By International Labor News Service.
Washington, d. c. Sept. 1.-The
price of anthracite coal now is at a
high point, standing 95 per cent above
the level of 1918. Biiuminous coal
has Undergone a. gradual decrease

bituminous prices were further above
the 1918 level than We're anthracite

The study of coal prices was made
by the Department of Labor. The
percentage fluctuations are based oil

Mnneap polls, like Bismarck. is financing the city
water plant heavily from general taxation in
order to keep the rates down. The system has been
practiced long that the Mil city council is put
all sorts Of subterfuges to secure money to pay
operating revenue and at tn" time keep the
present low level of water rates.
The Minneapolis Journal sets forth the dilemma in
the following
THE City Water Department faces a dilemma
Either it must raise the rates o water, it mus;

The Fire Department. for the water they

The revenue thus collected from water pays
the operating costs with surplus lthe last one

From a practical standpoint it may be we'll
worth while to relieve the tax budget of this bur
den, and to make the Water Department entirely
reduce the tax rate, and that is always good thing
to do. high tax rate is a bad advert isement for
any city. It must be our constant and untirng en-
deavor in Minneapolis to keep the rate down.
There remains the question whether the Water

CLIPPING FROM THE PITTS
BURGH sun:

The home Of Mrs. John Prescott
was entered last night and while
nothing was taken. it would seem
that the thieves were still in search
Of Mrs. Prescott's pearls. This bears
still one man, and that man the chief
Of the band, at large; but it skaters
the theory that he had the jewels
with him.
Now tho whereabouts of half a
million dollars worth Of pearls is a
greater mystery than before. All
Mr.. Prescott's servants that were
with him at the time the pearls were
taken. are still in the house. Most
Of them were with Mrs. Prescott
while her father was alive.
All boxes, vases and other recep-
taclcs in the library that could pos
sihlv contain these jewels had been
overturned. When the case was res
ported to the police this morning. d
reporter accompanied the Commits
sioner of Police. who took charge in
person, to the house.
Mrs. Prescott had not allowed any
thing to be disturbed. The room was
in the same condition in which bur
glars had left it.
No one seems to have heard the
slightest noise or disturbance in the
house, yet there is indisputable evil
dence that there was more than one
person concerned in the search. In
fact, bit Of orchid colored chiffon

having 5692.
That is not quite the whole story Several states
have many miles of hard surfaced roads in addition
TO concrete. New York, Michigan aud New Hamp-
shire have a lot Of good roads surfaced with tarvia
and gravel. The total concrete mileage in the
United States is 3169S.5, and Minnesota which should
be among the topliners, has only about one sixtiet

ON HEALTH---
tuberculosis Often Can Be Cured

tuberculous because they contract
the disease from their parents or
surroundings.
tuberculosis is not intensely con
tagious like measles and scarlet
fever; it is not contracted by merely
coming in contact with a consump-
tive nor even by living in the same
house with one provided that the
consumptive is careful and clean.
tuberculosis is less contagious than
typhoid fever but tuberculosis fur
nishcs it's danger Of infection for -
much longer period, for years instead
Of days. No one is so healthy or so
strong that he may not at some time
develop tuberculosis. Constant at
tention to the duties Of prevention is
necessary wherever children live
under the same roof with a consump-
tive.
An occasional exposure to tuber
culosis is not without danger and
therefore it is necessary that cars.
boats. waiting roomst restaurants
and all public places be protected
from infection by careless patients
suffering from tuberculosis.
The danger of a person suffering
from consumption injecting others
in the same house may be reduced
to minimum provided he will take
the proper precautions but this
means constant care on his part.
Children having adenoids or en-
larged tonsils should have them re-
moved as the obstruction to breath
ing caused by these adenoids and en-
larged tonsils favors the develop
ment Of tuberculosis and other dis
eases as we'll.
If tuberculosis attacks the intes
final canal. the bones, or the glands
of child. that child shall receive
careful treatment at once by physi
clan or surgeon in order that a cure
NAV be accomplished before it is too
late

l often have wondered why
mothers will fret and fuss about
kids keepin' clean. How much does
it matter how dirty they get If their
interest in playin' is keen?
The health of child gets its
start when he's young and the seed
for the future is sown. He climbs
up the ladder of strength, rung by
rung, or he turns out weakling
when grown.
The builders most need are sun
light and air if youngsters to
really advance. To rob him Of
playin', to give too much care. is
putting crimp in his chance.
Go on. lie tenn run in the open and
free. Aw, shucks, let EN- play in
the sands. Just let 'em get dirty
as dirty can be, and smear up their
faces and hands.
There's always warm water and
soap to be had, so wash the kids
daily, and then, you'll find they won't
mind it. In fact, they'll be glad to

Despite the educational campaigns

this disease lose through neglect
their chances Of again becoming use

New York, Aug. 27--Several times
have recorded here the magic and
the beauty wrought by night upon
great city. And here are some
of the sinister aspects observed in
"dog watch" kept with a newspa-
perman.
The window looks out upon one
short block of the west side. Within
that block are two second-floor Greek
cabarets, basement bootleg shop
and rear-room dive. Also in this
block there arc two brOthels, four
all-night restaurants and a gambling
den.
At midnight the vultures begin to
gather. Men with glinty faces, the
professional gamblers. Drifting into
this back eddy of hell come trowsy
sisters of the pavement, dope ped
dlers. gaunt-faced and hollowe eyed
addicts, bony figured pickpockets,
puttyfaced boobs waiting for the
Fleeing and few sons of honest toll
seeking an evanescent and synthetic
contrast to their drab day of labor.
After midnight when the passing
stream thins out and the din of the
street subsidies the clatter and the
clamor of the honky-tonks begin.
Crash! Discordant brasses and
rhythmless beating of drums are
mixed With, notes of the human voice
which sound like the yelps of all
hell's whelps.
Through an uncurtained window
are seen waitre sses,, apparently ma
tive Americans and bearing fresh
traces of youth, serving alien males
of sodden and sullen mien. The flow
Of "stiga" and other poisons CON
cocted on the place is continuous.
There is dancing and stamping of
feet and by daylight general orgy.
Nauseated and fleeced men strag-
gle out. Some in stupor and as
yet not wholly trimmed stand be-
fuddled along the curb Gaudy,
writing shadows stink upon them
and the harpies claim a victim from
the bootleggers.
Dawn breaks and group of men
are spewed forth from dark en-
trance. They argued with a short
sleeved bozo who is as hard-boled as
Plymouth Rock. "Call cop. call a
cop!" he shouts at the top of his
voice. "An' then see what I'll do!"
A cop is standing so feet away.
He strolls slowly toward the group
and the loud-mouthed fellow as slow
~ strolls away. The cop engages in
an argument with the men who COM
plain of being fleeced and makes
them dispense.
The cop stands for two hours in
front of the den from which all the
unearthly noises have been issuing.
AT $3.50 he bellows out, "Hey, shut
them windows up there" He dashes
up stairs and does no reappear for
10 minutes. In the meantime the

Speaking at Stoughton Wis, recently, the Crown
Prince Of Wisconsin parrot like reiterated his
fathers dogmas Despite the fact that he seeks the
nomination at the hands Of Republicans whose
leader Coolidge is Bob, Jr, said:
The Coolidge administration has reached
the end Of its rope
Continuing, he criticized the Coolidge adminisra-
ton and its policies especially the Mellon plan.
All Of this in face OF the great endorsement the
Coolidge program received at the polls last Novem-
Der and the overwhelming reputation dealt his

Arrogantly. he stated the campaign issue in the
following terms;

most amazing declaration Of issues coming from
a candidate seeking the support Of Republicans
Bob La Toilette Jr., is in the Republican primaries
merely to use the party label to gain his selfish
political ends He is not Republican, His pc
litical program is hostile to the great fundamental
principles Of the party of Coolidge and of the ma
jority in the United States senate. Such political
dup!icity would be impossible it not for the
primary system which permits betrayal of the party
and makes parties subscrvient to the whims and
falaci"s of every leather hinged agitaor.
