HARRIS GETS CREDIT FOR
REDUCED PRICE OF COAL

ATLANTA, Ga, August 23.-It is es-
timated here that Georgians have saw
ed from $2,OOO,0OO to $3,OO0,O0O by
Withholding purchases of coal on the
advice of Chairman William J. Harris,
OF the federal trade commission, who
was in Atlanta about a month ago and
gave out an interview in which he
predicted that government action
would be taken to relieve the situa-
ton, and counseled the public to wait
until prices went down.
Atlanta dealers are frank to say
that Chairman Harris advice practi>
caIly stopped their business short off,
except where customers were abso-
lutely obliged to have coal regardless
OF the price The dealers themselves

FLAT FEET MILL NOT
Di5QUAUFY FOR ARMY

WASHINGTON, d. c., August 23.-
Flat feet do not necessarily disqualify
a man for army service. Provost Mar
shall General Crowder, in a telegram
to state governors calls attention to
the army physical regulations which
specify that "a broad fiat sole is COM
mon in laboring classes, particularly
among negroes, and is in no way dis
ablmg.
In the fat foot which renders a
ran unfit for military service the
regulations explain, the arch is so
far gone that the entire border rests
upon the ground with the inner ankle
lowered and very prominent and the
foot apparently pushed outward"
General Crowder states in his tele-
gram there would be less necessity for
the multitude of questions asked by
local boards if they would observe the
provision of the physical regulations
that physical deficiencies must be
present in such degree as to clearly
and Enthusiastically disqualify the man
for military service before he can be
found to be physically deficient and
not physically qualified for military
service"

FORMER SIBERIAN PRISONER
SAYS FIGHT no VICTORY

PETROGRAD, August 23-Marya
Spiridonoyo, famous from the Revolu-
ton Of 1905, has joined the ranks o.
women champions of war till victo-
ry." Mile. Spiridonovo, a nineteen
year-old student at a secondary school,
was so Mortified by the fogging Of
Tamboff peasants by Assistant Cover
nor Luzhenowsky, that she shot the
oppressor dead. She was arrested,
dragged from place to place in cat
tie truck, and tortured The gen.
darme officer who acted as jailer strip
ped her naked, and held burning
matches against her skin. Her case
provoked international protest.
Mile Spiridonovo has been in "ka-
torga," the most terrible form of penal
prison, and spent three years in chains.
After her release by the revolution,
she lay i'll in Tchita, East Siberia, the
Inhabitants of which invited her to
become a candidate for election as
mayor. On her way home to Europe,
thousands Of Siberians met and &C
claimed her at the railroda stations
and she replied by begging men to
fight for liberty, and begging the wo-
men to incite their husbands to battle.
Speaking at Omsk, she told deserter
soldiers that Americas entry into the
war should make them blush with
shame, as American liberationist sentir
ment had been a powerful factor in her
favor.

seem to be glad that the government
has fixed prices at the mines. The
presidents next step will be to fix
the percentage of profit the dealers
will be allowed to make. These two
executive orders will stabilize the
coal situation and enable dealers to
90 ahead with a degree of certainty.
President Wilson's scale of prices
fixed for coal at the mouth of the
mine is based on data compiled by the
federal trade commission, of which Mr.
Harris is the chairman.

BROOD SOW AND HER LITTER

Those who have long been engaged
in the breeding of swine know that
the newborn pig is the mainstay of
hog production. The much needed
expansion of the industry depends
largely upon the number and quality
of the pigs that are raised. Many
pigs are lost and many more are de-
veloped below their capacity because
of careless treatment during their
first weeks of life.
Happily, the late summer and fall
narrowing sows are usually in better
health and more vigorous than those
that gave birth TO spring filters, con-
sequently little trouble Is to be
feared. The run of lush alfalfa, clio
yer, and blue grass pastures and the
exercise obtained by foraging con
tribute most literally to an easy par
turition and a robust litter. The
greatest danger lies in the possibility
that the saw may smash her pigs
Thls misfortune Is not entirely pre-
ventable, but the following conditions
will reduce it to a minimum
/. Have the SOW in good physical
condition at parturition.
g. Give the SOW small feed of
shorts and skim milk slop for two
days before parturition.
3. In the narrowing pen place a
2x4-inch scantling eight inches from
the floor and six or eight inches from
the wall to prevent the SOW from ly-
ing too close to the wall.
4. Provide the SOW with a small
amount of clean bedding.
S. Be on hand during the act OF
"pigging" to lend assistance in cases
of abnormal presentations.
6. Remove the mucus from each
