TO RELIEVE COAL SHORTAGE,

A resolution designed to relieve at
once the coal situation, and insure a
sufficient supply for the coming win
ter, has been introduced by Represen-
tatiye Ernest Lundeen, of Minnesota.
Mr.. Lundeen has discovered that dur
ing June, 1916, only 594,531 ears of
coal We're loaded, as compared with
750,322 cars in June, 1917. That fact
convinces him that we have no short
age for home consumption, and it only
needs to be properly distributed to Jul
own people. Mr.. Lundeen's resolution
directs the President to seize sufflc-
lent coal for our own needs, hold it in
the United States, and ship it immed-
lately into such States as may have a
lack of supply. Congressman Lun-
deem significantly remarks that 'the
people of Minnesota and the North
west are not so much concerned with
the coal supply of foreign nations as
they are about their own supply"

Piano, Organ, String Instruments.
Her method of many years. study
and practical experience in every
phase of both vocal and instrumental
music, has proved to be the correct,
thorough and comprehensive system.
There are no doubt, several ways of
teaching, but there is only one true
way for both branches of music, and
the necessary requirements are natural
gifts for n or both. The brain
must comprehend, the fingers demon
strate and memory exercised.
The voice being a truly natural gift,
must possess the volume, quality and
strength for expansion. Great care
must be used in training, as either
muscles forever. A fortune is within
the reach of those to whom nature
has given the high or low expansion,
with the true resonant beauty and
quality. A delightful pleasure to the
listener, or vice versa. When all COM
binations are correct such a voice may
justly be named Musical Elocution."
Special training for young children
in combination on any instrument by
divided time. Talent in all cases must
be well tested before an opinion can be
given. Obedience all thro is abso-
lutely required. What is the secret
of advancement in both vocal and in
strumental music? Think and be pre-
pared ahead means business on both
sides.

Quebec Anti-Draft
Riots Cause Fear
Of Internal Strife

Montreal, June 5.-The inhammatory
anti-conscription speeches by French
Canadians of the province of Quebec
continue. Outside of this province,
with the exception of a small but noisy
clique of Socialists in Vancouver, and a
few laborites here and there. there has
been nothing but praise for the gov
ernment's proposal 80 get after the
slackers through the conscripton meas
ure now before Parliament. There have
been demands from patriotic societies
for the stripping of all governmental
honors from Colonel Armand Lavergne,
the leader Of the Quebec anti-conscrip-
tionists.
While the riots and parades of the
anti-conscriptionists have practically
ceased here. the authorities arc fearful
Of trouble in Quebec. The situation was
summed up in the present issue of "The
Weekly SUM-" the organ of the farmers
Of Ontario, when it said editorially:
"Ontario and Quebec have been ar
rayed against each other as they have
not been arrayed before, and there is
danger that the cause for which con-
scription is invoked may be lost sight
of in civil strife. Mobs parade the
cities of Quebec smashing windows. In
Montreal an agltator threatens reVoIu-
tion and civil war. In Toronto Sc
ditious fellow harangues, without re-
buke, the crowd from the steps of the
law courts to go down and clean up
Quebec"
And something OF the feeling that
Canadians outside Of Quebec entertain
toward the French Canadians of that
province and their present anti-con-
scription activities is epjtomized in the
following leader in the Vancouver
"News-Advertiser":
"Mr. Lavergne has nothing against
the Germans. He has much against
England and still more against the
English speaking Canadians. Why
should Canada listen TO him or TO men
anywhere who talk as he does? To
him there is no nation but Quebec, and
only the French-Canadian part Of that
province"

Medicine Quacks
Revealed in True
Colors by Posters
Medical Association Aids
The Tribune in Expos
ing Nostrums

Among the hundreds Of medical and
surgical exhibits at the Hotel Aston,
headquarters Of the American Medical
Association, now in session, none has
attracted more interest than that OF
the propaganda department OF ne
Journal" the associations official
organ. which is directed by DR.. Arthur
J. Cramp.
Physicians as we'll as lay folk have
stayed for hours at this exhibit when
shows in their true colors the nun
dreds of nostrums and patent medicine
Guackery in general that have deceived
and injured the public for years.
The campaign carried on by Dr.
C~qmp is identical with that Of The
Tribune in its Advisor column against
fraudulent and deceptive advertising.
The exhibit on the mezzanlne moor
Of the grand ballroom, has large
collection Of posters depicting the
frauds of the patent medicine men
The posters were designed for display
at the International Exhibit on Hygiene
and Demography. Copies OF the post
ers. according to DR.. Cramp, arc beng
used in many high schools in connec-
ton with study Of home economies.
At special hours DR.. Cramp has ar
ranged for illustrated talks on the
fraud and dishonesty connected with
much of the patent medicine business.
"Our propaganda is educational, not
punitive" said DR.. Cramp. we are
not striving to put the fraudulent
patent medicine manufacturers out OF
business by legal prosecution, as
dozen more would spring up in the
place of the one destroyed. What we
do wish to do, however, is to Kill the
evil by depriving it of what 1t feeds
on-the unsuspecting and credulous
public. The Tribune has done a
splendid work in this direction and
we are following along its lines. we
have had a great demand for the book
by Samuel Hopkins Adams, Of The
Tribune, on the patent medicine eX-
pose and are selling copies by hun
dreds.
"Our propaganda department has at
tracted the attention of thousands.
They have come to learn that here IS
a legitimate place which they can adj
dress and get any information about
any patent medicine or medical device
that has aroused their interest. Dur
ing March and April | personally re-
ceived and answered over 1900 letters"
Among the articles exposed at the
propaganda department are: Pulmonol,
Eckman's Alternative described as a
worthless consumption cure), The
Texas Guinan Obesity Cure, Mayr's
Stomach Remedy, Doan's Kidney Pills,
Swamp Root, Hostetter's Bitters,
Warmers Safe Remedy and scores of
others.
