WASHINGTON, Aug. 4-The Ma

That will represent the country's di-

April I, 1922, to meet the country's

Operators and miners figure they
must produce an average of II, goo 900
tons a week.
Up to April I, when the strike be
gan, the average price for spot coal
at the mines was approximately $2.10

Maximum Price Uncertain
Under the Hoover agreement of
May 80, maximum price" Of $3.50
a ton was agreed on as a move to
prevent profteereing by many non

shoot their price s<y-high.

and sometimes by loss of cuticle.
The skin, like other parts of the
body, depends on the whole system
for nutrition, and when the system
fails to give this nutrition there is
an eruption on the surface. When
the skin is not properly nourished
every slight irritation is liable to pro
duce eczema.
Eczema may occur on any part of
the body or even cover every inch
of the body and in such cases treat
ment is very difficult.
In treating it the cause must be
found and removed If possible, mOls-
ture and air must be avoided and
protection must be furnished by
means of ointments, busting powders
and bandages, but seldom by lotiors
and watery fluids. The bowels must
be kept open and attention should
be paid to the diet, excluding acid
fruits, shell fish, tomatoes and anv
other irritating food. Pure air, com
bined with the proper kind of exer-
else, promotes the functions of the
skin and assists in keeping the blood
in good condition.
A person suffering from eczema
should avoid tub-baths and use soap
and water sparingly. Bran added to
the water, or baking soda, in the pro-
portion Of one teaspoonfui to tbs
basin Of water, is helpful. The water
should always be soft. The use Of
water on the face should be followed
by the immediate use of cold cream.
The cause can sometimes be traced
to weakness of the physical condition
or bad nerves. In all cases a ply
stefan should be consulted IN order
to point out causes of the disease
and special treatment

NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-"The peak
Of American relief has been reached
in starving Russia and the specter of
famine fast is disappearing.
That is the message brought by
Col. William n Haskell, director of
the American Relief Administration.
Just back from Russia to make a re-
port to Chairman Herbert Hoover,
he gives a comprehensive survey of
the work already done.
"We are feeding 100000 people,
including $500, 900 children and $500.
900 adults" he says. THE work,
covering an area Of 1900, 900 square
miles, is being done by 200 Americans.
Close to 100000 tons of supplies have
been distributed.
Child feeding was begun last
Sept. 1 and adult feeding April /.
BY the coming September adult re-
lief VIII cease, and the feeding Of
children will be cut down gradually
to 1000, 900
\"By that time crops win have
matured, for there was much more
planting last spring following the
distribution by the Soviet government
Of the $4,000, 600 worth of seed grain.
Z. $. Checks Hunger
America checked the famine, re-
duced deaths by starvation to a mini
mum and tided the people over. espe-
cially in the Volga region. When. the
harvest comes our food drive will be
practically over and we shall devote
our chief attention to medical and
sanitation work"
Out Of the $50 00O, 600 subscribed by
the American people two years ago for
Central European relief, $4,000, 600
has gone 10 feed Russian children, ac-
cording to Haskell.
Daily 100000 children visit the
$4,000 American kitchens. Each has
plate and spoon and receives a well
cooked meal consisting of bread,
cocoa and milk and either rice, beans
or corn grits.
Out OF the S20,00O0o0 appropriated
by Congress 100000 tons Of corn have
been shipped into the Nolga region.
Needy adults numbering 5000. 600 re-
ceive thirty pounds Of corn a month.
