THE COAL OUTLOOK.

The soft coal situation begins to look bet
ter for the family'with the empty coal bin. The
miners are turning out about 100000 tous of
coal a week The figures would be 100000
tons if the railroads were able to furnish
enough gondola and hopper coal cars, and if
the mines had the orders. The actual shortage
in production is not as big as most people i'm
agine. From the first Of the year to Oct 16,
the country's production Of bituminous (soft)
coal totsled 2soOo0,000 tons. Roughly, this
was only 100000 tons less than was mined
during the corresponding period Of last year.
Two things are helping counteract this short
age. They are: First: Exports of soft coal
50 far this year, compared with the correspond
ing period Of previous years, are about 7,000,-
900 tons less than in 1921 and 14,0O0,O0 tons
less than in 1920. Second The country will
enter 1923 without the customary 100000
tons Of soft coal normally carried over into
the new year as a surplus or reserve N bins.
Anthracite (hard) coal is bound to be
scarce nearly everywhere this winter. The
hard coal mines so far this year have produced
only about 81 100000 tons. against 73,oOO,O 900
tons in.the corresponding period Of 1921. The
real DANGER OIL q SOIL coal shortage lies IN the
fact that many who customarily burn hard
coal will have to use soft COAL However, with
exports low and corporations buying hand-to-
mouth instead Of building up big reserve
stocks. the outlook is that the country will be
able to pull through the winter without any
acute shortage in the average community.
In rough way, it looks as if America will
have enough coal in the furnace but none toe
much in the bin. The winter market is de.
veloping as matter of buying in small guam.
titles when needed, same asesugar and flour.
The northwest, which is always the danger
spot when a coal shortage threatens, SO fal
this season has received by Great Lakes route
about 100000 tons of soft coal below normal
1t is too late to catch up with this shortage, sc
! the deficit will have to be shipped by railroads
Statistically the general coal situation doe:
not look alarming, unless the market is man
ipulated from the inside or the buyers STAN

HEALTH TALKS
Bronchial Lucubrations.
By William, Brady, \
Mood Phyulclaa as1 Asm0e.

One of the most solidly estab-I
lished and generally accepted prin-
ciples Of treatment for any OF the
acute respiratory infections Of
which acute brohchritis is one.
acute coryza another, is the relief
of congestion. Congestion mesns
too much blood in the affected re-
gion, and this is perhaps the chief
feature OF any such Inflammation.
Various expedients are employed
to relieve congestion. The most
universally effective way to accom-
plish the purpose, ! believe, is by
means Of the hot mustard foot bath
administered to the patient in bed.
To the uninitiated, l find, this al
ways seems about as practicable as
it would be to give a fellow a shave
and hair cut while he plays . set
of tennis. But that only goes to
show what a blessing trained
nurse is to have around the house.
A trained nurse can administer a
hot mustard foot bath to patient
in bed, and without doing any dam
age to,the grand piano in the parlF
either. A nurse may be trained to
administer hot mustard foot bath
properly without going away and
giving two or three years Of her
time to hospital. l have attempt
ed more than once to tell here just
how to give a hot mustard foot bath
and l have horrible suspicion that
some good housewives have at
tempted to give one as directed by
me. To such or any others inter
ested I would suggest that the cas-
fest way to learn how to do it Is by
watching a good nurse do it. ]
once tried to run a motor boat by
directions on a card and l know
something about the dangers OF
theoretical instruction.
The hot mustard foot bath
achieves its object when the patient
enters upon a profuse sweating, not
because the sweating carries out
any considerable amount of impuri-
ties which should be eliminated
from ME bronchial tubes. but be,
cause the sweating is good evidence
that considerable blood has been
withdrawn from the chest to the
skin surface and the extremities.
Attempts to administer orf take
hot mustard foot baths sitting up
are seldom successful. and there is
certain risk of fainting in the
erect posture.
Persons who know neither the
nature Of bronchitis nor the mode
of action or purpose of the hot mus
tard foot bath are generally con-
firmed believers in the cold" bcgey
and consequently fearful OF TAX.
ing more cold" after such profuse
sweating. No intelligent person
need have any anxiety about that;
no ill effect will ensue even though
the patient throws off his blankets
and takes the air in the very mids
of the sweating or Immediately aft

the benefit properly managed ho
mustard foot bath will give. MOI

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Tin Fell and Lead Poisoning.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Tin Foil and Lead Polssaing.
Is there any possibility Of con-
tracing lead poisoning by eating
food which comes wrapped IN un
foiln For instance, some fancy
kinds of cheese are SO wrapped.
N. T o.
Answer-Tin foil generally con-
tains more lead than tin. There Is
a slight chance OF lead poisoning
il the foed has been IN CONTACT
with the foil.
It requires surprisingly minute
quantities of lead, ipgested over .
prolonged period, to cause chronic
lead poisoning. Thus, women
sometimes suffef lead poisoning
from the use OF flake white and
other cosmetics which contain
lead, or from the use Of hair dye
or hair tonic containing lead. A
child aged three had a habit OF
standing on a chair looking out or
the window and sucking or biting
the paint off the window sash
enough to contract lead poisoning.
A boy Of II working in a tobacco
factory used to hold bits Of the foil
in his mouth; he suffered paralysis
from lead poisoning. Foil contain
ing lead should not be used for
wrapping edibles.
Cattle and Men.
Why is it that there is a valid
test for tuberculosis in cattle but
none for tuberculosis in men?
E. A.
Auswer-The tuberculin tests
(hypodermic injection, and Won
Uirquet skin test are as valid In
men as in cattle. Many adults bar
Dor a focus of tuberculosis which
is not active; they respond to
tuberculin tests with positive re-
actions. 1t is only in young child
that a positive reaction to tuber-
culin test strongly suggests tuber-
culosis as the cause Of the illness.
An adult may be i'll Of another dis
ease yet respond to tubercuiin
test. Cattle reacting positively to
the tuberculin test are condemned
as a source of milk, as safety pre-
caution. Many cattle slaughtered
for meat have tuberculosis i'll some
part of the body, which doesn't
necessarily make the meat unfit for
human food.
The Baby Will Keep Warm.
/ We sleep with windows always
wide open. In winter we have
trouble keeping the hands OF our
three-year-old baby girl covered.
Should. her head also be covered at
night? MRS. F. K r.
| Answer-If the temperature is
not extremely low the baby's head
and hands need not be covered. If
the parents do not require head or
hand covering the baby doesn't, for
a baby's heat production is rela-
ttively greater than an adults, and
the baby can stand moderate cold
more comfortably than the average
adult.

John Looney has been indicted by the fed
eral grand jury at Peoria for the alleged theft
of an automobile. Doubtless this will be shock
ingsnews to those Rock islanders who have
been impressed by Mr.. Looney's pretended eff
forts to suppress lawlessness in the commun-
ity. The action Of the Peoria grand jury also
ought to prove an effective campaign argument
in favor of his election as Rock Island county
Judge.
