this desire

WHAT A YOUNG HUSBAND

pany, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,
Price, 81, net.
If marriage is divine institution,
| if the tenderest and most sacred rela-
tions of life cluster about the family
and the home, then no words of praise
can be too strong with which to com
mend this exceptional book. Its au-
shows himself capable and cour-
ageous. IT'S paragraphs are candid
and clean. To these pages the author
thor lifts the sacred relations of mar
ried life out of the impure and vile
thinking which have dregraded man
hood, debased and debauched woman
hood and robbed marriage and home
of the blessing and happiness which
God intended. 1t treats of matters
of vital Importance, is fee from tech
nical terms, is scientifically accurate,
delicate and refhed-a pure, clean
ard ennobling book. These pages
are crowded with that information
which saves from the sad consequent
ces of blind blundering, and imparts
that information which enables it's
possessor to escape the ills which am
bush in mystery and ignorance. 1t
ought to be read by every person, of
mature years, whether married or
unmarried, both men and women.
The author has treated the most deli
cate and sacred subjects with that
same ennobling force which charac
terizes the preceding books of the
series, addressed to boys and to
young men, and which won for these
books such unsolicited and hearty
communication at the international
convention of the Young Men S
Christian Associations at Grand Rap
ids, Michigan, and at Mr.. Moody's
World Students Conference at North
field, Massachusetts. This book and
its predecessors are worthy of the
endorsement accorded them by relig-
ious, secular, educational and medical
periodicals in this country and in
Europe, and deserve the hearty COM
mendation which they have received
from eminent men and women every
where. They should nave place in
every library, in every school and in
every home throughout the land.

A STRENUOUS TIME FOR

Springtime is the glad time of the
year, and were it not for one thing it
would be a season of almost unalloy-
ed joy. But everything earthly has
its proverbial pot of ointment. With
spring it is housekeeping.
Like the spring itself it begins in
the south and gradually works north
and as it goes its path is marked by
domestic upheavel and desolation un-
til the process is completed. It is no
exaggeration to say that it is hard
and stenuous experience, especially
for the man of the house who, like
the dove that returned to the ark,
can find mo rest for the sole of his
feet. +" He goes home from his day S
labor tired and weary, longing for
the tranquility and repose which be
expects the house to afford him, an6
instead of a glad welcome he is con
fronted with miscellaneous assert
ment of furniture promiscuously pill
ed on the front porch, the lawn, and
the back yard. Literally the house is
turned inside out.
