Mhu Coke Is Good Fuel.

Coke does not give quite as much
heat per ton as high grade anthra-
cite coal; but in many instances the
average grade of coke is available at a
lower cost per ton than high grade
anthracite, and as a special induce
ment some dealers give a few hundred
pounds extra per ton of coke. In this
case the purchaser of a ton of coke
viii realize about the same efficiency
IN total heat units as if he had p,T-
chased a ton of anthracite, says the
Scientific American.
Coke weighs about % pounds per
cubic foot for standard size, while
anthracite coal weighs 80 pour. Is. per
cubic foot. 1t viii. therefore. be seen
that a ton of coke will require almost
twice the volume or cubic feet of stor-
age space that ton Of anthracite coal
requires.

ALWAYS MATTER OF POLITICS
Why Presidency of the United States
Has Been Described as
Web of Fate.

The presidency has been described
as a web of fate, because men in office
have either assisted friends of theirs
into the White House, or been com
PEELED to bow low before the political
drives of bitter enemies.
But before George Washington was
named president despite his many
enemies between the call to arms in
ITS and the establishment Of the
Constitution-fou men were virtually
the presidency of the United States,
says William Estabronk Chancellor in
his book on Our Presidents and Their
Office" They were not individually
presidents, but in combination they
operated somewhat as president
operates. These four men were Sam
uel Adams, Patrick Henry. John Han
cock and Benjamin franklin BY far
the ablest of these was Franklin. He
had printing establishments in ten
cities, including the West Indies. He
financed Braddock's expedition, and
made Washington hero.
Had there been no war-hero there
would have been no revolution, and
consequently no president. Franklin
hated war; Patrick Henry wanted it,;
Adams was the master politician, and
though Hancock wanted to be COM
mander-ln-chicf, he Unanswered cley-
erIy, and with the aid Of John Adams
put Washington through.

WHY
Indirecr Lighting Is B e st
for the Eyes

Not long ago We substituted the
electric and gas light for the oId-fash-
ioaed coal oil lamp. We think we
have wonderful lighting systems. &C
eording to Forrest Knapp Of Colorado
Agricultural college. the glare due TO
the use Of the ineandescent lamp IS
so great that 1t may counterfeit al
of the good effects of increased in
tensity of illumination. Did you ever
notice any discomfort from having an
electric light in your field of yisiong
Do your eyes become tired more easily
at night than in the day time?
There ire two main ways in which
modern lighting is done, directly end
Indirectly. With indirect lighting the
source of Illumination cannot be sen

walls and ceiling. but when direct
lighting is used the source hay be

globe ana move it closer to our work.
Theoretically this should be done. But
how about experience?
It has been proved that after three
hours work the efficiency of the eye
is but little less when indirect light
ing is used. The efficiency Of the eye
after three hours work in daylight is
about 9S per cent. When an indirect
light is used the efficiency is about
81 per cent. Not much difference.
But when direct lighting is used this
efficiency drops TO about 10 per cent
The intensity of illumination has
little effect when indirect lighting is
used, but very great effect when
the source of light is in the field of
vision. The number of Indirect lights
does not decrease the efficiency to
any noticeable degree but when direct
lighting is used the efficiency drops
rapidly with an increase in the num-
Der of lighting units.
Save your eyes.

Why Winter Fruits Are Good.

Dried figs contain more than three
times the nutriment of fresh eggs.
Figs are justly entitled TO a place
among tie food fruits. In the dry
state or stewed they are an excellent
food for children in cold weather.
About FIVE ounces Of figs and a pint
% milk make a sustaining meal for an
adult. Weight for weight dates are
more nouriShing than bread, In desert
tracts this fruit is almost the only
source Of nourishment for Dlen and

OBITUARY
(Contributed-1
Marian Louise Polser Pvles.

Marian Louise Polser Pyles.
Marian Louise Polser Pyles was
born in Ohio. October Is, 1854, and
passed from the earthly realm to the
home beyond, February 26, 1920
death occurring at the home OF a
daughter in Houston, Texas. Mrs.
!Pyles, the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Henry Polser, moved to Keokuk,
Iowa, with her parents in early girl
hood and was continuous resident
of the state from that time on until
the death Of her husband which oc.
CURED few years ago. Since that
time She has made her home with her
children in Houston, Texas.
Mrs. Pyles was married twice
in marriage to Mr.. Phillips. Within
eighteen months Mr.. Phillips and an
infant son passed away. In the year
1876 she was united in marriage to
Leonard Taylor Pyles and to them
were born four children. Mr.. Pyles
and one son preceded Mrs. Pyles in
death. The surviving children are
DR.. Richard Pyles. Los Angeles,
Calf; Mrs. T. A. Sinclair, Houston,
Texas. and Mrs. E. M. Wyatt, Hous-
ton, Texas. She is also survived by
two sisters, Mrs. Henry C. Carleton,
Tayor, Texas, and Mrs. B. c. Cook,
Minneapolis.
! For four years after the marriage
of Mr.. and Mrs. Pyles they resided
in Austin, Texas. 1t was during the
time at Rustin that Mrs. Pyles be-
came member of the Christian
church, her early life having been
spent within the fellowship of the
Methodist church. After the short
stay in Texas they moved back to
Keokuk. In the year 1887 the First
Christian church of Keokulr had its
beginning. It was organized in the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. l. T. Pyles
and thus it is that Mrs. Pyles is num-
bered among the charter members Of
! this church To her church Mrs.
Pyles was a very devoted member
and this can be said without any
reservation whatsoever. She was
ever in it's services and no life ever
added more to the sweetness Of the
fellowship than did hers. Never a
stranger came within the confines Of
the church but what she was among
the first to express the warmth of
greeting that made one feel very
much at home. she was quiet,
patient worker and adviser. and those
who remember her during her rela-
tionship to the church here have
borne testimony that her lovely
character and high influence was
steady and continuous from the be-
ginning. She had possession OF
talents and habits Of mind which
added stability to the work of the
church and it's influence in the com
munity.
The death OF Mrs. Pyles, bringing
sorrow to the homes Of loved ones
also brings sorrow to this congrega
ton 1t Is indeed fitting that as she
was one of the initial members Of this
organization that her mortal remains
be carried from this sacred place tc
their last resting place in the silen,
city of the dead. Her spirit enters
the realm Of Witnessing spirits who
