BIG CHANGE COMING IN THE COAL TRADE
New York Hears That When Warships Can be Moved Through Canal Mexican Policy May be
 Different
By HOLLAND

New York March 9-tSpecial.) 1.-Two new features associated with the speedy opening of the Panama canal to naviga- ton are discussed in business circles here-one of them especially in banking circles. One is entirely a commercial fea- ture and the other a national and political feature in the highest sense of tha tword. Information has reached this city that English capital is now attempting to se- cure leases running for a long time or if necessary, purchases of many valuable coal properties in West Virginia, princi- pally in the central part of the state. The inference Is that English capital has In view the opportunities which the opening of the Panama canal will furnish to those who mine coal and ship it to foreign mar kets
 Presumably the English capitalists have in mind the coal trade which they now control in South America and other ports upon the Pacific. They have been in the past the principal shippers of coal to these ports. Presumably it is their purpose, should they secure these coal lands, to haul the coal from West Virginia either to Baltimore or else to Norfolk, whence it can be shipped by way of the Panama ca nal direct to South American ports and other ports upon the Pacific coast. If this surmise be correct, then it is as- sumed that statements which were made a year or so ago by English coal shippers in which they intimated that they did not see how the opening of the Panama canal to navigation would affect their trade one way or another must now be greatly modified. Apparently they are persuaded that tn eopening of the canal may affect their trade unfavorably unless they take means to prevent loss of that trade.
 Today coal mined in West Virginia and shipped to the Atlantic seaboard is mar keted in South America, no small part of the market being found upon the Pa cific coast of that country. The American shippers of coal are convinced that as the canal will shorten this journey by a little less than one-half, it cannot fail to be of great benefit to the American coal interests which contemplate estab- fishing large markets upon the Pacific coast.
 A Great Change Possible
 It may be that the opening of the Pan- anna canal will revolutionize the coal marketing industry of the world. Ever since the great colleries in Wales have been worked practically to their yearly capacity this coal has commanded the yorlds markets. The presumption has been that the Welsh coal is better than any other, and therefore generates greater energy at less cost than any other coal. Recently. however, this view has

If you have any skin trouble, you want Resinol. You want it because you have known about it for years, because your friends and neighbors have used it success fully, and because you know that physicians have prescribed it for nineteen years in the treatment of eczema, rashes, ringworm, pimples and other distressing eruptions.
 You do not want "substitute' or some thing that dealer tells you is ''just as good as Resinol." You do not want it because you know nothing of its value. It has nobody's endorsement and for all you can tell it never did anyone any good at all.

This is why they do it

When a clerk tries to make you take a ''substitute" for Reanol. or any other standard article, don't blame him, blame his employer. The clerk probably would rather sell you the genuine Resinol, be- cause he knows even better than you that doctors pre- scribe it and that it does heal skin troubles. Also, it is easier to give you what you want than to argue you into buy ing something you DON'T want.
 But because some cheaply- made imitation pays a few cents more profit, an unscru- pulous dealer here and there gives hisclerkss commission if they can forceyou tobuy itin- stead of real Resinol. Heover- looks the fact that the imita- tion may do you more harm than good or perhaps he just doesn't care. aslong as he gets your money. How do you feel about it? Almost every town has its ''substituter," look out for him.

An Experts Opinion

F. E. Seward who is esteemed the fore most American authority upon coal pro- duction and trade. is convinced that the building of the Panama canal will greatly increase the coal mining industry of the United States. He says that the govern ment coaling stations at Christobal and at Balboa will be completed late in the fall of this year. He is also of the opinion that the navigation of the Panama canal by coal carrying vessels will make it possible to operate the coal mines of West Virginia for at least two-thirds of the year. Furthermore, the marketing of coal upon the Pacific slope will bring back to the United States a great deal of money and is sure to stimulate for eign trade in other commodities than coal
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-03-10

changed somewhat, so that now the be- lief is general that some of the coal mined in West Virginia is fully equal to the Welsh coal.
 Those who use coal in large amounts for steaming purposes are now satisfied that no other coal Is mined which is as good for that purpose as is that obtained in West Virginia and in Wales.
 Therefore the mines of West Virginia and of Wales must continue to supply the markets of the world and, presum- ably, if there can be great saving of time and distance in case the West Vir- ginia coal is used and the Panama canal sutilized then this coal will be in po- sition successfully to compete with Welsh coal. This is presumed to be the reason why English capital is now seeking in vestment on a very large scale in coal properties in West Virginia.

Preventing Spread
Of Hog Cholera

Farmers whose hogs are afflicted
with cholera are under moral obliga-
ton to prevent the spread OF the dis
ease. says DR.. Lipp, veterinarian
at South Dakota state college. He
says: 1T is a frequently quoted
truth that we are our brothers keep
ers. This applies with especial EN-.
phasis to the control of hog cholera.
II a farmer has cholera In his herd
he will be his brothers keeper il he
will prevent by every means possible
the spread Of the disease to his
neighbors' herds. He will warn his
|neighbors of the presence Of the dis
lease and the dangers attending his
visit to the infected yard. He will
guard against the spread Of the dis
ease by dogs. In fact he will do his
utmost to confine cholera to his own
herd and farm.
@This same farmer will be his
brothers' keeper in still another man
ner. The farmer with the infected
herd too often fails to realize that
after he has controlled the disease in
his W infected herd by vaccinating
that this does not destroy the virus in.
pens and yards. Failing to realize
this, he goes promiscuously among
his fellow farmers spreading cholera
at every step. No doubt this has
been q prolific aus OF the spread
of the disease In the past. Indeed it
is a serious question whether as much
cholera has not been caused in this
manner as has been controlled by vac
cination.
sStill another precaution must be
taken. II an affected herd has been
yaccinated and further losses pre-
vented. the farmer who has the well.
fare OF his community and state at
heart will practice thorough disinfec-
ton of his pens and yards to prevent
the spread Of cholera on his neigh
bors' choes. Several months or more
OF exposure to direct sunlight should
be allowed to kill the virus. Even
longer time is needed in cold weather
or in and cracks in the pens.
Indeed each individual farmer a do
a great deal to help control the dis
ease at practically no expense or la
Dor, and his community and the state
as a whole will profit"
