COAL SHORTAGE
HITSICE TRADE
Threatened Anthracite De-
ficiency Likely to Mean
Large Artificial Freezing
RAISE IN PRICES, TOO

The burning question confronting the ice
seriously threatening shortage of coal, for
to their misfortune II is a cold fact that
II is necessary TO burn coal to freeze ice.
lncongruous as IL may seem. the less coal
the less ice. for stores, restaurants, soda
fountains, ice cream manufacturers, milk
dealers and housekeepers,
Two years ago, Mr.. Gaerthe explains, ice
Franklnville Ice and Storage Company. one
of the largest ice manufacturing firms in
the city, with an ice plant at Hestonvile
reports that there Is danger of shortage
of coal and therefore a lack Of ice. which
Is already selling at an advance of twenty
five per cent over the price per 100 pounds
to the housekecper quoted two years ago.
The large ice manufacturers combine n
coal and ice business. for their large ice
plants need tons and tons of coal to keep
them running, pumping the brine and am
mona and supplying power for the various
mechanical rnits in connection with the
works.
Mr.. Gaertl e says his firm has been noti-
fed that 1t cannot have coal at any price,
and moreover, he adds that at the high
prices prevailing IL becomes impossible to
manufacture ice at a profit.
Two years ago Mr.. Gaerthe explains ice
was sold to the retailer by the manufac-
turer at from $3.50 to SO per ton and re-
| tailed to the consumer at forty cents per
100 pounds. Today he says the retailer Is
| paying $3.50 a ton and the housekeeper is
| giving fifty cents for n l00-pound cake.

Thus the plans Of the aircraft board of
the Council of National Defense, adopted
by the War Department and financed by
Congress, are in fair way to be speedily
consummated. There is no secret about
this policy, for it has been announced to
the world and no attempt has been made
to keep 1t from Germany 1t Is a simple
proposition and comprehends meeting the
German supremacy in undersea craft by
enforcing the supremacy of the United
States and the Allies in aviation.
II German airplanes can be driven from
the skies and kept away permanently, the
eyes of the German army will have been
put out. and military authorities believe
complete defeat then can be easily admin
istered.
American ingenuity and enterprise has
met and solved the problem. Automobile
motors. manufactured by some of the oldest
and best automobile manufacturers in the
country, have been adapted to the purposes
OF the Government and with successful re-
suits. The power has been generated, the
weight reduced and the reliability provided
which make these motors fill every require
ment, and even exceed the performances OF
the motors used abroad.

Him at Opening
KIRKSVILLE. Mo-. Aug. 6.

KIRKSV1LLE. Mo, Aug 6.
DIR. Andrew Taylor Still, the founder of
osteopathy, is elghty-nine years old today.
The American Osteopathic Association,
which convenes at Columbus O., will dedi-
cate the day to appropriate ceremonies In
his honor.
When Doctor Still first proclaimed his
theories in the seventies they were received
with little credence When he enunciated
such ideas as that disease in the bodily
organs was often caused by vertebrae be-
ing slightly displaced, causing pressure
upon the spinal nerves controlling the func-
ton of those organs, and that the adjust
ment of the vertebrae would relieve the
nerve interference and result in recovery
of the diseased organs, he was ridiculed
Today his theories have received a general
acceptance and his system of practice ac-
corded legal recognition by forty-six States
He is recognized as being one of humanity's
greatest benefactors.
