SCHOOL FOR NURSES.

The Philadelphia School for Nurses
is a benevolent institution and has
been in successful operation for six
teen years, and is one of the largest,
il not the very largest school for
nurses in the country. 1t gives a
course in nursing, which leading ply
sicians and experts in nursing educa-
tion concede to be of superior excel
lence.
The students and graduates Of this
School are young women OF the high
est character and ability. They are
regularly employed by over one
thousand of the best physicians of
Philadelphia, who have testified in
writing to their skill and ability.
These records are open for inspec-
tion to all editors and publishers; if
too far away to make a personal in
yestigation, some unprejudiced per-
son in or near Philadelphia may be
appointed to make the examination.
Graduates of the School are hold
ing positions as superintendents of
hospitals, sanitariums, teachers of
nursing, leaders in nurse missionary
service and other important places of
trust.
Free scholarships in the Philadel-
phia School for Nurses are provided
for many young women of all sec
tions of the country who would not
otherwise be able to secure this valu-
able training and excellent means of
livelihood.
Clara Barton. the founder OF the
Red Cross in this country, was for
many years and up to her death,
which occurred April 18th of this
year, firm friend and supporter of
the Philadelphia School for Nurses
She was in frequent consultation
with the instructors and managers,
maintaining apartments in the school
and talked and wrote freely of the
great value of the school and it's
work.

GOLD AND TIN PRODUCTION OF
SEWARD PENINSULA.

The gold produced in Seward Pen
insula, Alaska, for 1911, had a value
of s3,100,O00, which was a decrease
of about 100000 compared with the
figures for 1910. This falling off,
according to P. S. Smith, of the
United States Geological Survey, is
attributable to three main causes
first, a decrease in the amount of
winter mining; second, a general de-
crease in the number of mining oper-
ations, except dredging; and, third,
the handling of low-grade material.
All these causes may be referred
more or less directly to the exhaus-
tion of the known rich bonanzas be-
fore enterprises have been establish
ed capable of handling cheaply the
large amounts of low-grade material
which are known to exist on the
peninsula. From this statement it
may be inferred that at some future
time the gold production of the Sew
ard Peninsula will materially in
crease.
Although practically all the miner
al production has been derived from
gold placers, interest has been re-
newed in the tin deposits, and a pro-
duction of nearly 100 tons of concen-
trates worth about $4,000 is re-
ported from the tin placers on Buck
Creek.
Not only has dredging for placer

HARRIMAN's ESTATE
WORTH $7O,OOO,O 900.
State VIII Get About $4,000, 900 In
heritance Tax.

1t is expected that the proceedings
attending the appraisal of the estate
of the late Edward IL. Hartman for
the purpose of determining the
amount of the inheritance tax to be
paid to New York state will be COM
pleted in September.
The estate has already made ten
tative payment of 5000 for the
purpose of getting the per cent. re-
bate allowed under the transfer tax
act, but it is estimated that the final
settlement will net the State about
$3,000,000. This conclusion is bas-
ed on the assumption that the estate
will be appraised in the neighbor-
hood of S70,000,000.
The estate is one of four that will
pay into the State Treasury a large
transfer tax within a few months.
The aggregate value of these estates
is considerably more than $200,000,-
900.
Col John Jacob Astor's is about
$125, 100000, Isidor Straus' $3,-
100000 and Benjamin Gugginheim S

COAL DEALERS PREDICT
ANTHRACITE SHORTAGE.

In general review of the coal
trade Coal Age, an official publica-
tion, in its current issue, says in
part:
The past week has witnessed a
decided strengthening of the btu
minous market and, If anything, a
further tightening in anthracite. In
addition to this the expected car
shortage has finally developed, and
indications are that it will not be
long before this reaches serious
proportions.
The anthracite situation con-
tinues hard and supplies are only
about equal to those normally on
hand the first of April. With min
ing up to the highest point, the pro-
ducing companies all concede that
they are behind on orders. There is
some excess of the steam sizes, but
otherwise the demand is the strong
est ever experienced at this period of
the year. 1t is freely predicted that
there will be a serious shortage this
Fall and anxiety is quite evident in
all quarters.
g In the East bituminous has i'm
proved materially. Deliveries are
only made on specific orders and in
dications are that the low prices of
June and July will not be duplicated
during the rest of the season. This
is probably due to the continuous
curtailment policy adopted by some
of the companies. There are no
longer any heavy accumulations, coal
is being closely held and there is an
entire absence of demurrage. The
demand is more insistent than at
any time since the strike, and bust
ness is now on a fairly profitable
basis"

BATHING.

Now that hot weather is here, peo-
pie are thinking of the seashore, and
of lake and river resorts. This means
going bathing. Nothing is better for
you. The pure air and the cool wa
ter act as tonic and brace your
body. The sea breezes that accom-
pany ocean bathing are especially
beneficial because coming from over
the water they carry fewer germs
than the winds that sweep over the
land.
Not all people, however, can en-
dure cold water. Invalids and those
who are just recovering from illness
should not go bathing except under
the advice of a doctor.
Don't stay in the water until you
are chilled. From ten to twenty
minutes is quite enough. In this
length of time you derive all the
benefits of the tonic and the massage
which your body gets from motion
in the water. Don't dive into the wa
ter when overheated. If your body
is perspiring sponge off the perspira-
tion with cold water before entering
the river or ocean, as the case may
be.
After bathing in sea water, it is
pleasant to take shower bath, or if
that is not available, a sponge bath
in fresh water. Take your time in
dressing. Let the sun and air strike
your body. This puts a finishing
touch on the bracing effects of the
water and adds to the tonic of the
bath.-Karl de Schweinitz, Execu-
tive Secretary, Pennsylvania Society

GREAT ALASKAN EARTHQUAKE.

Account Published by the United
States Geological Survey of the
Quake at Yakutat Bay-One of
the Ten Greatest Earthquakes in
History.
The United States Geological Sur
vey has Just published an account of
one of the ten greatest earthquakes
OF historic times-that in the Yuka-
tat Bay region of Alaska. Although
there is no especial relation between
earthquakes and volcanic eruptions,
the recently reported earthquake at
Fairbanks as well as the activity
among Alaskan volcanoes gives per-
haps added interest to this account
OF natural pheonmenon of another
class.
The Yakutat Bay earthquake oc-
Cured on September 3, 1890, and
was followed during the next three
weeks by many less violent shocks.
The area of greatest intensity lay
along the flanks of the st. Elias
Range, in a region of high noun
tains and superb glaciers, and the
movement was accompanied by
enormous avalanches and rock
slides. This is a vivid demonstra-
tion that the growth of mountains is
still in progress. At some places in
the region the land subsided and
forests were submerged At most
places, however, the land rose, and
many points which before had lain
below sea level were elevated above
it. Barnacles which had lived in sea
water were found Al feet above sea
level. The study of the effects of
this earth movement was undertaken
by the late Ralph S. Tarr, of Cor
nell University, and Lawrence Mar
tin, Of the University of Wisconsin,
and their report of the work has
just been published as Professional
Paper SO of the United States Geo
logical Survey, with preface by G.
X. Gilbert.
In addition to making an exhaus-
tive study of the movements of the
land which took place in the Yakutat
Bay region and of the effects of the
earthquake upon the many glaciers
of the region, the writer's amassed
great fund of information in regard
to the intensity of the quake
throughout the whole area within
which it was sensible and recorded
the testimony of many witnesses.
The shock was felt at distances of
GO and 1900 miles in opposite di-
rections from Yakutat Bay, and the
area OF the region over which the
tremblings were felt is more than l.
100000 square miles. This gives the
Yakutat Bay earthquake place
among the very greatest earthquakes
Of historic times. The other great
shocks, without exception, resulted
in heavy loss of life, the number of
persons killed reaching in one of
them the enormous total of over Co.
600. The Yakutat Bay shock was
fortunately free from fatalities, not
because it was less severe than the
others. but on account of the sparse
ly settled character of the region in
which it occurred.
This report-"The earthquake at
Yakutat Bay, Alaska, in September,
1S99"-is illustrated with halftone
views showing the effects of the
earthquake, maps, and seismograms
OF the shock as recorded at places as
far distant as Batavia, Java; Cape
Town, South Africa; and Catania,
Italy. A copy of the report may be
obtained free on application to the

STOMACH REGULATED
Out Order Stomachs Feel Fine Five
Minutes After Taking Little
Diapepsin.

The question as to how long you are
going to continue sufferer from indi-
gcstion dyspepsia or out-of-order stom-
ach, is merely matter OF how soon you
begin taking some Diapepsin.
1t your stomach is lacking in digestive
power. why not help the stomach to do
its work, not with drastic drugs, but
reinforcement of digestive agents,
such as are naturally at work in the
stomach.
People with weak stomachs should
take little Diapepsin occasionally, and
there will be no more Indigestion, no
feeling like a lump of lead in the stom-
ach, no heartburn, sour risings, gas on
the stomach or belching of undigested
FOOD, headaches, dizziness or sick stom-
ach, and, besides, what you eat will
not ferment and poison your breath
with nauseous odors. All these symp-
toms resulting from a sour, out-of-order
stomach and dyspepsia, are generally
relieved in five minutes after taking a
little Diapepsn.
Go to your druggist and get a 50-cent
case Of Pape's Diapepsin now, and you
will always go to the table with a
hearty appetite, and what You eat will
taste good, because your stomach and
intestines will be clean and fresh. and
YOU will know there are not going to
be any more bad nights and miserable
days for you. They freshen you and
make you feel like life is worth liv
ing.

eminent and which must be the reality
of the Republican party because, FOR Is

we have honored and whom we have in

real principles of the Republican party.
No matter what may be the apparent
reason as given in the newspapers, we
must not forget that during the terms of
office in which he held the presidency OF
the United States he performed a won
derful service to the people of this coun-
try and that although we do not believe
in establishing in this country pure
individualism, yet we do not forget all
the great service he has rendered to
the people in those days of the Spanish
war and of the Inauguration Of the Pam
anna canal--although to-day we may ut
terly deprecate what apparently is an
unfortunate error of Judgment

sive as "the man who holds to the con-
servative doctrine that has given us the
reason for being" The state chairman
was the last speaker, those preceding
him including John w. Griggs, former
