Economic on Your Coal

Last Saturday the Palladium printed in its
editorial column carefully prepared statement
of the United States coal administrator for In
diana. The purpose of the article was to show
the acuteness of the coal shortage and the neces-
sty of fuel economy
The trouble with most people is that they can
not understand that an appeal OF this kind, at
fecting as it does the national welfare, concerns
them individually. Somehow we always believe
the other fellow is meant, the consequence being
that the movement fails.
This holds true of the appeal which the fuel
administrator is making to the people of Indiana.
His effort will fail if each man does not believe
that he must be one Of the thousands who CO.
operates and helps solve the problem.
Perhaps someone asks, how may cooperate
The fuel administrator answers by saving
coal. You can save coal by shutting off rooms
that are not in use, by restricting your living
area by seeing that your furnace is in good order
and your flues clean, by watching carefully that
your coal has the right combustion so that none
of it goes to waste by inspecting your ashes to
see that no unconsu1ned coal goes into the ash
can.
If you have supply Of cord wood, use stick
of it now and then to keep from using coal. If
you are going to leave the house for many hours,
don't open the drafts of your furnace but close it,
Study your heating problem until you have mas
tered it and discover where you have been vast
ing heat.
Let thousands of HOLSTERS practice coal econ
my for two months and the problem will be
solved.
