Winter's Coal In April
Right now is the time to buy your year's
supply of coal.
Not as you need it during- the cold winter
weather.
Very often coal shipped in December,
January, February and March is frozen into
a solid mass. It is impossible to pick out
the slate and bone or to screen out the fine
dirt. The result is you get slaty and dirty
i coal.
Coal shipped now is prepared in very
good condition—and you will see a differ

GEORGE F. BAER
Late President of the Reading Rail
way Company
Philadelphia, April 27.—George F.
Baer. president of the Philadelphia and
Reading Railway, and one of the lend
ing railroad and coal mining authori
ties in the United States, died in his
city home, 1718 Spruce street, at 7.43
o'clock last night. Mr. Baer was 72
years old and his death was directly
due to uraemic poisoning.
Mr. Baer had a stroke while on the
way to his office on Saturday. It was
said that Mr. Baer had gone to his
office against the wishes ot the family
physician.
Except for a few brief moments of
semi-consciousness, Mr. Baer was in a
state of coma from the time he fell to
the sidewalk until he breathed his last.
Airs. Baer, her live daughters and sons
in-law were at the bedside of the hus
and and father when he died.
The story of the life of George £'.
Baer is a narrative of how a boy born
in modest circumstances gradually
climbed the ladder of success until
he gained the reputation of being one
of the foremost railroad authorities in
the country.
I'rouiinent as an Attorney
Mr. Baer was prominent as an at
torney. Ills legal talents especially be
came known when the government
was Instituting wholesale suits against
corporations suspected of not being
within the purports of the Sherman
Anti-Trust law.
In every sense of the term he was a
self-made man. Born in Landisville,
Somerset county, Pa., on September
26, 1842, Mr. Baer obtained his early
knowledge in a country school.
At the age of 13 he went to work in
of the office of the Somerset Demo
crat, where he learned the printing
trade after having served as a printer's
devil, composer and associate editor.
By saving their small incomes. Air.
Baer and his brother Henry were en
abled to purchase the newspaper
shortly before the outbreak of the
Civil War.
After his day's work as editor of the
newspaper in which he was a partner,
the young editor devoted his time to
the study of law. The call to fight for
the Stars and Stripes became so strong
in 1862, however, that he ceased his
studies for the time being and organ
ized the One Hundred and Thirty
third Pennsylvania Volunters and was
accordingly elected captain by the pa
triots of Somerset.
Was Against the Heading
During his career as an attorney Mr.
Baer looked at'ter claims against the
Heading. His ability was recognized
by officials of that railroad and he
was offered the post of counsel, which
(he accepted.
Subsequently he became a director
of the company, but being unable to
agree with President McLeod, he re
signed.
In 1893, Mr. Baer gained promi
nence by aiding J. Pierpont Morgan
in reorganizing the Philadelphia and
Reading Railway.
He was elected president of the
Reading Railway and the Central Rail
road of New Jersey in 1901, succeed
ing John Harris.
In many parts of the country Mr.
Baer was known as "Divine Right"
Baer. This name was given him after
a letter bearing his signature and stat
ing that "rights and interests of labor
ing men would not be guarded by agi
tators but by men to whom God in His
Infinite wisdom has given the control
of the property interests of the coun
try."
He later denied having written this
letter.
llel<l Many Positions
He was president of the Philadei-1
phia and Reading Railway, the Phila
delphia and Reading Coal and Iron I
Company, the Central Railroad of New j
Jersey, the Atlantic City Railroad, the
Reading Paper SI ills Company and the
Keyßtone Coal Company. He was in
addition a director of the Lehigh and
Hudson River Railway, the Allentown
Terminal Railway, the Pennsylvania
Steel Company, the Cambria Iron J
Company, the Allentown Iron Com
pany, the Cambria Steel Company, the |
Reading Trust Company and the Penn- i
sylvania Company for Insurances or.
Lives and the Granting of Annuities. I
He was also chairman of the Reading j
Iron Company.
Funeral arrangements have not yet i
been completed. It is understood, I
however, that services will be held at |
the Baer Philadelphia residence at
10.30 o'clock Wednesday morning and
that the body will be taken to Reading
for burial. Services, it is expected,
will be held in the Baer home at Read
ing Wednesday afternoon. It is
planned to have both services con
ducted with the utmost simplicity.
Officers of the Reading Railway to
day discussed the practicability of hav
ing all trains on the system stop for
a few minutes during the funeral serv
ices.
Hundreds of telegrams of condolence
! are being received by the Baer family.

spread from coast to coast, and taken

FJICTi OF SAFETY
SHOULD BE WATCHED
Commissioner Dixon Gives Some
Good Advice in the Series
of Weekly Talks
Dr. Samuel G. Dixon, State Com- I
missioner of Health, has made some J
very timely remarks in his weekly i
talks on health. He discusses the fac
tor of safety in daily life. Not long
ago the commissioner told of the dan
ger attending fatigue. Now he tells
ihow to approach the line of safety
land how to keep from getting over it.
Dr. Dixon says:
"The engineer who plans a bridge
or a skyscraper makes his calcula
tions, based upon the strength of the
steel; then he adds the factor of
safety. After considering the break
ing strain, which tests have shown
material will stand, he generally mul
tiplies this by three for additional se
curity.
"In the physical structure of our
bodies there is included a factor of /
safety. Under all of the ordinary con-1
ditlons of life this margin protects us.
It takes care of the strains Incidental!
to the rational existence for which the I
calculations of the Creator evidently
intended us.
"When the body is exhausted byl
overwork and underfeeding, or by dis-1
sipation and excesses, this factor ofj
safety Is so reduced that it fails to
protect and we become easy victims to I
communicable or organic disease. |
"While modern conditions of living I
make exceptional demands upon us,!
these are more than offset by the im
provement in living conditions, as sta
tistics prove that the average span of
human life is being gradually length
ened. The thing which we should
guard against Is excessive and irra
tional indulgences. Ordinarily our In
telligence is a sufficient guide If we
permit It to govern us. It is seldom
that we presume upon our strength
without being aware of the fact.
"Be temperate and the factor of
safety will carry you throusrh the re
quirement* of your every-day work."
