ST. XAVIER'S SCHOOL PATRIOTIC

The pupils of st. Xavier's school
have originated novel idea.
In their enthusiasm to help their
brothers who have gone to the war,
they have pledged themselves to sac
rifice their candy money and purchase
Liberty bonds. Each child brings a
penny day and passes by the candy
shop, as if it were the ice house in his
desire to do his bit
A friendly rivalry has arisen among
the different rooms to be the first to
procure Liberty Bond.
The precious documents will be
framed and hung in their respective
rooms as heirlooms of patriotism
for the future pupils of St. Xavier's.
The interest will be devoted to the
Red Cross or some other charitable
purpose.

GEOLOGICAL SURVEY REPORTS NO
SHARTAGE, IN COAL PRODUCTION.
Daily Output Breaks All Records to
Meet Demands. 1917 Output to Elk.
coed 1915 Record by 25 Per Cent.

So much is being said about the
shortage of bituminous coal, and the
general public realizes so little the
important gains in output made By
the operators under trying conditions
last summer. over all previous rec
ords, that the statement just issued
by the United States Geological Sur
vey, Department of the Interior, on
production in 1917 compared with
1916 is particularly timely. In COM
menting on this report, prepared by
the statisticians Of the Geological
Survey, Director George Otis Smith
points out that the shortage is not
due to the failure of the soft coal
mines to produce more coal than in
the past. for the country on Septem-
Der / was about month ahead of last
year in the output and is expected to
finish the year with an increase of 10
per cent over 1916, the banner year,
and of Is per cent over 1915.
The tremendous increase in manu-
featuring and transportation activity
this year has created demand for
soft coal in excess of any in the past
an increase in demand that is difficult
to measure in terms of tons but that
is certainly more than the 10 per cent
by which production has increased.
To meet this. demand the mines have
been producing soft coal at a rate
never before equaled. In the second
week Of July, 1917, the average daily
production was more than 100000
tons, the highest point yet attained;
in the middle of August the lowest
rate for the summer, 1,53S,00O tons,
was recorded and in the last week
of September the daily rate was 1928
900 tons. In the first eight months
of 1917 the output of soft coal was
363,5O0,0OO tons, or 100000 tons
more than in the first eight months
of 1916. In the same period ship
ments OF anthracite increased 10 per
cent over those of 1916.
In the bulletin just issued by the
Geological Survey, the figures of COM
parative shipments regularly collect
ed and shown in part in the month
ly and weekly reports, are converted
into tons of total production, in order
to satisfy the demand for information
on the part of those not familiar with
the coal industry. The diagram OF
average daily production will hereaf-
ter be produced in the weekly reports
issued each Saturday. and the diagram
showing total production to date will
appear in the bulletins sent out on the
18th of each month.

SUGAR SHORTAGE IN MANCHES-
TER

The supply of graduated sugar is
about exhausted in Manchester. w.
H. Lafferty informed us Monday night
that he had on hand three one-hun-
dred-pound sacks. and that no custom-
er the following day could get more
than soc worth at one time. Mr.. Laf-
ferty stated that the wholesale houses
were unable to procure sugar in any
quantity until the refineries were
able to supply the 1917 product. Beet
sugar will not be on the market for
several weeks yet. 1t would not be
at all surprising if Manchester would
have to establish sugar-less days be-
fore the new sugar is on the market.

POTATOES WITH MEAT.
Scientific Basis for This Combination
Not a Mere Food Prejudice.

Meat and potatoes are good food
combination, and may be a better
diet than bread and meat, according
to the United States Department Of
Agriculture. At this time, when a
plentiful supply of potatoes makes
them cheap, and when wheat and
-four are high, the average family,
says the department, may find it wise
to eat less wheat foods and use pota-
toes instead. Potatoes at 81 a bushel
give more energy and good mineral
bases than bread at five cents half
pound loaf
Mineral Content of Potatoes Valuable.
Most persons like potatoes with
meat, and they furnish valuable
starch; but it is pointed out that
mere starch is not all that is needed,
and that the mineral content of po-
tatoes is of value in counteracting the
acid-forming substances in meat. These
acids are present also in cereals,
while vegetables, fruit and milk have
an excess of neutralizing alkalis.
Therefore potatoes are better with
meats than are rice, bread and macar-
oni.
Furthermore. potatoes assist in
regulating the digestive tract to a
greater extent than white flour, mac
aroni, and polished rice. Potatoes
may be added to the diet in bread it
self by mixing portion Of finely
mashed potatoes with flour.-Weekly

riculture.
