\ GREAT
FUEL CONSUMER
Burns up Nearly as Much Coal a.
Greater New York. Besides Large
Quantities of Coke and Natural Gas.

More fuel is. consumed in the city
of Pittsburgh and its immediate vi
cinity and more coal is shipped to and
through the Pittsburgh district, than
in any other district in the world, ac-
cording to Edward w. Parker, of the
United States Geological Survey. With
a population of about One-ninth of
that of Greater New York the con-
sumption of coal alone in Pittsburgh
is nearly equal to that Of the much
larger city. Greater New York con-
sumed in 1911 approximately 49,
100000 short tons and Pittsburgh
used about $500. 900 short tons. But
Pittsburgh consumes several million
tons of coke and considerable guam
titles of natural gas, which, added to
the coal consumption gives that city
a good lead over New York as fuel
consumer.
In the quantity of coal handled the
comparisons are still more striking.
Pittsburghs business exceeding that
of New York by nearly 50 per cent.
In 1911 the total coal traffic in New
York harbor, including the city con-
sumption. the transshipments to New
England and up-river points. and the
bunker and export trade, amounted to
approximately 36.00O,OO0 short tons,
whereas the coal traffic of Pittsburgh
including rail- shipments east and rail
and water shipments west, amounted
to nearly 53.000.000 tons.
In the total movement of coal to
Pittsburgh and points east and west
thereof there was an increase in 1911
increase being in the shipments
through 'Or from the district on ac-
count Of the depression in the iron
and steel trade the local consumption
Of coal at Pittsburgh deceased about
l,2J0.000 tons, or from $500 .654
tons in 1910 to 14,349,644 tons in
1911. The rail shipments to Pitts
hurgh decreased about 100000 tons
and the water shipments about 250,-
600 tons. The decrease i'm the con-
sumption Of coke was, of course. much
larger The movement of coal both
east and west, however, showed in
creases. western shipments increasing
from 24,453,5S1 tons to 25,291,264
tons. all in water shipments to lower
Mississippi river points and eastern
shipments, all rail, increasing from
10,7Sl,544 tons to 13.169,S66 tons
The water shipments were the largest
since 1907.

BURBANK AND COST OF LIVING
New Burbank Spineless Cactus Is the
solution.

Luther Burbank is Duncan f. Me-
Kinlay's solution of the high cost of
living.
"All the economists agree" he
said that the chief item is the high
price of meats. And they all agree
that meats are high because the west
ern range is gone-because the great
plains that used TO grow cattle and
sheep cheaply are now turned into
farms.
Burbank has taken cactus-that
prickly curse of the plains that used
to grow spikes from one to three
inches long-and made it so smooth
that you can rub your face with it
as you would with a glove. And that
is where its value comes in. Every
ounce of that cactus is just as good
for cattle, sheep, hogs and chickens
as alfalfa.
Now, cactus grows naturally all
over the southwestern states. 1t
grows in sand, and takes its susten-
ance from the air. There are 2.5OO.-
000 acres of land in the inter-moun-
tain states owned by the government
that will grow that cactus naturally,
without cultivation-and three bill
lion acres of desert in the world.
This is what / saw at Burbank's
place week ago last Sunday: One
single acre on whicn there were o.
O56 tons of that cactus. and the plants
were but three years old. Think og
where the price of cattle and sheep
would go if that much alfalfa could
be raised to an acre.
Think of the millions of acres
that are now waste, producing that
cactus instead of the impossible,
prickly stuff that they now grow wild.
1 tell you there is the solution of the
cost Of living. Burbank has furnish
ed it,"

DEMOCRATS FIGHTING
FOR PURE FOOD LAWS

Dr. Harvey W. Wiley declares the
most important campaign document
yet issued by the democratic nation
al committee is booklet prepared
Marshal Organization. 1t d scloses
for the womans national Wilson and
some new and startling facts in con-
nection with the long fight for pure
food. 1t shows how the efforts of
the bureau Of pure food We're blocked
by the administrations of both Roose-
welt ana Taft. These booklets are
going to be distributed this year
throughout the country by the demo-
cratic national committee.
In the booklet, Mrs. Borden Harri-
man, president of the national or
ganization. makes strong appeal to
the women of the country in which
she says:
NO subject is more vital to Voc
men than health in the home. No
function is so essentially the woman's
function as the protection Of the food
supply, the protection of sanitary and
hygienic working conditions and the
general conservation of human life.
therefore appeal to the patriotic
women of America for their active
partic patton in the present great
fight which is being waged by the
Wilson and Marshall campaign in be-
half of these measures
The General Federation of Wo-
mems clubs at the biennial conference
held June 26-July 6, declared "the
administration of the department of
agriculture has been and is such that
at present the law is prostituted for
the benefit of the SPECIAL interests and
tn, welfare of the people is ignored
ana adopted resolution calling up
en- the president to $50 organize the
department that tho food and drug
act shall in the future be honestly ad
ministered in the interest of the con-
sumers of the nation"
The operations of the invisible
government" in permitting the adul-
terators of foods to go unprosecuted
and thus protecting the interests, is
reviewed. and the situation is sum-
med up as follows:
The law as passed by congress was
intended to be Administered in the
interest of the consumer. The law
as modified by the executive orders
of President Taft and President
Roosevelt is devoted almost exclu-
sively to the protection of the pock-
etbook of the producer, showing the
triumph of mercenary interests over
the welfare of the public"

of big league clubs Rumor has 1t that the men whose successors arc being looked for are Hughey Jennings of De- troit Frank Chance of Chicago, Harry Wolverton of the New York Americans, Bill Dahien of Brooklyn, Johnny King of Boston Americans and Harry Davis of Cleveland. Chance is to go according to the stories because of i'll health, Jennings because Of his mix-up in the recent strike and the others because they failed to show winning teams. or course all these men may not be let out, but that some of them will be seems certain.
 Every year the fact that the success of team depends almost as much upon the manager as upon the players is com ing to be more fully recognized. Right or wrong, the public is inclined to believe that McGraw and Chance and Clark. and Jennings and Mack have had fully as much to do with the winning of pennants as Mathewscn.

LYONS ANSWERS
 PRESIDENT TAFT

Sherman, Tex. August 3.--Col Cecil A. Lyon, chairman of the state repub- lican executive committee, today made public a reply to the special state- ment from the White House which de- tended President Tafts nomination.
 The Lyon statement deals with the selection of Texas delegates to the national convention. Opening his state- ment, Lyon says:
 Respect for your high office pre- cludes such an answer to your state ment on the merits of the Chicago con- tests as would be made by me to any other citizen Of the United States
 "Referring to the Texas cases. will say that your statement of the num- Der Of counties in Texas Is correct, but practically the entire statement of facts concerning the Texas cases Is in- correct'
 Colonel Lyon denies that he has been in the habit of controlling the repuh- licnn state convention by securing from two federal officeholders in 99 Texas counties 5 certificate granting proxy to Colonel Lyon, or friend of his. to represent the county as If regu- larlys conferred by a regular republican county convention.
 Colonel Lyon then takes up each contested district discussing the con- tests in them.
