A PROPER PROTEST.

Coal is 8 subject that interests most people less at this time of the year than it will a few months later Neverthe- less there are those including the fuel administrators, whore they are still be- ing maintained, who must keep in touch with the situation and do their best to protect the interests of those for whom they are at work
 Thus there cannot fail to be interest in the appeal which has been sent by Administrator Huffman of Massachu- sets to the federal trade commission against the discrimination which is made by some operators in the sale of it's product the protest being based upon the fact that even though million tons are sold annually in Massachusetts the coal dealers there are charged 15 cents more a ton for it than are those in other states and even Canada is able to get it at the lower figure.
 The difference of 15 cents on a sls gle ton would amount to very little tc the individual consumer but in view oi all that is sold in the state by that com. pany complained of it would mean 2 handsome figure. On the other hand there is no reason why Massachusetts ol states in this part of the country should be discriminated against Just what will be accomplished by the appeal rest! with the future to disclose. It disclose! situation that at least calls for an ex planation. Certainly if coal is to bt wholesaled there ought to be one pric, for all when the buying is done simul taneously.
 There are reasons for manifesting op position to this policy wherever it il found in operation and the matter t, which he calls attention ought to ge early and careful consideration from tn federal body.

EXPLAINS WHY MOST PEOPLE BECOME WEAK, ANAEMIC, NERVOUS
 AND RUNDOWN
Former Member of Health Department Discusses
 This Important Subject

'The reason why most persons who are weak, anaemfc, nervous and r1xn- down have gotten into that condition
 Is because they are so constituted that they use up their vital energy and nerve force quicker than their bodies can replace it-'' So spoke Dr. George M. Lipinski. formerly on the Philadel-
 phia, Pa, Department of Health and for many years a practising physician in that city. when interviewed recently.
 Their systems fail to extract from the food they eat and retain in sum cient quantity those mineral elements without which they body Is absolutely unable to create vital energy and nerve force. And so they go on expending. day by day, their vital energy without adequately repienishing the supply un- til their systems become completely rundown, their blood gets impoverish- ed and their nerves are unstrung. The mineral elements which are essential in the creation of vital power aA,e par ticularly calcium, potassium, sodium, phosphorus and iron. And these ele- ments must be administered to those patients whose systems do not extract them in sufficient quantity in the natu- ral way from their food. That is why

QUE CoNsUI.AR AGENTs.

It Is of the greatest importance that our consular as well as our diplomatic corps should be made up of men who are well equipped to handle the duties and those upon whom full reliance can be placed by the state department. It was proper therefore when Secretary Hughes took occasion to address the party of 1s young men who were leaving for foreign fields and give them some good advice, to impress them with the fact that the government in it's foreign relations was not proceeding according to some artificial formula and 10 inspire them with the actual policy and desire of the administration, so far as it could be set forth
 IL is realized of course that consular agents are liable to be faced at any time with all sorts of situations. They are located in foreign countries for the pur- pose of looking after the interests of American subjects and to keep the country posted as to conditions which prevail in their locality, and to those leaving for their posts Secretary Hughes took occasion took occasion to impress upon them the high value that was at tached to common sense and accurate statement. When the secretary de- clsred T nave set greater store by the discovery that I could absolutely de- pend upon what man said than have ever set by anything that his friends may say who are not in close contact with him and in a position to observe his daily work it must have made a strong impression rpon those address, cd Certainly 1t was intended to en- courage dependability and accuracy, and when he indicated the requirements that were expected of consular representa- tives in foreign lands are there for a purpose. They are not named. or should not be, simply for patronage reasons. There is q service to be performed and Secretary Hughes plainly indicated that the conditions of the respective cases should be met as they arise. Com. petent courageous and self controlled consular agents are of great value tt the country.

READ YOUR CHARACTER By Digby Phillips
 Copyrighted 1921 HEAVY EYEBROWS.

Heavy eyebrows are primarily a sign of ruggedness, both mentally and physi- cally.
 Do you know man or a woman with unusually heavy ones? You'll find that he or she is a person inclined to stick vigorously to his or her views. Such people don't surrender their opinions or principles easily and they're somewhat harder than normal to convince on most any subject.
 In almost every case you'll find them ordering their lives and their actions de- cisiveIy, often quickly. but rarely upon mere impulse or intuition.
 Don't look for too much of the moon Hght-rose bower type of romance in a girl who has heavy eyebrows. But you vii, of course, if she has those narrow, pencil-line brows; look carefully to see if it is nature or art that has given them to her. Left to themselves. her brows might be heavy.
 And if the man you're wondering about has heavy brows, he's likely to propose in some more prosaic way than dropping on his knees and comparing your eyes to the stars above. That doesn't say that he isn't romantic, but only that if he is romantic it's in a practical. common sense sort of way.
 Again, heavy-browed people are not so inclined to set unusual store by extreme niceties and refnements. nor are they so fond of luxurious ease as narrow-browed people. For their sign is a sign of vigor and they're more likely to like the great outdoors and the sunshine and the satis- faction of tangible accomplishment. Tomorrow: Praise-Hungry Mouths.

ROADSIDE MARKETS.

Farmers in New Jersey are extensive ratsers of garden truck and they have hit upon the interesting method of not only being producer but being retailer as well without leaving their premises. This comes about through the establish ment of wayside markets at which are sold all kinds of garden truck. includ- ing peaches. apples and tomatoes as well as flowers.
 This is, of course an outgrowth of highway development and the increased travel thereon because of the extensive use of the automobile. Great numbers pass over these roads going between the large cities and going to and from the many coast resorts. There is an oppor- tunity for the producer whose property borders the highway. or who in fact is located close enough to make it advis- able to obtain stand thereon. to offer to discriminating buyers not only the cream of the field but goods which can be relied upon to be fresh.
 No better evidence can be desired as to the character of the appeal that such roadside markets make than the pat ronage that is received, and yet while New Jersey may be more extensively en- gagged in such activities than some other states it is by no means the only com monwealth where the farmers are alert to the value of appealing to the trade of the highway users.
 Many automobile owners are in the habit of going into the country for cer- tain amounts of vegetables and fruit They are tempted in some instances tc go in and help themselves if there is nc other way to get what they want and the displaying Of goods for sale caters to the wants of those who are on the lookout for fresh produce as well as fl awakens the interest of others who hat given little thought to the matter From the manner in which the different pro, ducts of the farm are grabbed up fl season there is clearly indicated the sen l timent of the people regarding the idea It is a plan that should be given nucf more attention on the well travelet l highways where traffic is sufficient tc warrant t.

 The comet nowhere continued visible many days in succession. Prof. Loom- is states that the most complete se- ries of observations on this comet of 1S43, in this country, were made by Messrs Walker and Kendall, of Phila- delphia, where the comet was followed for several months.
 The velocity with which the comet whirled round the sun at the instant of perihellon was prodigious. This was such as, it continued, would have carried it round the sun in two hours and a half; in fact, it did go more than half round the sun in this time. The head of the comet was exceedingly small in comparison with it's tail. The nearest approach was about eighty mil lions of miles.
 Other brillia comets have been from time to time within a century. most striking of which was the splendid com ct of 1861 and the most recent was the Haley comet which was an interesting visitor a little more than five years ago. Tomorrow - The Traditional Charter

,DD INCIDENTS IN AMERICAN
 HISTORY
THE GREAT COMET OF 184s.

There have been many visits of com cts during the period of American his tory, but none excited the attention as much as did the comet of 1S43, not only on accout of its great brTlliancy, but for the reason of it's many peculiar aspects, and the impressions 1t made up- on the superstitous minds of that pe- riod, who understood less than we do today about these remarkable visitors
 The comet of 1843 is regarded as per haps the most marvellous of the present age, having been observed in the daytime even before it was visible at night passing near the sun-exhibiting an en- ormous length of tail, computed to have been about 108, 600,000 miles in length, and arousing an interest in the public mind as universal and deep as it was unprecented.
 The country was very much startled when the visitor was first observed in the spring of 1S43, in the western heav- ems, like great aurora, streaRling from the region of the sun. It was at first mistaken by multitudes for the zodiacal light, but it's aspects and movements soon proved it to be comet of the very largest class. There were, too, some persons who, without regarding it., like many of the then numerous sect called MilIerites, as foretokening the speedy de-
 
 gaze at it untroubled by a certain name less feeling of doubt and fear.
 From the graphic narrative of a Flu repean travelling at that date in the wilds of America, it appeared that the Indians around him viewed the comet of i843 as the precursor of pestilence and famine. One of his companions, Tam anua, a young Wapisiana. broke the si. lence with which the whole party for some time stared at the starry train oi the tail of fire with exclamation. ''Tvais I, the Spirit of the Stars, the dreadful Cap ishi-famine and pestilence await us r'
 The appearance of this strange bod! as examined at different points, bJ various scientific observers, has beel made a portion of the permanent sci entific history of our country by Prof Loomis of Yale college. In his admira ble paper on this magnificent comet h. states that it was seen in New EnglanC | as early as i.a0 in the morning. and continued until in the afternoon, when 1 the sky became considerably obscured b! clouds and haziness.

THE PHILIPPINE GovERNoRsHtp

whether or not there is any basis for the report to the effect that General Wood has recalled his declination of the appointment as governor general of the Philippines and is ready to accept it will be disclosed in all probability before long. It Is of course understood that the position to which he has been elected at the University of Pennsyiva- nia has not been declined by the gen. eral who is at the present time with for nner Governor General Forbes complet- ing the investigation of the islands for the administration with view to deter mining what policy shall be followed concerning independence.
 General Wood an5 former Governor Forbes have been receiving enthusiastic receptions wherever they have been in the islands. They have been impressed by the changes that have taken place since both left the islands and their rec concentrations are bound to carry much weight.
 Because of the service of General Wood in the islands and the importance Of the position, he had been sought by President Harding to fill the highest ap- pointive office of the kind in the gift of Inc president. Disappointment prevail cd when he declared that he was una els> to accept whereupon he was urged 70 look over the ground. If after the survey that Is nearing completion he has found reason for cbinging his mind t will be a decision thai wfl1-se learn. cd with general satisfaction since the country has great confidence in the gen. eral for that post. Certainly no other has been selected for the place thus far.
