BELIEVES PROHIBITION CERTAIN. “In my judgment,” says Congress- man John W. Langly of Kentucky, referring to the prohibition amend- ment to the food bill “there are two things just as certain as death and taxes, and they are national prohi- bition and universal woman suffrage jn this country.” He advises every- body to refrain from loss of temper and prepare for the inevitable. though he believes the measure a very far-reaching one to be acted on so hastily, Mr. Langly was number- ed among the 365 Representatives who aided in the final passage of the bill, but it is his earnest hope that it will be administered with conser- vatism, and a due regard for the rights and vital interests of the people whom it will effect. 3 Al- JAIL FOR FOOD PIRATES. Washington, July 10, (Special Cor- respondence). “1 would jail the Ponce de Leon who follows no flag except the one on the windshield of his limousine and endeavors to in- ject perpetual youth into cheap eggs” exclaims Congressman Fred S. Pur- nell of Indiana. He regrets that he had not a hundred votes to give in support of the food control bill aimed at such speculators. There is much in the food bill that does not meet the approval of Mr. Purnell, as in- deed, is the case with a great many Senators and Representatives, but he considers that the good over- shadows the bad, and realizes that we must grant tremendous powers to the Administration to enable it to cope with the problems that are -be- fore us. Representative Purnell de- clares he is willing to swallow the bad | KEYSTONE PARAGRAPHS | On the Uniontown speedway Wed- nesday I. P. Fetterman of Pittsburgh, driving a Peerless car, won high honor and with it a purse of $1,450 and a handsome silver loving cup. Besides winning the automobile dealers’ race of 11214 miles, the Australian pursuit race and the championship of the Uniontown speedway, he shattered the local track’s record, making an aver- age of 91.5 miles in 112% miles. The record was formerly held by Louis Chevrolet, who made 90.4 miles an hour. Fetterman’s time for the 112%- mile grind was 1 hour 13 minutes and 40 seconds.

Kline was slightly injured when an Erie switch engine struck and demolished an oil truck driven by Kline. - Ferrenberg was riding in the truck and, when he jumped, a piece of steel from the shattered machine pierced his body, causing instant death. “Present coal prices may be ex- pected to continue for some time, al- though there will no doubt be a grad- ual reduction to a more reasonable basis. It may never be as cheap again as it has been at times during the last four or five years,” says James E. Roderick, state chief of mines, in his report on the state of the coal pro- duction and trade of Pennsylvania during 1916. It is announced by the Pittsburgh Steel Products company of mammoth building projects, including new plants and a new town, involving expenditure ready begun and a large water works system is being put in with an im- mense pumping station on the river bank. On the mill site ‘will be built the largest works of its kind in the world. Big pays are being received by coal miners in the vicinity of Greensburg. Since coal went skyward miners have reaped a harvest along with the op- erators. A fair average now for a miner is $200 a month. Carlo Riolo, works at Elm Grove, during the two weeks ending June 30, dug 160 wagons of solid coal, which netted him $119.70. Two men were wounded, probably fatally, and another is believed to have been wounded, in a revolver bat- tle between three foreigners in Brad- dock. Several hundred men, women in the measure if by so doing he can assist in lowering the burdensome high prices that are now upon the people. GLENCOE GOSSIP.

Where respiration is rhythmical there is no loss of breath in ‘walking fast, running uphill or going upstairs. The method of preventing breathlessness consists in maintaining the rhythm and the speed of respiration. When the breathing is rhythmic the breathing keeps pace with the step. The out- preathing must be twice the length of the inbreathing, and not more than eighteen or twenty complete breath cir- cuits must be made per minute. special meeting of the school board. Professor Baish declares that when the books recommended by him are not accepted his usefulness is at an end.
