mushrooms, roots, fruits Of shrubs
and smaller plants, the trees of our
forests afford large variety of edi-
bles which are highly priced by
woods connoisseurs., First in i'm
portance, Of course, are our native
nuts-beech nuts, bptternuts, wal
nuts, chestnuts and chinquapins,
hazel nuts, and several kinds of hick-
ory nuts, including pecans. The ker-
nels of all of these are not only
toothsome but highly nutritious and
are used by vegetarians to replace
meat. The oil Of the beech nut is
said to be little inferior to olive oil,
while that of butternuts and walnuts
was used by some Of the Indians for
various purposes. The Indians, it is
said, also formerly mixed chestnuts
with cornmeal and made a bread
which was baked in corn husks, like
tomales. In parts of Europe bread is
made from chestnuts alone. The
chestnut crop in this country is be-
ing reduced each year by the chest
nut-blight disease which in some sec
tions is gradually killing out the tree.
Acorns are commonly thought to
be fit only for feeding hogs, but
many kinds Of them can be made
edible and nourishing for people as
we'll. The Indian custom was to
pound or grind the acorns up and
leach out the tannin, which makes
most of them unfit for eating when
raw, by treating the pulp with hot
water. The resulting flour, which
contained considerable starch, was
made either into porridgc or baked
in small cakes of bread. AS rule,
the acorns of the various white oaks
having less tannin are the ones best
suited for food, but Indians also used
those of the black oaks, even though
they contain much tannn. The
acorns of the basket or cow oak, the
chinquapin oak, shin or Rocky Noun
tain oak, live oak, and of several
other species, are sweet enough to
be eaten raw.
Another nut which is not suited for
eating raw, but from which palat-
able food is said to have been pre-
pared by the Indians is the buckeye.
The kernels of these nuts were dried,
powdered, and freed of the poison
which they contain when raw by fill
tration. The resulting paste was
either eaten cold or baked.
Several western pines have seeds
which play an important part in the
diet of the local Indians. Perhaps
the best known of these is the fruit
of the nut pine or pinon which forms

BROADWAY DARK
AFTER II O'CLOCK
City's White, Ways and Advertising
Signs Hard Hit by Garfield
Order.

! Washington, Nov. 9.-White light
hours all over the country are from
7:45 p. m. to II p. m. Dr.. H. A.
Garfield, United States fuel admins
traitor, tonight laid down a hard and
fast program intended to insure suf-
ficient comprehensive survey of the
coal situation he has issued in weeks,
he announced two decisive steps:
Immediate and thorough relief
for congestion of the railroads that
is hampering production at the mines,
and
Sharp discontinuance of all coal
supplies for nonessential uses in the
advancement of the war cause. This
takes the JOY out of life for Broad
way and every other white light dis
trict of the country.
In conjunction with the railroad
war board, and the priority commit
tee and all other agencies involved,
the fuel administration will under
take to expedite movement of coal
trains, speed up unloading and hurry
empties back to the mines. Opera
tors have represented that they can
work only about 70 per cent of the
time because of the lack of cars. This
percentage of efficiency is to be i'm
proved.
Coal Saving Step.
The first order directed against
non-essential use of coal was issued
tonight. DR.. Garfield directed that
in future electric signs used for dis
play advertising may be operated
only between the hours Of 7:45 and
II p. m. Broadway will be Broadway
for only three and half hours,
henceforth, but as DR.. Garfield sees
it, Broadway may as we'll be dark if
by being dark it can help prosecute
the war. Electric street signs and
electric signs operated by merchants
that are necessary when their stores
are open, will not be affected. Hun
dreds of thousands Of tons of coal
will, it is expected, be saved by cur
tailment of electric sign advertising
DR.. Garfield expects to get action
against nonessential users of coal
both by this and other direct orders
to classes, and through priority or
ders to the railroads. He issued to-
night rating of all coal users, to
show theorder in which they will re-
ceive their fuel
Industries That Come First.
Shipbuilding plants and aeroplane
factories come first. Special arrange
ments have already been made to
give them enough coal to keep them

cheney. After them follows:
First-The railroads.
Second-The munitions and steel
plants.

Fourth-Thc domestic consumer.
Bearing out this program, instruc-
tions were sent to the various state
fuel administrators today covering
the handling of complaints and show
ing the order in which various con-
sumcrs are to be supplied Federal
trade commission agents are to work
with the state administrators in in
vcstigating and settling complaints.

the basis for local industry of some
size. Not only is it extensively eaten
by local settlers and Indians, but
Large quantities are shipped to the
cities where the seed is roasted and
sold on the street. The similar seed
of the Parry pine and the large Dig
ger pine seeds are eagerly sought by
the Indians. The latter tree is said
to have gained it's name from it's use
as food by the Digger Indians. The
seeds Of the longleaf pine ale edible
and are improved by roasting. In
deed, it may be said that most nuts
are more digestible when roasted
than if eaten raw.
One of the best known fruits, the
foresters say, is the persimmon,
which is edible only after it is thor
oughly ripe. AS this is usually not
until late in the fall, it is commonly
thought that the fruit must be frost
bitten. If the persimmon is eaten
before it is well ripened, the tannic
acid which the fruit contains has a
strongly astringent effect, which JUS
titles the story of the soldier in the
Civil War who said he had eaten
green persimmons so as to shrink his
stomach up to fit his rations. The
pawpaw, or custard apple, is also best
when thoroughly ripe. The fruit of
some species of haws is eaten or pre-
served in different parts of the coun-
try, while those of several different
kinds Of wild cherries have a food
value and are used for various pur-
poses. Wild plums are abundant in
certain csctions and occur in particu-
lary plentiful quantities along the
streams in the Eastern and Middle
Western States.
Several varieties Of wild crab ap-
pies make delicious jcllies. Some Of
the largest, which attain the size of
small apples, are more or less abund-
ant throughout eastern North Caro-
lima. Elderbcrries arc frequently
used for pies and for sauce Those
found in the West are swcetcr and
have a better flavor than the eastern
varieties.
I The berries of The blackberry, or
sugar berry, as it is called in the
South, are dry buc have an agreeable
taste. Those of the mulberry are
sweet and juicy when ripe. The null
berry is valued in some sections for
feeding hogs and poultry and some
species are occasionally cultivated.
Many people like the fruit of the
shad bush, "sarvicc" berry, or June
berry, as it is variously called. In
parts Of the country this fruit is used
to make jelly.
The French Canadians are said to
use the acid flowers of the redbud, or
Judas tree, in salads, while the buds
and tender pods are picked in vine
gar. Honey locust pods, often local
ly called "honcy sucks" contain a
swcetish, thick, chccselike pulp, which
is often eaten. Those of, the mesquite
furnish the Mcxicans and Indians
with a nutritious food. The Creoles
Of Louisiana, famous for their cook
cry, are reported to use the young
buds of the sassafras as substitute
for okra, in thickening soups.

missions have had long, tedious
and deliberate hearing, with its at

before anything can come of it.
Meantime. the mines and their prod

The supply at the docks will soon
be exhausted. With the close of
navigation on the lakes, this supply
will be cut off. All rail shipments
will then be depended on, and that
is a slender and unreliable source in
the present shortages of cars. Our
informant says that if he orders 10
cars, one car will be shipped, and
the orders for the other nine will be
returned to him. If he orders a car
load, he must wait until he is advised
OF it's shipment Then he may order
another, but must wait his turn for
it's shipment, which may be weeks
Altogether, the situation is bad
he says. Those who have not their
supplies OF coal will be in serious
straits before spring. Small guam
titles will be available from time TO
time, but the stream of coal to fur
nish a territory normally using about
$4,000 tons will be extremely at
tenuated.

young, one giving 10,256.7 pounds of
milk last year and the other 4,696.3

LOCAL fuel OUTLOOK
DEALER SAYS THAT THERE is
SURELY GOING TO BE A
SERIOUS SHORTAGE.

Through telegraphic dispatches as
printed in the metropolitan press the
coal situation in the western country
generally is treated. But it is only
when our own local dealers empha-
size the situation that one fully re-
alizes that there may be something
definite and threatening in the situ-
alton.
Today a large coal dealer of Mad
ison said that there are now probably
not to exceed so tons of anthracite
coal i'm the hands OF the dealers, and
probably every pound of this is con-
tracted for delivery. He emphasized
the statement that those who had not
provided themselves with this fuel
would in all probability have to make
arrangements to go without it or Sc
cure some other form of coal. He
said that before spring hard coal
would be equivalent to gold dollars.
OF soft coal, he says that there is
considerable piled at the head OF the
lakes, but the supply is neither suf-
ficient, nor can cars be got to move
it to the country. The all rail
sources are under the same disabil-
tiles as to car, with the added diff
culties of serious strikes.
These strike situations, too, are
more serious than would appear to
the casual reader. Miners In Illi-
nois and Tennessee have quit, and
the mines have lain practically idle
for some time. On the resumption
CT work they have demanded a larg.
er pay for their tonnage, and In most
instances have forced the operators
to comply with the demands. But

state commerce commission and the
various other commissions, they can
