Nashville, Tenn.—Maurice Francis
pgan, United States minister to Den-
mark; Senator Francis G. Newlands
of Nevada; J* O. Wright, chief drain-
age engineer Pf Florida, and Herbert
Myrick of Springfield, Mass., were the
speakers at a general meeting of the
Southern Commercial Congress Mon-
day,1 which concluded the first of the
three days' session of the congress.
'Danish Dairying" was the subject of
Mr. Egan's address, in which he re-
viewed the development of dairies in
Denmark and pointed out the great
wealth which awaits American farm-
ers who adopt the same methods.
Senator Newlands advocated the ap-
propriation of at least $60,000,000 per
year for ten years by the government
to dam the great rivers and store
their flood waters in such a manner
as to prevent freshets and afford a
constant flow of water throughout the
year.
Herbert Myrick said the Southern
Commercial Congress has made cer-
tain that rural credit systems will be
established, which will enable small
farmers to pool their interests and
'obtain the money necessary to finance
their operations. He also said the
congress will be instrumental in in-
augurating farm loan associations,
which will make land the basis for
bonds which will be better invest-
ments than government securities.
J. O. Wright told of how Florida
has tackled the drainage problems,
and advocated similar activity in other
states.
Commissioner of Corporations Her-
bert Knox Smith addressed the con-
gress on the waterways question, and
suggested means pf bringing them to
a higher degree of efficiency. Ex-
pressing the belief that the water*
ways of the country are not being
used adequately, Commissioner Smith
explained that this was due to the
lack of unity in the whole transporta-
tion system and the lack of effective
water terminals properly controlled.
Speaking of the ownership and con-
trol of water terminals, Mr. Smith
asserted that "we really have but two
ports, New Orleans and San Fran-
cisco, that in any way represent—in
organization, in public control and in
traffic efficiency — what a harbor
should be." Of the others he said a
majority of the active frontage is pri-
vately controlled. The blame for this
condition, he said, lies with the local
governments, state and municipal.
"There is just one principle," he de-
clared, "through which this situation
can be effectively remedied. Respon-
sibility for terminals must be placed
on the localities. Construction of
waterway channels by the government
should be absolutely conditioned upon
the assured existence thereon of ade-
quate terminals provided by the local-
ity and by it kept permanently open
for the general benefit of the users
of that channel."
The conference adopted resolutions
providing that congress shall be ask-
ed to provide for a survey of all dis-
tricts in need of drainage. This reso-
lution'will undoubtedly be adopted by
congress.
Contract for Coal Awarded.
New York!—The Panama Railroad
Company awarded the contract for
coal at the Panama can^l for the next
two years to the Pocahontas Fuel
Company of Pocahontas, Va. The
contract calls for delivery of 550,000
tons a year at $2.70 a gross ton, with
a reduction of 5c a ton should the
price of coal decline during the sec-
ond year.
Thirty-One Billion Short Toihs of Orig-
inal Supply—20,056,941 *Qons
Mined During 1910. v
Washington.—As a result of recent
surveys and compilation the United
States geological survey has an-
nounced its estimate of the original
coal supply of Texas 8,000,000,000
short tons of bituminous coal and 23,-
000,000,000 short tons of lignite, mak-
ing a total of 31,000,000,000 short tons
as the original supply. From this
there had been mined to the close of
1910 a total-of 20,056,941 short tons,
which represents an exhaustion of ap-
proximately -30,000,000 tons, the ex-
haustion being one-tenth of 1 per cent
of the original supply. The supply
left in the ground at the close of 1910
would be equal to 1,900 times the pro-
duction of that year. The survey also
finds that the bituminous fields,
known to contain workable coal cover-
ing 8,200 square miles and that 5,300
square miles, not so well known, may
contain workable coaL
Must Pay the Differential.
Austin, Tex.—Cotton and other
commerce of Texas will continue to
have to pagr the differential pre-
scribed by the railroad commission of
this state, for Wednesday the su-
preme court \ of the commonwealth re-
versed the judgment of the third
court of civil appeals and affirmed
that of the district court in the case
of the Railroad Commission vs. Gal-
veston Chamber of Commerce et al,
a case which has been slow in reach-
ing a final determination.
It was an action begun in the
Travis county district court by the
business interests of Galveston and
shippers who have been carrying the
burden of the differential in competi-
tion with others.
The sum and substance of Wednes-
day's opinion is that the court says
that it can find no discrimination in
the record as presented, and there-
fore, not finding any unjust discrimi-
nation, it can not interfere with any
rate or regulation ihade by the com*
mission.
Crazy Snake Dead.
Oklahoma City,—"Crazy Snake," the
Indian responsible for an uprising in
Oklahoma a few years ago, and whose
"real name is Chitto Harjo, is dead.
"Crazy Snake" died Saturday n^ar Old
Hickory, the stomping ground of the
Creeks when they made the out-
breaks during 1908. It is reported
that the old .chief died peacefully in
flls tepee. The Indian always con-
tended that his tribe had been robbed
of their land by the whites, an<! on
several occasions went to Washington,
where he appeared before the senate.
Failing to get what he believed to be
justice, he started an uprising in Mc-
intosh, Okusfee and adjoining coun-
ties that one time threatened the lives
of many settlers and was probably the
last of its kind in this country.
Supreme Court Ends Patent Case.
Washington.—The last hope that
the supreme court might hear argu-
ments on the patent case vanished
Tuesday when the court announced its
refusal to reconsider its conclusion.
Renewed efforts will now be made, it
is understood, to have congress
amend the patent laws so as to limit
the rights to use patents. No reason
was assigned for the denial of re-
hearing, but it is generally under-
stood none of the justices who con-
curred in the decision desired to re-
consider his vote.
Two Big Deals at Bay City.
Bay City, Tex.—Two big deals have
been closed whereby the Moore-Cor-
tes Canal Company has sold out its
pumping plant, canals and warehouses
to the Markham Irrigation Company
and has made a sales contract cover-
ing its 16,000 acres of land watered
by the canals.

San Antonio, Tex.—The shipment of

Southwest Texas this spring. The
sheep industry is becoming an im-
portant one, and the animals have
passed through the winter in good

A WONDERFUL HEALING INFLUENCE
IN KIDHEY TROUBLES.
A year and a half ago I was taken
with a severe attack of kidney trouble
that pained me to such an extent that
morphine had to be given me. Wv at-
tended by a doctor who pronounced It
as stone in the bladder and prescribed
Lithla Water. I took Lithia Water
and tablets for some time and received
no relief from them. I stopped taking
medicines for some time and having
some of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root In
the house, I decided to try it and felt
much relieved; while taking the sec-
ond bottle commenced to pass gravel,
in all at least a half dozen or more

since and In all have taken one bottle
and a half and feel very grateful to

Up and Down.
Senator Davis, in an interview at
Ozark, derided good humoredly the
aristocratic pretentions that too many
Americans, as soon as they get rich,
assume.
"It's hard to be aristocratic In a
democracy like this," said Senator Da-
vis. "We've got no criterion, no meas-
ure, and hence, as aristocrats, we
never can tell where we stand.
"'Mrs. Dash Is no longer in our
set,' a woman once said at a tea.
" 'Yes, so I understand,' said an-
other woman.
" 'Yes,' went on the first woman,
with a haughty Bneer; "yes, she
dropped out some time ago.'
"'Is that so?' said the other.' *1
was under the impression that she
climbed out.'"

Filipinos Dislike Autos.
The reckless, and Insolent automo-
bilist is hated the world over. In the
Philippines, where most of the auto-
mobllists are foreigners, and where
the natives have been used to loiter
comfortably in the roads after the
fashion of easy going southern coun-
tries, the automobiles have long been
a grievance, and, failing to secure ef-
fective regulation, the Filipinos have
adopted the practice of rolling big
boulders into the roadway as a hint
not to turn > corners at a breakneck
■peed. 1

Tears had passed, the political

presidency had but now been knocked,
in a dignified manner, into a cocked
hat.

although she declined to talk for pub-
lication, her friends were less reti-

Little Harold lives In Broad Ripple.
His mother got him ready for bed
one cold night, and to be sure he
would be warm enough during th%
night she took extra preoauttoas, re-
lates the Indianapolis News. Aftes
she had put on his little fussy paja-
mas she tucked him oarefully is be-
tween the wool blankets. Thea, to
make doubly sure, she got a hot water
bottle for him—and the youngster
was apparently as snag aa oould b%

Why Should a Chicken .
Lay a Soft-Shelled Egg?
Because, Willie, die chicken don't know how to create a hard-sheDcd egg
it has some food with lime in it
So chicken-raisers often provide limestone gravel, broken oyster shells or Tf
other form of lime.
Let the chicken wander free and it finds its own food and behaves sensibly.
* Shut it up and feed stuff lacking lime and the eggs are soft-shelled.
Let's step from chickens to human beings.
, Why ^ is a child "backward** and why does a man or woman have nervous pros-
tration or brain-fag ? There may be a variety of reasons., but one thing is certam.
If the food is deficient in Phosphate of Potash the gray matter in the nerve rrw
tres and brain cannot be rebuilt each day to make good the cells broken down by the
activities of yesterday.
Phosphate of Potash is the most important element Nature demands to un
albumin and water to make gray matter.
Grape-Nuts food is heavy in Phosphate of Potash in a digestible form.
A chicken cant always select its own food, but a thoughtful m«n can select sa
able food for his children, wife and himself.
