NOW EoR rHE COAL PROBLEM

In the long look into the far future
Of the country congress left in the
hands of the president nothing Of
bigger import than the act providing
for the so-called fact finding commits
sion to go into the national coal sit
nation with a view to the reorgani-
zation of the whole indusry.
And one of the best things about
this piece of legislation is that no re-
strictions were put upon the execu-
tive as to the men he may appoint to
the commission. He is free to pick
the seven members from any field
where he may find the best material
And only the best should be picked.
Nothing else will do.
This is real mans job and to get
1t done in the right way for the coal
mine owners, the coal mine workers
and the coal consuming public the
president will need to get for the
commission the soundest. strongest
and ablest men in the country. He
will be justified in drafting them in
TO this service to the nation.
The findings of the commission will
go to the coal industry and to the
government merely as conclusions
and recommendations But if the
men on the commission dig out and
present the facts as the right caliber
of men can dig out and present the
facts, If they stand squarely on the
issue of what must be done to re-
lieve the nation of incessant brawls
among coal employers and employees
and to assure the nation of an ade-
quate fuel supply at reasonable prices
if they put into the work what the
needs of the country demand they
put into their work, the American |
people will back them up so solidly |
that neither short sighted coal oper-
ators and labor union leaders nor in |
triguing politicians can long delay the
rescue of the coal industry from eco
nomic anarchy.-New York Herald.

TARANTuLA BITES TWO

Mrs. j. M. Burgis, wife of the pro-
prietor of a grocery store in Louis
vile, is confined to her bed as a re-
suit of an attack by a tarantula, or
tropical spider which leaped from a
stalk of bananas and bit her on the
middle finger of the right hand. Geo.
Schipper, tank wagon driver, was in
the store at the time and when he at
tempted to pick up the bananas
which Mrs. Burgis dropped he was
also bitten, the tarantula biting him
on the index finger of the left hand.
Both victims of the poisonous insect
were given medical attention at once,
the wounds being causterized.

olPHTHERIA SPREAD ALARMING

Unless the people of Kentucky
awaken Immediately to the danger in
diphtheria, the death rate from this
disease will increase enormously this
fall and winter, DR.. A. T. McCor-
mack, state health officer, declared in
an address delivered at Louisville
The number of cases in the state at
the present time, he added, already
is in excess of that at the same time
last year.
There are now. as in the past"
DR.. Mccormack said, three reasons
why diphtheria is spreading so alarm
ingly: Doctors are not called soon
enough, and persons with diphtheria
give it to others before the disease is
recognized isolation is not complete
enough during illness, and persons
who have had diphtheria begin going
out before it is shown by laboratory
test that they are free of the disease.
Diphtheria need never be fatal. If
doctors are called early enough and
anti-toxin administered persons suf-
fering with the disease in sufficient
recovery is certain. And
anti-toxin is so cheap that it can be
obtained by the poorest The State
Board of Health will supply it at re-
duced rates, and there is scarcely a
county in the state which hasn't an
