SOME DETAILS
OF THE FUEL ORDERS.
Washington. Jan. 1.-THE coal or
der would prohibit use Of coal in
stores and mercantile establishments
in these terms:
"Whoiesales or retail stDre.ss Or aiy
other stores business houses or build
ings whatever, except that for the
purpose Of selling food only. for which
purposes stores may maintain neces-
sary heat until 12 O'Clock noon. and
for the purpose of selling drugs and
medical supplies only. stores may
maintain necessary heat throughout
the day and evening"
This would appear to apply to de-
partment stores as we'll as all others.
The fuel order does not apply to oil
wells, gas wells or oil refineries.
Senator Reed said he would ask the
senate to postpone action on the
Hitchcock resolution until his COM
mittee heard DR.. Garfield.
Senator Vardaman. another mem
ber of the committee, asked Senator
Reed to do this.
ut is unfair to Garfield" he said.

Came Unexpectedly.
The fuel administrations move
came entirely without warning after
the stringent measure submitted by
Administrator Garfield had been ap-
proved by President Wilson. 1t was
decided upon hurriedly by the presi-
dent and executive heads as neces-
sary remedy for the food ana 1uel
Exceptions made of plants requir-
ing continuous heat to maintain their
efficiency led to the belief today that
steel mills and blast furnaces might
be permitted to use fuel during the
five days period.
The Lever bill under authority of
which the order is issued provides a
fine of $4,000 or Imprisonment for
violation.

week ago by the house by a vote OF
1-ij to 81.
BY this action Massachusetts be-
comes the first Of the northeastern
state to ratify the amendment and
the eleventh in the entire country,
tie others that have taken similar
action being Mississippi, Virginia,
X. ntucky, South Carolina, North Da-
kC.a Maryland, Montana, Texas, Della
ware and South Dakota. To carry the
amendment, % other states must vote
In its favor.
Before adopting the measure the
surate, by vote Of 25 to II, rejected

amendment providing that the question
be referred to all those qualified to
voc for school committees, including

Ihe Prohibition forces were elated
over the victory. Church bells were

COMFORTABLE FOWL is BEST
Poultry to Do Well Should Not Be Ex-
posed to Severe Weather in
Fall and Winter.

That farm f1ocks are often too much
exposed to the weather, and that the
farmer would realize more from his
poultry if he did not allow them out
doors during the fall and winter, are,
without doubt, established facts, says
A. C. Smith of the Minnesota expert
ment station. The idea often advanced
that poultry can withstand any amount
or degree of cold weather provided it
is dry, is not borne out by experience.
Poultry should not be exposed to ell
their wind or rain in the autumn.
House the birds comfortably If you
wish eggs. Keep them in the house
after the ground freezes. Let them
out only during the middle Of the day
as q rule in the fall after the frost
comes. If you cannot take the trouble
to get them In early in the afternoon,
keep them in.

..!l;tion law, so written that intoxicat-
IN, liquors may not be manufactured
s. -, given away or shipped into the
state except for medical and sacra-
m>lt tai purposes, took effect at that
huIr.
Members of the indiana Anti-Saloon
League estimated that 3,400 saloons
il the state closed their doors. They
estimated that 80 breweries In the
safe were affected and possibly II to
l. Gistilleries. The amount of money
tl.at the league members say has been
spent annually for intoxicating liquor
il. Il e state is $25,000,000.
The closing of all places where
l:Guor could be purchased followed
strenuous efforts Of the "wets" to
have the law declared unconstitution-
al. The Indiana supreme court heard
oral arguments in two cases involving
the law, but no decision was rendered.
There was no intimation as to when
the supreme court will decide the

This Judoa Had a Heart,

she was just eighteen years old, and I
signed here" explained Peter P.
Swartz of Colony, Okla, charged by
his father-in-law, E. V. Upchurch, of
perjury in securing license to marry
the pretty daughter of Upchurch. The
Judge took a look at the pretty bride
and her young husband and decided
their defense was enough to dismiss
the case.
