All women get bilious, headachy and
constipated-simply because they don't
exercise enough. They don't eat coarse
food, or enough fruit and green vegeta-
bles. Those are natures ways of keep
ing the liver and thirty feet of bowels
active; but very few women employ
them. The next best way is delightful,
fruity Syrup of Figs.
Nearly all ills of women can be over
come with Syrup of Figs alone. There is no
need to have sick headache, backache,
dizziness, stomach sour and full of gases,
bilious spells, sallowncss, coated tongue,
bad breath, bad complexion, nervousness
and depression. The surest and safest
remedy is one or two teaspoonfuls of de-
licious Syrup of Figs. Try this tonight

FOSSILS AID TO COAL pRospEcToR
Description by the United States Geolog-
ical Survey Of the Grand Mesa Coal
Field, Colorado.

Grand Mesa, Colorado, is a great coal.
bearing table land rising about q mile
above the general level of the country
which lies TO the south and west. The
West Elk mountains, nearby, group
of peaks composed OF igneous rock, rise
to attitudes of over $4,000 feet above
sea level, and together with Grand Mesa,
form some of the most sublime and inn
pressive scenery to be found in America.
Much interest attaches TO these noun
tains because of their mode OF origin
and because of their influence on the at
titude OF the coal beds and on the quail
ity of the coal. Although now far above
sea level, this area was beneath the
ocean for a long time in the Cretaceous
period. many thousands of years before
the advent of the first man. The sea
was finally filled with sediments and
great swamps were formed, in which
vegetable matter accumulated as it is
accumulating now in Dismal swamp.
The character of the plants such as the
figs and the palms, whose fossil remains
are now found in the rocks, indicates
that the climate of that time was about
the same as the present climate OF
Florida or Louisiana, These beds of
partly decayed vegetable matter were
later covered by sand and mud and
turned to coal. Still later these low
lying beds were thrust so far above
sea level and great masses of molten
rock rose from the earth's interior, some
of them reaching the surface to form
great volcanoes, while Others found lodg-
ment within the sediments and there
consolidated into great masses of resist
ant rock many. thousands of feet thick.
These masses thai did not reach the
surface are known as laccoliths.
Some of the sedimentary rocks con-
tanning the coal beds We're bowed up
over the laccoliths and Others lie beneath
them. The softer rocks near the sur
face have since been eroded away and
the laccoliths now stand as great masses
Of igneous rock, some of which are of
proportions and beautifully
symmetrical in outline; Others are carved |
by erosion into picturesque and fantastic
forms. The disturbance Of the sedi-
mentary rocks and the heat from the |
molten rock that was intruded into them |
caused changes in the guanty OF the coal !
that are of great economic Importance,
some of it being transformed to an an
thracite comparable to that OF Pennsyl-
Yania

Fossil Animals and Plants identity the
Goals.

A successful attempt is made in this
bulletin to present technical data that
are often regarded as useful only to the
professional geologist in such way that
they can be used by man who has no
geologic training and who is interested
mainly in knowing where coal is to be
expected at given locality. The rock
formations are described, their appear
anee is illustrated by reproductions of
photographs, and their outlines are
mapped SO that the coal bearing rocks
can be readily recognized on the ground.
Many sections showing the positions of
the beds one above another, measured
where the rocks are well exposed, indi
cate the horizons at which the several
coal beds may be found. For example,
conspicuous rock known locally as the
basal or Rollins sandstone is easily rec
ognized and may always be found lit
tie below the best Goals.
The fossils that occur at the several
horizons are named in these sections,
and in order that this information may
be used in practical way by men inter
ested mainly in prospecting for the coal,
of some of the more COM
mon ones are given. In the greater
part of the region the presence of GER
tain fossils indicates high grade coal and
the presence of certain Others indicates
low grade coal. For example, if the
prospector finds an oyster she'll like the
one figured in this bulletin, in rocks
near a coal bed, or a corbula which is
likely to be found in shale just above
a coal bed, he may be reasonably sure
that his coal viii prove to be bituminous |
of relatively high grade. But if he
finds in an area of undisturbed rocks |

(Tulotoma and Campelomal or fossil
leaves. which can be easily recognized by I
them with the PICTURES here
given. he may be reasonably certain that |
his coal is of relatively low grade and
will slack on exposure to the air. How

for in such areas the Goals

Report by the United States Geological
Survey.

An interesting description of this area
is found in bulletin ~, by Willis T..
Lee, just issued by the United States
geological survey. The hrst part of the
bulletin establishes the geologic rela-
tons of the coa!.hearing rocks, but the
principal part is devoted to a descrip-
ton of the coal beds, their number, oc-
currence, thickness, etc. The quality
of the coal at the several localities de-
scribed is indicated by descriptions of
their physical character and by chemical
analyses Great variations occur in the
quality. the coal varying from subbitu
minous and bituminous to anthracite.
The largest producing mines are locat-
ed at Floresta, where anthracite is
mined; at Crested Butte, where eoking
bituminous coal is produced; and at
Mount Carbon and Somerset, where the
coal 10 noncoking and bituminous. Sew
eral small mines are operating in the

product is used for local consumption.
1t is estimated that this region con-
tains more than 10000, 100000 tons of
coal in beds that are thick enough to be
of commercial value.

One might conclude that o poi

purpose of controlling the first

Eastman Apple New Variety

The Eastman apple, now being culti-
waited in the Upper Mississippi valley,
was planted and developed for the Pc
culiar needs of that region which is
characterized by long, dry, cold win
ters. It has proved to be remarka-
bly, early, regular and prolific bearer.
As the business aspects of fruit
growing receive more definite recogni-
tion, varieties will be planted more
and more to meet particular conditions,
and for special rather than for general
purposes, says the Agricultural De-
partment year book in discussing some
promising new fruits.
For instance, under present condi.
tions one of the most important re-
quirements of winter apple in many
sections is that it have good cold stor-
age qualities. Summer apples were
for long period minor commercial
consideration. but for the past ten or
fifteen years an important demand for
them has developed in the eastern mar
kets. which has greatly stimulated the
planting of early apple varieties in
many sections where formerly they
were little valued.
