WOMAN'S SOCIETY I'M
MEETING TUESDAY

The Woman's Society Of Central
Union Church met at the Church par
lors Tuesday morning at eleven
o'clock The meeting was opened 3;
the President, Mrs. Frank c. Ather
ton. The devotional part OF the morn
ing was conducted by Mrs. w. A.
Bowen, who read from Matthew and
John and then offered prayer.
The minutes of the last quarterly
meeting were then read by Miss Bene-
dict. The treasurer read report. A
report was heard also from Mrs. Hem
ry Williams, who is a delegate from
the Woman's Society to the Associat-
ed Charities. Mrs. Williams asked
that $500, the annual membership fee
be contributed by the Woman's Socie-
ty as the Association is in need OF
the money, It was voted that the
membership fee be paid,
Another interesting report was that
of the Educational branch of the Wo-
mans Eociety Each year the sum Of
five hundred dollars is placed IN the
hands of this committee for the pur.
pose of aiding girls whose home sur
roundings are not pleasant. These
girls are removed from undesirable
districts and placed in the Kawaiahao
Seminary. Teachers there say that in
every case the girls prove to be bright
and intelligent and give promise Of be-
coming splendid women. At the con-
clusion of the report DR.. Scudder adj
dressed the ladies and told of one
special case where girl had been
placed in the Seminary. The young
woman's parents cared nothing about
her welfare and had her bringing up
been left to them she would never
have had an opportunity to make any
thing o her self. She Is now doing
well, however, and gives promise OF
becoming a powerful woman.
Mrs. Elizabeth Warehouse then
spoke of the need in this city for q
home for children who are deficient
mentally. She cited two cases where
girls who are unable to learn have
been allowed to drift into deplorable
conditions by their parents. She said
that these two came under her per-
sonal observation and that she had no
drought that similar cases are known
by others. The Woman's Society took
no action in this for they seemed to
feel that with such short notice moth
ing definite could be done.
The most important business func-
ton conducted was the discussion OF
the removal of one article from the
by laws and amending of another.
These articles referred to the quarter
ly meetings of the Woman's Society.
Last year there were very few at
tendents at the regular quarterly
meetings previous to, the time of the
introduction of the basket lunch. The
executive committee therefore thought
that it might be wise to eliminate
the morning meetings and conduct the
business at the afternoon socials.
There was some discessuion and 1t
was finally decided that no change be
made, as many new. Corners take adj
vantage of the little social hour to be-
come acquainted with the church
members * ...r.
At twelve O'Clock the meeting was
adjourned and basket lunch was
served in the Parish House.

You old people, Syrup of Figs is
particularly for you. You who don't
exercise as much as you need to; who
like the easy chair. You, whose steps
are slow and whose muscles are less
elastic. You must realize that your
liver and ten yards of bowels have also
become less active.
Don't regard Syrup of Figs as
physic. 1t stimulates the liver and
bowels just as exercise would do if
you took enough of it. 1t is not harsh
like salts or cathartics. The help
which Syrup of Figs gives to a torpid
liver and weak sluggish bowels is
harmless, natural and gentle.
When eyes grow dim, you help
them. Do the same with your liver
and bowels when age makes them less
active. There is nothing more impor-
tant. Costive. clogged-up bowels mean
that decaying, fermenting food is
clogged there and the pores or ducts

SAVE BY WASHING COAL.
Washed Fuel Worth 1919 % More Than
Dirty Coal.

University of Kansas, Sept. 10
Perfection of a system of washing
coal to remove foreign substances
which will mean an annual saving of
$4,000 to the state mine alone was an
nounced today by Prof. G. M. Young
of the mining engineering department.
Experiments carried on over
period of six months showed that oy
crushing the coal and removing 20
per cent of the refuse, SO per cent of
the sulphur and so per cent of the ash
were carried away, while 80 per cent
of the fuel value of the coal remained.
L feel quite confident that when
working on a large scale we could save
more than this 80 per cent of the fuel
value" declared Prof. Young. By
using our method, a ton of washed
coal would be worth II u per cent
more than ton of unwaShed coal. 90
illustrate how economical this plan
would prove, the saving In freight
and haulage on the 1000 tons that the
University of Kansas uses during the
year would be 77S tons at $1-05 or
$4,000. Additional saving in break
ing coal, removing ash and economy
in repairs will bring this total up to
$1,000
THE total amount shipped from the
Lansing mine is about $1,000 tons
which would make the annual saving
at least $4,000. The cost of install
ling a washing plant would approx
mate $3.50 so that the Improvement
would soon pay for itself.
The process for the coal-washing
used by the university expert is based
on the fact that pyrite and shale, be-
ing heavier than coal, will fall faster
through water than the coal. The coal
is collected in bin while the refuse
is allowed to run out into the dump.

year more trees have been planted, I'M
til there are now 1900 trees, mostly
locust, growing on the town site. They
are cultivated several times each year.
With the exception of a year or so
Mr.. Heiney has had charge of the trec
planting industry, and has personally
planted most of them. He is one of
the progressive citizens and business
men of Grainfield and served six
years as mayor.
Grainfield has four miles of cement
walks. four feet wide.
George S. Dryer has been city treas
urer of Grainf1eld for 20 years. Mr.

best known hotels in northwestern

San Bernardino, Cal, Sept 1S.-Al-
though the Ell Paso & SouthW esreren
extension will be completed 1nto
Tucson within sixteen days, IT IS not
believed the line can be finished into
Phoenix by November /, the date -on
which the Rock Island. origin ally pa q
MANNED to enter into its new trsfnc
ARRANGEMENT with the Santa sFe for
running trains into San BernardinO.
The road will be pushed as rapidly as
possible and when completed INTO

will reach San Bernardino via the
Santa Fe instead of the Southern "a
cific.
tinue from Benson, which is tapped by
a spur line, now the terminus Tor the
Ell Paso & Southwestern trains west
from Ell Paso. Instead, the line runs
from Land ten miles of Fairbank,
crossing the Southern Pacific twice be-
tween Fairbank and Tucson, and en-
tering Tucson south OF the southern
Pacific station.
New Arrangement in West.
Railroad men are reticent as to the
policy of the Rock Island regarding its
California extension Arrangements
are said to be completed with the
Santa Fe respecting the operation OF
the Rock Island trains via Vickenburg
and Parker into San Bernardino COW
ering a period regarded by Rock
Island officials as necessary to build
that road through to the coast.
Men familiar with the situation say
the Rock Island is likely to take the
survey north of the Salton sea region
and through the new untapped mining
and ranch country between Beaumont
and the HasSayampa. The policy OF
the Rock Island management favors
invading mining country. In the
southwest it is already known as
mineral road, and by building between
Phoenix and San Bernardino consider
ably south of the Santa Fe's Parker
cutoff and north of the Southern Pa
cific the Rock Island will have its own
territory in that region and yet have
a direct coast line.

HARAHAN HEADS sEABoARD AIR
Henry Miller of Wabash Turned Down
Directors Offer.


St. Louis, Sept. 1s.-The presidency OF
the Seaboard Air Line will be accept
ed by w. ]. Harahan, at present vice
president of the Erie Mr.. Harahan is
son of the late J. T. Harahan, for
many years president of the Illinois
Central, succeeding Stuyvesant Fish.
When the directors Of the Seaboard
meet in New York in a few days the
election of Mr.. Harahan will be an
nounced. He has made an inspection
trip over the property and will assume
charge at an early date. The operat-
ing headquarters are at Portsmouth.
Va. W. S. Meldrum, who is now filling
the Office of president, desires to be
relieved as soon as possible.
The Seaboard Air Line presidency
was at one time filed by w. A. Gar
rete, chairman of the General Mana
gers association of Chicago and chair
man of the Association of Western
Railroads. Mr.. Garrett in his earlier
career was general superintendent OF
the st. Louis Terminal and superin-
tendent of the Wabash. The chief own
ers of the Seaboard for some time past
have been anxious to secure the ser
vices of a high-grade operating execu-
tive as president, and it is known
that the position was rendered Gen
eral Manager Henry Miller of the Wa
bash, but he declined it on the ground
that he did not desire to leave st.
Louis. The offer was very attractive,
but the Wabash manager nevertheless
would not consider it. He was like
wise offered the presidency of the Nor
folk & Southern and he turned that
proposition down on the same ground
Three years ago President Willard of
the Baltimore and Ohio offered Mr..
Miller the operating vice presidency of
that system at a very high salary.

NO CHANGE ON HARTMAN LINES
Judge IOvett Denies Operation Dis
solution of Parallel Roads.

New York, Sept. 1s.-Judge r. S.
Lovett, chairman of the Hartman rail-
roads boards, returned to his office
here after a trip through the west
that began on August 9. He came
back greatly impressed with what he
had seen and enthusiastic over bust
ness and the crops.
Il have never known crop conditions
in the west to be better he said. Il
don't see how they could be better.
Business is for that reason unusually
fine and the outlook excellent"
Judge Lovett denied a report that the
Hartman lines had changed their sys-
tenn of operation, departing from the
Hartman traditions, in order to be in
safe position if the supreme court
rendered an adverse decision in the
Union Pacific-Southern Pacific merger
suit. They had made no changes, he
said since last October. I'VE don't
expect to lose the CASE he added.

Place of Man-Power.

New York, Sept. 1s.-Adoption of
motor cars for track work in place of
the Old-fashioned man-power handcar
has been decided upon by the manage
ment of the Lehigh Valley railroad.
Forty-seven of the new cars, the first
installment, have been ordered, and the
substitution will eventually be applied
to the whole Lehigh Valley system.
A considerable saving in time will be
effected, as well as saving of energy
of the men for track work. The motor
