SHOULD STORE YOUR COAL
To The Editor:

10 Inc Editor:
The people of Missouri are not stor-
ing coal as rapidly as the emergency
demands it should be stored.
Despite repeated warnings, there is
an apparent Indifference upon the part
of many consumers, and the many
thousands who have not yet placed
their orders should be made to realize
their duty in this important matter.
1t is true that dealers are not fill
ing all orders promptly because of
difficulty in securing certain grades
of coal at this time, but this should
not deter the consumer from placing
his order-and until this is done he
has failed in his patriotic duty.
There will be no further shipment
of Pennsylvania Anthracite to Mis-
souri,. This is final and authoritative.
Users of hard-coal base-burners must
either burn coke, or Arkansas Anthra-
cite, or change the stove bowls so that
soft coal may be burned. Otherwise
there is no alternative except to set
the base-burner aside. This is one
of the sacrifices we must make in sup
port of the government war program.
Your people must be content with
what coal they can get, and as many
Missouri and Kansas mines, also ILL
nois mines, are not operating full
time for lack of orders, / hope you
will urge the public to ask for the
coal that is available and secure it at
the earliest opportunity.
There is a shortage in production
that cannot possibly be overcome, but
the situation may be less serious, in
proportion to the amount of coal
placed in the bins of consumers dur
ing the summer.
Will you join the State Fuel Adj
ministration in laying this matter be-
fore the people and in warning them
against the consequences of their
own neglect? Will you also, if there
is wood fuel available in your locali-
ty, insist that whenever possible,
wood should take the place of coal?
Yours very truly,
WALLACE CRoSSLEY,
State Fuel Administrator.

WE MUST MAKE GOOD JUNE rs

The world knows how splendidly
sincere England, France and Belgium
have been in this war. No sacrifices
of blood, of treasure, or of comfort
have been too exacting for the brave
men and women of these countries
which for four years have borne the
brunt of German hate, crime and cru
city.
We all know they will go on to the
bitter end. We know they will con-
tinue to make supreme sacrifices. We
know that their splendid heroism will
meet the bitterest demands that the
war may make.
We all know that America is solid
ly united; that the men, women and
children of this country will do all
within their power to eliminate au-
tocracy and end the reign of Hunism.
Our homes are not in ruins, our
fields are not ravaged, our women and
children have not been slaughtered
or enslaved. We at home have not
given up any of our luxuries or me-
cessities. We are spending money
freely, INDUCING comforts and lux
uries on unprecedented scale.
The time, however, has come when
the people of Missouri must make a
supreme effort and help our boys in
France by subscribing for $50, 600, 900
worth of War Savings Stamps. Our
quota is $71,000,000 but already we
have raised $21 ,00O,0 This money
is needed as badly as the money we
subscribed for the three Liberty
Loans and for the Red Cross. Every
loyal American who is sincere in his
patriotism will sign pledge card on
June 28th.
Let US pledge cheerfully, willingly,
proudly and gratefully.
Unless the people of America can
show that they stand resolutely and
united behind the government, the
army and the navy, the cause of the
Allies may suffer setback.
By pledging to save during the re-
naming six months of the year, and
to invest as much as possible in War
Savings Stamps, America will prove
to the murderous Prussians that in
dividuaily every American is willing
to make a personal sacrifice for VIC
tory. There is no doubt in my mind
but that we will over-subscribe our
quota when We make our final pledge
drive on June 2Sth.
Missouri has never fallen down
when asked to help sustain our coun-
try. My colleagues, however, should
rember that the task of obtaining
$50, 100000 worth of pledges in sin
gle day is not an easy one, and each
country must muster willing workers,
who will unite their energies and nut
us "over the top" on June 28th.

Director for Missouri.

SOUR STOMACH

This is a mild form of indigestion.
1t is usually brought on by eating too
rapidly or too much, or of food not
suited TO your digestive organs. If
you will eat slowly, cat but little
meat and none at all for supper, you
will more than likely avoid the sour
stomach without taking any medicine
whatever. When you have sour stom-
ach take one of Chamberlain's Tab
lets to aid digestion. Obtainable ev-

U. S. WILL TREAT ITS TU-
BERCULAR SOLDIERS FREE

Washington, d. c., June 16.--Legis
lation providing treatment in arm,
hospitals for discharged soldiers o.
the National Guard and Nationa
Army, suffering with tuberculosis
will be offered to the house soon by
Representative Igoe of st. Louis
either in the form of an amendment
to present laws or recommendation
to the House Committee on Military
| Affairs.
Necessity for this legislation was
suggested to Igoe by Surgeon General
Gorgas when the St. Louis Congress
man consulted with the head of the
Medical Department about the report.

discharged soldiers who were suffer
ing from the disease.
1t was brought out in the confer.
ence that vast preparations are being
made by the Government to provide
treatment for soldiers afflicted with
tuberculosis Four tuberculosis hos.
pitfalls now are in operation and -four
more are under construction.
Four Hospitals in Operation.
The four now in operation are in
widely separated parts of the country
one at Fort Bayard, N. M; one al
Waynesville, N. c.; one at New Ha.
ven, Conn.,, and one at Markleton, Pa
The four under construction are al
Asheville, N. c.; Denver, Colo Whip
pie Barracks, Ariz., and Otisville, N
Y. It is understood that the construc-
ton of other hospitals of this nature
are contemplated.
1t was the opinion of General Cor
gas that the soldiers that Representa-.
tive Igoe asked about had been dis.
charged upon request at time when
it was not the policy to treat such
cases except when resulting in the
line of duty or they were drafted men
who had been later rejected owing ia
the discovery that they had tubercu.
losis.
Guardsmen Are Shut Out.
The policy now, General Gorgas
said, was to treat all tuberculosis sol.
diers regardless of the length of ser.
vice or whether the disease was con.
tracted in the line of duty. Hereto.
fore it has been left to the soldiers tc
decide whether they shall 90 to a san.
itorium for treatment, but now they
are required to take such treatment
as long as the soldier can be benefited
by it
When given preference, Gen. Cor.
gas said, soldiers usually preferred
discharge to hospital treatment, be-
ing unwilling to submit to the neces.
sary restrictions imposed at SAM
tarium.
In the case of discharged soldiers
according to present regulations. only
the regular army men are entitled t.
treatment in army hospitals. Dis
charged men from the National Guarc
and National Army cannot be admit
ted to one of the branches of the Ma
tional Home for Disabled Volunteer
Soldiers, of which there are four, on,
in South Dakota, one in Tennessee
one in Ohio and one in California.
1t is to remedy this prohibition ant
open the doors of army hospitals t,
discharged soldiers of the Nationa
Guard and National Army for treat
ment of tubercular cases that Repre-
sentative Igoe proposes to offer al
amendment to the present law.

CIVIC LEAGUE

We are told by eminent physicians
from all over the country that the
coming months are fraught with pos
sibilities, that to say the least are
alarming.
Our shifting population (made so
by the unusual conditions brought
about by the war; will inevitably be
the means of spreading disease and
death in every direction, unless I'M
usual sanitary precautions are taken.
We know that unsightly weeds,
stagnant water and marshy places
breed disease, and that typhus and
malaria are the results of these nui-
sances. Virulent smallpox flourishes
in dirt and filth.
1t behooves us in Pennington to
awaken to the absolute necessity of
sanitary precautions. We would be
mortified if that scourge, infantile pa
ralysis, should come to us this sum-
mer, through our negligence in regard
to screening food-stuffs.
New York last summer paid a
costly penalty in the deaths of many
children. We are told that this d.
sease, infantile paralysis, actually was
the result of the filthy fly leaving its
deadly infection in meats, vegetables
and frafts.
We have beautiful little city-a
veritable gem, in it's setting of lovely
hills, but we are careless in regard
to these vital matters. Every woman
in Pennington should belong to the
Civic Club. This organization is try
ing, through its members, to have the
city ordinances obeyed; in fact, is try
ing to make Harrington the City
Beautiful, the City Healthful.
The Club meets the first Thursday
in every month at the Library at 3
o'clock. The membership fee is 81 per
year. THE CIVIC CLUB.

VELVET BEANS SOLVE
SOUTH'S FEED PROBLEM

The feed question is being solved in
many parts of the South by abundant
yields of velvet beans which were
sown on large acreage this year.
Owing to the increased acreage in
Georgia. that State alone could take
care of 10000 to 100000 head Of cat
tie from States where forage is
scarce, according to report recently
received by the Bureau of Crop Est-
mates. Large quantities of last years
velvet beans also remain on hand and
are being used extensively in feed
ing dairy cattle. In tests conducted
by the United States department Of
Agriculture on the Government farms
at Beltsville, Md, it was found that
velvet beans compare favorably with
cotton-secd meal, producing profitable
gains when the beans are the sole con
ccntrate of the ratio; that a combina-
tion Of corn silagc and velvet beans
forms satisfactory ration for fattcn-
ing steers for market; that it is more
profitable to feed soaked beans than
1t is to grind them; and that more
beans will be eaten If soaked before
they are fed than if they are fed dry.
