Preventing Coal Shortage

"The Railroads War Board has re-
ceived reports indicating that the efforts
of the railroads and coal shippers to
prevent the threatened coal shortage on
the Northwest during the coming winter
has been more successful than seemed
possible during the summer. With five
wesks or more left before the close Of nav
igation on the Great Lakes 23,340, 100
of the 100000 tons, which it is esti-
mated will be required, have already been
sent to the Northwest. The Commission
on Car Service is now directing efforts to
the work of insuring and adequate coal
supply for domestic and industrial uses Of
coal in all other sections Of The county.
While as greater supply of coal has been
mined and shipped than ever before the
difficulty to-day is that the consumption
all over the country is greater than ever
before"

Soldiers, Chance of Lie.

If you, drafted man, believe that
statistics tell the truth, you will feel as
safe in France as you usually do in
the streets of New York. So says Rog-
er w. Babson, the eminent statis-
tician, according to Popular Science
Monthly. Furthermore, he says that
the man who Is connected with the
heavy field artillery is no more likely
to be killed than one In the employ Of
a railroad. However, he does not hold
out such high hopes for the lieuten-
ants, sergeants and corporals, the
death rate being very much greater
among officers than among privates
Also, the mortality is higher among
volunteer corps than among drafted
men. Sixty men per thousand are now
being killed In the war. and about $50
men out Of each thousand are
wounded.

WRITES HIMSELF TO DEATH
Anagram Writing From Shakespeare's
Works Takes Vitality of Noted
British Author.

The death Of Capt. Basil Willett
Charles Hood, the British author, was
brought about by his excessive at
tempts at anagram writing from Shake
speare's works, according to testimony
at the inquest in London. He was
fifty-three years old and a former Off
Ger of the Prince of Wales West York
shire regiment.
The coroner, according to the Lon
don Times, said it was evident what
caused death. Captain Hood was en-
gagged in laborious undertaking, con-
structing writing out of the cryptic
grams which he alleged that he found
in Shakespeare.
"There are reams Of writing here"
said the coroner. "Every single let
ter is written most carefully, and 1t
must take months to file all this stuff
about secret writing and various mes
sages which he purported to have
found concealed by means Of cryptic
grams in Hamlet and other plays. It
seems to me that he has been working
very late at night and all day at this
rubbish-it cannot be called anything
else-and has been exhausting himself
and wearing out his nervous system by
going without a proper amount Of
nourishment because he thought his
brain more active on an empty stom-
ach. All the time he was using his
strength in this way he was exhaust
ing his strength"

CATERPlLLARS CAUSE RASH
ported at Emergency Hospital of
Salt Lake City.

No less than four cases of blood poi
soning and body rash caused by
virulent variety of caterpillar have
been reported to the. emergency hos
pital, says the Salt Lake Tribune. Mrs.
Dean r. Daynes Of $40 South West
Temple street, appealed to the city
officials for advice in regard to a rash;
that had broken out on her baby's
back. Mrs. Daynes said she had found
an ordinary looking yellow caterpillar
in her baby's clothing and discovered
the rash later. She was advised to
call in a physician Immediately.
"Caterpillars are the larvae of
lepidOpterOus insect, not necessarily
butterfly, in the first stage of meta
morphosis," according to Webster. The
larvae of such insects as the geOm-
etrid moth or the hawk moth are
smooth and are not poisonous. The
large yellow haired ones have a pencil
of hairs that look like horns and a
fasicule Of hairs that resembles a TAIL
1t is the sting from these hairs that
poisons, as it is almost impossible for
the insect to bite.
No case of a caterpillar sting has
proved fatal, so far as the officials of
the Salt Lake hospitals know. Mothers
were advised to keep their very young
children off lawns and from beneath
trees, unless some one was in attend
ance to watch them. ,~,,.,,s..
George Williams, thirty-eight years
old, Of 537 South West Temple, also
of Salt Lake, was bitten on the thigh
by a caterpillar while in bed. Within
an hour the poison had spread through
his entire system and a rash had
broken out on his arms and back. He
was treated at the emergency hos
pital, bringing the caterpillar with
him.

STATE PRESS
Doing a Patriotic Service.

There are two or three newspapers in
the second district which unconsciously
show antipathy toward Congressman
Dale, in every editorial reference to him.
The strange thing about this well-recog-
nized fact is that all such newspapers are
published in the home towns of men who
we're defeated for congress by Dale, or
towns which have would-be aspirants for
his seat. In going to Europe to study war
condition at his own expense, we under
stand our congressman is doing a service
for constituents and of his nation which
only handful Of men in the country have
done. Orleans County Monitor.

JOURNALISM THE JAPAN WAY
One Publisher Finds Suppression of
Sensational News Does Not Meet
With Approval.

To ascertain the tastes of his read
ers with regard to sensational stories,
according to the East and West News
bureau, Motono Eikichchiro, editor of
the Yomiuri, recently "held out" the
story of the double suicide pact be-
tween the daughter of Count Yoshi-
kawa, vice president of the privy coun-
Gil, and her chauffeur, with the re-
suit that the following day he was del
uged with letters from indignant read
ers of his paper, many of them charg-
ing him with accepting brides from the
Yoshikawa family. Every other news
paper in Tokyo printed the story Amer
lean fashion.
Eikichchiro based his action on a
desAe to protect the public from
scandalous conduct. 1t is said the
young editor Is now convinced Of the
truth of the saying Of the late Charles
A. Dana that whatever the Almighty
permits to happen Is fit to print" To
deny the inslnuation that the Yoshi-
kawa family paid him to leave out the
story, he printed: ''The Yoshikawa
family at once engaged press agent
and supplied the paper with complete
details of the affair"
He later INDUCED in long article
about the aims Of a newspaper, adj
hitting that his attitude was a dar-
ing one. He confessed that if he fol-
lowed the advices of the very few
readers who approved his course, che
would have no hope Of continuing in
business"

What's all this furore about re-
electing Governor Graham? If we
remember rightly Governor Gates
was acclaimed about the best gov
evernor ever and the talk" Of his
reelection was even stronger than
this about Governor Graham. Ger
tain tparties are trying to mould
public opinion this way and that in
accordance with whoever they want
to run for governor. 1t appears to
the Herald that thus far the common
people, who have no special candi-
date to present, have made no "call"
for the reelection Of Governor Ora
ham. Governor Graham has made
an excellent governor, but there are
others. The state elects a governor
to make an excellent record and be-
cause he does this it is not excep-
tional, neither special "call' for
continuance in service. A single
term is the notable custom in this
state, and when the time comes fol-
the people to have their say on thin
question the subject of reelection
will be taken care of. In the mean
time trot out your candidates boys
Let's get a good look at theii fine
points. Don't hide their talents

HANDLING MILK In SUMMER
Whether Intended for Table, Cream.
cry or Market, 1t Must Be Sweet
to Bring Best Price.

It is no trick at all to keep milk
sweet in cold weather. 1t may stay
in the sun half a day in December
without any damage. but in June and
July it must be handled very care
fully. Whether the milk or real is
intended for the table, the creamery,
or the milk market, it must be sweet
if it is to bring the best price.
To keep milk sweet just two simple
things must be very carefully looked
after: (1) it must be cooled as COM
pletely and quickly after milking
as possible, and (2) absolute cleanli-
ness of pals, pans, and cows must be
secured. If this is done, thunder
storms will no longer sour the milk.
The warm, damp weather which we
have just before thunderstorms really
does tend to cause milk to sour If 1t
has not been properly cared for.
This souring takes place because lit
tie invisible plants called bacteria get
into it in dirt or by lurking in the cor
lners and seams of poorly cleaned pals
and cans The remedy is plain. Keep
THE bacteria out by using seamless
pals and cans and seeing that abso.
utely no dirt or dust gets into the
milk In the stable or anywhere else.
