By International News service.


 Elmira, N. Y., Dec. S-The coal not gold-rush is on.
 Coal prospectors by the score are sWarnlng to Breesport, town of Erin. lowing the accidental discovery of coal veins through the digging activi- ties of stray woodchuck.
 Claims are being staked out on farms, the filing notices being posted in true Western fashion on stakes. The coal vein or veins just uncovered run through the farms of Joshua Sta ples, Elijah Ennis, William Little and Herbert Staples.
 Breesport residents have tested samples of the coal in their ranges and report unanimously that the an makes a red-hot fire.
 Farm Values Boom.
 That the vein of coal extends to the east to Rorick Hollow has been established. Thanks to the coal finds, farm values hereab outs. today are blooming. Lands previously on the market have been withdrawn as the owners see visions of new riches, through mine development.
 Landowners probably will form stock company to sink eZperim entaI shafts to determine the full extent of the underlying coal fields. Rep resentative of coal interests just prior to the lucky discovery via a wood chuck's hole had been quietly can vaSsing the district making sugges- tons or tentative O1erS-
 The rights of those who have stalk ed and filed coal claims on farming lands that they do not own form a puzzling problem. Whether the West ern practice will be legal in this State Is a question. Farm owners are con sulting counsel, admittedly worrieS over the claims already staked out.
 Gold Found. Too.
 While southern New York has its "cOal rush." the gold fever holds the north country in its grip now, with Edwards as ths centre.
 Gold is reported found on the Stammer farm there, and a New York corporation, taking over the property is preparing to start gold mining op- eratiOns without delay. Necessary machinery is now being shipped in. During the last Summer experts have been at work developing a pro- cess by which gold can be separated from the sands It is reported that there is at least $500 worth of gold in every ton of Edwards dirt.

MEAT HEALTHFUL AS FOOD,
 SAYS U. s. EXPERT

Washington, Dec. 8.-You lovers of meat who delight in tickling the pal ate with an extra cut of roast beef or a large, juicy steak, but hesitate because of the prevalent belief that meat-eating is injurious to the health perish your fears and go to it, says Charles J. Brand, Consulting Special ist in Marketing of the Department of Agriculture.
 Many persons" Brand declares, ''stil hold to the belief. which was largely the outgrowth of unfair and misguided propaganda that meat is not healthfu1. Medical science has proven over and over that a large number of ills once charged against nneat-eating are due to infection of teeth, tonsils and other organs.'
 Meat is wholesome, Brand asserts. and for health and vigor We should eat well-balanCed meal, including a variety of kinds and cuts of meat.

WASH KIDNEYS
 IF THEY HURT

Flush your kidneys with salts oCca- sionally, says a noted auth ority. who tells us that too much meat and rich food may form uric acid, which almost paralyzes the kidneys in their efforts to expel it from the blood. They be- come sluggish and weaken; then you suffer with a, dull misery in the kid ney region, sharp pains in the back or sick headache. dizziness, your stom- ach sours, tongue is coated, and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine gets cloudy, full of sediment. the channels often get sore and frritated, obHging you to seek relief two three times during the night.
 4 To help neutralize these irritating acids, to cleanse the kidneys and flush off the body'S urinOus waste, get four ounces of lad Salts from any phar- macy here; take a tablesp oonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days, and your kidneys may then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with Ithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys; also to neutralize the acids in urine so it no longer irritates, thus often ending bladder weakness.
 lad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in jure and makes a delightful efferves- cent lithia water drtnk.-Adv.

Topping, chairman of the board of the Republic Ironand Steel company and L. E.. Block. chairman of the board of the Inland Steel company.
 At a meeting held today, the entire situation arising from the action of the federal trade commission was re- viewed and the conclusion was reach ed that under existing circumstances it is not possible to proceed with the proposed merger of these three com panies
 While all of the eminent counsel who have been consulted agree that the proposed merger would be legal in every respect and while its con summation would not have restrained but would have intensified competi tion. the final determination of the | questions involved would delay carry ing out of the plans to such an extent that the parties interested do not deem it advisable to proceed.
 Pending such final determination | of questions involved the financing oi the proposed merger would not be DO: sible and it is not feasible to proceed with the merger without such financ i ing"
