during the dangerous fire season. from
one ridge to another scanning the noun
tain tops for forest fires. After years of
faithful service in patrol, the horse gives
way to the speedier motorcycle. All
this is due to the desire of the Forest
Service to make the protection of the
National Forests against fires more ef-
fective.
Motorcycles, strong enough to carry
two passengers and equipped with fire
fighting tools are held in readiness at
Custer and Deadwood, ready to start at
once upon the receipt of fire report.
The most effective work in extinguish.

still in the incipient stage and therefore
all effort is made to get to a fire without
delay.

What the Deaf Mutes Saw at the

In the July Woman's Home Compan-
ion Daniel Frohman, the we'll known
theatrical manager, writes an interest
ing and highly practical article entitled
How to Write a Moving Picture Play
--an article full of stories and full of
advice to writer's In the course of his
article Mr.. Frohman tells the following
story;
Il remember that a mediocre company
once interpolated into their dialogue GER
tain rude remarks, JUST for the fun of
the thing, but without destroying their
stage department. They knew the cam
era could record only their actions But
when the film was sent on the road, &c
CHANGED to be played before a com
pany of deaf mutes skilled in the art of
lip language. The whole dialogue be-
came evident to them by reading the
lips OF the actors on the screen. and they
were greatly shocked. OF course, actors
with any reputation to sustain would
not do this. In fact, you would be sur
prised to find how carefully the actors
perform before the camera for they have
~ mind that the film is a record OF their
work for future ages, as well as a com
mercial proposition. People must not

WHEN AND HOW The
BODY POISOKS ITSELF

The underlying cause OF much head
ache, particularly migraine, or sick head
ache, bilious attacks, vertigo, or dizziness,
is intestinal auto-intoxication. This pro-
cess, recognized only in recent years, is
the absorption into the blood OF .poisons
produced in the intestines from the resi-
due OF food.
The two most prominent factors in
causing this condition are constipation
and excessive meat eating. IL can there
fore be largely avoided by care in the
diet and the use of laxative which will
clear away the fcrmenting residue of
food which is generating the poisons.
Pinklets, the new laxative, are admir-
ably suited to protect the body against
the dangers OF auto-intoxication for they
gently assist nature and do not grippe
or purge. Harsh purgatives leave the
system in worse condition than they
find it but Pinklets give just the stimula-
ton to the organs of excretion that is
needed to produce natural action and if
they are used regularly for time they
will really correct constipation.
Your druggist sells Pinklets orthey will
be sent, postpaid, on receipt of price, rs

MORE COAL MINED IN IOWA.
Production in 1918 Reach 100000 Tons,
Valued at Over s13,ooo,0oo.

The production OF coal in Iowa in 1913
was 7,490,64l short tons, valued at Sl3,-
49, ,06l according TO figures compiled by
f. W. Parker, of the United States
geological survey, in cooperation with
the Iowa geological survey. This was
an increase over 1912 of 20l,ll2 tons
in quantity, and of S27s,973 in value.
Except those resulting from drought
which began in June and did not end
until September, conditions during the
year were normal. The slight increase
in production over 1912 was due to the
disturbed labor situation in Colorado.
Operators complain of the unsatisfac-
tory character of the mine labor in the
state, not so much on account of inetli.
cheney as of exacting demands, which
they claim have increased the cost of
mining beyond the prices they have
been able TO obtain for their product
and have discouraged the opening and
development of new properties. Iowa
is primarily an agricultural state, and
the markets for its coal, outside of that
taken by the railroads, are chiefly in
rural communities and cities of moder-
ate size that are dependent on agricul-
tural trade. There are no extensive
interests requiring large
supplies of fuel for the generation of
power. Some coal is shipped from Iowa
70 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 Mones district
averaging about five feet, and they are
irregular and faulted. The |
,oal is noncokinc bituminous grade, |
somewhat high in sulphur, but is fair
'teaming fuel.
The number of men employed in the |
'oal mines of Iowa decreased from 1880 |
n 1912, to 1869 in 1913; consequently |
here was an increase in the average !
early production per man-from 445
ons TO AIS tons.
Iowa is no exception TO the other
tates of the interior province where
hooting of coal from the solid is prac-
iced to a reprehensible degree and the
ecord in that respect for 1913 was worse
han in 1912. The quantity of coal shot
q the solid in 1913 was 5.4O5.l42 short
ons, or y per cent of the total
There were PC fatal accidents in the
pal mines of Iowa in 1919. according to
eports of the United States bureau of
lines an increase of seven over 1912. All
he fatalities occurred underground, and
of them were due to falls Of roofs.

said she didn't remember, but she was
sure Mrs. Carman had never spoken to
her about the shooting.

Week

Washington, July when The Sen

legislation yesterday, Democratic lead
ers prepared to make determined effort
to maintain quorum to do business.
The trade commission bill is the un

Considerable difficulty has been expert
enced by Senator Lewis, the Democratic

This, too, despite the fact that the
action of the Democratic conference last
week bound the majority senators to
stay in Washington until the admin
istration antitrust programme is dis.
posed of.
Repeated roll calls have been neces.
sary to secure quorum.
Warm weather and approaching pri-
maries are believed to be responsible for
the small attendance.
In order to expedite action on trust
and other pending legislation, Majority
Leader Kern is expected to ask that
night sessions be held daring the week
Belief is entertained that this would re

How to Make Strawberry shortcake.

Is there any one who does not like
strawberry shorteake--not the sweet
cake-a nd-strawberry mixture often sold
under that name in restaurants but the
homemade variety. built up of rich
short, biscuit batter ripe berries and
plenty of whipped crsamg
Anyone who can make r good baking
powder biscuit can achieve a delectable
shortcake that can be served in many
WAYS, SAYS a New York Tribune contrib
utor. 1t may be foamy Washington
pie affair, composed of two layers OF
bread. each layer having golden brown
crispy erusts; or it may look equally
tempting. but be made from a single,
thicker bread loaf. which has been split
in the middle after being baked. so there
is much less crust. A shortcake may be
made for individual serving, the batter
being cut with biscuit cutter and baked
in small. round shapes.
The batter may be baked in square
sheets and the finished cake" cut in
slices, instead of in pie-shaped pieces.
These have the strawberry filling more
evenly distributed than the round losves.
Strawberry shortcake is an inexpen-
sive dessert, even when strawberries first
come into market and are selling at high
prices. A single box used in this man
ner is sufficient for six persons.
The standard recipe for the biscuit
dough bread to be used as the founda

You Could Hold All the Radium in the
World in One Hand.

Ray Stannard Baker, writing another
article in his new series entitled See
| ing America in the June American
Magazine, describes entertainingly a
speech recently made in Washington by
DIR, Howard A. Kelly, the famous Balti-
more surgeon, who presented TO com
, mittee OF congressman and other public
officials the cry OF an army of American
cancer patients for more radium. Fol-
lowing is an extract from Mr.. Bakers
account of Doctor Kelly's speech
"He told us that there were only thir-
ty grams of radium now in all the world.
that gram is about the size of a pea
and that. therefore, all the extracted IA.
dium in existence could be held i'm a

world only two grams are in America.
and about one gram, worth one hundred
thousand dollars, is owned in Baltimore.
He exhibited a little tube about an inch
long containing seven thousand dollars
worth or radiun. lie also told us how il
was used in cancer cases, by cutting of
two OF the three varieties OF ravs which
radium throws of these being dangerous
to human lifel and using only the third
variety.
But the most remarkable part of his
was the exhibition Of a
series OF pictures. thrown on a screen.
showing cancer cases actually relieved

How Not to Be Fat.

In the July Womans Home Compan.
ion a woman contributor, who declines
10 sign her name, writes a practical lit.
tic article entitled How Not to Be Fat"
She says that she began by noticing
that stout people sleep too much. She
gradually worked her alarm clock back
from 1880 to 6 o'clock in the morning
and put in the extra time in exercising
and bathing. Then she took up the
habit of walking after breakfast In 10
weeks time she found that she was los

of diet and exercise. OF these she writes
in part as follows;
