NOT IN ARMY TO GET DRUNK

Old John Barleycorn has beer
kicked around considerably in the
last few years. Now he is being
driven out of the Army and out OF
the Navy. Vice-Admiral Sims, COM
mander of the American naval forces
says there never was a time in Amer
ican history when there was so little
drunkenness among American fight
ing forces.
For the last eight months. Vice
Admiral Sims has been visiting the
American flotilla base, various cities
in England and on the French front
and has never seen a drunken Aneri-
can sailor or soldier and no case of
drunkenness in the Navy has been
called to his attention.
In speaking of this splendid condi-
ton, Admiral Sims remarked that
the Americans did not go to Europe
TO get drunk. To them the war is a
serious matter AS far as the sailors
are concerned, he says that subma-
rine hunters realize that they need
all of their wits about them

WOOD FOR FUEL

The coal scarcity over the country
has brought out the necessity of con-
servation and substitution for the
purpose of relieving it. The Oldest
and best known substitute for coal
is wood A few years ago, when wood
was plentiful, il was the favOrite fuel
for houses without furnaces. Now
Uncle Sam is urging, through the
Forest Service, that wood be used as
extensively as possible, even for fur
naces, where the supply is plentiful.
The fuel value of wood is only
about One-half that of coal, but if the
proper kind of wood is used, heat
may be maintained quite as well as
with coal. A resinOus, dry wood is
much better for heating purposes
than an unseasoned, non-resinous
wood. In burning green wood, much
Of the heat is consumed in evapo-
rating the moisture. Where wood is
available, it is a duty to use it in or
der to release coal for use where
wood is not available An additional
argument in favor of the use of wood
is its cleanliness in comparison with
coal.
The main problem is to conserve
coal. We are told that if every house
hold in the United States would save
one shovel of coal a day during the
six winter months, the total saving
in the coal supply would be 25,OO0,00O
tons. With the transportation sys-
TEN taxed to its capacity, and with
the scarcity of labor at the mines, in
dividuals must conserve. Save coal
by using wood

Then the horsemen scattered. They

And into this no mans land into
which our brave men on foot and the
brave Frenchmen penned up in their
iron dragons were moving. fell the
big and little shells of the German
artillery, and over them, booming and
kissing. came the German shrapnel.
So it cotinued for while, but the
men kept on moving into the valley,
climbing the hostile side, the tanks
continuing slowly, until the sun,
more powerful than all this man-made
fury burst through the eastern smoke
and filled the valley with light. The
fierce golden rays took the red color
out of the gun flashes and gave more
gold to the ripened wheat and lifted
the forests out of the blaokness into
blush green and gave color to the
patched fields, showing us their ugly
shell wounds and the splintered trees.
