FIRST USE OF
RESINOL STOPS
TERRIBLE ITCH

Jan. 81, 1914; II suffered over eight
years with eczema. 1t started in one
little place and kept spreading until 10
covered my hands. My hands looked
like they had been burned by fire and
peeled of in largo pieces until they
were only raw flesh. / was told it was
eczema. 1t itched and burned me so
that could not sleep at night. ! tried
all sorts of eczema salves and one pre-
scription after another but nothing gave
me any relief until tried Rssinol Soap
and Resinol Ointment, and after the
first application my hands never itched
or burned again, and were well in one
week. / want every sufferer from
eczema to know that they can find a
cure in Resinol" (Signed) Miss Ethel

WON'T CONSIDER SEA
SAFETY BILL AGAIN
Effort to Kill Ratification Amendment
Defeated--Administra Desired
Reconsideration of Treaty.

| Washington, Dec. 23.-The Senate in
executive session yesterday failed to re-
consider the vote by which it ratified
the safety at sea treaty. The point of
order was made that the motion had not
been made within the limit of the time
required under the rules and Senator
Swanson, in the chair, sustained the
point.
The object in moving to reconsider was
to try to kill the amendment to the rati-
fication resolution put in by Senator
John Sharp Williams, which reserves to
the United States the right to pass the
LaFollette steamship bill. The admins
tration desired the treaty reconsdered
because it is understood that foreign ma
lions signatory to the treaty will refuse
to be found by the treaty if the United
States insists upon its right to legslate
concerning the treatment of seamen on
merchant vessels while in American
ports.
The real bone OF contention is the La
Toilette seamanship bill which purports
to abolish involuntary servitude in mer-
chant marine"
The bill has long been advocated by
the international Seaman's Union and
the American Federation of Labor
The action by the Senate yesterday If
it is allowed to stand probably kills the |
treaty.

BRONCHIAL COUGHS

When the bronchial tubes are af-
fected with that weakening, tickling
cough, they need immediate and SEN
sible treatment. The breath seems
shorter because of mucous obstruc-
tons; usually fever is present and
your head jars with every cough.
Your chest aches and the inhamma-
ton often spreads to the lungs.
The food-tonic that has proven its
worth for forty years-is SCOTS Emul-
sion. 1t drives out the cold, which
is the root of the trouble, and checks
the cough by aiding the healing
process of the enfeebled membranes.
If you are troubled with bronchitis
or know an afflicted friend, always re-
member that Scott's Emulsion builds
strength while relieving the trouble.

President Defends the Right
Of the Senate to
Reject
THERE CAN BE NO
FIGHT WITH HIM
Over the Nominations That
Will Endanger Success
of Administration

Washington, Dec. 23.-President Will
son yesterday extended the olive branch
to the Senate. He took occasion to dis
cuss the various reports of serious
friction between himself and the Sen
ate, to defend its right to reject any and
all nominations he may send in. But
he declined to outline his plans for deal
ing with such nominations as are re-
jected by it, or to say whether he would
change his present plan of standing by
such nominees
The president declared he had learned
with great deal of interest, from the
newspapers that the Senate had declared
war on him because of certain nomina
tions, but he always has maintained that
the Senate has perfect right to reject
nominations. He maintained he was far
more interested in the larger affairs of
government than in patronage. The sue
cess of the administration, in his opin-
ion, did not depend upon patronage, the
latter being a minor issue. He stated
that so long as he holds this opinion
there can be no fight with the Senate
that will endanger either the interests
Of the country at large or the success
Of the administration.
Much that has been published regard
ng the reported eight to a finish" be-
tween the administration and the Sen
ate is, in the opinion of the president,
absurd. Speculation on what he would |
,r would not do he said, seemed to be (
fayorite plan with certain newspapers
lie did not object to this he said, as it
Usually showed him what it was best .
lot to do.
When asked whether he would send
n other names to replace those already
elected by the Senate, especially for
hat OF John d. Lynn OF Rochester, re-
ected as United States attorney for the
festern district of New York, the presi
ent said he had not even considered
he question.

COLORADO COAL OUTPUT

Denver.-There was a decrease of
I,1S3,577 in the number of tons of coal
mined in Colorado during the year
1914 from that OF 1918, according to
the preliminary draft of the annual re-
port of State Coal Mine Inspector
James. Dalrymple. but the decrease is
less than the decrease OF 1913 from
the production of 1912. The strike the
European and Mexican wars, the clos
ing down OF the large steel mills in
Pueblo and the general business de-
preston are given as the causes for
the decrease. The normal output in
Colorado is 10.500. 900 tons per year.
A total of s.0S5.3S2 tons were mined
in the state during 1914 as against
9.26S,939 in 1913. This showing, con
sidering the conditions, is declared to
be good. The average number of men
employed in and about the mines was
1O,s60, and the total average days
worked 169.
Routt county, despite the fact that
il is a comparatively new field, showed
n remarkable increase during the year.
1t made the best county advance. an
Increase over last year of 322,S66 tons.
Non-coking. bituminous coal of excel
lent quality is produced in this dis
trict Most of it is sent out OF the
state. The increase amounted this
year to nearly 500 over last years to-
tai production. Dalrymple reports that
the condition of the mines is most ex-
cellent at this time and has never been
better. Many improvements have been
made in the mines by the companies,
which have shown a decided tendency
toward progress in this respect, it is
said.

puted the following tables by estimat-
ing the production for December on

BARTH FUNERAL HELD.

Denver.-While scores gathered to
revere the memory of William Barth,
pioneer, capitalist and realty owner,
Mrs. Leona Spencer Barth Brookman,
widow of his only son, Charles j.
Barth. and her husband, Frank Z.
Brookman, were barred from the fu-
neral services at the Bath residence,
246O Welton street, by city detectives
placed at the door for that purpose by
order of Moritz Barth and Mrs. j.
Hagg of Kansas City, brother and sis
ter of the dead millionaire. Miss Char
lotte Barth, granddaughter and idol of
the aged mans heart until few
weeks ago, was with the Brookmans,
but, as in life, she forsook her grand
father and clung to her stepmother,
so in the last moments before all that
was mortal of William Barth was
taken to its final resting place in Riv-
erside cemetery she turned from the
house with the Brookmans without
even glance at the still face and
form in the front room.

Washington.-Owi to the pool
condition of winter wheat on Dec.
the Department of Agriculture's esti
mate, based on condition figures ol
production next year. Is only $4,000,
900 bushels, although the area sowr
this fall, Al. .263.O00 acres, is the great
est ever planted In the United States
The poor condition is due principal
ly to a very dry fall. which caused the
growing crop to get poor start and
to the Hessian fly, scattering reports
of which have been received from
various localities from Maryland to
Oklahoma.
The bureau of crop estimates, in in
terpreting the condition reports, is
sued this statement:
"The condition of the winter wheat
crop on Dec. l is estimated at 8S.3 per
cent OF normal crop, which compares
with 97.2 per cent year ago. In the
past ten years, the condition on Dec.
/ has averaged 90.3 per cent and the
outturn of the crops has averaged
about 14.4 bushels per acre on the
planted area.
In the same proportion the condi-
tion of SS.3 would forecast yield OF
about 14.OS bushels. which, on the
estimated acreage planted, amounts
to $3.50, 100000 bushels.
"The production in 1914 was esti-
mated at 675,623,oOO bushels (by far
the largest amount ever produced in
one year, and in the preceding five
years an average annual production of
AL, 100000 bushels.
'In forecasting this quantity of $780,
100000 bushels, it should be consid-
cred as the amount of which the prob
ability is equal that the outturn will
be either above or below it. The crop
will be larger or smaller than this
amount, according as the changes in
conditions from now to harvest are
better or worse than average changes.
Rye was sown this fall on 1851 900
acres, an increase of $4,000 acres over
the revised estimated area sown last
fall. The condition of rye on Dec. 4
was 93.6 per cent Of normal. against
953 per cent last year, 93.5 in 1912,
and 90 the ten-year average.
