LABELS FOR BOXES
COMING IN SLOWLY

Comparatively few labels for
Christmas boxes to be sent overseas
to the soldiers have been received
from them by parents and friends,
since few have been presented at the
Red Cross rooms the past week for
cartons in which to send the gifts.
Every soldier overseas was given a
label by the Red Cross, with instruc-
tions to send them home. The men
who had no relatives and friends to
whom to send them, gave their labels
to the officers, who, in turn, sent them
to the Red Cross here, and these men
will be taken care of, and ach will
receive a box at Christmas.
Since the labels have been coming
in slowly, mothers and others who
receive them next week may present
them to the Red Cross rooms for
boxes which will be given them. The
inspection of boxes will be conducted
next week from 10 to IL, and to 4:30
daily, at the Assembly Rooms, by
Mrs. Samuel Brooke, and her commit
tee. Those sending boxes are asked
to please bring stamps

NO BILLING FOR COAL
SHIPPED FROM MINES

Until official announcement shall be
made by the Federal Fuel Administra-
tion of the prices for anthracite which
it proposes to balance the large in
crease in wage scales which DR.. Gar
field last week stated became effect
i've November /. there will be no bill
ing of coal shipped from the mines on
and after that date, although coal will
continue to move forward. Instruc-
tions to that effect have been given
to all producers by the Anthracite
Committee of the U. s. Fuel Admins
tration.
The purpose is to protect both pro-
ducers and consumers of anthracite
Various guesses have been published
concerning the prices at which an
thracite will be sold under the higher
wage scales announced by DR.. Gar
field, but he has not yet announced
possible to know or say definitely what
the prices. In the mean time, it is inn
the prices will be.
Anthracite shipped prior to Novem-
b1A - 10 DOihe at IhO pAASSo
then current, and should be retailed
on that basis. The total of coal pro-
duced under the wage scales which
were in effect and either delivered or
in course of delivery to the trade and
so on to consumers, does not amount to
any very large tonnage, as current
production has been able to no more
than keep abreast of the demand.
Influenza has greatly reduced pro-
duction and continues to do so. The
u. S. Fuel Administration reports
that for two weeks it cut down the
output by II per cent. Taking the Au-
gust production of 1881 900 tons, as
about a maximum output under the
short labor conditions which have
prevailed, such decrease equals 1920
900 tons per month

MARVELLOUS SPUDS
GROWN IN BASKET

There was an exhibition at the Capt.
tai Office yesterday morning of Some
potatoes. They are a marvel as pota-
toes go, and their general appearance
suggests tubers, or roots of dahlias
and other tuberous roots.
These spuds have a history. inso-
much as they grew without having
been planted in earth. Some four and
five white potatoes, small in size are
encased in an outer skin, like the COW
ering of an old Irish potato. From
this covering or skin "eyes protrude,
and roots seem to be sprouting. There
are several of this queer-looking
specimen of potato that developed in
this manner from a lot of seed left in
an old basket in the cellar of the
home of Mr. Samuel Brooke, Murray
Hill Mr. Brooke had planted lot of
potato seed in his garden and the
queer looking tubers are those that
grew and developed as shown, from
the seed remaining in the basket, on
which there was no earth or dirt of
any kind At least a half peck grew
in this manner entirely out of the
ground, marvel of nature in the par
ticular potato line.

COAL PRICES
SOAR SKYWARD
Fuel Administrators Issues Schedule
To Meet Labor Increase

Information comes from Washington
that new prices for anthracite coal, re-
vised to meet increased labor costs,
were announced yesterday by Fuel
Administrator. Garfield, effective on
coal mined on or after November l.
AT that time approximately so per
cent of the estimated seasons supply
had been mined, and all of this, under
the Fuel Administrators order, will
be sold at existing prices.
The full power of penalty, under the
Lever law, as Garfield said, will be ex-
ercised to prevent the adding of any
allowance to any coal shipped on or
after November l on which tn in
creased wages were not paid.
The new schedule, which carries
without change the existing differen-
tial between large companies and the
individual operators, in favor of the
later, ranges for the white ash grade
from $3.50 a ton for companies and
s5.55 for individuals to S625 ton for
companies, and $685. for individuals,
depending upon the size, whether
broken. egg, stove, nut or pea.
Minimum prices for red ash grade,
according to size, are: For companies,
$3.50; individuals, s5.65 Maximum
prices, with stove and nut size identi-
cal: For companies. $3.50; individ-
uals, sos. For Lykens Valley grade
prices range from $5.15 for companies
and $3.50 for individuals to $3.50 for
companies and S7.45 for individuals.
Maximum prices for stove and nut size
of the Lykens Valley grade are iden-
teal.
The sizes comprise 706 per cent. of
the total anthracite output, according
to the Fuel Administrator statement.
Remaining anthracite sizes, cempris-
| ing 294 of the output, are nearly i'm
mobile at existing quotations. and no
price adjustment for them was made.
The new schedule, Dr. Garfield said.
includes only the actual additional
cost of a recent sterilization of an
thracite wages, which were found by
/ the conference of national labor adj
| justing agencies to be considerably be-
low the standard of wages paid in the
bituminous industry and in cores
ponding industries. Appeals by opera
tors for further increases to meet
losses now said to be incurred in vari-
Gus mining operations were disal-
lowed.

WOMAN'S SERVICE IN

The United States Railroad Admin
istration has organized a Woman's
Service Section of its Division of La
Dor to give consideration TO conditions
of employment of women on railroads
under Federal control Miss Pauline
Goldmark is manager of this section.
Recently the railroads were re-
quested to discontinue the employ
ment OF women as section laborers
and as truckers in freight depots and
warehouses. The administration re-
uuires that when women are en-
ployed their working conditions must
be healthful and fitted TO their needs,
The laws enacted for the government
of their employment must be OBJ
served and their pay. when they dc
the same class of work as men, shall
be the same as that of men"

LITTLE JIMMY HAPPY
IN HIS NEW HOME
Baby Finds Comfortable Home With
Kind Friends. Well Cared

Readers of the Capital some months
back will remember little Jimmie.
whose fateful story was published in
these columns.
Litty Jimmie is the baby who was
deserted by his mother when a few
weeks old. his father struggling as
best he could to care for the baby at
his humble home ia the country, near
Robinson's Station.
AT last the father found the care
of the baby too much for him, and he
appealed to the District Visiting
Nurse, who investigated the case. and
told the story to the Capital.
Little Jimmy was so thin and puny
when he was brought by his father
to Annapolis and taken to the Emer-
gency Hospital, that he had but little
chance. But care of nurses and doc
tors, and special interest in the little
motherless baby wrought wonderful
change, and he grew, and waxed
strong. gaining steadily in weight, and
the question then developed to find a
home for him.
This was an easy matter through
the columns of the Capital, in which
the story of little Jimmy was set
forth. There were dozen appli-
cants for the baby. and at last one
was carefully chosen. The father
signed in legal manner the right to
the child giving him to his foster par
ents, and Jimmy today is lovely boy.
He is walking, talking and has his
first teeth, and is in a comfortable
heme, where he is visited from time
to time by the Visiting Nurse who is
especially interested in the child.

ANNAPOLIS PEOPLES
SPECIAL PRIDE IN
CAPT. STARLINGS
CONTINUED from Page u

rifice She spoke of the unity among
The war organizations. and said it was
the first time in history all denomina-
lions had united. and that the sum
called Tor is the largest ever raised
by voluntary contributions; but the
cause, she said, is worthy of il.
Mr.. Harrison of the Y. NJ. c. A, was
the concluding speaker. He told OF his
interest in this neighborhood because
of his having started at s.. Johns 20
years ago. Then he told how the men
go over to France and how they are
amused and cared for on the way. He
described the way they are instruct
ed and assisted at the base ports, and
he told how they go up near the front
for the intensive training TO fit them
for the complicated and terrible life
of the front. Then he told of the ac-
tual fighting OF the long streams of
walking wounded finding heir way
back by white posts, and Of the stream
of stre.chers of the seriously hurt.
He told of the way these men are
cared for by the workers from the
seven organizations, how united they
are, and how Jews hold the Cross be-
fore tire eyes of the dying Catholics,
and all denominations forget their diff
ferences and remember only their mis-
sion of mercy and helpfulness. He
gave vivid picture of how the Amer
leans held the pivot while the British
and French squeezed the sides of the
salient that started the retreat that
has not yet ended. And his descrip-
ton of the Importance of American OPP
erations should fill Annapolis people
with special pride, for it was there,
in an engagement that was perhaps
as critical as any in the war. that an
Annapolis boy, Captain Paul S,arlings,
won the Legion of Honor for holding
post in the face of overwhelming
odds. Mr.. Harrison told how the
French people celebrated the Fourth
of July in France. How they buried
the men in flowers, and how the
French women wept for the Ameri-
can mothers who would suffer as they
had suffered, and, said he, shall we
think less of our boys than they did,"
The next meeting in aid of the Cam
paign will be on Sunday afternoon at
2:45, in the Colonial Theatre. Every
patriotic person in this district should
be there to pay tribute to our soldiers
for what they have done, and to hear
how they have conducted themselves
against the most deliberately trained
army in the world. This will be an
historic meeting, and nobody should
miss the chance of attending it.

CHEAP RATIONS FOR HORSES
Animals Performing Hard Work May Be Given Straw and Corn Stover
 in Limited Quantities.

CPrepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agriculture
 Cheap feeds, such as straw and corn stover. have place In the horse ra- tion. For growing colts and for horses doing hard work these roughages may be fed in limited quantities, supple mentary to a more nutritious ration.
 A caution is timely in regard to feed ing bulky roughages low in nutrients. Horses have comparatively small stomachs and their digestive anatomy is in no way suited to handle a great bulk of feed. Little nourishment is derived from pound of such rough age, and in maintaining hard-work- ing animal too great bulk of feed would necessarily be taken into the body. It Is therefore desirable to con- bine with a limited quantity of stover or straw sufficient legume hay, grain, or other nutritious feed to meet the in- dividual requirements of the horse. A small portion of some laxative feed, such as silage, roots, bran, or alfalfa, may well be included in ration con- taining large proportion of corn stover or straw.
 Cottonseed meal has met with con- siderable disfavor among horse feed CTS, but it may be fed in limited quan- titles if due care is exercised. It is

KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT
 EASILY RECOGNIZED
Applicants for Insurance Often
 Rejected

An examining physician for one of the prominent life insurance companies, in an interview of the subject, made the as- tonishing statement that one reason why so many applicants for insurance are re- jected is because kidney trouble is so com mon to the American people, and the large majority of those whose applications are declined do not even suspect that they have the disease.
 Judging from reports from druggists who are constantly in direct touch with the public, there is one preparation that has been very successful in overcoming these conditions. The mild and healing influence of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its remarkable record of success.
 We find that Swamp Root is strictly an herbal compound and we would ad- wise our readers who feel in need of such a remedy to give it trial It is on sale at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes, medium and large.
 However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. kilmer & Co.,, Binghamton, N Y., for a sample bottle. When writing be sure and SentIon this paper.-Adv.
