7 I AS the average coal miner of
- American antecedents a
chance to rise from pick and
shovel work to something
better? Can he. while working in the
mines. carry through course of
study that will At him for more re-
sponsible-even if no better paid
employment? If the story of J. w.
Bischof, general superintendent of
the West Virginia Coal and Coke
Company, means anything. he can.
A few years ago-for he is still a
young man, in his early forties-J. W.
Bischoff was digging coal in the
mines near Elk Garden. w. Va. and
receiving so cents ton for the work.
Today he is general superintendent
of the score or more of mines oper-
ated by his company near Elkins.
w Va, after having paid his own
way out of his own earnings as a
miner, through the University Of Ohio
school of mines and graduating as a
mining engineer.
In his efforts to obtain an education
he had no one on whom to depend but
himself. because his parents were not
able to do much. When he was dig
ging coal the West Virginia fields
were not organized. and the operators
paid as little as they could Nor
were there any age limits-at least.
none that were lived up to-and boys
could go to digging as soon as they
were able to swing a pick. So Bisch-
off started work when he was fifteen
years old.

from his Sketchy remarks il was pos
ibIe to obtain a fair idea of what il
meant. 1t meant getting up long
before anybody else was stirring; il
meant sticking TO work in working
hours-and they were long those
days-and getting i'll full days
work nearly every working day in the

a program of saving money and por-
ing over books: il meant self-denial
of the kind that Lincoln used to prac-
tice. And in the end ii meant edu-
cation, professional training and the
ability to take hold of and master
the problems that face the general
superintendent of big coal mining
company. and the ability to handle
man as well as problems.

BENEFIT. Of Naval service.

Reports have been received at the
Navy Department of studies made at
the big naval training stations at
Great Lakes Illinois. and Pelham Bay
Park, New York. of the effect of rou-
tine training and the navy ration on
physical development. At Great Lakes
500 men examined for discharge
showed an average increase in weight
of So pounds, and an average chest
circumference TX greater than when
they entered the service Biceps were
found to be three-fourths of an inch
larger and waist lines showed an av-
erage reduction of nearly an inch.
At Pelham Bay Park also it was
noted that in general the men exam
ined for discharge had improved ma
terially in physique since their entry
as recruits. Nearly all had gained in
weight, the gain in some cases run
ming as high as thirty-three pounds.
Several men who had lost in weight
had been benefited thereby, as they
had come in soft and fiabby and had
gone out bard and fit. A large major
ity of the men had had foreign serv-
ice. 1t appeared that those who had
been stationed in England, Ireland
and Scotland gained less than those
who had served in France, and those
in France less than those stationed
in the United States or on board
ships.

Promotion Policy to Continue.

Secretary Daniels has decided TO
continue the war policy of promoting
enlisted men in the Marine Corps to
commissioned rank. In a recent com
munication he praised the work of
several officers raised from the ranks
and said that it justified a continu-
ance OF that policy. He directed that
additional officers be commissioned
for service in the aviation branch of
the Marine Corps and that special
grades be established for enlisted
men. The present strength of the
Marine Corps is 27.467 officers and en-
listed men, or 20 per cent Of the en-
tire naval personnel.

Value Of Typhoid ProphyIaxis.
According to Surgeon General Ireland
of the Army. the great value of typhoid
prophylaxis was demonstrated practi-
cally during the world war. He says
that during 1917-191S there were 1883
cases Of typhoid fever and 1853 deaths
therefrom in the Army. and adds that
if the admission rate for that period had
euualed that if 1S61-1S62 in the civil war
there would have been ee6: oO1 cases and
1854 deaths. Had rates been the
same as for 1s9S-1899 in the Spanish
war there would have been 291,637
cases and 3O,916 deaths.
In 1909 voluntary vaccination was
begun against typhoid in the Army
and the case ratio per thousand of
strength was. 3.03. with a death
rate per thousand Of .2S. By 1911,
when prophyIactic vaccination was
made compulsory the rate per thou
sand dropped to .s5. with CORE
spending drop in death rate, and for
1915 the admission rate had declined
to .0S per thousand and no deaths. In
1918 there were 76S cases in the en-
which was even less than for 1917
when the figure was "A. Admissions
for typhoid in the United States in
1918 were less than for troops in
France.

HouO to Keep Age-Lines
and Wrinkles AlUay

Don't forget that the woman who
smiles will have a skin more free from
wrinkles than the woman who frowns
When wrinkles begin to appear 1t is a
good plan to battle the face once a day
for awhile in harmless solution made by
dissolving an ounce of powdered saxolite
In half pint of witch hazel.
This is remarkably effective in erasine
the hateful lines, not only because of its
astrtngent action which tightens the skin
and thus irons out the lines but also be-
cause of a helpful tonic effect which i'm
proves capillary circulation and nerve
tone; There is nothing better for f1abby
cheeks or chin. Be sure to ask the drug
gist for the powdered saxolite
