The fuel situation in this country
ut present emphasizes anew the
statement often made that a great
saving in coal can be effected by
careful and scientific firing
The state council Of defense has
just received from Professor q. l..

various methods of hand firing with
special references to ma nufacturing

that some good results may be won.
Among the recommendations are
the following for the Use of bitumi-
nous coal in house heating furnaces:
The Chimney should be absolute

aous fire clay fiue lining FROM top to

to be preferred, and there should be
no offsets.
The smoke pipe should grade up

straight and short.
"A shut-off or cross dam per IL re-
qufred In the smoke pipe to control
the intensity OF the chimney draft.
and there should also be a check

yond the cross damper. Use the
check damper for the ordinary daily
regulation OF the fire.
"Ail basement piping. heating sur

uuentIy i'm rather small charges by

were able to deliver q normal
amount of sugar every day.
The supply Of raw sugar in the
early summer gave evidence OF
being enough for all needs.
But the rate Of consumption had
increased. An extra $50. 200. 600
pounds were required to meet the
needs Of the people from June ap
to November.
"You can't eat your cake and
have IL too"
A part of this increased demand
for sugar was due to the nation
wide save the fruit crop move
ment. The sugar thus used is not
gone. 1t is saved. II is simply IN
the fruit and jam jar instead OF
the sugar bowl
Sugar has sold in the United
States throughout the war at an
average price lower than IN any
other country. 1t is one Of the
cheapest foods the nation has.
Admittedly one Of the reasons
for this brilliant showing. in view
of changed world conditions. has
been the fact that the domestic
cane refining industry is in large
units.
tits a noteworthy tribute 10 the
domestic refining industry which
will be better appreciated the
more the events Of the last two
years are studied.
Domino Package Sugars have
been Of great value in the wider
and more even distribution Of
sugar.
A barrel holds $50 pounds Of
loose sugar. all Of which usually
goes to one grocer. It has been
possible to ship practically the
same amount Of package sugar in
three l20-pound cases to three
different grocers.
The grocer has been able to
handle these Domino Cane Sugars
already packaSed in cartons and
small cotton bags. thus tending to
check boarding.
II will be necessary for srocers
and consumers to watch carefully
their distribution and purchases
during the approaching period Of
readjustInent.
Housewives can cooperate with
this plan by buying Domino Pack
age Sugars.
The refineries are now starting
up and supplies Of raw sugar COM

production is unavailable to Il
The main sources Of available
sugar for the United States and
the Allies IRE narrowed down to
theWest Indies principally CubaI
Hawaii. the Philippines. Louisi-
aua, and the susar-beet fields OF
the Middle West.
Cuba has now increased les pro-
duction Of sugar cane, but Eng
land, France and other foreign
countries perforce have increased
their importations of sugar from
Cssba.
There is an abundance of sugar
in PARKWAY Java. Ii is as useless
to the world as unmined gold. be-
cause no nation can spare the
ships to carry it.
This country and Europe could
only procure sugar from Java by
using ships badly needed to carry
American troops and supplies TO
France.
II takes $50 days for a cargo
ship travelling at the rate of 200
miles a day to SO from ENGLAND
to lava and return. counting in
the loading and dischargins at
both ends. The same ship travel
ing between New York and France
takes so days for o round trip.
Therefore the same ship can
make three round trips between
New York and France while it is
making one round trip between
England and java.
The competition among nations
for Cuban raw sugar has forced
up It's price, with necessary cor
responding increase in the cost Of
refined sugar. This competition
has now been overcome by the
combined efforts Of the United
States Food Administration. the
Allied Governments, and all ele-
ments Of the sugar industry.

a young man of whom / thought a
great deal. We were together con-
tinually for about five months, and
during hat time had some very Jolly
times. He is at one of the camps
now and l heard from him regularly
until about three months ago and L
can't imagine why l do not hear from
him any more. have written to him
numerous times, but / never receive

deal of me. for l would receive d let
ter from him every week and even
sent me gifts several times. What
would you advise me to do in the way
of finding out where he is or what
has become of him. DIMPLES.
Write to his local board for infor-
nation. They can tell you where he
is stationed Probably the boy is

now. / know his wife very we'll and
like her. This boy and his wife love
each other in the queerest way. They
do not seem to be jealous of each
other. She left town for few
weeks and before she left she told
while she was away. He phoned me
and told me about it and asked to
come over. / made an excuse so that
he couldn't. 1 liked the man and
would have enjoyed seeing Inn gain.
Did I do the right thing in not let

You did the wise thing in not let
ting him come. The wife may be
more jealous than she pretends to be.
This way you did not run the risk of
losing her friendship.

NO TIME 10 LOAF.

A time has arrived when no idling
or loafing should be permitted. Some
states already have taken legislative
action on this matter and bill de-
signed to make everybody work is
pending in New York.
In many places sheriffs and town
marshals are rigidly enforcing local
laws against vagrancy and loafing. In
most towns it is against the law to
| loaf on the streets A rigid enforce
ment of such laws will compel able
bodied men to find work of some sort,
and whether they go to the farms or
find other employment, the effect will
be to release labor and increase the
man-power of the country. In view
of the demand for labor it is proper
for communities, by law or by public
sentiment, to insist that every man,
whatever his wages or his wealth or
his condition. shall put in full time.
1t Is not possible for US to wage a
war of such proportions. as that in
which We are now engaged and at the
same time maintain peace practices
and indulgences. We must all sacri-
flee; we must all do things in other
ways than the ways to which we are
accustomed. II we can not get the
best we must take the next best. War
industries can not be suspended: shin
building must go on; munition plants
must be operated: soldiers must go to
France. With all these activities
drawing upon our man-power in in
creasing volume it will become more
and more necessary, from week to
week and from month to month as
long as the war lasts, for each of us
not so engaged to readjust and reor-
ganize as the circumstances require.
More effective than any law that
can be enacted is the force of public
opinion. The best agency for the solu-
ton of these problems is the agency of
community action. If the people of a
community resolve that a thing shall
be done they will find the means OF
doing It. There is no power in the
government to create labor, nor have
we yet reached the point of national
peril where it is necessary to conscript
labor or to require farmers by law to
grow certain crops. The true test of a
democracy is it's ability to meet a local
emergency without the compulsion OF
a national law. At any rate, it is i'm
possible this year to organize a system
of federal administration of agricul-
tural labor, but it is easily possible
for each state, each community, and
each neighborhood to solve it's own
problem.
/ Notwithstanding labor difficulties
last year, production was greatly in
creased: the situation this year is but
little If any, more difficult, but the
more difficult it becomes the more
necessity there is for united COM
munity action.
