Citizens ARE URGED
TO SAVE THEIR FUEL
Only Way to Avert a Local and
National Coal Famine,
Says Mr.. Weaver.

save your fuel and help avert a
local and national coal famine
This was the plea addressed today
by John l. Weaver, federal fuel ad-
ministrator for the District. to the citi-
zens of Washington.
Unless great economy is exercised in
conserving coal supplies this winter
the National Capital is destined to suf-
fer from a lack of fuel. regardless of
the efforts of fuel officials to keep the
city supplied.
This was made plain by Administra.
tor Weaver. who pointed to the Iuei
crisis facing the nation today as con-
dition that may confront Washington
many times this winter unless c1tlzens'
public utility plants, government de-
partments and others who use coal
unite in conserving it,
for fuel this winter is a problem that
may prove too much for coal operators
in this country, considering the I'M
usual demands that will be made upon
ers and other manufacturers whose
products are intimately associated with
the winning of the war.
Two Ways to Conserve Supply.
Washington may help conserve the
coal supply. according to Mr.. Weaver
in two ways: By keeping rooms at
lower level of temperature. IS degrees
being the warmth prescribed by
physicians as the most healthful. BY
burning waste matter that can be
used as fuel. thus effecting great
coal and coke saving.
The administrator today declared
that many government departments are
burning more coal than is absolutely
needed to keep workers comfortable.
and that rooms are made unhealthy by
n temperature of above so degrees. At
a conference between leading District
physicians and Administrator Weaver
on the subject this week the admins
traitor was advised to issue the appeal
not only in behalf of fuel conserva-
ton, but also for the benefit of the
health of inside workers.
Mr. Weaver was favorably attracted
by the letter of a New York conserva-
zionist who declared he is saving
thousands of pounds of fuel weekly by
enlisting the aid of children in gather
ing wood. waste matter thrown away
and old papers. This plan. according
to Mr.. Weaver, might be tried out here
with excellent results.
Up to Country's Normal Supply.
That coal supplies will reach Wash
fngton in plentiful amount to satisfy all
normal. needs as long as there is
normal coal supply in the country was
the belief today of local fuel officiaIs
They were inclined to think, however,
that because of the recent shortages
here this. city would be hard hit in
event of a nationwide fuel famine.
Administrator Weaver conferred with
ofnc1ais of the national fuel admins
tration this morning in regard to the
national situation. and was advised of
the crisis that confronts the country
Every possible effort will be made, it
was said, to keep Washington warm as
long as the coal supply lasts.

MONEY FROM EARTH WORMS
Old Man Makes Living Gathering
Night crawIers and Other Crea-
lures Used for Fish Bait.

The other morning early, during a
mild shower, we stepped from our front
door and looked down the gloomy
street, and there saw an old man carry
ing an umbrella and leisurely walk
ing toward US, stopping every moment
or two to pick up something from the
street, and put it into large bucket
that he carried on his arm, says the
Ohio State Journal.
We watched until he approached in
front of our domicile, when our Curl
osity could stand it no longer, and so
we went out and asked what he was
gathering, when he held the bucket to
our gaze, and in it was gallon of fish
worms that he had gathered from the
asphalt street. While we were talk
ing he picked up three might crawlers"
at the edge of the gutter stream. His
eyes were trained to observe those
angle worms, for just then he saw one
across the street, and fastened to put
it in his bucket. We suggested that
he had neglected the gutter in front OF
our house, but he looked back and
at q glance said there were no crawl
erS there.
He said his business was fish bait;
that crawfsh was what he gathered
mostly, but that night crawlers were
always more or less in demand, espe-
cially for the less pretentious sport OF
fishing for blue gills. In the dim fu-
ture, when we are in the trenches
shooting the Huns, we will remember
this old man gathering night crawlers,
and wish we were he.

Strategy.

He told them he had been an officer
in the National Guard in his home
state, and the instructors at the Re-
serve Officers training corps camp at
Fort Benjamin Harrison intended to
make him prove it, says the Indianapo-
lis News. When it came his turn to
command a company, he marched the
men back and forth for several min
utes under the critical eye of an in
structor. Several times he tied the
company up in knots, but the instruct
or volunteered no suggestions as to
how he should get them out. The
climax came when the temporary COM
mander marched the force bang into
a fence. where perfOrce it had to
halt. The embarrassment Of the stu
dent officer by this time had become
very apparent. He glanced out Of the
corner of his eye at the instructor, but
said instructor was watching an un-
usual cloud formation. There was
only one thing to do-continue to use
his nerve.

LONG THOUGHTS OF YOUTH
Patriotism of the Day Not Measured
by Brass Band or Throwing OF
: Banner to the Breeze.

There is depth to the "tide of
thought at the present day which
is, as Tennyson expresses it, "a tide
too full for sound OF foam" And
as Longfellow wrote, "the thoughts
of youth are long, long thoughts. :"
The patriotism of this day is not
measured by the brass band OF bun
combe, or simply throwing the BAN
ner to the breeze, says a writer in
Association Men. If there be music
it is the deep, full-throated music Of
the soul, and if the banner is being
flung to the breeze it is being flung
in the spirit of sacrifice.
Here is a typical American boy of
seventeen, nearing high school COM
mencement and at the commence
r1ent of life. Confronted with the
present crisis, this boy has thought
his way through. 1t was but few
weeks ago he said to his mother: II
have not yet reached conclusion,
but I am thinking" A fortnight
later, with frmness that represent
ed the spirit of the day in thousands
of boys lives and uncounted multi
tudes of boys souls, he said: "Moth-
er, I have made up my mind; | do
not believe that God wants me to
throw my life away. I think he wants
me to care for you (his mother was a
widow, but if the time comes when
it is necessary for me to go to the
war am ready. And if I am shot,
that is the sacrifice I am willing to
make" Whatever hesitation the
mother had when her son told her
this, the only thing she could do and
did do was to take him to her heart,
with all the pride of an American
mother.

SEVERE RHEUMATIC
PAINS DISAPPEAR

Rheumatism depends on an acid
which flows in the blood, affecting the
muscles and joints, producing inham-
nation, stiffness and pain. This acid
gets into the blood through some de-
feet in the digestive processes, and
remains there because the liver, kid
neys and skin are too torpid to carry
it off.
Hoods Sarsaparilla, the old-time
blood tonic, is very successful in the
treatment of rheumatism. 1t acts
directly, with purifying effect, ON the
blood, and through the blood on the
liver, kidneys AMI skin, which it
stimulates, and at the same time it
improves the digestion.
