COAL IN UNITED STATES


1t has been estimated that there
are more than ,5OO,OOO,OOO,O OO
short tons of coal in the United
States, exclusive of Alaska. An au-
thoritative statement of the coal sup
ply of the world shows that the Unit
ed States has coal reserves exceed
ing those of any other continent and
nearly double those of Europe. The
fact that we are a favored nation
in this respect, however, does not
imply that we should not be on the
alert to discover and put into oper-
alton the best possible policy in re-
gard to our coal lands, and in deter
mining this policy a comparison with
the practices of other mining coun.
tries is helpful. Geological survey
bulletin sos, Mining Laws of Aus.
tralia and New Zealand" contains
much that is suggestive on the sub.
ject, and although it is not an ex-
haustive treatise, it is rhe best

data bearing OH the practical work.

PRINCE CONSOLIDATED
INCREASES ORE RESERVES

What is undoubtedly the most i'm
portant development made in the
Prince Consolidated mine in many
months vas reported during the
week. For some time past develop
ment work has been in progress on
the 400-foot level to the east of the
shaft-which is the lowest point to
which the 20-foot bed has been ex-
plotted. The work has been done
along the dip of the bed and at the
present depth attained, easily $780,
900 tons of new ore has been made
available for extraction and GER
tainly from this source alone the
mine will have at least five years
supply.
Aside from this, the company has
been pushing development in other
parts of the mine with most crafty
ing results. The drift to the north
on the 400-foot level continues in
ore. On the sixth level, a drift is
being u to the south to get under
an ore body for the purpose of ex-
traction. while a cross-cut is being
run to the south to catch some
known ore bodies.
The Prince mine never has been i'm
as good physical condition as it IL
at the present time and with the
treasury in a prosperous state,
Prince shareholders have reason to
feel hat their interests are being
well cared for under the present
management.
The shipments from the Prince this
week amounted to 60 car loads. -

WHY THEY ARE IMMUNE
No Bombs for the Kaiser or Gen.
Joffre

No Bombs for the Kaiser or Gen.
Joffre
Some light has been thrown on this
mystery by Belgian who recently es
capped to England from his home near
Charleroi, where the German general
headquarters are located. One day
he expressed his surprise that these
headquarters frequently visited by
the Kaiser, and where more than a
thousand German officers are housed
in new buildings in a conspicuous
group had never been bombed. The
German officer to whom he express
ed his surprise shrugged his should
ers and answered the question with
another, said
Have you ever heard of General
Joffre's headquarters being bombed?'
The Belgian replied in the negative
and the officer ended the conversa-
ton by saying: "Well that's the reas-
on"
This immunity does not extend to
either divisional or corps head
quarters which have frequently been
under fire from the air.

THE CHARM
OF MOTHERHOOD
Enhanced BY Perfect Physi-
cal Health. Il

The experience of Motherhood Is a try
ing ono to most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in hundred is prepared or I'M
derstands how to properly care for her
self. Of course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at such
times, but many approach the expert
ence with an organism untitled for the
trial Of strength, and when it is over
her system has received a shock from
which it Is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
of caring for the child, and distinct
change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
a happy and healthy mother Of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
an unprepared condition, and with am
Pile time in which to prepare, women
will persist in going blindIy to the trial.
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, a most valuable tonic and
invigorator of the female organism.
