CLUB FOR NEW COMMERCE BODY President Musser Sends Letter Telling Why Organization Should, Be Formed Commendation of the proposed businessmen's organization is being re cei\ ed from all sides by tho temporary committee charged with the prelimi naries incident to the formation of tho association on Wednesday evening. A letter received by the committee from John S. Musser, president of the, Harrisburg Rotary Club, is in line with the. comments heard. The letter is as follows: •'Personally, the writer feels that Harrisburg would be taking a retro grade step and a very decided retro grade step, if it was not represented In a general and a decided way by such in organization as is planned. Fully realizing what advertising of our d|ty means, having experience through an other organization of which Harris nurg has obtained quite a little pub licity, we firmly believe that Harris burg should maintain a permanent and effective organization, under whatever name may be chosen, and Harrisburg Itself given every opportunity to real ize from the benefit of this advertising. It does not follow that each Individual will receive direct benefit from an or ganization of this kind, but we all, collectively, whether we live in Har risburg or its immediate vicinity, are affected very much by whatever move ment that may attain to Harrisburg HS a city. "I sincerely hope to see this organi zation started with a permanent and effective party of live-wires who are willing and able to do something for Harrisburg and you may count on the writer doing his share. "Wishing you all compliments of the season, I am. "Very truly yours, "JOHN S. MUSSER. President."

Postum is made only of clean, hard wheat and a small per cent, of New Orleans molasses. It tastes much like the higher grades of Java, but is absolutely free from caffeine, the drug in coffee, which causes so much headache, sleeplessness, indigestion, nervousness and heart trouble. Coffee drinker* can learn something of value by a 10 days' change to Postum. Then, as the coffee poison is eliminated from the system, the brain works clear, nerves become steady, and the gradual return of peace and comfort will show plainly. "There's a Reason" for POSTUM Postum now comes in two forms: Regular Posturo must be boiled 15 to 20 minutes. Instant Postum—is a soluble powder A scant teaspoonful stirred in a cup of hot water dissolves instantly. The convenience of Instant Postum is app irent. But, when prepared according to direc tions. botta kinds are exactly the same. The ost per cup is about equal. i —Grocer# everywhere sell both kinds.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH KEYSTONE STATE LEADS IN MINK Remarkable Record Shown in Re port of Chief of Mines James E. Roderick Advance sheets of the report of James E. Roderick, State Chief of Mines, for the operations of 1912 show that the production of coal in Pennsyl vania broke all record in that year. The aggregate output touched 245,- 257,361 short tons, of which 160,830,- 492 were bituminous and 84,426,869 anthracite. This tonnage, says Mr. Roderick, is about one-half of the whole tonnage of the United States for that year and about one-fourth of the tonnage of the world. The best previous record was 235,615,459 tons, made in 1907. A striking comparison Is made of the output of 44,538,972 tons in 1880. The section of the report just made public deals chiefly with the soft coal. > Just 280 of the 458 mines in the State are in the bituminous belt and in the • year covered by the report Vesta No. 4 mine, of the Vesta Coal Company, led with 1,555,420 tons. The best anthra cite mine was Prospect of the t Valley Coal Company, with 1,152,690 tons, Woodward of the Lackawanna L being next with 1,012,329 tons. The , coal output wus worth $300,000,000 at j the mines and the consumers probably , paid $700,000,000. "in the bituminous trade there is the usual complaint regarding low ■ prices," says the Chief. "Put this is a condition that is unavoidable as long as the output is unrestricted and the present cut-throat methods are followed. Without some co-operation between the producers to stop cutting of prices no improvement in this re spect can be hoped for, and although the output may be very large the mon etary returns are frequently very un satisfactory. This condition does not apply to the anthracite region. The coal produced by the great anthracite corporations is regulated in quantity and price, with the result that the profits are large." The Chief says car shortage and in ability to obtain miners and helpers aided to keep down the output. The conditions of the two-year bituminous region contract, with the men will "probably increase somewhat the cost of production, but to offset this phase of the trade there will be two years of peace in the bituminous and four In the anthracite refelon." The Chief notes a big gain in the export trade and hopes that it will be permanent. He also says: "The question of safety of mines and the I protection of the employes, along with first aid training, took a prominent place among the incidents of the year." Tie declares that Pennsylvania has taken the lead in the matter of proposed mining legislation. Inci dentally he notes that the coke pro duction for 1912 aggregated 24,682,- 474 short tons and made a record. Mining institutes and vocational Rchools are highly commended for tho work they are doing to promote intel ligence among miners; the safety lamp development is praised, and in regard to accidents it is said: "If the acci dents resulting from carelessness and disobedience of rules could bo elimi nated, the fatalities in the mines would not. be greater than in many other vo cations in the cities. * * * So much has been written regarding the accidents in the coal mines of the Inited States that a foreigner might think we had no mining laws in this country or that if we had any they are not being enforced. A compari son of accidents In Pennsylvania with thos eof Great Britain, however, dis closes the fact that we are conducting our mining operations with as great care as they are in that country. The total number of fatalities In this coun try, while deplorably large, is not as large as In Great Britain," notwith standing the fact that we produce three times as much coal per em ploye."

President Judge of Dauphin County, George Kunkel. Those of us who re call the contest In which he was first 1 the bench, well remember i the attacks made upon his record as a Republican organization man. We re member how the people were told that ho was simply a servant of the "gang" and that as judge, he would be a pliant tool in their hands. We all recall with what feelings we awaited his decisions n the historic Capitol grafting cases: , how would he construe the law? Would .. fo A Ket his politics and rise to the situation and see that justice was meted out to the seemingly guilty ones? Would he permit any "invisible gov i ernment to dictate to him? The answer to all this is history, written in , the court dockets of Dauphin county. , Now, after ten years of faithful ser vice on the bench, the people of Dau phin county have again called him to preside in that honored position. This is not In the least surprising, but when we consider the attacks that were made upon him by the opposition at that time, and note the change in the estimate put upon his work and record of the past ten years, by the very men who then so bitterly assailed him, we may be pardoned for making the state ment that with no thought of disparag | ing the honorable gentlemen already mentioned for thi great honor, he stands pre-eminently the man for the occasion. That the Democratic organization of Dauphin county considered him a most admirable judge, was certainly evidenc ed when Mr. McCormlck's own organi zation placed him on their ticket at tiie last election. We wish to ask now In the light of all this, will it he pos sible for the Democratic organization of the State to make any dangerous at tack on him or his fitness, after one of Theb °* ill i# hlw SI Opal jar §ll inside Be sure to get II real Resinol If you want to get rid of eczema, pimples, or other distressing skin eruption, you will accept no "sub stitute" for Resinol.
