In a quiet and unostentatious manner they have performed many deeds of charity of which the public knows very little. Many persons
and institutions have been the recipients of their benevolence, which has been extended so quietly
that few persons have learned of its extent. ; In the long years of their residence here, Mr. and Mrs. Foulke have been conspicuous ' in advancing the art and literary phases of the community. Mr. Foulke's contribution to literature as a writer of biography and history, a poet and translator has received national recognition. His work in behalf of civil service reform is conspicuously appreciated by friends of good government everywhere. The community extends to Mr. and Mrs. Foulke heartiest good wishes upon the fiftieth anniversary of their marriage day.
Protests Against Miss Booth's Removal "After the first outburst of amazement and dissatisfaction over the peremptory order from London notifying Evangeline Eooth that she would be removed as commander of the Salva
tion Army in the United States, a lull succeeded, j but not for long," says the Chicago Post. "It appears that supporters of the organization do not intend to permit the commander to be shelved so easily; and many of the more prominent friends of the organization have registered protests with Gen. Bramwell Booth, head of the International Army. , Not only are they incensed over Miss Booth's arbitrary removal, but they fear for the future of the .work. "Myron T. Herrick, American ambassador to France, is the latest to voice a protest against the action of the London office. Mr. Herrick has been one of the organization's warmest supporters, especially in Ohio. He informed Bramwell Booth that his action would be 'as disastrous to the people of the country as to the Salvation Army in America.' Felix Warburg, the
banker, recently sent a cable of similar purport to London; and a number of other prominent
supporters oi the organization are planning "X joint communication. So far no word has been received at American headquarters relating to
reconsideration of the removal order. "The action of Gen. Bramwell Booth, in view
of the remarkable prestige the Salvation Army has gained in this country under Miss Booties administration, leads to the suspicion that it
must have been prcmpted by international jeal
ousy. Heretofore the army's work has been
comparatively free from interference by the London office, but the plan outlined calls for
more direct supervision from the international
headquarters. Miss Booth understands the work
of the organization and the conditions it must
meet more thoroughly than any set of officers who would be sent out from London, and the achievements and the material prosperity of the Salvatjon Army are apt to suffer if Gen. Bramwell B'ooth persists in his course."

On entering a train does the man or the woman go down the aisle first? A. Li. D. A. The) escort usually permits the woman to precede him. Q. How did the privilege of sending and receiving mail free of postage develop? M. T. A. This privilege was once, enjoyed by the president of the United States, lre president, heads of departments, senators and representatives, and other officials of the government during.their official terms. For a time all former presidents and widows of former presidents also had this right, but by an act of 1S73 the privilege was
abolished. By later acts it was conferred on all officers of the government in the case of official correspon- ' dence.

TODAY'S TALK
By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can,"
"Take It."

"I WANT TO WRITE" I receive so many letters from readers of these Talks asking me how to become a writer. I receive no letters asking me how to become a talker! Writing is expressing yourself in print exactly as you express yourself to others with whom you come in daily contact. The greatest literature is based upon true expression. Of course everybody does not have the gift of fine formation of words in expression, Of course everybody does not have the gift of fine formation of words in expression, any more than everybody is able to sing like Caruso or McCormack. For, after all, it is more than half gift. Stevenson tells in one of his books that he deliberately set out to become a writer. And so at a very early age he started to read everything which Interested him. He carried a pad of paper and a pencil with him everywhere he went, and wrote and re-wrote his thoughts and his interpretations of other thoughts. So that, though fine writing is really a gift in the same way that fine coversation is, both can be improved. In either case, there must be something back of mere words. If you have something worth saying, and can express it simply, people will read and listen. The greatest writing is the simplest. The study of great writing will help you. For words being merely blocks out of which the writer builds his thoughts, high purpose is required beneath them to make them stand solidly and to give them endurance and life. The charm of such writers as Stevenson, Whitman and Shakespere, lies in the fact that they had the ability to see clearly and then to put down, simply, exactly what they saw. The great painting is the one which stimulates your mind to see, even beyond what the artist saw and that is a point the useful writer must bear in mind. The writer who is able to stimulate my own thoughts and make them work in keener measure, is the one I admire most and who helps me most. If you want to write, first have something worthy to say. Then write, and write and write and write!

THE PUBLIC LIBRARY Upon the shelves the good books stand, unblemished by a reader'e hand; the gilt is fresh upon, their backs, the covers show no seams or cracks; the stately tomes with wisdom stored make email appeal to readers bored by anything in print whose drift is to instruct or to uplift. The queenly dame who is in charge remarks to me, "Our stock is large ot volumes stuffed with useful lore; we have nine tons, or maybe more. Our shelves are loaded to the guards with works of sages and of bards, so choose a book to suit your need, and take i home with you and read." "I'm looking for a book," I say, "a noble work by Bertha Clay, wherein a serving maid named Luke is married to a belted duke; that noble's jealous aunts now rush to put cold poison in her mush; riot follows plot till. readers quail this is an outline of the tale, and I'll be glad as glad can be, if you
can find this bookfor me." "All, woe
is me, exclaims the dame, "you mod
era birds are all the same. I thought when I beheld you here, your face so thoughtful and austere, that from the shelf you'd promptly jerk a helpful and uplifting work. But no one wants those noble tomes; you reach for bunk like 'Sherlock Holmes!'"
By FREDERICK J. H.1SKIS WASHINGTON. D. C. Oct. 11 Old King Coal, whose condition ha? been a source of worry to himself and to everybody else for six months or more, is about to undergo a rigid diagnosis to determine what kind of an operation, if any, is necessary to restore him to normal health and efficiency. In the course of this diagnosis th-? merry monarch may be suzjected to what surgeons call and exploratory op eration. Indeed, under the authorization of congress, the experts who are merry monarch may be subjected to may do almost anything to the patient Congress and the general public seem to be in much the same frame of mind with respect to the coal industry that was manifested by the harrassed wife of a chronic invalid "Sometimes," she said, "I almost wish he'd get well or something!" When anything gets wrong with coal the fhole economic and industrial establishment is upset, and coal ha3 been "ailing" for a long time. Ths condition became acute as a result c the strike that began last April and
eventually congress decided that something had to be done about it. Hence the commission of experts with a fund of $200,000 to expend and year's time in which to make a thorough study to
determine hat should be done with
coal.
It Is somewhat of an anomaly that in this case the patient itself is no
longer suffering, for the time being at least and whatever heroic remedies
are to be applied are for the benefit
of others. As soon as the strikes were settled it was certain that all the miners in both the bituminous and anthracite fields would have steady employment at good wages for at least a year, and that all the operators would have a ready market for all the coal they can produce, with prices higher than they have ever been before. This
means prosperity and contentment for both miners and operators until the coal shortage has been provided for. Under normal conditions, as the public has been informed repeatedly within recent months, the coal industry is over-manned and over-mined. There are too many mines to supply the tonnage required, and too many miners to produce the tonnage. The result of this so far as the operators are concerned has been that low-cost mines have had everything their own way, while coal prices have been de termined largely on the basis of production costs in mines that really should not be open and these high-cost mines have shown little if any profits. So far as the miners are affected, the chief trouble has been irregular and intermittent employment. Thus
the miner has had to fight for and get a wage scale unduly high in order, that he may live, when he is working only one-half to two-thirds of the time, and this in turn has resulted in increased prices to the consumer and in multiplied disadvantages to the owners of the high cost mines. Under the strike settlements the miners have gone back to work at the old wage scales, and in addition to this they have every reason to expect more days of employment and more overtime during the next 10 or 12 months than they have ever bad in a like period. Accordingly the individual miner is elated and feels that the strike was well worth all that it cost him. Officials of the mine workers' organization, however, are inclined to look farther ahead. They know that the wholly satisfactory conditions in
prospect will prevail only for a limited time, and that next year, or the year after, the industry will be back on a normal basis of too many workers and too many mines unless in the meanwhile something has been done to stabilize it. For this reason these officials wrote into the agreements settling the strike the provision for a governmental investigation which resulted in the bill passed by congress creating the commission of seven experts to be appointed by the President. Leaders of the miners realize that permanent good can come to their people only through a thorough rehabilitation ot the coal industry, and they have prom
ised to co-operate with the commission
in every way. They say that the inves
tigation will vindicate all the con
tentions they have made to the necessity of wage and working agree
ments on a national basis.
The operators were not so keen for
the investigation, but they have agreed
to it and there is no reason to doubt
their good faith. A large element
among them is alive to the fact that some reforms or changes must be
worked out in the coal industry. Public Interest Is Vital One.
The public's interest in the work
about to be undertaken by the com
mission is vital, although many peo
ple may be prone to jump to the con
clusion that everything is all right
now that the strike is over. The total
cost of the dislocation in the great fuel industry will not be known for months, but as the weeks go by and

IF KINDEYS ACT -BAD, TAKE SALTS Says Backache is Sign You
Have Been Eating Too Much Meat.
When you wake up with backache and dull misery in the kidnev region
it generally means you have been eat
ing too much meat, says a well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid
which overworks the kidneys in their
effort to filter it from the blood and
they become sort of paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys get sluggish and clog you must relieve them,
like you relieve your bowels; remov
ing all the body's urinous waste, else
you have backache, sick headache,
dizzy epells; your stomach sours tongue is coated, and when the weath er is bad you have rheumatic twinges
The urine is cloudy, full of sediment,
channels often get sore, water scalds
and you are obliged to seek relief two
or three times during the night.
Either consult a good, reliable physi
cian at once or get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of wa
ter before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon Juice, com
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize
acids in the urine so it no longer ir
ritates, thus ending bladder weakness. Jad Salts i3 a life saver for regular
meat eaters. It is inexpensive, cannot injure and makes a delightful, effervescent "lithiajwater drink. Advertisement.

Every line of industry and business
and almost every household in the
country will feel the effects of the
coal controversy and if the general public comes to the conclusion that the same unfortunate state of affairs
is constantly imminent unless something iadone it is a foregone conclusion that something will be done. Much will depend upon the diagno
sis of the experts and that in depends
upon the experts. They are called upon for a report on the industry as a

this head comes "the advisability of legislation having to do with government or private ownership, regulation

on Old King Coal may come in. Nationalization or goverment ownership of the mines has long been advocated by most of the miners and by a certain public group, but this is the first time that the proposal has been in any way recognized by congress. It may be said that there are few if any real supporters of this proposal in congress, or in any other branch of the government, but the significant fact remains that the proposal is now tJ be considered most seriously. Short of nationalization of the mines a minor operation may be recommended in -the way of government control
of the industry along the lines that the
transportation industry is regulated
through the interstate commerce commission and the United States railroad
labor board.
Indeed, the railroads and coal are so
closely identified that it may be deem
ed advisable to handle them as one proposition. The railroads consume
30 per cent of the coal that is produced -
and they haul practically every ton
of it that is used by other consumers.
Admittedly distribution is one of the
most important phases of the coa!
problem and little can be done toward
stabilizing the industry until it "has been solved. Only the extremely sanguine will expect any action by congress on the sub
ject for many months to come. The
commission has a year in which to do its work, and it is quite within the bounds of probabilities that an exten'ion of time will be asked, while after," t its diagnosis or report has been sub- " mitted congress will undoubtedly be slow to act if the commission recommends anything at all radical or revolutionary. If the time required to pass the new tariff law may be taken as a guide no step so extreme as government ownershio could be taken within the next decade.
