The coal supply of the nation is to

as to provide a substantial increase of
coal at an early date, "still further

AWFUL THINGS FORETOLD
Union of Planetary Bodies Will
' Produce Sun Spot Which
Will Do Damage.
PALE, ANEMIC
GIRLS NEED A
BLOOD TONIC
A Kansas paper observes that on
December 17 there will be unusual
and overbalanced collectidn of six
powerful planetary bodies in the so
lar system grouped on-one side of the
sun. The pull of these planets, Prof.
Albert F. Porta believes, will produce
a gigantic sun spot, which will ex
plode the earth's volcanoes, shake us
with earthquakes and. drown us in
floods. He believes it will pull from
the sun the mightiest sun spot or ex
plosion of gases ever known to. man.
Jvhile astronomers generally agree
with Prof. Porta as to the unusual
situation in the heavens this month,
they do not admit the consequences
he predicts, and point out that nearly
similar groupings of the planets have
occurred before without producing
any cataclysm on the earth. However,
the argument will be decided for us
in a few days. Here is Professor
Porta's distressing prediction:
"Owing to a strange grouping of
six mighty planets, such, as has not
been seen in a score of centuries, the
United States in December will be
swept by the most terrific weather
cataclysm experienced since human
history began. -
"It will be caused by the hugest
sun-spot record a sun-spot that will
be visible to the naked eye. Since
men first began to make record, of
events, no sun-spot has been large
enough to be seen without the aid of
instruments.
"The sun-spot that will appear De
cember 17, 1919, will be a vast wound
in the side of the sun. It will be a
gigantic explosion of flaming gases,
leaping hundreds of thousands of
miles out into space. It will have a
crater large enough to engulf the
earth, much as-Venus might engulf a
football.
"Such a, sun-spot will be rich
enough in electro-magnetic energy to
fling the atmosphere of our planet
into a disturbance without precedence
or parellel. There will be hurricanes,
lightning, colossal rains. .It will be
weeks before the earth will regain its
normal conditions. There win also be
gigantic lava eruptions, great earth
quakes, to say nothing of floods and
fearful cold.
"I make 'this startling prophecy
with no desire to be merely sensation
al or alarming. It is simply because
my study of the planets has revealed
certain results with mathematical
certainty. On December 17, 1919
no less 4han seven planets will pull
jointly on the sun. - These will include
all the mightiest planets, those with
the most powerful pull. Six of them
Mercury, Mars, Venus, Jupiter, Sat
urn and Neptune will be in conjunc
tion; grouped together in the great
est 'league of planets' ever known in
the annals of astronomy. They will
be massed in the narrow limit of 26
degrees on the same side of the sun!
Directly opposite, coming. into oppo
sition with this gigantic league will
be the huge planet Uranus. The mag
netic currents between Uranus and
the six planets will pierce the sun
like a mighty spear. Our earth is
outside the league, at an angle of
nearly 90 degrees in perfect posi
tion to receive almost the full force
of the monster electrical disturbance
as it leaps into activity on what, to
us, will be tne eastern norizon oi tne

and Tablet Form.
Why should any girl or young wo
man continue to have a pale, sallow
complexion and a listless, run-down
system devoid of energy and vitality?
Such young folks are continually
unhappy and dejected simply because
they accept such a condition as their
misfortune, and envy their friends
who are in the bloom of health and
enjoying aft the good things of life.
If such young women would real
ize that their anemic condition is
probably due to thin, impoverished
blood, which could easily, be enriched
by Gude's Pepto-Mangan, how much
happier and attractive they would be.
Gude's Pepto-Mangan is a safe,
beneficial and pleasant tonic for any
one suffering from any ailment caus
ed by poor blood.v If taken regularly
for a few weeks . it will enrich the
blood with thousands of the healthy
red-blood cells that are needed to
carry nourishment to every part of
the bedy.
Pepto-Mangan is sold in both li
quid and tablet form. Both contain
the same medical ingredients.
Buy Pepto-Mangan -at your drug
gist's. Be sure the name "Gude's" is
on the package. Without "Gude's" it
is not Pepto-Mangan.

DISCOURTEOUS TO VISITORS
To The News-Hexald: '
There was once a. little music teach
er, a rennea; gentle woman, wno !
taught music at Rutherford College. !
In her desire to help the school bear
its current expenses th1' little woman
took a crowd of youngsters who
boasted of neither special talent nor !
rare culture, but a willingness to Mo
their best, and trained them in a play
called "The Pennant." The young
sters were faithful, and on Saturday
evening, November 22, the play was
given in the college auditorium, and
was approved by an " appreciative au
dience. As it seemed to please; 'and
having heard that the nearby town of
Morganton which boasted of its
"high-3tocracy" and ultra refinement,
was a good friend of Rutherford, the
idea of taking the play to this town
was suggested., and resulted in a trip
for arranging to de so by the teacher.
She came back radiant, with the re-
marK that the people of Morganton
were-the nicest people she ever saw,
and the youngsters followed her to
Morganton hopeful, and filled with
brightest anticipations, fully expect
ing tolerant and courteous listeners.
When the little teacher began her
prelude and-the hisses from the gal
lery began, the youngsters became
disconcerted .and confused, and lost
courage. The raillery and whistling
from the gallery seemed a queer sort
of civilization to the youngsters, from
boys who boasted of their refined and
cultured parents and grandparents.
The youngsters were not boasters but
they did know how to treat visitors to
their town with kindness and courte
ous politeness.
Rutherford College " does not coast
of' its aristocratic, lineage,- if there
have been any big bugs in.the history
of the school no one knows it, but the
pervading spirit of good fellowship

The same view is held in manufac
turing circles in Charlotte, according
to the Charlotte Observer.
The local coal dealers are using ev
ery effort to make coal supplies go as
fara as possible.
Where an order is received for coal
and it Js found that the party giving
the oroer already has a supply of coal
on hand, the request is denied and
the coal delivered to some other party
that has no coal.
The people are. asked not to become'
especially uneasy over the coal sup
ply and set about in an effort to lay
in a bountiful supply merely to feel
easy. The idea is to give those coal
that are in real need of it.
