FOR EXPORT
 OF MINERAL FUELS

In its reserves of mineral fuels, the United States holds an impregnable position as world power in industry and commerce. Our production of coal overtops that of any other na- tion and, in fact, nearly equals the combined output of Great Britain and Germany, the nations that rank sec ond and third. lnasmuch as the Unit ed States leads the world not only in coal production but also in low cost of coal mining, and apparently pos sesses the greatest reserves, it follows, as was pointed out by Campell and Parker in 1908, that foreign countries will obviously look more and more to the United States for their supplies of coal. The lower cost of production in the United States which is due large ly to the favorable location of the coal beds and the extensive use of mining machines, is offset in Great Britain by the proximity of the coal mines to the seabord. The wages paid in the United States are higher than in any country of Europe. This country's preeminence in the produc- tion of petroleum is even more con- spicious, so that the opportunity for exporting mineral fuels presents no immediate problems for the domestic producer.

THE RADIO-ACTIVITY OF THE
 SARATOGA WATERS.

In view of the fact that the sick of this and other countries have been extensively exploited in recent years by vendors of so-called raido-activi- waters, the Bureau of Mines has done public service by publishing the re- suits of it's examinations for radio-ac- tivity of the waters of Saratoga Springs N. Y. The results show that the activity of the different springs varies widely some being more than twenty times as active as others. It most enthusiastic believers in the efficacy of radioactive waters should be inclined to attribute much reme- dial value to the radio activity of even the strongest of them. Some are, however, much stronger in radio-acti- vity than at least one of the widely exploited radioactive" springs. Were the Saratoga Springs still in the hands of private individuals it is quite likely that these results would be exploited for commercial purposes. The work is stated to have been un- dertaken at the request of the com missioners of the state reservation at Saratoga Springs and, we assume, is published says The Journal of the American Medical Association is far more creditable than that of the Unit ed States government in connection with the United States Reservation at Hot Springs, Ark, the government has had the radio-activity of these waters determined on two separate occasions, but only the vaguest and most meager information has been allowed to become public-just enough in fact, to enable the bath-house own CTS and the government itself to ex- ploit the results and to deceive the tens of thousands of sick who yearly visit these springs.

BENEFITS FROM WAR FOR U. S.
Conflict Abroad Should Help Our h. dustries. Says Statist. and Make Us Worlds Banker.
(From the London Statist)


 The war in Europe will probably bring economic advantages to the United States. It will enable it to sell it's great crops in places which will give much greater income than if there was no war.
 Almost every industry will der.ve more or less advantage. American investors and bankers should get in much profit from the ability to buy back from Europe great quantities of securities at attractive prices in pay ment for the foodstuffs and raw ma terial exported from the United States
 The United States can become as it has this week, the worlds greatest market for capital, and if the Amori- can people rise to their opportunity they can do q great deal to mitigate the disasterous economic consequences which would otherwise result in many countries from great European war
 It is obvious that for the time being the money markets of Europe will be closed to the demands for new capital of Canada, Brazil, Argentina, Mexico and other countries, and at such a time the prestige of the United States would be immensely enhanced if it were to take the place of Europe and meet the pressing needs of these bor- rowing countries.
 It is possible that the United States may participate in the great loans that will have to be raised in Europe if almost the whole continent be- comes engaged in war. Possibly the participation will be indirect rather than direct.
 For the United States to gain bene- fit from the position as the wealthiest nation in the world, it is essential that American investors should not only have confidence in the future of their own country. but also believe that, war or no war, the world will continue to progress.
 In brief, a great war in Europe will give the United States an opportunity of assuming the post of world banker, by supplying capital freely to coun- tries and individuals in all parts of the globe who need it and can provide the required security. Should the American people take advantage of the golden opportunity afforded them by the outbreak of war, it will mean not diminished but increased prosperi- ty for the United States.

JOHN Is. LAST DRINK
SULLIVAN SAVED 100000 IN
EIGHT YEARS OF ABSTINENCE.
Was Kicked Out of BarrOOm, Where
He Spent His Last Penny, Be-
cause He Was Broke"

| cause he was BROKE"
Eight years ago John L. Sullivan,
unshaven and unkempt, emerged
from the bar of the Grand hotel at
Broadway and Thirtieth street, New
York, stood for moment looking
back at the door and then walked un-
certainly uptown. 1t was o'clock
in the evening and the former pugil-
list brushed shoulders with we'll
groomed people hurrying to the the
aters. He was the derelict in the
stream. On his face there was half
smile, but it wasn't a pleasant one.
At the corner of Thirteenth street
he met "Morry" Cohen and news
paper man, with both of whom he
was acquainted. He growled som :
thing incoherent in response to their
greeting and was apparently about to
pass on. But he paused and turned
toward them.
''Ive just been turned down in
that bar-room for drink" he said
Il wanted one drink more and didn't
have the price. They didn't give it
to me. They put me out. They
didn't send the proprietor or the
manager to put me out. They sent
the porter. I've spent $4,000 over
that bar. And they put me out be-
cause / wanted a drink and couldn't
pay for it, There's only one thing
you can figure out of proposition
like that. Quit drinking! Tonight I
quit"
The former champions friends ex-
pressed indignation over the treat
ment he had received. 1t reused no
spark of anger in "the big fellow"
He was too filled with the sense of
shame and modification. Still brood
ing over the indignity he had suf-
fered, he accompanied Cohen and the
newspaper man to Murphy's saloon,
at Sixth avenue and Thirtieth street.
Cohen ordered drink. Sullivan filed
his whisky glass to the brim.
"Boys," he said, "here's the last
for me-"
That's the true story of John L.
Sullivan's last drink. Eight years
have passed and the John L. Sullivan
who was tottering on the edge of the
gutter looks eight years younger to-
day than he did that night. And he
has 100000.

MY LADY's NICOTINE.
London Women Wear Smoking Suits
of Startling Design.

London women w ear SMOKING SuIlS
of Startling Design.
The cigarette habit among fashion
able women in London is responsible
for a curious fashion in smoking
suits. One that resembles a fancy
pierrit suit of black charmeuse is
covered with a startling design OF
emerald green leaves, relieved with
sashes of yellow and white. The
trousers are loose and baggy, the
neck slightly docellete, has large
black satin collar and green ruf1e.
Another suggests a Chinese vase with
it's background of blue covered with
hawthorn design.
Handkerchief also have succumbed
to the craze of Futurism. The latest
have a wide border of some startling
color, with a contrasting flower in
the center, whose leaves should be
black, or blue, or purple, any color,
in fact that is not usually found in
a leaf. On others are embroidered
chickens, or beetles, and the cocks,
or storks, or elephants and the like,
in natural colors. Vegetarians are
especially catered to in the handker-
chief which shows a carrot, head
of asparagus, a strawberry and other
fruits and vegetables in one corner.

A SURVEY OF THE FIELD
CONTRIBUTED BY DAWSON CHAPTER w. G. n ..

The action of the railroads and
business and industrial concerns in
prohibiting drinking on the part OF
employees and closing the doors OF
promotion to those who drink, to-
gether with the activity of the tenn
perance forces, is causing slump in
the consumption of intoxicants. This
is proven by the monthly reports of
internal revenue collectors. 1t is be-
coming more apparent each day that
business and booze will not mix.

CHURCHES GREAT YEAR
TO SPEND MORE THAN $50, OOO,.
600 FOR NEW EDIFICES.
Religion Is Far From Being Dead
Letter. Roman Catholics Are
Among Most Active Workers.

among -MOSC ACClVO WOFhSfS'
Religion is far from being a dead
letter among US, if the amount to be
invested in new buildings this year
by various churches in this country
is an indication. Up to date there
have been reported contracts for edi-
fees for churches aggregating $780,
100000 to $40,O00,000.
This indicates a more active build
ing season for churches than for ten
years past, and exceeds last years
figures by about 100000. While
all the contracts are not for church
edifices proper the expenditure is all
for buildings connected with church
es, and this is in the face of talk OF
financial depression.
Roman Catholics are among the
most active this season. They are
following the pattern of Vienna, Par
is and Rome in multiplying the num-
Der of parishes in large cities, feeling
that their parishes in many cases are
too large. In the Southern states
much building of small Catholic
churches is going on.
The Episcopalians are also active.
They are building cathedrals in sew
eral important cities. The Christian
Scientists report fewer building pro-

No Saloons: Jail Empty.

Now that many Illinois saloons are
closed by reason of the sweeping vic
tories of the drys in that state this
spring, reports are beginning to come
in showing a decrease in drunkenness
and crime in those communities
which voted dry. The Greenfield Ar
gus, published in Calhoun county,
has this to say in a recent issue:
Since the saloons have been voted
out of the county seat of Calhoun
county, there has not been any use
for the county jail so the thrifty and
thoughtful women of that little river
town have transformed it into a rest
