RECORD YEAR Is PROMISED
mineral Output and Prices in This
Country for 1916 Are More Than
Ordinarily Satisfactory.

Judging and estimating from its first
six months, the year 1916 will be the
greatest year in mining this country
ever experienced. Good prices and an
active demand for mineral products
have spurred mine operators.
Reports from throughout the coun-
try show that soft COAL copper, iron,
read and zinc are being mined i'm
larger quantities than last year. Gold
production probably will show de-
crease, but silver mines are working
to capacity.

of the year exceeded by more than SO
per cent last years shipments for the

demands are stimulating the produc-
ton of manganese as never before. q.
1t is predicted that 1915 will
doubtless be the most profitable year
In the history of copper production to
the present time, and possibly for
years to come" 1t is asserted that
profits of the producing companies
have been large, and as much of the
output is sold several months ahead

dustry is we'll assured for the remain

Under the influence of large de-
mands and resultant high prices the
production of copper during the last
SIX months has exceeded that of any

dustry. Prices of copper have aver
aged more than 20 cents a pound dur

Snails Are Easy to Raise
And Make Nutritious Food,
States a British Authority

All snails are edible and nutritious, -
said Canon Hershey in a book on Brit
ish land and fresh water mOlluscs, Just
published. He goes on to say that
even the common garden snail, though
insipid, is as nourishing as calf's foot
jelly.
There is a large white-shelled snail
called Helix pomatia that is commonly
eaten by cOnnOisseurs In the south of
England, while all over France, Italy
and Spain several species are used
as food. In France there are many
small snail farms which yield a good
profit to their owners. In the French
and Italian quarters Of New York
snails may be bought, either alive or
cooked, and at most of the French
restaurants they are served "escargots
farcis' being the most usual form OF
the dish.
Snails are easy to raise In large
quantities. They need lime for max
ing their shells, but they do not have
TO be fed, as they can find their own
food, which is the leaves of many
plants. They eat nothing else

Why Soldiers Play Chess.

There is an increasing demand for
chess and draughtsmen in every hos
pital and nursing home for the wound
ed men from the front. Men who
are confined to bed and who are,
perhaps, nervous wrecks from the din
of battle, find solace in n game of
chess. The reason Is the men are so
fond of chess and draughts is mainly
because they enjoy the element OF
competition. Yet all the while the
game is quickly making their shat
tered nerves settle down again. A
mans spirit cannot be altered or
dampened by hardships, but his nerves
In most cases are broken up entirely,
and for those who are not strong
enough To play billiards, tennis or
other strenuous games, chess and
drauShts prove us effective. Chess
originated in China. and is the Oldest
methodical game in existence. The
first mandarin wanted new and
complicated game and invented chess.
the first game being played upon the
stone squares of his palace.

Better to Love.

Better To love while living,
And better than all that's said
To go with heart forgiving
The living before the dead.
For with the dead it is peaceful,
And hearts can ache no more:
But with the living, they need you,
And their hunger is never DER.
Better To love while singing,
And better than all that's sung
The love in sweet word winging
To wed with heart that's young.
Fec words are an empty message,
And life is II sunless CLEAN
Without the passion that puppies
The silvery valleys of dream.
Better To love while toiling.
And better all toll for this
The touch of tender spirit,
The bloom of an answering kiss;
For the toll may tear Us asunder,
And the care may batter and scar
But love with living wonder
Can battle the bitterest tear.

GOODS ON APPROVAL
BY DR.. SAMUEL 6. DIXON
Commissioner Of Health Of
Pennsylvania.

Ii is the custom with many firms TO
send certain classes of goods 10 their
customers homes on approval. II they
are not satisfactory the prospective
purchaser has the privilege of ex-
changing them. Obviously ii is impos-
sible for the salesman 10 know what
conditions are in the house where such
goods go, who handles them and how
they are tried or examined. The pos
sibility of spreading communicable
disease is very real.
When new things go into n home,
curiosity and interest is naturally
aroused in all the members of the fam
lily. Children and adults join in the
examination.
OF course where there are cases of
communicable disease which have
been reported and quarantined no
goods are delivered on approval. There
are often cases of disease, however in
the early stages unrecognized or so
mild in form as to make it seem I'M
necessary TO call physician Into
these homes merchandise is delivered
without question.
Modern craftsmanship is far removed
from the sharp barter of earlier days

tatiOn are recognized as necessary
