Applying the Fuel Order.

1t has been inevitable that there has
been great amount of Misunderstanding
and confusion in the Interpretation and
application of Tire fuel order issued by
DIR. Garfield. II was sprung on the state
administrators with as much suddenness
as it was on the general public, for
Washington had taken no one into its
confidence. Not even the real underlying
purpose of the order whether il was a
coal saving device purely, or an expedient
to save Mr.. McAdoo as head of the rail
roads. or a combination OF both--was in.
dicated, so far as known, TO the state
officials so that they were unable to
make any decisions based on the logic of
Washington's intentions.
No one can make any claim TO being

satisfied with the way the thing hai
worked out. As a coal saving device, th'
application OF IL TO Vermont does moi
seem TO have been well considered. a
large percentage of our manufacturing
plants are operated by hydroe electric
power, coal being used in relatively small
quantities for heating purposes. Many
plants use practically no coal whatso
ever. As for closing the stores, the con
dition obtains in most communities IN
Vermont that the floors above those on
the ground occupied by the stores are
tenanted as living rooms, the heating
passing through the stores at any event

else, did not succeed in making himself
well understood His order was open TO
many conflicting readings, and interpre-
tations coming from Washington seemed
10 add TO, instead of To diminish, the
confusion. All of which shows that IL is
impossible on the spur of the moment to
put into effect such sweeping thing as
the suspension of the business Of the
eastern half of the country without re
suits that are far from being satisfac-
tory. Probably, however, were ii TO be

THE POOR AND FEEBLE.MINDED.

That there is opportunity for the work
such as is being conducted by the Yer
mont state board of charities and correc-
tion is revealed in the descriptions pre-.
scented by Secretary Jeffrey of that board
in making his annual report. Passing
over the descriptions which had to do
with lax morality in town poorhouses,
VIC pick out an average case in order to
show that conditions ought TO be bet
tered. This average case is as follows:

Not only should you keep your Liberty
bonds because they are the best invest
ment in the world but because il you
keep them you will prevent the flooding
OF the market and the driving down of
the selling value of the bonds. Ii is,
therefore, patriotic duty to keep the
bonds unless there comes an absolute ne.
cessity to dispose of them; and if it
be sold it is far better to dispose of them
through a reputable bond house than
through questionable Intermediates.

allies in Europe to realize that the less

A NEW MESSENGER OF HEALTH

| AZ
AT a time when the cost of newspaper
making is constantly rising and when
| in consequence, newspapers are dying
with increased frequency, it might be
considered rash act perhaps to start a
new publication, unless it be that the
proposed publication was designed TO fill
need felt in the community or state.
1t is such a situation that faces the pub
fishers of modest little paper, The Mod
ern Health Crusader of Vermont, the
first number of which has just come to
hand from the publication Office in Bur
lington. The paper is printed under the
auspices of the Vermont Association for
the Prevention of Tuberculosis, and its
editor is H. W. Slocum, the secretary of
that association. As might be inferred
from the titfe, The Modern Health Cru
sader is to be devoted exclusively to the
propaganda of health making in Yer

of Vermont 1t is the official mouthpiece
of "The Modern Health Crusader" an
organization which is being formed
throughout the schools of the state with
purpose to spread the message of how
to maintain individual and public health
As such the little paper is likely to fill
that need which is referred to above. the
filling of which satisfactorily would in
sure the permanency of the expert
ment.n for such the editor of the paper
calls it in the initial number. The ar
ticles are to be designed to appeal espe
cially to the young people of the state
but doubtless there will be great deal
Of value to adults. Editor Slocum is in
position to make health-crusade news

we wish him success in the venture which /
is backed by Iaudable ambition to inn

The Carlisle public schools have been closed fer the second tune this season on account of the influenza epidemic. The hrst time they were closed for five weeks, but it is thought they will not have to remain under the ban so long this time as the disease is not so severe as 1t was before. It is to be hoped that it will not be for long as so much time is being lost that cannot ever be made up. Everything was moving along nicely and the pupils were being pushed in many instances in order to make up for the time lost at the first closing

United States Senator Bankhead, president United States Good Roads association, also chairman of the Committee on Postofhces and Post Roads. introduced in the senate Monday, Dec ,, a comprehensive bill carrying a Sl00. 100000 appropriation for the building of national highways and good roads throughout the nation. ThiS bill carries with it authority for the designation of certain high ways throughout the country. The bill has the en- dorsement of the administratio ard government officials. It is believed that it will be speedily enacted into law before next March. when an extra session of will be called by President Will son.
 The United States Good Roads association heartily endorses Senator Bankhead's $ bill, and Secretary Rountree has sent tel egrams and resolutions to vari ous senators and congressman stating that this association. which has membership in over thirty five states in the union, strongly urges the passage of the same.
 1t Is expected that the South ern Commercial Congress, which will convene at Baltimore Dec s to T. will endorse the bill, and the Highway Industries associa tion, meeting Dec.

To Consider Railroads

Washington, Dec. 2.-Creation of joint congressional commit tee, Consisting of members of both houses, to inquire into the railroad situation, soon will be sought, it was said today, after President Wilson had advocated this plan in his address before Congress. This com mittee would call railway executives labor lead CTS, financial representatives, officials of the Railroad Admins tration and members of the In terstate Commerce Commission to give their views as to the best policies for future management of the rail lines. The committee then would attempt to formulate a plan for some sort of unified control and common management which most students of railroad matters are said to advocate, re- gardless of whether the govern ment retains or relinquishes it's political control.
 The need for haste was ex- plained today by the president and emphasized later by Rail road Administration officials, who admitted they anticipate difficulty in carrying out plans for acquiring new equipment, distributing it among roads and making extensive improvements contemplated for next year. without stretching the govern ment's war powers beyond the point where railroad companies are willing to co operate.
 Any congressional committee would practically take up the work of the old committee head ed by the late Senator Newlands, winch conducted an inquiry into the condition of railroads before they were taken over by the gov ernment. The Interstate Com merce Commission has gathered considerable information on rail road matters during the months of federal management which would be available.
