IN FIVE MINUTES
 NO SICK STOMACH,
 INDIGESTION, GAS
"Pape's Diapepsin" is the quickest and surest Stom-
 ach relief

You don't know what upset your stomach-which portion of the food did the damage-do you? Well, don't bother. If your stomach is in a revolt; if sick, gassy and upset, and what you just ate has fermented and turned sour; head dizzy and aches; bech gases and acids and eructate undigested food; breath foul, tongue coated-just take little Pape's Diapepsin to neutralize acidity and in five minutes you wonder what became of the indigestion and distress.
 Millions of men and women today know that it is needless to have dys- pepsia. A little Diapepsn occasionally keeps the stomach sweetened, and they eat their favorite foods without fear
 If your stomach doesn't take care os your liberal limit without rebellion, if your food is damage instead of help remember the quickest, surest most harmless antacid is Pape's Diapepsin. which costs only fifty cents for a large case at drug stores. It's truly wonderful it stops food souring and sets things straight so gently and easily that it is really astonishing. Your stomach will digest your meals if you keep acids neutralized.-Ady.

| 1t is properly burned. It has a high
 heating value and is regarded as inc l best for naval use This was not the ! opinion of the late Admiral Bob Evans. | He preferred anthracite, and advocated | that the government should reserve .he
 entire anthracite field of Pennsylvania 1 for the purposes of national defense He | wrote an article abolt III the North 1 Amerit an Review, in which he said
 | Anthracite is the ideal fuel for Amer | ican naval purposes. It makes no smoke, | and smoke is the teltale signal which | betrays the warship." Admiral Evans | said that Admiral Dewey came near ios- ing his battle of Manila bay because he
 had soft coal in his furnaces. He chose ] the night for coming into the bay, think- 1 ing that the darkness would disguise ihs approach and conceal from the enemy ire dense clouds of black smoke emitted oy his ships. Nevertheless at the critical moment one of his vessls spouted up blasts Of flame and drew upon her the fire of the great guns on Corregidor Island. at the mouth of the bay. This
 was the little Mccullough, which was at the rear of the fleet It was fortunate
 that she had that position and that all the fighting ships had passed beyond
 the range of the fort before she hung her fiery warning out in the skies.
 And this brings us to the coal we
 are using today Our consumption has
 rapidly increased since the war began,
 and to supply the demand of next year
 we ought to mine and ship half again
 as much coal as We mined in 1914 The amount we should have for ourselves and for export is said to be 75O, 900 O0J tons. We mined more than G00,0O0 GOO tons last year, and, otwithstanding the shortage over the country, our output is now greater than ever before Not only do we need more coal for our fac tories on account of the day and night speeding up for the war but something like 15o,000Oo0 tons of coal could be prof itably used by our allies, and especially Italy and France, which are now in the throes of a coal famine We need more tons for the navy and a great deal is required for the ships which carry sup plies from this country to France
 It is interesting to see where our coal goes. Only about one-fifth or one-sixth of the whole is used for heating our houses, hotels, schools and office build ings of one kind or other. We now con- sume annually about 1oo,O0o,ooO tons for
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-02-03

There are Jco,OO00o0 tons of anthracite in
 the Rockies, and that part of the coun-
 try has plenty Of good soft coal as well The amount runs high into the billions of tons. It includes more than one | fourth of the bituminous coal of the l United States and that means coal that | will make steam and can be used to make coke.
 There gre about 11,eoO,0Ooo0o tons of | good soft coal m Oregon, Washington and California and something like 45,0oo. 000,0o0 tons Tn the northern part Of the great plains. All of that coal is good 1 fo1 steaning, and this means that those regions will sometime become industrial centers
 | Our greatest deposits of bituminous | coal lie in the Mississippi basin and the Appalachian mountains. It is from those l regions that we have gotten the coal supply of the past and from there cones the bulk of the coal of today. The Appa- lac hian mountain region has a great bed of soft coal which begins in Pennsyl- vania and Ohio and runs south through Kentucky West Virginia, Tennessee and Alabama, almost to the Gulf of MeXi- co. That bed has some of the best coal of the world, and there is enough of it to supply all the industries of the east for hundreds of years. So far we have 1ltL lIliUeu more ludu OiiC-tCiiti VI 'Ni and there is still in the neighborhood or 5o0.0O OOO,0 GOO tons within 5000 feet of the surface.
 As to our Anthracite coal, which lies
 in northeastern Pennsylvania, We have
 not used more than one-fourth of the
 whole. At the time the mines were dis- covered the deposits contained some
 thing like 100000 900 tons and there is still more than 17,OO0,0O0,0OO within 3OoV
 feet of the surface
 1t is the anthracite coal which more
 than anything else is causing our pres
 ent congestion of freight and indirectly the coal famine The coal is about the
 best of the world as far as domestic use
 is concerned. 1t has great heatinp
 value and it burns without smoke The
 result is we all want anthracite and the
 freight clogs the railroads. The fuel af- ,nlinistration is urging the people to use less anthracite and to get their supplies
 from the bituminous coal fields nearby.
 We are now using a large amount of
 semi bitumnous coal for the navy This
 coal is of higher graGe than bitunli-
 nous coal. and 1t is almost smokeless ii

Washington, D. c. I1T7 HE age of muscle fighting has passed. The age of machine S fiebtipe- l,ac ba1uu This war

Washington, D. C. C1TJ HE age of muscle fighting has
 passed. The age of machine
 fighting has begun. This war Is being waged by machinery, and in machine fighting the greatest of assets is coal The war is not con fined to the battlefield. For every sol dier sent to the front there are 10 be- hind the lines They are to be found in our steel mills, our machine shops, our munitions factories and in the many other great industries which give us our supplies. All of these are based upon coal, and if wars are to continue and nation is to fight to the death against nation, the nation that will finally survive is the one that has the most coal.
 On that basis let us see where we stand. In order to give you the best information I have gone over the sit uation with the experts of the fuel administration and the geological sur vey. They have been studying the re- sources of the United States and can tell us just where we stand. They know about every coal field in Eu rope. and they know about all the coal deposits on this big, round earth.
 According to estimates made by the International geological congress which met in Toronto, Canada, just before the war began, the whole world has altogether just about 5000 billion tons of coal and of that this United States has more than one-half. Three -fourths of all the coal upon earth is sto be found in the North American conti- nent. and the bulk of that outside the United States belongs to our Can adian allies. They have just about one- fourth as much as we have. The con- tinent of Europe has only one- sixth as much coal as North America and only about one-fifth much as our country. The whole of Asia has only one-third $ much coal as we have, and Australasia and Africa put togeth- CT have less than one-sixteenth of the coal reserves of the United States, It will thus be seen that as far as coal is concerned, we could fight the who.c world and have billions of tons of fuel left after the supplies of all the oth- CT nations have been exhausted Dr. Charles G. Gilbert, curator of the bu- reau of mineral technology of the Ma ticnal Museum of Washington, has prepared a graphic coal exhibit of the resources of the United States and the world. He has made blocks showing the proportionate amount of coal in the various countries and 1t rejoices one's soul to see how our great block could swallow that of any other coun- try on earth and leave a vast space around the edges.
 The whole is practical illustration of our industrial future It Shows that North America for the next few thou sand odd years must be the industrial center of the world and that the Uni tde States must forever be the heart of that center. As for the coal famine of today, that Is a temporary matter It is due to not getting the coal out of he ground. and the war troubles in
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-02-03

that purpose and this includes both an tnracite and bituminous coals.
 The great bulk of the coal is used for industrial purposes. About 70 per cent of it went to the making of steam in 1915. and of this one-third was used by the industrial steam plants. We used about one fourth of all the coal mined for running the railroads. and we burned something like 100000 tons in the coke ovens to get the materials for smeltins our steel. There has been a steady in- crease in the demand for soft coal since the. war broke out and our output has gone up with the demand In 1915 it was 20,009,G00 tons more than the year pre- ceding and in 1916 that increase had trebled. It again increased in 1917, and there undoubtedly will be a great in crease this year. According to Dr. c. E, Lester, the coal expert of the United States Geological survey, we need ton and half of coal to make the coke for every ton of pig iron we produce. so that the increased demand for steel will necessitate the use of vast deal more coke.
 Indeed, the industrial demands of the war are increasing our production of coal as never before. We have mined almost 100000 tons of coal daily lHTOuSHOul tHt pdSC year. The IOJdl amount has been in the neighborhood of $40, 000,0oO tons, or enough, at 50 tons to the car. to make Is solid trains of coal reaching from San Francisco to New York and thence across the Atlantic ocean to where our soldiers are fighting in France, with several thousands of miles of coal cars to spare. Of that coal 550, ,000,000 tons were bituminous, the greater part of which was used for our industries and the railroads. About 90 00o,O00 tons of it was anthracite, some of which was employed in manufactures but great deal for heating our houses The most of the coal was used in indus- trial centers. and more per square mile in Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio and Maryland than anywhere else.
 The coal experts say that the question of a famine in coal is largely one of in sufficient transportation facilities We have enough mines open and new mines could easily be brought in if necessary so as to keep pace with our needs. We have an industrial army of coal soldiers of almost three quarters of a million, and it is important that this force should not be further reduced by the draft. Ac-

may be more valuable in the future. saw something of the coal fields dur ing my recent trip to Alaska and have talked about them with Dr. Alfred H. 1 Brooks, who las spent more than 15 years exploring the territory and who knows more about geology than any other man upon earth IIe' says a low estimate of tEe coal we have there would be 150,000, 000,050 tons, which is just about 251 times as much as the coal we used in l9lI or course. a great part of the Alaskan coal does not compare in quality with that we now mine. but the terri tory has great beds of good Ncoa' and the railroad has already reached the Matan- uska fields, which have fuel. fit for the navy
 And now let me tell you something about the coal we have in the United States proper and just where it lies. Our deposits here are about the best upon earth There is none that compares in extent and heating qualities with the anthracite bed of northeastern Penn sylvana, and we have the Poc,shontas and ether bituminous coals. which are fully as good, if not better. than the famous Cardiff coal of England, which has been the chief steaming coal since the lime steam began to be used. We have every grade of coal from this costly hlgh-rov eied anthracite down to the lig- rite or brown coal, which the Germans are making into briquettes for their railroads The fuel administration fs urging that we buy our coal from the. mines neareat us, and that we do not use fuel that requires a long haul The fact is coal reauires more cars than anything else on the railroads. It constitutes 35 per cent of all the freight carried, and in the eastern part of our country it amounts to more than B per cent of the tonnage "'e are now carrying three tons of coal 10 every ton of farm products, and this is so notwithstanding coal is mined in 25 states of the union. There is scarcely a place in the United States farther away from a coal mine than a day or so by fast freight.
 It will surprise many to know that the great bulk of our coal lies west of the Mississippi river and that the most of it is in the northern half of the great plains and n.Jhe Rocky mountains. The Rocky mountains have more coal than all Europe and the good coal of the great plains is three times that of Germany.

cording to John P. White, the president Of the United Mine Workers, there is now a shortage of 25,O00 miners in the anthracite fields, and the shortage in the bituminous fields of Pennsylvania, Ohio Indiana and Illinois is more than 30.000 There has been a falling off of labor in the West Virginia coal district. and if these decreases continue the famine in coal will grow worse than ever. a Copyright, 1918, by Frank c.
