From any druggist for 35c, or $1OO for

When applied as directed it effectively
removes eczema, quickly stops itching, and
heals skin troubles, also sores, burns,

TAG SHOVEL DAY.
It Is Proposed to Label Everyone in Us'
in Barre.

As one of the measures adopted fol
the purpose of awakening the entire
United States to economy in fuel CON
sumption, the fuel administration has
set aside Jan. 80 as tag day, ON which
occasion every shovel in the country
used to replenish furnaces and other Goa
fires will be tagged with message fr IN
the government, urging economy in the
use of fuel. Here in Barre the local fuel
committee has enlisted the cooperation
of the school children. who are being
mustered by Supt. c. ii. White and the
teachers. The tags will be distributed
next week and on Jan. 80 every home
will be visited and an effort will be
made to tag every shovel.
The drastic conservation measure en-
forced recently has impressed everyone
with the solemnity of the situation, n ~
the fuel committee believes that the
school children will be permitted to use
their tags freely, once the distribution
is gotten under way. 1t has reached a
point where fuel is only second in i'm
portance and gravity TO keeping our
country supplied with food, and in ia t
the shortage is even more intense than
that in the various lines of edibles. The
fuel administration. which includes al.
of the local fuel committees throughout
the nation, is squarely back of the school
children in their campaign, and the liter
ature to be circulated is expected to 20
a long way toward convincing people
that economy in the use of fuel is
prime necessity.

DANCE HALLS

TWO IN LARGER CITIES,
SAYS FUEL ADM'TOR
Local Fuel Committees Are
Warned to Take Ac-
tive Steps

II. j. NJ. Jones, state fuel administrat
or, has sent the following letter to the
members of the local fuel committee;
Everything at the present time lndi-
Gates that practically all bituminous coal
is being diverted to industries working
on government orders. The non essential
| industries should not be considered until
the railroads are able to transport and
deliver sufficient coal to meet the needs
of those that are essential. This prac-
ltically means a ban on non essentials,
and the only way that Vermont can re-
leve such Industries is to save coal.
The saving of coal effects two results:
First, the actual saving of coal; second
relief TO the railroads by decrease in
shipment of manufactured products and
of coal through saving.
"The trouble at the present time is
largely one of transportation. The mines,
no doubt, can produce all the coal neces-
sary for domestic purposes, but as the
railway facilities are not adequate for
handling the great excess of freight
created by the present high pressure in
manufacture, conservation of railway
traffic for the purpose OF sending mate
rial and munitions aeross is a stubborn
necessity.
Every town and city in Vermont
must now curtsil all public amusements
of every kind The local fuel commit
tees should take steps Immediately to
stop dances and all unnecessary gather
ings in halls requiring fuel for heat The
moving picture houses furnish the larg
est percentage of our people with amuse
ment, but | urge all of them to curtail
in some way. | think only one picture
house should remain open in our villages
and smaller cities and not more than two
in our larger cities, and all of them
should burn wood instead of coal. I !
don't believe that the citizens of Yer |
mont want to sacrifice essential indus |
tries for the sake of amusements OF any |
nature.
"The time for talking has ceased and |
we must have action right now, not only |
in Vermont but all over our country, |
else our essentials win surely suffer.
"The suggestions are a warning to |
the people of Vermont to wake up and |
each locality should at once put into ef
feet such rules and regulations as win |
produce the greatest saving OF coal.
THE closing down of industries and
business on Mondays means not only the
actual saving of coal, but it also assists
he railroads, because the saving in pro-
luction reduces the amount Of freight to
De handled. The latter, in my Judgment,
Is equally as important as the mere saw
ng of coal.
Il strongly urge at this time that tie
ocal fuel committees make a direct ap-
)eal to the people in their jurisdiction
or their assistance to conserve in their
'arious industries.
please bear in mind that all indus
ries working on government orders must
,eep going and troops and supplies must
,e transported and it is for us to sac
ifice everything else to win our fight
or democracy"
