Many remedies to reduce coal
prices have been suggested" said +.
8. Peabody, OF Chicago, chairman OF
the coal-production committee, yester-

ST. Louis, Mo. Dec H. 1917
The board Of directors OF the Ma
tional Association OF Dyers and
Cleaners decided to call on all OF IT'S
members to devote the time Of their
plants. during Christmas week, to
the cleaning Of school children's gar
ments. Contagious diseases among
school children are much more prev.
alent during the second half OF the
school year than any other time II
IS believed that these contagious dis.
eases can be materially reduced by
having an OF the outer garments OF
school children cleaned Millions Of
disease germs OF every character ac-
cumulatc in these garments worn
week after week. Il IS said the
cleaning process win make them as
clean and fresh as they We're when
bought new in September
The enormous DARN, made by the
war, on the number OF physicians
and nurses is one Of the reasons Civ
en- for this movement The cleaners
believe, according to their board Of
directors, that the lessening of con
tagious diseases among children, even
in q small degree, will be OF material
assistance.
Another reason. as stated by one
of their members, is that the high
cost OF living will necessarily lower
the vitality among those children
who are not provided with the same
nourishment as in ordinary times.
and the children win thus be more
susceptible to the ravages OF the or
dinary contagious diseases among
them.
The hoard Of directors has recon-
meLded to the entire membership Of
that organization. which consists Of
the leading cleaning establishments
