 And this leads to the suggestion that. if ever there were used for the introduction of the proposed daylight | saving act throughout the country. it is now. Begin work an hour earlier and quit an hour earlier That i'm mediately would take an hours bur den from the street railways, the electric light companies and the cleo tric power companies. The owl car would be an hour earlier. People would be sleeping instead of using lights generated by coal. In com pact little England, with daylight saving. they have saved 300,000 tons of coal in a years time.
 'In time of war the coal wasted in this manner is luxury coal and that leads to the thought that Ameri- cans are the greatest advertisers in the world with their brilliantly light ed downtown sections of great cit ies; the mammoth electric advertis- ing signs blazing for miles, and their elaborate White Cities their Coney is all very well to be up and doing and pushing your product is a big way in peace times, reflecting much enterprise upon American methods of doing business. But in war time doesn't all this tremendous expendi- 1 Af ha use of luxury coal whigh ought to be stopped from a pure spirit of patritism.?
 For the time being, let's save this
 luxury coal that goes into amuse-
 ments ard extravances and frivoli-
 ties. Some American merchants may call this sacrifice, but to my mind it isn't sacrifice at all when we think of the Washington widow whose brave son. member of United States navy crew, gave up his life when his vessel was tOrpedoed by the Ger mans, the first navy victim of the war. Anyhow, we all have to make sacrifices in times like these. and as soon as the country fully realizes this spirit, that moment we go for ward to decisive and prompt victory.
 "The largest anthracite operator in the United States expressed him self as entirely puzzled at the pres ent situation of soaring prices in an tracite coal. He knows that the production is as great as it has ever been and can only explain the pres ent situation by saying that it is probably due to the national ex- travagance of the American house. holder. Coal, he says is being stored by over-anxious and selfish people, disturbing the natural movement of this necessary commodity and unduly increasing the prices. Not only does it do this, but it is taking the nee essary supply away from the indus tries that need the coal in the manu- facture of material essential to the successful prosecution of the war. In this, too, we must be patriotic and unselfish. with the reward that pric- es will reach a lower level and we will have enough coal for the proper conduct of the war.

Products of the Mills Are Tied Up Owing to Inability To
 Transport.
OPERATIONS SUSPENDED
Additional Contracts Are Being Placed by the Large Railroad
 Companies.

NEW YORK, May 2S.-The most
 serious aspect of the steel situation at the moment is the heavy conges-
 tion of finished products at the mills,
 due to the inability of railroads to
 move the stocks accumulated. Heavy tonnages of rails, plates, angles, sheet
 bars and other rolled finished pro-
 ducts are reported at various subsi diary plants of the United States Steel corporation and of the inde-
 pendent mills in the Pittsburg dis trict. Because of this congestion one plate mill has been obliged to sus- pend operations; in fact the steel companies generally are embarrassed to increase their output. because of storage yards.
 Several domestic roads in the cen. | tral west have placed additional con- | tracts for 60000 tons of standard sec tions with the Illinois Steel Go. and the Carnegie Steel Co.,, for shipment I in 1919
 The New York Central Railroad 1 has come into the market for 300 To- comotives. The Baldwin Locomotive | Works has put out an inquiry for | 100000 tons of steel required in the
 construction of 1000 locomotives for
 Russia, but latter inquiry is not ta-
 ken seriously, as it is expected three
 to six months will elapse before any
 suits in orders.

ITO the manufacturer l would say that it is the time to pay little more attention to your boiler room and see what your firemen are doing with the coal. Time was in this country that coal was so cheap and entered so little into the cost of manufacture that few cared how the coal was burned. Since that time we have made tremendous progress in the science of combustion. until today, black smoke pouring out of a factory chimney is not badge of prosperity but a badge of inefficien- cy and of waste. To get power out of coal you have to burn it, and let ting it go up the stack in smoke is not burning it. Any mechanical en- gineer today can show how

DUAL MONARCHY IS ANXIOUS FOR
 PEACE TO COME

Berne, Switzerland. April IT, Peace and spring weather are what the Austrian and Hungarian people most desire. During long stay in Vienna, whence the Associated Press correspondent has just come, there was observed every indication that the government and the people are willing to accept any peace proposal leaving Austro- Hungarian territory intact and making no claims for war indemnity. By the same token, there appears to be no doubt that the monarchy will continue fighting un- less these conditions are met.
 While the public is extremely weary of the war it's mind is made up to persist in the struggle to the end rather than accept humiliating terms.
 The demands made on Austria Hungary's economic resources and human reservoir by the war are be- ginning to reach the limit of endur- ance and the severe winter, whose af- ter effects are still felt, tended to in- crease the great burden borne by the population. The sowing of crops is about three weeks behind, which causes considerable anxiety notwith- standing the fact that the winter crops are reported as in good condi- ton.

Poisons In the stemash.

A most curious fact Is that all food contains the clements of poison, and, in our body poisons are manufactured from these. For instance, meat, fish, cheese and milk are composed of hy- drogen, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen. Take away the last and you have prus- aic acid. We do not manufacture prussic acid, it is true. But in every
 stomach in the world fermentation
 goes on just as in brewery, and the poisonous carbonic acid is made in large quantities. If you breathed a few days output of carbonic acid gas you would inevitably die. Sulphuret- ed hydrogen is one of the most deadly gases known, yet in every stomach it is made at one time or another. Tn. the stomach all food is converted into what we call ''peptone," and if a very, small quantity of this found its way into the blood it would kill as surely as prussic acid.-Pearson's Weekly. 2

The satisfaction es ssvin,au..

Among all material pleasuxes there Is none so great as that which springs from store laid by for future wants. especially for the needs. of those for whose well being you have become re. sponsible. And when you have gath cred that store by steadfastly refusing thriftless self indulgence you have a satisfaction that outweighs and out lasts all feet1ng joys. I speak from my own experience, and can cal to witness the thousands Of others who have travelled the same road.
 Strictly speaking, all mere luxury is waste. But there may be and often is wanton wastefulness in luxury when a reasonable indulgence in 1t might bs justifable That is certain to react most harmfully on soul, mind and body. It is not the accumulation, but the waste and misuse of wealth, that, makes men decay.-Judson Harmon in Youths Companion.
