Uncle Sam is Held Up in Buying Fuel

HAT the United States government
Is held up" and made to pay ex-
orb1tant prices for coal and oil for
fuel Is the charge made by Brigadier
General ]. B. Aleshire, quartermaster
general Of the army. in his annual re-
port.
By law, fuel supplies for the army
must be purchased under the bidding
.system, the lowest bidder getting the
contract. General AIeshire says that
under the present system bidders
communicate the amount Of their bids
ito one another, and trade agreements
keeping up high prices are thereby
maintained.
"a The general asks that congress give
him authority to use his discretion
IN purchasing fuel, so tina the gov
ernment may escape the present sys-
tenn Of excessive prices. Such author
ity has already been granted to Off
GERS Of the navy department.
AS an example of the excessive
prices demanded and obtained under
the bidding system, General Aleshire
cites the case Of the transport Burn
side, operating between the Pacific
coast and the Philippines.
On n occasion it was necessary
to coal the Burnside under an emerg-
ency without asking bids. In open
market coal was purchased at $3.50 a
ton, for 400 tons. Previously the
army had paid $5.25 a ton for the
same grade Of coal, under the bidding
system. -Four hundred dollars was
saved on the one purchase, and it is
estimated that by buying regularly in
Che open market $4,000 a year could
be saved In coal purchases for this

Good Health,

Good health is the pivot of a happy
life. Money will buy it sometimes, but
it can and does exist with a lean peck
etbook. Those who r tied TO work
ing hours retain health by living more
or less by rule, by regular habits of eat
ing, by careful doses of recreation. and
by an abundance of sleep. Knowing
what we do about the ~recuperative
power of sleep, it is not to be wonder
ed at that we spend literally for bed
furnishings-it is rather strange that
with knowledge and expense we do not
have a keen desire for bed at proper
season.
