Vast Coal Reserve. .

The known coal fields OF the United
States embrace q total area, according TO
the United States geological survey, OF
SIC, ,296 square miles, to which may be
added something over 160, 900 square miles
OF which little is known, but which may
contain workable Goals, and about 1900
square miles where the coal lies under
heavy cover and is not considered avail
able under present conditions.
The supply of coal before mining began
Is estimated to have been 3,076, ,204 ,000, 900
short tons, OF which 1 1,922, ,979, 900 600 tons
were considered to be easily accessible
and /, ,153, ,225 ,0O0, 900 short tons to be either
so deep or the beds so thin that they are
accessible only with difficulty. Classified
according to the character of the coal, the
original supply consisted of q 900, 900, 900
short tons Of anthracite, / 1851, ,457, ,000, 900
tons of bituminous coal, $50, ,157, ,00o, 900
tons OF subbituminous coal, and 743, $50, :
0oo, 600 tons OF Ignite, the supply OF
bituminous coal being something more
than that of all other grades combined.
The total production OF coal to the close
Of 1911 has amounted to 2,270, ,79S, ,737 short
tons OF anthracite and 6,46s, ia, 500 tons oi
bituminous coal, or an aggregate OF s, ,739,
572, ,427 tons. This total production to the
close of 1911 represents, including the
waste OF mining, an exhaustion Of the beds
equal to Il, ,1s1 ,sso, 900 short tons, or some
what less than 0.5 per cent. of the original
supply. In other words, the quantity Of
coal still remaining to be mined amounts
to sos, ,0g2 ,020 900 short tons, or a little
more than s9.5 per cent. of the original
supply.
The annual rate OF exhaustion at the
present time as represented by the pro-
duction in 1910 and 1911 is 0.025 per cent
OF the supply. The quantity Of coal still
in the ground at the close Of 1910 wa.
5000 times the production OF that year, or
estimating half ton of coal lost for every
ton recovered, the supply is equivalent tc
1900 times the present annual rate Of
exhaustion.

In recent issue of Farm and Freside
appeared an interesting article entitled: sis
There an Egg Type in the Domestic
Fowl?" Following is an extract:
''Some years ago one Of the best known
poultrymen in America, a veteran Of
many years. experience, was a visitor at
the Maine agricultural experiment station.
In going over the pens, one bird struck
his eye as OF outstanding merit as q layer.
In his words, she represented the ideal,
the highest expression of the egg type.
He demonstrated to an attending group
of students the several points of body con-
formation which proved that this bird was
one of the worlds great layers.
''Sad it was, but true, that at the end OF
her years work, this paragon OF pro-
ducers, though having always enjoyed
the best OF health and vigor, was found by
examination OF her trap-nest record to
have produced the magnificent total OF
twenty-eight eggs in year!
$50 far as we now know, there is no one
external character, nor any group OF such
characters, which will enable one to say
with any certainty, beforehand, that one
bird will make high producer and an
other low producer. One can tell that a
bird is going to lay, that she is laying,
and that she has laid, but farther than
this it is not possible to go, at least SO far
as any biological evidence now available
regarding the functioning OF the ovary
indicates. There is no real, definite,
critical evidence of the existence OF such a
thing as an egg type.

HOW TO RESIST
Chronic Coughs and Colds.

Chronic Coughs and Colds.
Strong, vigorous men and women
hardly ever catch cold; it's only when
the system is run down and vitality
low that colds and coughs get q foot
hold.
Now isn't It reasonable that the
right way to cure a cough is to build
up your strength again?
Mrs. Olivia Parham, of East Dur
ham. N. c., says: Il took vinol for q
chronic cough which had lasted two
years. and the cough not only disap-
peared, but 1t built up my strength
as we'll"
The reason vinol is so efiicacious in
such cases Is because Ii contains In q
delicious concentrated form all the
medicinal curative elements of cod
liver oil, with tonic, bodybuilding
iron added.
Chronic coughs and colds yield to
vinol because it builds up the weak
ened, rundown system.
You can get your money back any
time II vinol does not do all we say.
