THURSDAY, NOV. 81, 1912.

The Bureau of Mines at Washington
in a statement Just given out expresses
the belief that there will be decrease
in coal mining fatalities in the United
States in the present year as compared
with 1911.
According to figures compiled by the
bureau ,453 were killed in and about
coal mines during the first eight
months of this year. These figures
show that unless there shall be an un-
usual number of disasters in the latter
part of 1912 the mortality list will be
far below that of 1911, when nearly
5000 fatalities were reported.
The further gratifying information
is given that the past five years have
shown a steady decrease in the fatality
rates in the coal mining industry. The
number of men employed in mines is
increasing, Of course, with the eXpan-
sion of the industry, therefore the gain
for safe and sane mining is substantial.
Coal mining is hazardous occupa-
ton and it is more so in the United
States than elsewhere, for in this coun-
try we are wasteful of human life,
as we are of many other things. Bar
ring the ever-present risk Of accident
the coal miners chances of long life
are about as good as anybody's else.
tied States his vocation, dreary enough
at best, should no. be extra hazardous.
There have been many distressingmi
disasters in the past and progress in
the direction of safer mining is some
thing for which the country may be
thankful.

Sport of Collar Spottinq.

collar spotting," the new automo-

dies of water. When the broadly

of water is thrown upward and out.
ward, the path it takes being deter.
mined by the speed of the machine,
the depth of the liquid and, to Ger,
tain extent, its consistency. These
three factors make the aiming Of the
sheet a matter of great skill. When
the puddle is close to the curb it is
possible for the expert spotter, by
swerving into it, to throw the sheet
in such a way as to hit a mans coll
iar-eveD when it's narrow one
or the white feathers on a woman's
hat. Not every one is as expert as
this, but the great fun of the sport
lies in the fact that even when you
miss your aim you're pretty sure to
hit something, If it's only skirts or
trousers of pedestrians.

METHODS or INDUCING SLEEP
Relaxation of the Mind ar5 Muscles
IL the Principal Thing t. Keep
in Mind.

How to get to sleep, when every de.
vice fails and one feels desperate, II
matter worth solving, especially II
there be simple methods that can be
tried.
A well.known lecturer on hygiene,
whom a very sleepless woman con-
suited on the Subject of bad nights.
gave her valuable advice, the efficacy
of which she has proved.
"Stretch out your limbs to the full
length, with the arms rather close to
the sides of the body, and straight
down." said he, "or If that is not COM
Portable, In any downward fashion,
Sometimes you may find it for the
moment restful to clasp the arms
above the head, but on no account
give way to the habit of doing so, for
this position drives away the blood
from the heart and sends it to the
head, causing uneasy dreams, and
therefore restlessness, and may even
prevent sleep altogether.
Gently close your mouth and
breathe through your uuse' luiS 10
highly important Then let all the
muscles of the face and neck be re-
Taxed, and all muscles of the body,
too"
Women of mature age should be as
careful as girls to see that they sleep
with the mouth shut, for this habit
combats a tendency, growing with the
years, to drop or protrude the jaw as
the face is settling to sleep. A closed
mouth and relaxed muscles help to
keep you young looking.
Above all, sleep on your right side.
Wonderful for inducing sleep is a
cup OF hot milk slipped slowly in bed
the very last thing.
