COAL MINES DOING THEIR BIT
Daily Output of Coal Breaks All Records
to Meet This Years Demands.

So much is being said about the short
age 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 records, that the state
ment just issued by the United States
geological survey, department of the in
terror, ON production in 1917 compared
with 1916 is particularly timely. In
commenting 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 fail
ure of the soft coal mines to produce
more coal than in the past, for the coun-
try on Sept. | was about month ahead
of last year in output and is expected
to finish the year with an increase of
10 per cent over 1916, the banner year,
and of 25 per cent over 1915.
The tremendous increase in manufac-
turing 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 produc
ton has increased. To meet this demand
the mines have been producing soft coal
at rate never before equalled. 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, l,63S,000 tons, was record |
ed; and in the last week of September
the daily rate was l,S23,000 tons. In |
the first eight months of 1917 the out |
put of soft coal was 1868, 100000 tons, or |
81 100000 tons more than in the first !
eight months of 1916. In the same pc
Rod shipments of anthracite increased l6
per cent over those of 1916
In the bulletin just issued by the geo
logical SURVEY, the figures of comparative
shipments regularly collected and shown
in part in the monthly and weekly re-
ports, are converted into tons of total
in order to satisfy the de-
nand for information on the part of
5hosel not familiar with the coal indus
.ry. The diagram of average daily pro-
iuction will hereafter be reproduced in
he weekly reports issued each Saturday,
md the diagram showing total produc-
ion will appear with the bulletins sent
nut the 18th of each month.

Keen interest in Orrine, the scientific treat
ment for the drink habit, now on sale at our

Yet this is not surprising when it is realized
that il can be given secretly at home with

stroys all desire for whiskey and other intox-
icants. 0rrine has saved thousands of drink

fund the purchase price if, after trial, it
