ECORD YEAR
IN HARD COAL
Total Shipments Of Anthra-
cite Near 65,OO0,OO0 Tons

All previous records for the pro-
luction Of coal in the United States
we're beaten In 1912, il both hard
and soft coal be taken into account.
But the production of hard coal
alone fell below that of many previ-
u years.
The figures for the month of De-
cember are not yet available, but,
ments were the same as in December
of last year, the total shipments of
anthracite for the year 1912 amount
ed to 63,7S1,503 tons. This is a
smaller tonnage than for any year
III the last six except 1903, when
the shipments were ~61,969,SS5 tons.
If the quantity sold to local trade
and employees be put at 8 per cent.
of the Shipments proportion that
has held, approximately, in recent
years-then the total marketable
output of anthracite in 1912 was
65,694,94S tons, as compared with
10000, 900 tons in 1911. This does
not include the coal used in the
operation of the mines themselves.
The suspension of work for about
seven weeks last Spring was the
cause OF the falling off in production.
The idleness of the mines during
this period meant a loss of about
100000 tons. But after the sus-
pension the mines were operated on
a full time basis in the attempt to
make up some of the loss, with the
result that the deficit of 1900, 0O0
tons, as compared with 1911, was
brought down to about $780, 900.
A result of the suspension and of
the severe weather Of last Spring,
which exhausted the surplus stocks
OF coal, was that the supply a not
equal to the demand In the Summer
and Fall. Though the large compa-
MES continued to sell at their circu'

How to Have the Rest Cough
Syrup and Save 81, b,
Making 1t at Home.

Cough medicines, as a rule, contain a
large quantity of plain syrup. If you
take one pint of graduated sugar, add
" pint of warm water and stir about
2 minutes, you have as good syrup as
money could buy.
If you will then put 2h ounces of
Pinex $50 cents WORTHY in a pint bottle,
and fill it up with the Sugar Syrup, you
will have as much cough syrup as YOU
could buy ready made for $3.50. 1t
keeps perfectly.
And you will find it the best cough
syrup you ever used-cvcn in whooping
cough. You can feel it take holG-usu-
ally stops the most severe cough in "a
hours. 1t is Just laxative enough, has O.
good tonic effect, and taste is pleasant.
Take a teaspoonful every one, two or
three hours.
1t is a splendid remedy, too, for
whooping cough, Group, hoarseness, asth-
ma, chest pains, etc.
Pinex is the most valuable c~oncentra-
ted compound of Norway white pine ex-
tract, rich in guaiacol and all the heal
ing pine elements. No other prepara-
ton will work in this formula.
This recipe for making cough remedy
with Pinex and Sugar Syrup is now
used and priced in thousands of homes

plan has often been initiated but never
successfully.
A guaranty of absolute satisfaction, or
money promptly refunded, goes with this
recipe. Your druggist has Pine1, or will

INVESTIGATES
MANS DEATH
Coroner and Police Probe
Cause of Suicide.

Coroner William H. Jackson and
the police of the E~ighty-frst precinct
station Of the borough OF Richmond,
are making al investigation in re-
gard to the death Of John Dillon,
twenty-eight years old, a printer m
ployed at the American Linoleum
Works at Linoleumville, who COM
mitted suicide at his home on Tues
day night, New Years eve. Dillon
shot himself in the head in the pres
n of his wife and two small chill
dren at his home at 1854 Richmond
Turnpike, Port Richmond. What
prompted Dillon, who appeared to
be In good health and prosperous
circumstances, to end his life, 1t was
reported, were threats made by arm
ed gangsters Of the North shore Of
the island to do him bodily harm.
Dillon, 1t is said, had some trouble
with them several weeks ago. Ever
since the threats Mrs. Dillon said
her husband had never been himself.
He worried constantly and brooded
over his trouble. Coroner Jackson,
who was notified after the shooting,
gave a permit for the burial.
