NEW PLAN TO
HURRY PRODUCTION
OF BITUMINOUS COAL

Washington, Aug. l6.-The fuel
administration announces the ap-
pointment of % production man
ayers, one for each of the coal pro-
ducing districts of the country.
Each manager will have charge of
the campaign for increased produc-
ton in his district and to him to
production committee being formed
at the majority of the bituminous
mines will report. Each production
committee will consist of six mem
bers, three representing the mine
management and three representing
the workers.
In cases where a mine is failing to
produce the maximum tonnage, it
will be up to the production commit
tee to ascertain the cause and insti-
tute improvement.

Thin PEOPLE

Judging from the countless prepara-

ually being advertised for the purpose
of making thu people fleshy, develop
ing arms neck and bust, and replacing
ugly hollows and angles by the solt
curved lines of health and beauty,
there are evidently thousands of men
and women who keenly feel their eX-
cessive thinness.
Thinness and weakness are usually
due to starved nerves. our bodies
need more phosphate than is contained
in modern foods. Physicians claim
there is nothing that will supply this
deficiency so wlel as the organic phos-
phate known among druggists as bitro.

is sold by most all druggists under

This increase in weight also carries
with it Il general improvement in the
health. Nervousness, sleeplessness and
lack of energy which nearly always
accompany excessive thinness, soon
disappear, dun eyes become bright, and
pale cheeks glow with the bloom of
perfect health.
CAUTION: Although bitro-phos-
phate is unsurpassed for relieving
nervousness, sleeplessness and general
weakness, it should not, owing to its
remarkable flesh.growing properties, be
used by anyone who does not desire
to put on flesh.

BUILD 130-MILE RAIL
ROAD IN FRANCE IN
LESS THAN 100 DAYS

Paris, Aug. 10 (Havas Agency
A railway more than l30 miles in
length behind the French front has
been built in less than 100 days and
yesterday was opened for traffic. Its
purpose is to improve communica-
ton between the northern and
southern parts of the northern rail-
way system. The construction in
volved the building of two import
ant bridges and tunnel 675 yards
in length. Premier Clemenceau and
Albert Claveille, minister of public
works, were present at the opening.

mier, as working until the day when

THE ARMY OF THE RHINE

One of the most significant re-
ports from France tells of the or
ganization OF an army OF the
Rhine" The kaiser is said to be with
drawing, from various sectors OF the
western front. picked men OF proved
loyalty, to the number OF half a
million, to constitute a rock-wall OF
defense. They are TO take their
stand back OF the Rhine, ready to
repel invasion whenever the Allies,
in their progress, come to that ma
tural barrier.
If the report is trustworthy, II
means that the German command
has already recognized the turn OF
the tide, and given up hope OF any
thing more than a desperate last
stand on German soil. This half
million men are sorely needed on
the battle front, as is evidenced by
the German defeat in Picardy, fol-
lowing close upon the disasterous
failure of the Marne drive. II the
most effective fighters are now
Withdrawn from a front already un-
able to hold the Allies, there will
be a sure and rapid acceleration OF
the German retreat. The Huns may
be driven from France and Bel
gium more quickly and easily than
the most hopeful observers have
anticipated
In any event, such develop
ment is bound to come sooner or
later, next year very likely, if not
this. That defensive army will con
stitute a new Watch on the Rhine"
1t may be expected to stand brave
", according TO historic precedent.
1t may prove costly to us, for the
forces now nearest the Rhine, in
Alsace and Lorraine, are largely
American, and it will be chiefly
Americans who drive forward into
interior Germany when the great
moment comes.
Those Americans will so ahead
just the same, crossing the Rhine
as they have already crossed the
Marne and the Nesle, asking nothing
better than to face the kaiser's best
on German soil, as they have al
ready faced and worsted it in
France.

READY FOR SCHOOL.

One OF the important matters to
be considered in August by every
family with children in school is to
see that the children are i'll proper
physical condition before the ses-
sion opens. Each child should be
given thorough going-over by the
family physician two or three weeks
before school begins. He should
be asked whether he thinks the child
needs an examination by an oculist,
and if so, he will recommend 4
reliable oculist. More ills are
wrought by eyestrain than most
dream of
The family doctor will also advise
whether there are tonsils or adenoids
which should be removed. or any
other special difficulty which needs
attention.
That there should be a family
dentist as well as physician hardly
needs be stated in these days. AT
least twice a year each child's teeth
should be looked at by the regular
dentist, who will do the little neces-
sary to prevent much dentistry
later.
This will cost little money. But
il will save much more. And It Is
well to remember that it is not the
competent practitioner who over
charges. The reliable man is worth
his fee, and he sees TO It that you
get your moneys worth. 1t is only

BRITISH TROOPS FIGHT
BOLSHEVIKI IN NORTH
BUT ARE ALLIES SOUTH

London, Aug. l6.-In connection
with the arrival OF the British at
Baku, it comes to light that the gar
rison consisted largely of bolsheviki,
who with Armenians, were opposing
the Turks. Thus the British while
fighting the bolsheviki in the north,
are cooperating with them in the
south.
Aside from the Caspian operations
there has been movement OF Brit
ish troops from India to Turkestan.
These passed through Baluchistan
and eastern Persia and joined forces
with the Turcomans, Bokharans,
and local revolutionaries who are
fighting the bolsheviki.
The British are also guarding the
trans-Caspian railroad to prevent
the enemy from gaining access to
Afghanistan and the Indian frontier
