PARLEY ON COAL

Plans for a conference between
bituminous coal operators and

to work out a solution Of the
overproduction problem in the in-

Refusal of employers to join
in such a conference forced Secre-
tary of Labor Doak to abandon

operators. Only 38 favored cali.

The remaining 101 either in.

or failed to reply.
In a letter to John L. Lewis,
president of the United Mine
workers of America, who re-
queSted a general conference Of
bituminous coal operators and
miners be called, Mr.. Doak said:
Inspection Of the rated daily
tonnage of the mines repre-
sented shows that the combined
number of those favoring the
conference and those willing To-
attend while questioning its
value, would represent about
100000 tons.
Results Doubted
Those who declined or failed
to reply would represent a rated
tonnage around 100000. Thus

and since the responses indi.
cate that, at this time, it is not

appear that the calling of the

LOOMS WARNS
Of INSURANCE
''TW|STER"
INSCRIPTIONS Agents Trying
To Switch Policies Should
Be "Given Air." Says Writer
By FRANK F. LOOMS

by FhANh r. LOOMAS
Do not lapse your life insur-
ance!
If you hold policy in any old
line legal reserve life insurance
company and for some financial
reason it is impossible for you to
pay the yearly premium, consult
representative of the company
that is now carrying your insur-
ance before letting your policy
lapse. He will undoubtedly be
able to show you a way out of
the difficulty, which will enable
you to keep your policy in force.
Modern life insurance policies
have extended insurance values,
loan and cash values, premium
loan values, and many other
valuable features incorporated in
the contract which the average
insured man is not familiar with,
but which may be used to avoid
lapsing your policy.
Lapse Means Loss
To drop policy in a COM
pany and then take one out in
another company is always an
expensive proposition and results
in loss to the insured, inaSmuch
as he will have to pay for an
advanced age and lose an accu-
mutation in both reserve and
dividends on the policy he had
been carrying.
Beware of the unScrupulous
agent who will attempt to con-
vince you he can sell you the
same amount Of life insurance
You are now carrying on a diff
ferent form at less yearly cost.
He cannot do it, but he will try
to make you think so. and he is
interested only in his commission.
Such an agent. known as a
"twister," is one of the biggest
menaceS in the life insurance
business today.
II you are approached with any
proposition, wherein the lapsing
of your present life insurance
policy is suggested, with a view to
the yearly cost by taking
out policy in another company,
advise the agent of the company
you are now insured in.
Will Show Flaws
He will be able to point out to
you the flaws in the proposition
and the financial loss it would
result in. In other words, do not
lapse your policy or attempt to
it to another company or
take any action whatever without
first consulting the life insurance
company with which you now are
insured,
When you are confronted with
problems, it Is a great
temptation to take advantage of
a loan value, payable on demond,
on Your life insurance policy.
However, a life insurance policy
should not be borrowed on if it is
possible to avoid doing so, as re-
ports from life insurance COM
panies show that the large ma
jority of loans are not repaid, fire.
resulting in the policies
being lapsed.
If a man has met with finan-
cial reverSes and is unable to meet
the premiums on his life insur-
ance policy, it would be better for
him to take advantage of the ex-
tended insurance clause in his
policy rather than borrow on it.
If you have a loan on your
policy at the present time, how
ever, and feel that you cannot
afford to pay the interest on
same, plus the yearly premium, do
not let your policy lapse without
first consulting the insurance com.
pany in which you are insured, as
they may be able to show YOU
how you can keep your life insur-
ance in force.

BALTIMORE, March 2T.-More than
100000 people in the United States,
including a million children, probably
are sufferers from migraine, or sick
headache, It was declared today before
the American College of Physicians. DR..
Ray M Balyeat of the University of
Oklahoma said about per cent OF the
population suffer from migraine some
time during their lives. He reported
the results Of studies Of 200 cases.
Migraine is q close relative Of hay
fever, asthma and some forms of eczema.
People who have had these diseases are
more likely to have migraine. Migraine
sufferers are highly sensitive to some
form of food, DR.. Balyeat explained.
Eating that particular food seems to
have q constructing effect on small ar
teries in the cortex or outer layer Of
the brain, and pain results.
Milk, wheat, eggs, nuts, beans and
fish all may cause migraine. Treatment
consists in finding to what food the
patient Is sensitive and then removing
1t from his diet.
May Be Inherited.
Migraine apparently may be Inherit
ed, he said. It occurs more frequently
In families that also suffer from hay
fever, asthma and eczema. Brain work.
ers, such as college professors, students
and business men, seem to be twice as
susceptible to migraine as laborers, be-
cause they have more highly developed
nervous systems. About twice as many
women as men have migraine.

returned to normal. They gained
weight at an average rate of q pound
a week. Pig stomach is not unpleasant
to eat and is easy TO prepare, which IS
important for patients who must eat
1t constantly to stave of anaemia.
Anaemia patients have the best
chance TO improve when they eat
plenty of whole liver, iron and well
balanced diet of other foods, said DR..
George r. Minot Of Boston. He em-
phasized the Importance of actually
eating as much liver as is prescribed
Cooking cuts down the potency Of
liver as much as 20 per cent, so this
must be allowed for in fixing the COR
rect dose.
Many women who eat little or no
breakfast, lunch composed mostly of
concentrated sugars and starches, and
a fairly good dinner often have a mild
form of anaemia, he explained. Eating
more fruit, vegetables and meat usually
is a sufficient remedy.
DR.. Minot said anaemic people
should receive as much potent material
as they need to keep in the best pos
sible health, not just enough to show
gradual improvement.

MILLIONS VICTIMS OF MIGRAINE.
SAYS DOCTOR. USING DIET CURE
Sick Headache Common Name for Disease.
Pig Stomach Found Effective for
Anaemia Patients.

Two-thirds Of the cases of migraine
apparently start before the age of 20
and about one-third before the age of
IL. Many children are fitted with
glasses to cure headaches supposed to
result from eyestrain, when actually
they have n1igraine, DR.. Balyeat de-
clared.
DR.. Cyrus G. Sturgis Of Ann Arbor,
Mich, reported that eating pig stomach
seems to benefit people with pernicious
anaemia because it supplies material
to the human stomach the lack Of
which Is responsible for the disease.
Anaemia Is believed to be caused by
defects in persons gastric secretion
which makes it impossible for his
stomach to liberate from the protein
in his food a substance that prevents
the disease. Dessicated pig stomach
seems to furnish the missing material
that is needed to liberate this sub
stance from the protein, he said.
Patients who were fed pig stomach
improved in appetite, gained strength
and their body temperature and pulse
