lsible of No. l buckwheat or "a blum

ing his furnace at night and should
resort to all practical methods pos.
sible for saving coal.
5. The starting of furnace fires in
residences should be delayed as late

cred at once for banking houses and
for putting on storm doors, double

g. No coal should be delivered TO
any person who can use wood and
who can obtain a supply.
Z. In order to supplement his allot-
ment, each coal using citizen should
