Cold Houses Foreseen

Local coal dealers are urging regular
patrons to place their orders for future
delivery as early this summer as pos
sible. and promise only to fill the
orders as best they can. The old days
when it was possible to call up any
dealer any morning and have a ton or
two rolling down the home chute the
same dav are past. The best that can
be expected by civilian consumers, as
distinct from industrial, is that what
ever coal arrives from mines will be
distributed, share and share alike, with
other consumers accustomed to buy
from the same dealer.
This is what the recent strike in
the mines has done to help national
recovery. The Solid Fuels Adminlstra-
ton reports that up to June Is the out
nut of soft coal was estimated at 21O,-
100000 tons. In the same period IN
1916, output reached 274, 049, 900 tons
The drop is 23.2 per cent. With in
dustries and private homes, hotels,
apartments and stores to be supplied,
this decrease is bound to result in NOR
tai suffering and possibly illness among
thousands.
One Wilmington coal company, in
a letter to it's regular customers, has
this to say: "The coal strike means
this to all consumers of coal-that
where there was promise, before the
strike, that the industry would be
back to normal and you could expect
an ample supply of the best grade,
you now must face the fact that coal
will again be short this winter, and
that quality and preparation at times
may be sub-standard."
And now, on top of what John L.
Lewis has already done, the miners
threaten to strike again unless they
get more meat. Is there any particu-
lar reason why miners, who have had
the. softest life since the war came
that they ever experienced, should
consider themselves entitled to special
favors in the matter of meat?
The mere fact that such a threat
is made shows how grasping, selfish
and inconsiderate of others union labor
has become since the administration
at Washington began to compromise
the rights of the people at large with
unwarranted concessions to this single
group.

Leprosy is but mildly ron..
gious, and patients with thi, 40
ease should be treated as bym a!S"
beings; most of the anti-lenar I.
should be revised in the Iigbt avs
present knowledge. Some ~ "
diseases reported as ~lenro.y us
Biblical times may not have b III
leprosy. ''D
Leprosy is a chronic in'ecti,.
caused by a germ discovered Nv
DR.. Armauer Hansen of Noruoos,
in 1873. In some parts ~ ~,
world the disease is known a, Hs ns
sens disease, to avoid using tba
term leprosy, which Is territvinr
to the uninyormed. S
The germ O. leprosy is so,,,,
most easily in the nose. ? t,o+
which supports the idea that tbs
disease may be spread by inba
lation.
Few sections OF the world ava

concentration CT lepers is found i,
central Africa. Cases in the United
States have been reported mairIv
from Louisiana, Minnesota .nd
South Carolina. Leprosy is a1,o
found along the coast in persons
who have come from other corr.
tries.
Leprosy Is not inherited. AZ
normal children are born of len.
rous parents (they are separated
from their parents). The disease
is most common in persons be-
tween 20 and so years Of age. The
incubation period extends from
several months to several years.
The disease usually starts as an
ordinary infection, with fevers.
aches and pains, and nasal symp.
toms. Shortly thereafter, large
nodules form under the skin. Is,
pecially on the back Of the hands
and feet, and on the face.
Some Of these Jumps disappear
without leaving any trace, while
others remain and develop white
patches over them. The hair is
frequently lost. AS the disease
progresses, some of the nodules
may ulcerate, with a loss of
fingers and toes resulting.
A second variety Of leprosy ap-
pears as patches on the skin and
degeneration Of the nerves. The
skin is itchy and tingles, and sen.
sation is lost later, as the germs
invade the nerves. As sensation to
heat, cold, and touch leaves, pa
tients burn or freeze their hands
and feet before they realize what
is happening.
A third variety is a mixture Of
the two types.
Leprosy is q long draWn-out IN
lection, lasting for years, and
many patients reach an advanced
age. Soap and water, cleanliness,
good food, exercise, and adequate
sleep are important in caring for
lepers.
Patients should feel that they
are wanted, ard that their disease
is not very contagious. In many
states lepers are permitted to live
at home, as ordinary precautions
limit the danger of spread.

COAL STRIKE TO CUT
FERTILIZER SUPPLY

Clifton A. WOOdrum, president of
the American Plant Food Council,
warned this week that American
farmers will lose approximately
125.OOO to 10000 units of fertilizer
nitrogen during every day of coal
strike"
"The fertilizer industry is al
ready vitally concerned over pros
pects of a nitrogen shortage and
the coal strike. the full impact of
which may not be determined for
several weeks, will have serious
effects on the plant food supply for
the 1946-47 fertilizer year." Wood
rum said.
Meanwhile, a special committee
from the Board of Directors of the
Council has asked the Y. S. Depart
ment Of Agriculture officials to re
examine their nitrogen production
estimates in order to discover any
discrepancies that may exist to the
end that means may be devised TO
inform the farmers as to what they
can expect in the way of supplies
during the heavy shipping season.
WoOdrum added. 'The USDA re-
representatives. have indicated their
Willingness to clarity the nitrOeen
situation as much as possible after
further investigation"
The Councils Special Nitrogen
Committee, in conference with the
USDA representatives, expressed
the opinion that lin the interest OF
our American farmers. as a short
age of nitrogen develops, the mate
rial ear-marked for export should
be cut in the same proportion thai
domestic supplies are reduced"
WOodrum said that 1.-The estimat.
ed nitrogen production program sci
up last. summer by the USDA indi-
Gated that approximately the same
amount of nitrogen would he avail.
able this year for fertilizer as ir
the previous year." but he empha.
sized that FERTILIZER manufacturers
inform us that il has been their eX.
perience that nitrogen is not avail
able in the amount that the Depart
ment has anticipated"
