The demands on our coal mines
have made fuel hard to obtain. Yet
fuel must be had, for warmth and for
cooking food. So the best thing to
do is to make every shovel of coal do
the most that it can. Do not throw

orally some good coal in them and ii
will pay to shake the sitter.
Pare potatoes thin, and boil the
refuse for the poultry. Spread butter
thin on your bread. Get out the
syrup cup for hot cakes. Eat to live
in these days of self-denial. We don't

what sacrifices we may be called
By practicing these little economies
we will be better prepared.
