SITUATION GROWS MORE sERl.
Gus IN ALL SECTIONS OF
THE STATE.
DIES MONIES MINES CLOSE
BECAUSE OF SNOW BLOCKADE
Factories Compelled to Shut Down in
Several Cities Because of Scarcity Of
Fuel-supplies of All Fuel Except
Higher Grades Exhausted-North-
western Moving Coal Trains.

Des Moines, jan 6.-The coal situa-
ton in Des Moines was made desperate
yesterday by the closing of three of the
largest mines in the county, the Saylor,
the Wright and the Economy. Work
was suspended in these mines yester-
day because the deep snow prevented
cars from running out of the mines.
With no appreciable thaw predicted
by the weather bureau and the stock
of the remaining companies dwindling
rapidly, the city faces one of the worst
coal faminies in years.
All railroads entering Des Moines
have sidetracked all freight, and out
side of passengers, are handling MOTH
ing but coal, in desperate attempt to
relieve the situation.
People are crying for coal all over
the city and every one of the COM
panies report that they have their
books filled with orders for weeks
ahead. AT present there is little pros
pect that more than scattering OF
these orders will be filled.
Local dealers report that they have
the greatest difficulty in getting any
coal into Des Moines ia ALL
A great deal of interest has been i'm
mediately aroused here over the tele-
phone situation. The promoters of
new automatic system sent out letters
to leading business men last Monday
and at once received back hundred
or more replies. Out of the first hun
dred only three replies were adverse
and it was easy enough to trace the
reason for these adverse views. The
most surprising ti.;ng is that as soon
as it was known a move of this sort
was on foot a group of capitalists met
and talked it over and offered to take
stock for a, large enough sum to float
the enterprise offhand. The promoters
have found public sentiment here very
much more favora bic to a new system
than they had expected.

Desperate Conditions at Dubuque.

Dubuque Jan. S,-The coal situation
in Dubuque is desperate. The Union
Electric Company has been burning
two cars day and has two days sup

clare the prospect is small for securing
a further supply. The Dubuque Ex-
celsior works yesterday shut down. and
other institutions are in sore straits.

FLUTE PLAYING
NOW HEALTHFUL

Many members Of the medical pro-
fession have recommended the playing
Of wind instruments as an aid TO health
and Of all Of them the flute stands SUI
preme in this regard. Flute playing
necessitates perfect breathing. It is
an established fact that very few per-
sons breathe correctly, and many all
ments could be avoided If correct
breathing were properly adhered to.
Correct breathing is one Of the funda-
mental rules of physical training. and
the play of the flute not only compels
the very strictest observance of this
rule, but it requires that the breath
ing shall be done in as pure air as
possible. Regular playing of the flute
also develops the chest and should
