plan FOR CUT
in COAL BILL
Workers In Bureau of Mines
Prepare Lessons In
ECONOMY.

A unique method for financing a
big slice of the next liberty bond
issue practically without cost TO sew
eral millions of citizens was outlined
yesterday, by Van H. Manning, Di-
rector of the Bureau of Mines. de-
paTtment of the Interior, in a state
ment to the public on how to save
coal bills. His proposition, which he
claims will result In the average saw
ing this next winter from $50 to 500,
is as follows:
Americans are proverbially very
wasteful. While it is a figure of
speech that they light their cigars
with ten-dollar bills, in reality 1t
comes to be almost true. The aver
age citizen in the past has thrown
into his furnace with little or no idea
of the cost, of the wastefulness and
of his carelessness as to whether he
was burning his coal or choking his
furnace. He has paid no attention
to his furnace; it has never entered
his thoughts that the combustion of
coal is a chemical process requiring
exact conditions and a certain amount
of care; the only sane realization he
has had has been the payment of
his coal bill. In the past even that
hasn't troubled him much for until
comparatively recently coal was a
very cheap product.
Work of Bureau.
Now it is much different With coal
costs mounting, he is beginning to
look into the question with much
earnestness And here is where the
Bureau of Mines may do him much
good; help him to serve his country
by buying liberty bond; and save
enough coal to insure not only ample
supplies for ourselves, but also to
our suffering allies.
"In the bureaus search for the
truth as to just what can be done
by a household furnace in heating a
house and supplying it with plenty
of warmth. a professor at Yale Uni
versity was asked by the bureau to
keep exact costs of heating his ten
room house in New Haven. Conn,
and to endeavor to show the best
possible results. He used nine and
two-fifths tons of coal at a cost of
Si.25 a ton.
That mans cost OF heating was
from $50 to 500 less than what was
expended by a large number of house.
holders living in the same LOCALITY
and having the same heating re-
uuirements.
The problem now is that II the
Yale professor by a careful, intelh-
gent firing of his furnace can save
from $50 to 800 year over his neigh
bors when the cost of coal was low
how much can he and other citizens
who care to try. save with coal cost
ing in many instances twice as much
and more? 1 am going to leave that
to the average citizen to actually
work out himself. All 1 can say is
that the Yale professors record was
true one and that it can be dupli-
Gated by anyone who wishes to give
his furnace the same intelligent con-
sideration."

have seen dozens of nervous run
down people who were ailing all the
while, double their strength and en-
durance and entirely get rid of ali
symptoms of dyspepsia, liver and
other troubles in from ten to fourteen
days time simply by taking iron in
the proper form. And this after they
had in some cases been doctoring for
months without obtaining any benefit.
But don't take the old forms of re-
duced iron, iron acetate or tincture
of iron simply to save a few cents.
You must take iron in a form that
can be easily absorbed and assimilat-
ed like Nuxated Iron if you want it
to do you any good, otherwise it may
prove worse than useless. Many ar

of iron.-E. Sauer. NJ. D.
NOTE-Nuxated Iron, recommended
above by DIR. E. Sauer, is not a patent
medicine nor secret remedy, but one
which is well known to druggists and
whose iron constituents are widely
prescribed by eminent physicians
everywhere. Unlike the older inor-
ganic iron products it is easily ASST
inflated, does not injure the teeth,
make them black, nor upset the stom-
ach; on the contrary. it is a most
potent remedy in nearly all forms of
indigestion as well as for nervous,
rundown conditions. The manufac-
turers have such great confidence in
NuXated Iron, that they offer to forfeit
$4,000 to any charitable institution If
they cannot take any man or woman
under 60 who lacks iron, and in
crease their strength 100 per cent or
over in four weeks time, provided
they have no serious organic trouble.

LOCAL WORKERS
Will NOT QUIT
Navy Yard Machinists to
Stay on Job, Says
President.

President William II. Johnston of
the International Association Of Ma
chinists, declared yesterday afternoon
. that the threatened strike OF ship
yard workers in New York was not
likely to extend to the employees at
the Navy Yard here.
No vote to strike has been taken
BY the Federal workers in the Brook
I'm Navy Yard so far, and. according
10 Mr.. Johnston, il is altogether like
ly that the differences between the
employers in the private shipyards and
their employees will be adjusted with
out the strike which has been voted
actually taking place. He added that
the association is trying to set UP
machinery for the adjustment of all
differences so as not TO hold up i'm
pOrtant Government work.
Machinists in the employ Of the
Government at the Washington Navy
Yard have made formal protest
against the wage scale now in effect.
Is It is substantially lower than that
in effect at private shipyards for sim
liar work.
Federal Scale Lower.
President Johnston declared that il
was quite true that the Government
was from 30 to - cents below that
paid for similar work on the outside,
but that a commission has been APP
pointed to readjust the scale anG
would probably render its decision
in a few days.
Despite the fact that the work done
by machinists at the local Navy
Yard is more eXactinE and requires
a higher degree Of skill than in pri-
vate establishments, the highest rate
paid a maChinist in the Navy Yard
is $3.50 a day. while the prevailing
rate is $455 a day, or % cents below
the rate a man Of similar skill can
get at private shIpyards.
Machinists at the Bureau of En-
craving and Printing, Mr.. Johnston
states. are also getting much less
than men in private employ. Steps
are being taken to have the scale
paid such employees adjusted along
with that paid at the Navy Yard.

to raise 100000. Do your part
toward raising this fund knowing
that you cannot contribute to a
more worthy cause, Remember
that we are not only called upon
