10000 TONS
COAL A WEEK
Iowa Mines are Working Full Capa-
city and are Turning Out That
Much-Shortage Scare
is Lessened.

DIES MONIES, Oct. 2S.-Approxi-
mately 100000 tons of coal is being
mined in Iowa every, week, according
to George Heaps, Jr., secretary of. the
Iowa Coal Operators association.
This average, Mr.. Heaps stated, is
as high as any ever achieved IN
Iowa, considering the many Difficult
ties which the coal industry has been
subject to recently. Nevertheless,
said Mr.. Heaps, conditions are good,
after the general "upheava" of the
mining situation in the state; and
everyone concerned seems contented
now that settlement has been
made, and ready for hard work.
This weekly total of 10000 tons
represents the combined output of
about 125 mines throughout Iowa.
Most or this coal, Mr.. Heaps declared.
| Is used by industries right in this
state, the mines showing willing
ness now to serve the interests that
have kept them going in the past.
LESS than five percent Of the coal
mined in Iowa leaves this state; and
practically all of that goes to ada
cent territory in neighboring states.
! Mr.. Heaps asserted that he did not
believe Iowa stood in any danger OF
a shortage Of coal for the comm
| winter. If there is shortage. he
said, It will be in the, northern por-
ton Of the state, which depends
largely for its. supply on the, coal
shipped down from the north. After
December 1, Mr.. HEAPS pointed out.
when the orders granting priority OF
coal shipments to the northwest come
to an end. about 100000 tons OF
coal will be released for distribution
throughout the middle west, each
week. Communities in the east, as
well as in this section Of the country
where shortages in supply for imme
idiate use exist, are being provided
for lust as rapidly as the operators
working in conjunction with commit
tees of local retailers, can make pro
visions. Consumers have been asked
TO aid In the problem Of adequate
soft coal supply by taking at this
time only enough to last until the
northwest situation is cleared up
After that, with ample car supply II
the meantime, there will be plent!
of soft-coal for the balance OF the
country for the winter, Mr.. Heap:
thinks.

MODERN MIDDLE AGE.

One can scarcely pick up paper
nowadays without seeing an article
entitled advice to the Young Girl
Graduate" advice to the Young
Mother" advice to the Young House
keeper" ETC., but there does not seem
to be any advice to the middle-aged
woman, and surely there is no time
iii life when woman needs advice
as much as she does when she has
attained middle life.
A very great number OF women,
when their families are grown begin
to settle down into old age and feel
it i necessary to be waited on, to
ride instead of walk and to act as
old as possible.
Middle age is the time when wom-
an is at her very best and capable of
really accomplishing more than at any
other time of her life. Her exper-
fence is her great asset.
1t is all nonsense to think for mo-
ment that women's usefulness and &C.
complishments only last through
their young and untried days, when
they are not capable Of the accom-.
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1920-02-28
plishments that may be the fruits of

plishments that may be the fruits Of
their more mature years. Many wom-
en- have become famous in middle
life. George Eliot, the novelist, wrote
her first novel when she was past Al,
and she is only one of many we'll
known women who have given to the
world their best efforts after their
families were grown and they had
more leisure to call their own.
Don't think because your hair is
gray and you get tired just wee bit
easier than you did once upon time
that you are old. Some women seem
to take actual delight in setting forth
the claims that they are old and worn
and therefore to be excused from
life's work and many of it's pleasures,
and of course with such a viewpoint
their dispositions are not sweetened
and those about them are made mis-
cradle. 1t is your own fault if you
are this kind of an old woman.
Surely a full-blown rose is lovelier
than the bud, and woman at middle
life should be at her best. Take bet
ter care of yourself in every particular
than you have ever done in your life
before. Don't let yourself grow un-
duly stout. Keep your youthful figure.
You can if you want to. Eat and
drink so that your complexion will
stay clear. Brush your hair nightly
and keep it glossy and full of life.
1t is easy to find out how to do all
these things if you need to know.
Walk and exercise as much as you
possibly can and keep yourself erect.
Don't wear grays and blacks and
sombre shades always, but make it a
point to find out the right clothes and
colors that will accentuate your
youth, not your age. Above all things,
though, don't be kittenish. That is
the attitude that will make a middle
aged woman ridiculous in the eyes of
the world. Determine to be what you
admire in the woman in the prime of
life-strong, capable and well poised
You can if you try.

REUNITED.

The last week of school found me
tired, nervous, and in fact thorough
ly exhausted. Nine months in a
school room with forty-nine healthy
urchins ever ready to take advantage
of an unguarded moment in which to
perform some wholly unlocked for mis-
chievous act is in my estimation suffi-
cient reason to make almost any
teacher feel as l did on that June
morning many, many years ago.
Seated at my desk / pondered long
as to just where l might go to spend
at least one week of perfect quiet
Past experience had taught me that
visiting friends and relatives was all
very well, but not at time when you
felt the need of rest.

and rugged bluffs along the Missis

this village from childhood, although

wooded walks, the peaceful atmos

AN ABsENT-MINDED PARSoN.

The Rev. John Duncan, famous
Scotch minister of the last century,
was very absent-minded, and many
amusing stories are told of this awk-
ward failing. On one occasion he had
arranged to preach in certain church
few miles from Aberdeen. He set
out on pony in good time; but when
near the end of the journey, he felt
a desire to take a pinch of snuff. The
wind, however, blowing in his face,
he turned the head of the pony
around, the better to enjoy the luxury
Pocketing his snuff box, he started
the pony without thinking to turn it
in the right direction, and he did not
discover his error until he found him
self on Union street, Aberdeen, at the
very time when he ought to have been
preaching seven miles off.
