British Coal Abundant.

For her size, Great Britain has more
try in the world. The coal seams,
lying one below another to an I'M
known depth, not infrequently crop

tropical conditions once prevailed in

district which is now Great Britain
was connected in primeval times with
the continent, and the coal of England
doubtless runs under the channel and
the southern part of the North sea,

ern France, Belgium and Flanders

RADIATES TOO MUCH CHEER
Mr.. Goslincton Finds He Has a Com
plant to Make Against Man
in the Next Room.

1.-THE man in the room next to
mine," said Mr.. Goslington, "begins to
sing as soon as he gets up. He has
slept well, he feels refreshed, the
whole world looks bright to him, and
he has now pleasurable anticipations
of breakfast. He feels impelled to
sing and he does sing.
"NOt loudly; he is very thoughtful
he doesn't want to disturb anybody ::
he sings softly to himself and he
thinks that nobody else can hear him.
But at that hour, in the general still
ness, his soft singing comes to me as
plainly and is quite as disturbing as
the humming of a bee.
Sometimes he whistles in tones
soft and low, meant to be fiutelike,
and he enjoys his own whistling as
much as he does his own singing, and
he thinks that nobody can hear it, but
upon me his intended-to-be low, flute
like tones have the same effect as the
sharp notes of fife and they wake
me as surely.
Zone of the finest things in the
world is cheerful spirit. The cheer
ful man is help to everybody with
whom he comes in contact. But might
1t not be said of cheerfulness, as of
many another good thing, that it is
possible to have too much of it?
Far be 1t from me to wish that
some great grief might descend upon
my cheerful neighbor, but I do wish
he wouldn't turn on his cheerfulness
SO early in the morning"

Senator Renews His Attack
Upon Miss Wood for Alleged

attack upon Miss Alice Wood, teach

In the class room.
Declaring that Miss Woods alleged
statement that she wanted to give the
"other sile OF the case" regarding the
Russian government to her pupils
was "horrible and shocking" Senator
Myers I'm a speech in the Senate today
sounded a warning that soyietism
was widespread in the public schools.
Senator Myers said in part:
sympathy with Bolsh heyism seems
to be getting a hold in the public
school system of the country. There
are sporadic instances of this which
should serve as a warning OF what
may be found more extensively under
cover. 1t is reported that about .
year ago teacher in one OF the pub
lie schools OF Washington. in talking
on current topics to her pupils, ex-
pressed a tolerant feeling for Boil
shevism, and undertook to give the
Bolshevism. and instead of unspar-
ingly condemning IL warned her
pupils that they should not be too
quick to condemn Bolshevism
ITO my mind this is horrible and
shocking. So far as ! know, this
charge has never been denied. The
school board in the District of Co
lumbia took cognizance of 1t and un-
dertook 20 discipline that teacher for
her shockingiy indiscreet expresslons.
1T is understood that she acknowl-
edged making them, and the inflictlon
of discipline followed by order ot tho
board. A great furor about the In
Fiction OF the discipline was aroused
by many of the teachers OF the Dis
trict.
The cause OF the disciplined teacher
was taken up by the Teachers Union
and by the labor unions of the Dis
trict. A wide protest was made, and
soon thereafter two OF the members

IF. TOO thin
TRY BITR0-
PHOSPHATE

While excessive thinness might be
attributed to various and subtle causes
in different inviduals. IL is a we'll
known fact that the lack OF phos-
phorus in the human system is very
largely responsible for this condition.
IL seems TO be well established that
this deficiency in phosphorus may
now be met by the use Of Bitro-
Phosphate, which can be obtained
from Peoples Drug Stores or, any
good druggist in convenient tablet
form.
In many instances the assimilation
of this phosphate by the nerve tissue
soon produces a welcome change
nerve tension disappears, vigor and
strength replace weakness and lack
OF energy and the whole body loses
its ugly hollows and abrupt angles,
becoming enyeloped in a glow of per.
feet health and beauty and the will
and strength TO be up and doing.
CAUTION:--While Bitro' Phosphate
Is unsurpassed for the relief OF nery-
BUSINESS, general debility, etc, those
taking 1t who do not desire to put on
flesh should use extra care in avoid
Ing fat-producing foods.

LETTERS OF TESSIE AND JOE

Dear Joe:
The more see of other peoples babies
the more | think of ours. Not just be-
cause he's ours, Joe-I admit I'm preju-
diced but still at the same time | flatter
myself I'm impartial. The thing | can't
understand or sympathize with is that
every time l meet other women with
babies they act as if their children were
were the cream de la cream of all the
babies that ever lived, and when / mod
estly point out few of the points that
make our baby superior to theirs they
Immediately start to talk back and argue
in a way that would be amusing If it
wasn't so vulgar. But that's the way with
so MANY people, the minute you tell them
the truth they think you're trying to
insult them. How do you explain that,
Joe?
was out wheeling Baby this morning
YOU know the book saws babies simply
can { have too much air, and believe it In
spite of Mrs. Fink's opinion that the more
air YOU have the more room you give
the germs to circulate in, although, OF
course L know enough about science TO
know that germs simply thrive on air,
no doubt because they're both invisible
and like seeks like.
Anyway. / was out wheeling Baby,
and MIS-. brennan came alOnR Wnecnn2
hers. You never saw Mrs. Brennan's
baby, Joe, but don't let it worry you none,
YOU haven't missed much. Its one of
these kind of babies that you walk by
without noticing You know they're there,
but you'd feel exactly the same if they
wasn't, if you know what l mean. It's
just the opposite with Baby. Everybody
that passes either laughs at him or wants
TO know what he's crying about or tries
to stick their finger In hIm or something
of friendly nature.
Well, Joe, what do YOU think Mrs.
Brennan had the nerve to do? She had
the COLOSSAL nerve to stop and forcibly
open her baby's mouth and show me where
il was starting to get tooth, at the same
time calling attention to the fact that
her baby Is two weeks younger than ours.
Well, that may be the case and it may
not, because I've heard of people belittling
Their babies age just for the effect. Any
wAy, she didn't get no satisfaction out
of me. l merely remarked, 81 believe in
developing my baby mentally" and passed
