very much below 50 ton. But l can.
not believe that the operators should
be censured as wretches and criminals.

simply accepting prices which people
are Offering and are willing to pay. !
think they are as patriotic and unset

adopted. as nearly everv other bust
ness has adorted. the famous motto
Of transportation companies, namely

when he says that we have laws which
will meet the trouble. think the con-
dition is this: The operators have
not combined to exact high price for
coal. The buyers of coal apparently
are so anxious to get 1t that they are
bidding any price for it in quantities
much greater than the operators are
able to furnish. That is the chief
cause for the high price Of coal. l
think we need additional legislation
upon that subject.
COST $3.50 A TON.
"The testimony before the interstate
commerce committee Of the senate has
shown with absolute clearness that the
average cost of producing coal In this
country at this time is not more than
$3.50 a ton There are some mines in
which the cost would be little greater
than that, but ! am well within the
bounds when I say that the average
cost Of producing coal at the mouth
Of the mine loaded on cars, at this
time will not exceed $3.50 ton and
no coal operator-and there were
score who appeared before our COM
mittee-asserted that so, cents a ton
would be an inadequate profit.
MINE OWNERS VIEW.
~ "In my opinion the coal operators
are wanting now to reimburse them
selves for alleged losses which they
have sustained in the last ten years.
I asked at least half dozen of>these
operators In the course Of the exam.
nation whether they thought 1t was
fair to make the people of the country
now pay price for coal that would re-
imburse them for losses which they
sustained in the business several years
ago. and without one exception they
affirmed that they thought It was per-
fectly fair for them to charge prices
now that would recoup the losses OF
FIVE OF ten years that are gone"
This revelation Of the state Of mind
of the men who have been fixing the
price OF coal as members Of the coal
production committee of the council
of national defense caused smile to
go around the senate.
Senator vardaman asked whether
the operators had given any facts as
to the Increased labor cost. in coal pro-
duction Senator Cummins replied
that much testimony had been taken
on this point and that no operator
claimed that the increase in labor cost
was more than 50 cents ton on the
average. He stated further that con-
tracts made by many Of the mines.
even as late as April Of the present
year. called for price below b

This is vastly more important because
the skin pores do not absorb impuri-

while the bowel pores do.
For every ounce of food and drink
taken into the stomach. nearly an
ounce of waste material must be
carried out of the body. If this waste
material is not eliminated day by day
It quickly ferments and generates
poisons, gases and toxins which are
absorbed or sucked into the blood
stream, through the lymph ducts
which should suck only nourishment
to sustain the body.
A splendid health measure is to
drink, before breakfast each day, a
glass Of real hot water with a tea
spoonful Of limestone phosphate in it,
which is a harmless way to wash
these poisons. gases and toxins from
the stomach, liver. kidneys and
bowels; thus cleansing. sweetening
and freshening the entire alimentary
canal before putting more food into
the stomach.
A quarter pound Of limestone phos-
phate costs but very little at the drug
