(By W. S. KltUell. Slate Kin Com
missioner.) Owinie to the tiovornincnt's request
Unit all citizens put in their supply
of roal this summer, larger quanti
ties of roal than ever before-are now
stored In all homes in the country.
This coal is all subject to spontane
ous combust ion, and espei ially tin
lignite coal. We would advise all
property OWnon who havo stored
their winter's supply of coal to
watch this very carefully and when
ever the coal commences to burn or
even smoke, move H from where It
i.;, and do not put wale on It for the
more water on it the more it burns;
the only safe way to do is to move
the coal outside and spread it out not
to exceed 4 or fi Inches In thickness
and cover it over with ashes or nam).
Oo not store coal near wood parti
tions or posts and do not pile it up to
the flooring joists above.
In surance money will not repro
duce food, or fuel and will not clothe
or feed our boys in the trenche.--. We
must, during these turbulent times,
conserve every article of food and
material that we produce and manu
facture. We understand that every
man has a personal interest in pre
serving his property from destruc
tion by fire or from loss of any kind,
and he will tell you so as he has
often indignantly told us, bui at the
same time the fact that he is fully In
sured often makes the solicitation
for the safety of his property only of
ordinary or of luke-warni interest.
We know 'that from experience. At
this crisis of our history every citi
zen should feel a keen, active alert
interest in preserving for humr.nity
that which Is their very existence and
life-blood, and should take an extra
ordinary interest in reducing the en
ormous annual fire waste of (his
country.
Imagine what it means to this
country's financial resources when
something like $25,000,000, or the
interest upon $6,2 50,000,000 worth
of bonds is destroyed in a single yar
and goes up in the smoke of great,
senseless, preventable fires. Imagine
if you can the -treasury department
deciding upon a bond Issue of such
size and amount and gathering to
gether a hugh pile of securities and
valuables to take care of the neces
sary interest, then imagine some citi
zen lighting a cigar and carelessly
tossing the lighted match into this
accumulation otsecuritles while hun
dreds of Indifferent citizens stand
around and watch it burn.
Would you not imagine they were
alien enemies? Surely they are help
ing the Kaiser with every dollar's
worth of .property that they destroy
in this country. It is a fact, proven
by statistics tht over 1,500 fires per
day occur thruout the country and
every cloud of smoke from these fires
leaves the country absolutely poorer
by an appreciable degree and retards
it that much in meeting the strain
of war time finance.

American Woman's Respect for Aor

Miss H , the mntron of a Rlrls

one of the Carolines, relates thlf
story :
She had often told her Island
charges about the customs of her own
nntlve land, and was highly pleased
upon receiving In Invitation to n
Thanksgiving dinner, to be held on a
neighboring Islnnd and given by ont
of her pradnntes, who had proudly
specified thai roast turkey would hi
on the bill of fare.
Miss 11 was delighted, and told
her pupils so. Whereupon one of then
nme and said :
"It gives me great pleasure to think
of your coming Joy, Miss H
thonch It gives me pain, also, tc
think of losing Mr. Turkey from out
midst. I have been accustomed tf
seeing that turkey on our Island foi
many yenrs. he being the only resident
turkey we have there. But If In hlf
ripe old age he Is to be eaten, I'm
sure. Miss H , Mr. Turkev would

an undesirable sacrifice. Miss II

A Hon, while an acredlted membei
of the cat family, cannot purr, how
ever happy he may be when you stroke
him, because the hyold bone In hit

This Is one of n number of Interest
ing things discovered about the cut
family recently by scientists at tin
London Zoo. R. I. Pocock, superin
tendent of the zoo, explains that thosi
felldne or cat family that have an elas

all the other species of the fclidae

The roars of the jaguar nnd loop

Correct Heat Records.
Why does a WeutbSf bureau th?r
moinetcr show lower temperatures In
hot weather than the thermometer at
the corner drug store? asks the Popu
lar Science Monthly. When discrepan
ces exist, they are due chiefly to the
fact thnt the official thermometer is
installed in n wooden cage, where it
is open to the air, but screened from
both direct sunshine and the heat re
flected from surrounding buildings.
Onl under such conditions does a
thermometer measure accurately the
temperature of the air.
A thermometer in the sunshine be
comes much hotter than the air around
It, and Its reading simply tells us how
dot the Instrument is, not how hoi
the air is. In lurge cities the weather
bureau thermometer is often Installe d
jn the roof of a high building, where
the temperatures differ somewhat from
:hoae prevailing at the street level. The
jbject sought in this arrangement Is
:o obtain a record of the natural tem
perature of the locality In general,
ather thuu the artificial temperatures
)f the city.

Glass of hot water each morn

from Illness are assured only by
clean, healthy blood. If only every
woman and likewise every man could
realize the wonders of the morning
Inside bath, what a gratifying change
would take place.
Instead of the thousands of sickly,
anaemic-looking men, women and
girls with pasty or muddy complex
ions; instead of the multitudes of
"nerve wreckB," "rundown.," "brain
fags" and pessimists we should see a
virile, optimistic throng of rosy
cheeked people everywhere.
An inside bath is had by drinking,
each morning before breakfast, a
glass of real hot water with a tea
spoouful of limestone phosphate in it
to wash from the stomach, liver, kid
neys and ten yards of bowels the pre

fermentations and poisons, thus
defusing, sweetening and frt shealns
the entire alimentary canal before
putting mere food into the stomach.
Those subject tc sick headache, bil

colds; and partlculary those who have
a pallid, sallow complexion ami who
are constipated very often, are
urged to obtain a quarter pound of
limestone phosphate at the drug store
which will cost but a trifle but Is
sufficient to demonstrate the quick
and remarkable change in both health
and appearance awaiting those who
practice Internal sanitation. We m ist
remember that inside cleanliness is
more important than outsld . be

Kidney and Bladder weakness result
from urle acid, says a noted authority.
The kidneys filter this arid from the
Mood nnd pass it on to the bladder, where
it often remains to irritate and inflame,
causing a burning, soalding sensation, or
setting up an irritation at the neck of
the bladder, obliging you to seek relief
two or three times during the night.
The sufferer is in constant dread, the
water passes sometimes with a scalding
sensation and is very profuse; again,
there is difficulty in avoiding it..
Bladder weakness, most folks oall it,
Wauso they can't control urination.
While it Is extremely annoying and eome
times very painful, this is really one of
the most simple ailments to overcome.
Get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from your pharmacist and take a table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast, continue this for two or three
days. This will neutralise the acids la
the urine so it no longer is a sou roe of
irritation the bladder and urinary or
gans which then act normally again.
Jad Halts is inexpensive, harmless,
and is made from the aeid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with iithia, and
is used by thousands of folks who are
subject to urinary disorders caused by
uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is splen
did for kidneys and causes no bad
