HOW TO ECONoMlZE IN

r THE USE OF COAL.
r If the consumer Is not getting

I. fault may be with the sto' e or

I. or the method Of regulation.
4. Here are some Of the don'ts
4. picked from 4 pamphlet issued
I. by the bureau:
I. Don't put In too much coal or
I. too little. Don't crowd It above
1. the top Of the nre brick lining
4. In range, cylinder stove or hot
I. air furnace. Fill the fuel space
r twice a day in winter weather.
I. heaping tho coal slightly In the
+ center.
+ Don't add small quantities Of
+ coal several times n day. with
+ attendant shakings: that means
1. loss In economy and comfort.
r Shake the CRATE only twice a
+ day before fresh coal Is put in.
+ and stop when . bright light
r shows underneath.
+ Don't leave the feed door
+ open: 1t cools the heating sur
+ faces. All checking OF draft
+ should be accomplished by shut
r ting the ash pit door and open.
+ ing the check damper In the
+ stovepipe.
+ Don't neglect the furnace In
4. mild weather. See that the coal
+ is properly consumed and not
+ shaken through the crate to pass
+ out with the ashes. Keep the
1. ash pit empty. Don't let the
I. ashes bank up under the CRATE:
+ It not only shuts out air needed
4. for combustion. but tends to
+ warp the crate bars. Remove
+ the ashes regularly once day.
1. even II only small amount has
1. fallen.
+ Don't use the wrong size Of
I. coal. Ordinary domestic ranges
1. require chestnut" larger sizes
1. can use "stove" coal. but "chest-
+ nut" will give satisfaction. Fair.
I. ~ large steam and hot water boil

vital importance to each individual, aside

in the winning of the war. Realizing these.
facts, everyone is deeply interested III the
work of the food commission and is seek
ing all available information on the matter.
The people want better health. they want
to save, and they above all want to help
win the war, which accounts for their i'll
tense interest
This afternoon Pensacola will have an
unusual opportunity to learn about food
conservation and of its application to the
individual and to the government.
Braxton Beechan. state food admins
traitor. and Leroy Hodges, campaign di
rector, will address mass meeting at the
First Methodist church. They will bring
a stirring message which none should miss
They will explain in detail Mr.. Hoover's
conservation program and the campaign
which will be conducted to enlist the sup
port of the people Of this county informa-
ton which everyone should have There
will also be much Of instructive interest in
Mr., Hodges account OF conditions III the
war zone. We are all curious to know Just
what has happened and what the people
have suffered in France and Belgium. Mr.,
Hodges has Just returned from there and
lie will graphically tell the truc story this
afternoon.
People of Pensacola never had oppor-
tunitY to spend an afternoon more profit
ably than by attending the mass meeting
today and the church should be filled to
capacity to prove Our interest and our will

BUT WHEN THEY ARE OURS,

We skim over the headlines Of the news
papers and don't bother much about the
bloody battles being fought in Europe be-
cause we can't pronounce the names of the
cities anyway, and most of us haven't the
rcmotest idea where they are.
A single murder in the home town makes
a greater impression on our minds than
the killing of a hundred thousand men i'll
the trenches.
The hundred thousand don't disturb us
very much. because We think they're lot
of people way off in Europe.
But if one OF the hundred thousand were
ours it would be different-wouldn't it?
And perhaps it is going to take just this
thing to arouse us from Our lethargy.
The United States is at war with Ger
maryland there are certain very specific
things which every citizen of this country
must do If we are to win.
What these things are is constantly be-
ing told to us in the daily newspa pers thev
are being proclaimed from the pulpit and
IN public halls and the government is try
ing its best to make each of us see our re
sponsibilities
1t we were to lose this war. it would be
terrible thing to have YOU realize that
you had not done YOUR share to win.

Use Lemon Juice

To keep your skin and complexion
naturally soft, white and clear at all
times you simply must use a lotion or
cream every day. But choose the one
that is best and costs the least.
The juice of two fresh lemons
strained into bottle containing three
ounces of orchard white makes a
whole quarter pint Of Che most re-
markable beauty lotion at about the
cost one must pay for a small jar
of the ordinary cold cream. Care
should be taken to strain the lemon
juice through fine cloth SO no lemon
pulp gets in, then this lotion will
keep fresh for months Every woman
knows that lemon juice is used to
bleach and remove freckles, sallow-
ness and tan, and is the ideal skin
softener. smoothener and purifier.
Just try this lotion! Make up a
quarter pint of this sweetly fragrant
cream and massage it into the face
