Old Mine Kerkrade Faces Shortened Lifespan In 25 Years
Old Kerkrade coal mine in south Tolland, Europe's oldest dating to 1115, may exhaust in 25 years as borings fail to find new coal below the deepest stratum. Currently producing about 700000 tons annually, the mine is state property leased since 1846 to the Maastricht Aachen Railway company, which pays a share of workings value to the government. In 1924 Dutch coal output totaled 9 600 000 tons.

Removing Coffee Stains From White Goods
Fresh coffee stains may be removed from tablecloths and other white goods by pouring boiling water on them from a height of two or three feet into a catching bowl. The stain is then washed with soap and water. Wool or silk should be sponged with cold or lukewarm water. Remove grease spots with grease solvents like gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, ether, naphtha, or benzol. Old stains may require special chemicals.
