Coal Situation Has Been Serious

The supply of coal on hand by the
DEBORAH dealers was practically ex-
hausted the past week. One firm was
entirely out for several days On Mon
day they received big car of soft
coal and supplied their customers
with a ton or two each to run them a
few days. A good many cars are on
the way here, but the blockades have
held them up. Some big users of coal
have been burning half wood and
half coal to keep steam up. Coal was
never so precious here as it is this
winter. The weather has moderated
considerably now, and without doubt
this week will see several more cars
OF coal arrive here. The dealers have
done the best they could and have
kept the wires hot telegraphing to
find out where their cars were. The
coal situation is serious all over the
country and everybody will have to
be careful of their coal supply, If
they are fortunate enough to have
any to be careful Of

For the garden party and all the
rest of summertime's engaging oppor-
tunities for living outdoors some clev-
er hats and bags to match have been
made. They all take cognizance of
the fact that everywhere the lady goes
her knitting-bag goes, too, and 1t Is
getting to be as much an affair Of in
terest and Importance as the hat it
matches. With the introduction of mil
linery braids and laces in it's construc-
ton, we have summer knitting bags
different from anything that has gone
before. Knitting Is becoming a sort
of national pastime-the tired bust
ness woman and the woman of leisure
If there are such any mOre-declare
1t restful to the nerves. Anyway, it
is essential and must be attended to.
The novel bag shown In the picture
Is merely tube-shaped affair covered
with ribbon, lace and fancy millinery
braid-a companion piece to the frilly
midsummer hat that inspired it. 1t is
capacious and very chic-designed for
the woman who Is able to indulge in
little fancies and not recommended for
anyone else. There are plenty of
pretty bags that are more simply made

HALF LIFE TRAPPING
Aged Man Has Seen Many vicissi-
tudes.

Those who visited the mouth of the
Los Molm0s river canyon in California
during the winter saw the home of M.
l.. Smalling, who for forty years has
followed trapper's life.
With 300 steel traps, a repeating
rife and an acquaintance with every
thing wild, this man, whose eighty
fifth birthday was on March 8, has
trapped along the streams from the
Oregon line to Stockton for more than
four decades.
Smalling came to California In 1851.
Frontier life appealed to this young
man from the start. He trapped and
mined for seven years on Trinity river,
another seven years on Battle creek
and seven years along the Feather
river.
He always works nine hours a day.
and Is as spry as the average man of
forty or fifty years.
Smalling accounts for his perfect
health through his habit of spending
most of his life in a tent and living
close to nature.

USELESS MONEY IN BANKS
Have $4,000 They Do Not Know What
TO Do With.

Battle Creek banks have $4,000 In
cash on hand they don't know what to
do with.
The money really belongs to several
thousands Of men employed on Camp
Custer construction work who failed
to cash their checks. Porter Bros,
contractors, paid out checks weekly
and the government deposited cash to
cover them. Hundreds OF men left
camp daily with pay checks for small
amounts, and the sum of unclaimed
money grew all summer. Some OF the
checks uncashed amount to $50 or
more.
The government has no way to take
tt money back. Porter Bros. have no
legal claim on the money. And the
bank can't get rid of the money be-
cause there is still a possibility of the
checks showing up.

is AS FATAL AS WAR
tuberculosis Kills as Many as
Fall From Bullets.
Or. Livingstone Farrand Appeals to
People to Enter Battle Against
Disease.

New York.-MortaIlty from tuber-
culosls among the civilian population
and in the armies of all the countries
engaged In the war has at least ap-
proximated the total number of sol
diers killed in battle, according to DR..
Livingstone Farrand, director of the
American commission for the preve9-
ton of tuberculosis in France.
That the people of America throw
themselves into the winning of the
war against tuberculosis with the same
zeal with which they have hurled
themselves against the Hun is the bur
den of an appeal made by Doctor Far
rand on the eve of his return to
France.
ITO make our country really safe
we must first make it healthy is the
slogan Doctor Farrand suggests for
this war against disease.
Of the men called to the colors by
the first draft 10000 were found to be
tubercuiar. This is one of the striking
indications of the prevalence of the
disease.
while the war has thus effectually
disclosed conditions which existed be-
fore, rather than produced these condi-
tons, it is also true that in indirect
ways it has substantially increased the
tuberculosis problem in the European
countries involved" says Doctor Far
rand.
Il refer not to the situation In the
armies, where the mode of life often
tends to reduce this disease, but to con-
ditions which affect the civilian popu-
lation.''
Increased food, clothing and housing
costs necessitating, among the lower
wage groups, diminished quantity and
quality and their resultant undernutri
ton, are given as contributing causes.
A nationwide campaign against the
disease and for adequate provision for
rejected and discharged soldiers suf-
fering from 1t is planned through 1900
local societies of the National Tuber-
culOsis association.

AMEkICUS WOMEN
AND SOCIETY,

Americas women are observing the
patriotic spirit of the nation in their
social activities. Seldom before in
the history of the city have so few
social affairs been scheduled as al
this particular period. One lady, who
formerly was quite prominent in the
social d0lngs of Americas, said yes
terday she had gone into utter social
seclUsion, while numerous others
have recently resolved to attend no
affairs except those conforming
strictly With the patriotic spirit. One
we'll dressed lady, known widely in
Americus, attended a spend-the-day-
affair one day recently attired in a
simple Bingham frock, and others
abandon the wearing of silk stock
irgs along with other needless ex-
travagances. The wife of one Amer
icus' wealthiest citizens is doing
practically all her housework, in
Guiding portion of the washing, and
several are attending fiocks of poul-
Try and raising war gardens All OF
which is hard on the society report
err, for when women won't entertain,
she can't write.
We have no objection, however, we
would even be willing to suspend this
column altogether if by doing so we
could save the precious life of one OF
our boys fighting in France, or help
in any way to end the terrible war
now going on in Europe.

of materials that are seasonable all

suggests ways of using materials one
may have on band--for millinery is
often discarded before it shows signs
of wear.
It does not make much difference
what hats and bags are made of so
long as they are pretty and cleverly
made. What is called the "calico
vogue" has introduced calico. bingham,
cotton crepe, percale and other cottons
INTO the making of extra hats for mid
summer. They might all be cIassed as
garden hats-hut, like sport hats,
they go everywhere.
And everywhere is just the place to
find knitting hags~anyone who can
use needle can own one of these
matched sets. Silk cords and tassels,
narrow silk frinses and narrow lin

appropriately used with these smart,

BASIL MILKY |S IN
 CRITICAL CONDITION

Basil Wilky, son of Sheriff W. H. Wilky, who was attending an officers training camp at Salt Lake City, is not expected to live, according to wire re- ceived by the sheriff last night. He was stricken several days ago with Spanish influenza. His mother is at her sons bedside.
 Earlier in the day the sheriff re- ceived a telegram of a more hopeful nature Basil Wilky has been in the service only short time. He volun- teered out of his turn about a month ago in order to take advantage of the opportunity to attend Van officers training camp. He became of age a few days before the registration in Au- gust and, being anxious to get m the army, was among the first to register among the boys becoming of age after the draft in June.
 Frank Wilky, the sheriffs eldest son is now in service in France. Frank liked the service and, while at Camp Kearny, where he trained, he wrote | fascinating letters home. These and natural patriotism so enthused Basi that he lost no time in getting into the service after becoming of age. At that time the draft had not been extended tc boys of IS years of age.
