WANT EUROPEAN COAL COMMISSION
 ON DISTRIBUTION

Paris, Aug. 4, Monday-(By A. P.) Shipping and fuel representatives of France, Belgium and Italy, con ferred with Herbert Hoover, head of the International relief organization today and decided to urge the su- preme council of the peace confer ence to appoint European coal commission to coordinate the distri- button OF European coal in an effort to avert what threatens to be a dis aster.
 The meeting was held as a result of a warning given by Hoover in an address at the recent conference in London of the supreme economic council. He said that Europe's coal production was 35 per cent. below normal and that the United States could not offer relief because of the shortage of shipping. During his address Hoover said:
 "The fate of European civilization now rests in the hands of the coal miners and coal mine owners of Europe to an equal, if not to grea ter degree than in the hands of the providers of foodsa nd supplies dur ing the next year."
 At today's meeting Hoover de-
 
 rection of the proposed European coal commission, stating that he be- Eeved the problem to be strictly European and that the situation can- not be relieved materially by the slight help. which the United States can give.
 Hoover said to the fuel representa- tives of the various governments:
 ''The coal problem, with that of the approaching harvest and the so- lution of the immediate food press ure, come to the front as the great est menace to the stability of life in Europe. This problem Is domestic to Europe and is incapable of so1u- ton from the United States. Disre- garding all other questions an addi- tiona1 load of 100000 tons monthly on American ports would indeed be a large tax in the face of the treb- ling of the food exports of the United States above the normal pre- war level. Furthermore, such a ton mage would entail a tax on the worlds shipping which cannot but affect freight rates generally. With a shortage in production of 20,0OO.o0o tons per month, the contribution of even 100000 tons monthly from America would be of little import ance."
 Only a greater increased coal pro- duction and improved production for its distribution can save Europe from disaster next year, Hoover explained and urged that some sort of fuel con- trol be established which will greatly stimulate production and secure such distribution as will maintain essen tia1 services upon which economic and political stability must rest.
 According to figures gathered for Hoover by experts, England's annual production of coal has fallen some 292, 100000 tons in -1913 to 1S3-000-- 900 tons present production. Ger many's decline is slightly greater. Europe at the present rate, will pro- duce 443,0 100000 next year, while the amount needed is estimated at 614,- 369, 900 tons

MEXICO WILL, MAKE DRY ZONE
 ON BOUNDARY
Cabinet Member Proposes Such Move With U. s.
 Dry.

Mexico City. July 20. (Corrcspon- dence of the Associated Press )- Thirty residents of tho United States who hope to find an oasis in Mexico may be disappointed. A cabinet mem Der whose influence will be felt in drafting of dry regulations was re- gently quoted in The Excelsior as say ing that it may be necessary for the Mexican government to establish a dry" zone at least ten kiIometers deep along the entire length of the United States boundary.
 1ntimation is also given that the government is prepared to move inn nAcdiately against persons who are re- ported to be selling liquor to Ameri- cans, using Mexican territory as the base of operations.
 A question which is said to be giving officials here much concern is wh eth- CT United States brewers and distillers shall be allowed to transport their plants. together with their stock of goods, to Mexico. No official action has been taken on that phase of the question.
 Prohibition as nation wide mea- sure is commencing to attract atten- ton. General P. Elias Gales, gover- nor of the States of Sonora, recently revived several dry laws and an- nounced that they would be enforced. These regulations provide severe pun nishnent for persons convicted of the illegal sale of liquor. The legislature of the state ac Campeche has dis cussed "dry" measures for some time but it is improbable drastic action will be taken inasmuch as Governor Joa- quin Mucel has asked that instead of g. ''bone dry" law there be enacted measures regulating the manufacture and sale of intoxicantS.

 When he got back to the port, he said, he was glad he took such pre- cautions, because about ten ships. in- cluding some interned German liners. had been sunk, schooners thrown up- on dry land or battered to pieces, and 800 persons were killed. The storm was one of the worst which ever visited that vicinity.

FOR 29 YEARS
Mrs. Catherine CIarksOn Had
Suffered.
Gains Thirty Pounds by Taking
TanIac.

MY gam of thirty pounds in weight
during the past few weeks just speaks
volumes for Tanlac," said Mrs. Cath
crime Clarkson. ,resi1ing at 2440 Col
lege St, Kansas City, Mo, recently.
There has beer such pronounced
change in my condition." she con-
tinued, that my friends readily no.
tice it and speak of it. OF course, l
think my increase in weight is Won
derful and L am proud of it, but the
benefit I appreciate most is my relief
from suffering. l have been a victim
of rheumatism for twenty-nine years,
and only those afflicted the same way
can know the agony 1 suffered. Dur
ing damp weather and just before a
rain sharp pains would shoot all thru
my body, but it was in my knees l
suffered most. My right knee, eSpe-
cially. has been so swollen. stiff and
painful during the past two years
that ! could not bend it. L had TO
have a steel brace made to fit this
knee so L could walk around. The
ngaments and leaders were drawn
until my knee was out of shape, and
I have cried all night long many
night with pain. L have often thought
my rheumatism was caused by consti-
patton, as I have always been tro'1-
bled more or less in this way, having
to take something constantly 1 also
came very bad, and while just tried
everything, nothing gave me any re-
lief.
"One day I read statement made
by lady living on Prospect avenue.
telling how Tanlac had relieved her of
rheumatism. so 1 began taking the
medicine myself. 1 am just now on
my fifth bottle and considering the
length of time l have suff .~ed, the re-
suits have been remarkable The rheu-
matte pains have disappeared almost
entirely, and l do believe TanIac is
going to clear my system of it alto
gether. L have been told that my
right knee never would be any bet
ter, but L can bend it some already.
and the pain is entirely gone. I have
also been relieved of constipation, my
appetite is fine and l am feeling better
in every respect than have in many
years. So 1 don't feel that 1 could
say enough in praise of Tanlac. 1t
certainly is grand medicine
