ANTHRACITE COAL
ROADS FACE PROBE
Commerce Commission TO In.
v2stigate Rates.

Philadelphia, Nov ia sweeping
investigation into the rates and prac'
tees of the anthracite coal roads lead
ing into Philadelphia was begun in
this city today by the interstate com.
merce commission.
Commiss oner John H. Marble is
presiding and S. II. Smith and j. ].
Hickey, attorneys for the commission,
are conducting the examination. The
railroads are represented by Walker
D. Hines, of New York, a prominent
railroad lawyer; Jackson E. Reynolds,
attorney for the Central Railroad OF
New Jersey. and Herbert A. Taylor, OF
the Erie.
The investigation has been under
taken to determine whether there have
been any violations by the carriers of
the interstate commerce laws in con-
nection with the transportation of an
thracite coal.
Also it will be asked whether the
roads have observed the spirit of the
recent commodities clause" decision,
which held that railroads could rot
transport commodities produced by
themselves-in the case of coal.
The question of the reasonableness
of the present freight rates on coal
and whether the carriers discriminate
against the independent shippers will
comprise an important part OF the in
quiry. This will incolve an investiga-
ton into the relations between the
L. in, Wi N
possible discrimination, any concerted
policy exists among them.

Ithaca, N. Y, Nov. 17.-An anouy-
nous gift of s4.3500O0 to the Cornell
university medical school in New York
city was announced by President ia
cob Gould Schurman, of Cornell uni
versity.
DR.. Schurman said he was not at
liberty to disclose the name Of the
donor and that no official announce
ment of it will be forthcoming. On &C
count of his magnificent generosity to
the Cornell medical school in the past,
however, it is generally believed that
the man who made this gift to the
medical school is Colonel Oliver
Payne, of New York city.
The gift was actually made to Presi
dent Schurman in New York city la It
Friday, but no announcement of it was
forthcoming until Sunday. The sum
will insure the medical school yearly
income of about 100000. None of the
money is to be used for buildings, but
will be devoted to paying the annual
running expenses of the college. 1t
will be uAed entirely On the medical
school in New York city, none of it
going to the Ithaca branch of the medi
cal departm ent.

Keeping In the Heat.

You speak incorrectly when you say
that your fur coat is warm. There is
no heat in the fur coat at all, but it
keeps you warm because it prevents
the heat of your body from passing off
into the cold air. The Bible says that
God "giveth snow like WOOL" because
snow is a poor conductor of heat, just
like wool. and protects the seeds of
fruits and vegetables in the soil in win
ter just as wool protects your bodily
heat. A saucepan which has been used
will bring the water to boil more
quickly than new one because the
bottom being covered with SCOT it alb
serbs heat more quickly than highly
polished new surface. The cook pol
ishes the lids of kettles because, when
bright, they do not draw the heat and
In this way keep the contents warm
longer than if dull.-New York World.

Don't Worry,

"Don't worry" was the recipe for
long life recently given by an aged
physician who had preserved his youth.
Good advice. but impractical" you
say. But did you ever give it real
trial? A person can't stop worrying
merely by aging. Go to. now; l am
not going to worry any more" The
more he thinks about stopping the
more impossible it is to stop.
There is way. though. Don't con-
sciously try to stop worrying, but get
interested in something else.
If you have something to worry
about and give yourself the opportu-
nifty you will do lot of worrying. But
If you keep busy you won't give worry
a chance. When a great, sorrow comes
a person may simply abandon him
self to it by letting his other interests
lag. But by looking about for some
thing to absorb his attention he can
put himself in wholesome frame of
mind.
Worry can be fought the same way.

He said the whipping post was the
fundamental punishment for crime to

will continue to be so far as he Is per-

their own free will decree otherwise.
Governor Miller personally favors
the whipping post. He considers it
one of the most effective barriers to
