COAL FIELDS OF
NORTH MISSOURI
Biennial Report of State Geolog-
list Indicates Vest Reserves
of Bituminous Coal.

lst indicates vast reserves
of Bituminous Coal.
That Missouri contains a vast
reserve of bituminous coal is
shown by recent Investigations I'M
Gertakcn by the Missouri Geo
logical Survey in cooperation
with the L. S. Geological Sur,
vey. In a brief sketch of the
coal fields of north Missouri
published in the Biennial report,
the Department has indicated
that workable seams underlie hun
dreds Of square miles of the north
ern and western portions Of the
State, and that with proper con
servation Missouri will have avail
able Goals for many years to come
AS shown by this work, the
Coal Measures underlie approx
mately $4,000 square miles, in
Guiding wholly or in large part
As counties.
The Investigation, which is still
under way, has been restricted,
during the past year, to the
area north of the Missouri river,
including detailed studies of the
Bevier, Lexington, Novinger,
Mendoza, Vandalia, and Gaines
vile fields.
FORMATIONS CONTAINING
COAL.
All coal found in north Mis-
souri, forms a part of the Pennsyl-
vanian series of the Carbonifer-
Gus. On economic grounds, the
Pennsylvania, which has a max
imum thickness of 1000 feet,
may be said to consist of an up
per group called the Missouri.
and a lower group known as the
Des Moines. The Missouri.
group is distinguished by al
abundance of limestone and con
tains very little coal of impor
lance.
The Des Moines group, having
thickness of about 800 feet, ha.
been separated into three divis
-. ions, which in descending orde
are; (1) the Pleasonton shales

(3) the Cherokee Shales. TIL
Pleasanton contains very it'll

A meeting of the Sunday School
League has been called by President
Herman a. Meyers for Friday next at
the residence of w. r. Love, G street

officers. At the meeting last night this
business was TO have been transacted,

nouncement of the present head of the

the election to be postponed until the
special meeting.
A new rule of eligibility will be intro
dUCed by the league this year, which
will permit any man who is known to
attend Sunday school to play on any
team in the league. The rule last year
made II compulsory for the athlete to
play on his own church team.
Owing TO the withdrawal of Peck
there is vacancy in the organization
that must be filled before the start of
the league. 1t is known that several
teams would like to join the circuit, and
their formal applications are desired by
the president before the next meeting

Tigers Challenge Cubs
To a Training Series

CHICAGO, March 4-Frank Navin,
president of the Detroit Tigers, has sent
a challenge to President Murphy, ask
ing that a series of three games be
arranged between the Tigers and Cubs,
to be played in Munroe, La, during the
spring training season. Such a series
was proposed by the West Side magnate
early in February. but President Navin
was not in favor of the engagement at
that time, and Manager Chance opposed
all interleague contests upon his arrival
from the Coast.
The Detroit boss waived his objection
when a delegation of Munroe fans call
ed upon him this week and asked him
to arrange such series, but it is not
probable that the peerless leader will
change his mind and consent to the re-
newal of hostilities between his clan and
that of Hugh Jennings.

RHEUMATISM
PURIFYING THE BLOOD
THE ONLY PERMANENT CURE

No case of Rheumatism was evei
cured except by a thorough purifca-
ton of the blood; just as long as the
blood remains charged with ferment-
ing uric acid poison, the painful dis
ease will continue. The pains and
aches of Rheumatism are simply su-
perfcia1 effects of the impurities in
the circulation, and sometimes may
be temporarily relieved by the appli-
cation of plasters, liniments, hot
cloths, etc. But the person who tri-
fes with this dangerous disease by
depending on local treatment alone,
is certain to pay for the mistake
with constant suffering later on.
S. S. S. cures Rheumatism in the
only way it is possible to cure the
disease. 1t goes down into the blood,
and removes the uric acid from the
circulation, so that the nerves, bones,
muscles and joints are fabricated and
