WILL. UTILIZE COAL WASTE
Gigantic Central Power Plant Is Now
Under Construction at
Hauto, Pa.

What is believed to be the largest
central power plant in any coal field
in the United States is now being con-
structed by the Lehigh Navigation
Electric company, at Hauto, Pa
AS is well known, the fine sizes of
anthracite, such as buckwheat No.
and smaller, although containing a
high heat content, possess but little
present value at the mines. The fun
damental idea in building this power
plant at Hauto, says Coal Age, Is to
convert this low-priced and. from the
monetary standpoint, comparatively
worthless fuel. iato commercially valu-
able electric current
A considerable proportion Of the
fuel mined in the country today is
used in the generation of electricity.
Particularly during the past few years
the idea has been gaining force that 1t

AUGUSTUS LYON, Terre Hill, Pa.
It is true that nature and woman's
work has produced the grandest remedy
for woman's ills that the world has
ever known. From the roots and
herbs of the field, Lydia E. Pinkham,
forty years ago, gave to womankind
a remedy for their peculiar ills which
has proved more .eficacious than any
other combination of drugs ever COM
pounded, and today Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound is recognized
from coast to coast as the standard
remedy for woman's ills.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass, are files containing hundreds Of
thousands Of letters from women seek
ing health - many of them openly state
over their own signatures that theyhave
regained their health by taking Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound;
and in some cases that it has saved them
from surgical operations.

IS OLDEST WOMAN IN U. S.
Mrs. Clara Fountain Born in Bondage
Year George Washington Died
Celebrates 18th Birthday.

Hastings, Neb.-Mrs. Clara Dawson
Newhouse Briley Fountain, the oldest
person in Nebraska, who lays claim to
being the oldest person in the United
States, celebrated her 115th birthday
at her home in Hastings recently. She
said her health is far better than it
was five years ago and she chuckled
as she said between puffs of her ia
vorite pipe: "Speckt there must be
something to what my son said on
my birthday, when he declared | was

Mrs. Briley lives with her son, DR..
Nelson Briley, seventy-five, colored
veterinary She was born in bondage
on a Virginia plantation in 1879, the
same year George Washington died,
she says. Her own father, Tom Daw-
son, on whose plantation she was born
of slave mother, sold her in bondage
to Middleton Thomas of Louisville,
KY, and when she was but eleven
years old she was taken to Ken
lucky plantation, away from her moth
er and associates.

twice, the first time Dawson and the
next time Newhouse. l was married

Mrs. Briley dearly loves her pipe

ira pipe or two. mo, it don't hurt

Mrs. Briley has not been to church
for several years, but accepted an in
vitation to attend Sunday. She has
recently lost the sight of one eye, but

fers but little ache or pain, is never

Corner of Old Trinity House and Gar
den.
cording to Pepys, himself master In
1876 and in 1885:
Nov and, then, walking into the
garden, saw how horribly the sky
looks, all on fire in the night, was
enough to put us out of our wits; and
indeed it was extremely dreadful, for
1t looks as if it was at rest and the
whole heaven on fire. |, after supper,
walked in the dark down to Tower
street, and there saw it all on fire, at
the Trinity House on that side and the
Dolphin Tavern on this side, which is
very near us; and the fire with extra
ordinary vehemence."
The house was rebuilt, but was
again destroyed by fire in TIA, and
on this occasion the outbreak was
particularly disastrous, as most of re
archives of the corporation were de-
stroyed. AS result the history OF
It's early days is obscure. 1t is gener-
ally believed that some kind of asso-
citation of maritime men for the pro-
lection of the trade of the port of
London existed long before the reign
of Henry WILL, and the charter,
granted in 1914, seems to recognize
the value of such an organization and
to aim at strengthening it's position.
For 1t grants 'to our said liege peo-
pie and subjects that they may have
and enjoy all and singular the liber-
ties, franchises and privileges which
their predecessors the shipmen or ma
riners of this our realm of England
ever had, used or enjoyed. And also
that they may have and hold, them
and their successors, all the lands
and tenements which they now have
in Deptford-Strood."

London.-On May 20, 1914. King
Henry VIII, who was the virtual
founder of the British navy, granted
a charter to the corporation of Trim
ity House. and on May 20, 1914, the
brethren of the corporation celebrated
the 4OOth anniversary by holding a
banquet, to which the leading mem
bers of the government and of the op-
position were invited.
The corporation of Trinity House
has been unfortunate in the matter of
fires. Their establishment in Water

Katharine looked at her with lit

She had seen that look on his face
before and read it Alright. John Va
liant had striven In many contests, not
only of skill but of strength and dar-
ing, before crowded grand stands. But
never in all his life had he so desired
to pluck the prize. His grip was tense
on the lance as the yellow doublet
and olive plume of Castlewood shot
away for last time-and failed. An
instant later the Knight of the Grim
son Rose flashed down the lists with
the last ring on his pike.
And the tourney was won.
In the shouting and hand-clapping
Valiant took the rose from his hat
band and bound it with shred of his
sash to his lance-point. AS he rode
slowly toward the massed stand, the
whole field was so still that he could
hear the hoofs of the file of knights
behind him. The people were on their
feet.
The mounted herald blew his blast

st. George" he proclaimed, II declare

Shirley saw the horse coming down
the line, it's rider bareheaded now,
and her heart began to race wildly.
Beyond wanting him to take part, she
had not thought. She hooked about
her, suddenly dismayed. People were
smiling at her and clapping their
hands. From the other end of the
stand she saw Nancy Chalmers throw
ing her kiss, and beside her tall
pale girl in champagne-color staring
through jeweled lorgnette.
She was conscious all at once that
the flanneled rider was very close
that his pike-point, with it's
big red blossom, was stretching up to
her.
With the rose in her hand she curt
sled to him, while the blurred throng
cheered itself hoarse, and the band
