RAILWAY INVESTMENTS.

During the six fiscal years 1908 to
1913, inclusive, the steam railways OF
the United States Of class I invested
in their road and equipment cash to
the amount of $4,O1O,3S5,303. Rail
ways of class !, so designated by the
interstate commerce commission. are
those with annual operating revenues
OF over Sf,Oo0,o0O. They include about
90 per cent OF the mileage, receive
more than 96 per cent OF the revenues,
and handle more than SO per cent OF
the traffic.
This cash investment OF the operat-
ing railways of class l of the eastern
district during the six years was
greater than the amount OF capital
securities issued by them during this
period, and was 1919 per cent of the
aggregate of their capital securities
outstanding June 80, 1913; Of the rail-
WAYS of the same class Of the south
ern district it was Pill per cent, and
of the railways of the same class OF
the western district it was 1872 per
cent of the aggregate OF their capital
securities outstanding June 30, 1873
That is. the cash actually expended by
these railways during the last six
years upon their properties used in
TRANSPORTATION amounts to more than
one-fifth of their total capitalization
at the close Of the last fiscal year
This is at the rate of $6ss,397 ,551 per
year.
These figures are obtained through
a compilation made by the bureau OF
railway economics from the reports
of the railways to the interstate COM
MERGE commission. and have not here
tofore been collated.

MORE COAL MINED in IOWA.

MORE COAL MINED IN IOWA. {
The production OF coal in Iowa in
1918 was 7.490,641 short tons, valued
at $1S,431,061 according to figures
compiled by E. w. Parker. OF the Unit
ed States Geological Survey, in co
operation with the Iowa Geological
Survey. This was an increase over
1912 OF Liz tons in quantity, and
OF 327s,973 in value. Except those re.
sulting from drought which began In
June and did not end until September
conditions during the year were nor.
NAL The slight increase in product
ton over 1912 was due to the distrub-
cd labor situation IN Colorado. Oper-
ators complain OF the unsatisfactory
character Of the mine labor In the
state, not so much on account of in
efficiency as Of exacting demands,
which they claim have increased the
cost of mining beyond the prices they
have been able to obtain for their pro.
duct and have discouraged the open.
Ing and development of new proper
ties. Iowa is primarily an agricul.
tural state, and the markets for Its
coal outside of that taken by the rail
roads, are chiefly in rural communi-
ties and cities of moderate size that
are dependent on agricultural trade.
There are no extensive manufacturing
interests requiring large supplies OF
fuel for the generation of power.
Some coal is shipped from Iowa to
Nebraska, Minnesota and other states,
but an equal amount comes into Iowa
from Illinois and eastern fields. The
coal beds of the state are not thick,
the thickest in the Des Moines district
averaging about 5 feet, and they are
somewhat irregular and faulted. The
coal is of a noncoking bituminous
grade. somewhat high in sulphur, but
is fair steaming fuel.
The number of men employed in the
coal mines of Iowa decreased from 49,,
$40 in 1912, to 1863 in 1913; conse
quently there was an increase in the
average yearly production per man
from 445 tons to ATS tons.
Iowa is no exception to the other
states Of the interior province, where
shooting of coal from the solid is prac-
ticed to a reprehensible degree, and
the record in that respect for 1913
was worse than in 1912. The quanti
ty Of coal shot off the solid in 1913
was 5,405,142 short tons. or u pei
cent of the total.
There were 26 fatal accidents in
the coal mines of Iowa in 1913, accord

reau Of Mines, an increase Of z ovel

This L. the fortieth anniversary OF
osteopathy and will be celebrated the
first week in August by the eighteenth
international convention when 5000
osteopaths will assemble in Philadel-
phia for the greatest meeting we have
ever held.
That doesn't mean that it was forty
years since father made the declara-
ton that man is machine, and II
all it's component parts are working IN
harmony, then there should be no
such thing as disease" He made
this declaration out at Eudora, Kan
sas, at the home Of his brother, James
Still, minister and a physician OF
the old school. being one OF the early
graduates Of the Rush Medical School,
at Chicago When father made his
declaration 1t was then that the
argument began which lasted for some
years. He had been making expert
ments along the line of the circuia-
ton of the blood, and had developed
the fact that normal supply OF blood
was necessary for healthy body.
happened to be with my father; 1t
was long time ago. but can re-
member it because of q number OF cir
cumstances incident to the occasion.
A number Of things occurred which
made an impression upon me at that
time which will never forget. We
lived in Baldwin. Kansas, and had
made little itinerary enroute to
Eudora; we stopped at a place where
there had been crippled boy; faith
er at that time was startling the
people around the country by reducing
dislocations, and / might say that the
beginning of the work was made by
the removing of complete dislocations
not solicitations, but the complete
dislocation. We stopped at this house,
and found that the lad had fallen and
had since been unable to walk. Much
money had been spent to cure this
fellow but they had not succeeded.
We walked into the house and asked
to see the boy; father treated him,
and the boy got up and walked. Be
fore we got to Eudora, We found a
child that had fallen and almost COM
pletely lost its sight. Father treated

child was able to see.
We then drove to Eudora, and 1t
was there, as the boys say 1.-The bub-
BILE bursted" My uncle was preach
er, and when father said that If God
made man in his perfect image, then
there were no imperfections; II He
wished man to take pills, then He
would have provided him with hump
on his back as pocket for the pills.
My uncle was greatly perturbed.
That was forty years ago; the
growth of osteopathy has taken place
practically In the last TWENTY-FIVE
years, for he went his own way for
years and years, and worked hard,
and 1t was only in 1SS4-1Ss5 that any
body recognized any merit in This sys,

KEEPING THE HOME COOL.

The universal problem during the
summer months is how to keep the
house cool enough for human habita-
ton. The first step is to keep the
external heat out of the house and
the next is to avoid any more interior
heat than is absolutely necessary.
Keeping the heat outside of the
house is easy enough. BY closing the
blinds and drawing the curtains on
the sunny side of the house this cen
be accomplished. The house need not
be entirely opened until evening But
the housework has to go on, regard
less of the season, winter or summer.
1t is quite impossible to keep hot
fire in the coal range, to burn heat
producing oil lamps, and expect to
keep the house cool.
Electricity has contributed more
than anything else towards keeping
cool in summer. The electric fan
sends out it's cooling breeze when.
ever the days are hot, displacing the
palm leaf fan of the south and the
punka of the Orient. Electric fans
are made in all sizes, for the dining
! room table, the office desk, for walls
and ceilings, for every time, place and
occasion The small eight-inch fans
cost but Il of cent for an hours
cooling breeze.
Ironing day is the hardest day OF
the week for every housewife during
! the hot summer amonths. To be shut
up III q hot room with a flaming gas
or red-hot coal stove, handling hot
irons, with the mercury lowering
close to 100, is far from comfort.
| Ironing is hard work at best and
doubly so In warm weather. The
handy little electric flatiron makes 1t
entirely possible to do this work
without a fire, In the coolest part Of
the house-even out on the back
porch-with ease and comfort. The
cooking can be done on an electric
range, or even with few Of the ordin-
ary electric cooking devices, such as
the chatting disk, the disk stove, cook
ers and broilers, which are readily
attached to the electric light sockets
and do not waste heat Light break
fasts and luncheons can be cooked
right on the dining room table.
It is surprising what lot of heat
radiates from gas and oil lamps. And
yet the house must be lighted every
night regardless of the weather. Light
without heat has not yet been perfect
ed but the electric lamps comes near
est of all to the mark. Electric lights
are not cheat makers" in any sense
of the word. They will not overhead
the room and, better yet, they do not
consume the air or poison it with
noxions gases when fresh air is so
scarce and necessary.
Tho electric motors also contribute
Il, no small way towards keeping the
house cool in summer. The motor
will. il given Q chcnce. do much OF
the hard work about the house. from

Osteopathic Anniversary
Mayor Of Kirksville and Son Of the Founder
Tells How his Father Made the Discovery
Forty Years Ago.

, gan to see that either father had 9
wonderful touch or we had some
ability-it was about that time thai
we had begun to believe as the people
Of Kirksville and other places SAID
that 1t was gift and as soon as faith
er dad, it would die with him. But
It was also at this time that we got at
some things, and in 1891 and 1892 we
began to know that we could do
things.
In 1892. the 18th Of May the first
charter Of the American School OF
Osteopathy at Kirksville, Mo-. was
taken out.
1t was June 22nd. 1874. that father
has taken as the birthday Of osteo'
pathy; l have differed with him
number of times that that was the
date of the declaration, but taeEA must
have been experiments for q number
lof years before his statement that dis
lease was amendable to treatment In
mechanical way. He argued further
that effect followed cause, then re-
moving the cause would relieve the
symptom. And this has been our
watchword ever since: Find 1t, fix
1t, and let It alone" For in asthma,
some Of the most stubborn cases have
yielded after having been treated but
only once.
Regarding DR.. A. g. Hildreth,
might say that ne took up osteopathy
because of his wife being cured OF
blindness, not partial, but complete
blindness. That was one Of the most
wonderful of cures IN the early his
tory Of osteopathy in this country. Dr.
Hildreth's wife had lost her sight due
to growth over the pupil. but was
cured with little difficulty.
Father tried to get the medical pro-
fession out in Kansas to accept his
teachings, but they wouldn't, and 1t Is
good thing for osteopathy that they
didn't, as it probably would have died
there. The very fact that his own
medical brother, his friends, and the
men who had been with and under
him in the medical department Of the
army rebelled, and said they couldn't
see anything in his new ideas. and II
there was, It was the work OF the
devil and they didn't care to have any
thing to do with his satanic majesty

persistent, and he started out afooot
and alone 1t might be said that they
chased him out OF Kansas. So he
came to Missouri, his old stamping
ground. He and his father mad come
to Missouri. and located fourteen
miles north OF Kirksville before there
was any Kirksville. 1t was then Ma
con county, and extended to the Iowa
lime. He felt quite sure that as this
had been his first home in the west,
somebody here would take kindly to
his new plans, but he was received as
| he had been In Kansas; but with the
firm determination Of one who knew
he had something that others did not
have, he persisted, and that Is what
