Duty of Every American.
at is the duty OF every American 70
save coal this winter II every family
will save a ton OF coal If every indus
trial plan, will save 10 percent OF the
coal it uses, which 10 percent II now
wastes, the coal problem Will be largely
solved There is plenty Of coal IN the
ground but there is shortage OF cars
and OF labor AT the mines.
"lf every family will reduce the tenn
pcraturc OF its house at least ) degree
millions Of tons OF coal will be saved
and the health OF the nation will be
improved
Methods of Saving.
"Thc coal supply can be conserved
by more economical methods OF firing
by sitting ashes. by watching the fur
mace door and by heating only the part
OF the house in use. II the householder
Of the country save one ton out oj
twelve they will save 100000 tous OF
coal
"The opportunity here for busincS.
mems organizations to cooperate with
the state and local fuel administrator
is obvious 1t is the patriotic duty o'
every manufacturer to consider the
problem of scientific firing and to SC,
that his flrcmcn are properly IN

The high school bill, after strenu.
GUS fight in the house, il passing on a
