GARFIELD URGES {
COUNTRY TO BUY
COAL AT ONCE
Should Order Enough Fuel
to Cover Needs for Twelve
Months.

United States Fuel Administrator
Harry A. Garfield has issued the fol-
lowing statement on the coal situa-
ton:
Every householder. every public
utility, and every industrial user of
coal engaged in work essential to the
prosecution of the war, are earnestly
advised and urged to place without
delay their order for coal to cover
their needs for the twelve months be-
ginning April l. During the past
twelve months there has been suffer
ing among consumers. and a curtail-
ment of essential production by indus
tries, through inability to obtain nee
essary fuel after the beginning Of win
ter
A year ago consumers were led to
believe that they might safely with
hold their orders until later in the
year. They labored under the impress
sion that coal could be bought and Sc
cured as well at one time as another
They were told there was plenty of
coal for everybody and that there
would be plenty of coal cars to move
the coal in also.
This advice and it's acceptance by
consumers was one of the contribut-
ing causes to the coal shortage with
its consequent suffering among do
mestic consumers and lessening in
production of commodities needed in
our war activities.
place your orders at once. If do
nestle consumers have not sufficient
storage space for the coal they will
need. they should enlarge their bins.
II public utilities and industries en-
gagged upon government work have
not sufficient storage space they
should at once provide it."

FACTS ABOUT THE AMERICAN NAVY
Soundings

Tn time of war light houses, gas buoys and other beacons which might be of aid to the enemy, are eXtin- guished. Warships arc supposed to know their way about in home waters. But in lodging and circling, either to escape or in pursuit, all sense of position may be lost. DcStroyers and patrols steam through black nights and foggy days for weeks without an observation. and making so many abrupt changes of course that dead reckoning is more than dead it is ex- tinct.

But there may be other tables. How do you tell the right one?

CHINESE LABOR.
Considering Consc1iption of Goodies, Who Have Ever Done
 Good Work on Railroads.
(Montreal Gazette)

tMOntreal Gazette)
 TO suggest the admittance into Can- ada of Chinese coolies is to lay pro- lane hands upon the Temple of La DOT. Yet conditions may arise under Wh1ch It IS not merely iustifiahle but desirable, to take advantage of the abundant supply of labor afforded by China to perform most necessary work in Canada. The case. as we un- derstand it. is this: the trunk lines of the railways are in need, in places, of renewal of rails; these rails are not now to be obtained from the rail- mills, and so it is proposed to take up the steel on certain side lines to re- place the more or less worn-Out rails on the main lines. It is for the pur- pose of performing this work that the proposal has been made to import a few thousand Chinese coolies, who, as experience proves, make very good manual laborers. It was by Chinese cooles that much of the Canadian Pacific Railway m the prairie section and across British Columbia was built They are industrious, docfle quick to learn, and, while not physi- cally as strong as white men, do not shirk their tasks. Three Chinamen are said to be about the equal of two white men in pick and shovel work
 If the scheme of transposing, rails from side lines to main lines and vice versa, is seriously entertained a new source of labor must be tapped. There is presently a shortage of labor, and much of what there is is inefficient. It is not necessary to repeat, nor to consider, the various objections to q great incursion of Chinese in competi- ton with white labor. Its undesira,- hilitv is recognized by law and sus- tained by public opinion. But circun- stances arise at times, in which rules give place to exceptions, and such circumstance has been created by the war. Many thousands of Chinese have been sent overseas in the inter ests of the Allies, not to serve on the firing line. but to perform menial and manual labor essential to the care of the armies and the conduct of the campaign and when peace comes these coo1ies will be returned to their native land War service is not, however, confined to the area of hostilities. When we in Canada produce shells and other munitions. when we sup ply foodstuffs, a war service is being done, and when the means of trans portation are accelerated a like ser vice is performed. If white labor is not available for these purposes, not less war service because discharged in Canada, then other kinds of labor must be sought for temporary use.
 The permanent importation of Chi n ese will not be tolerated, and the a- bor unions have no cause for appre- hension should it be decided to draw upon China for men to meet the ex- igencies of war times.

Skilled Workers Wanted.
Lawrence Tribune.


 No doubt in many cases unen1- nlpycd men are physically unable to perform the harder tasks of manual tabor But if they had gained ability at any good trade they would be able .n find positions where the demands na a frail physique would not be too lleaVN.
 Young men ought to realize from these conditions the absolute necessity Of learning some vital and important trade. When they simply perform menial services or light tasks that any child could do, they are helpless in times of depression or sudden exigen- ry. Once they learn how to perform some task that is vitally necessary to the industrial organization, their live llhood is secure so long as they keep their health.

LITTLE SUGAR AND GOOD TEETH

Not long ago an eminent physician in Boston told an audience that the sugar shortage has already shown re- suits in better teeth and all around general health.
 Those who like to delve into statis- tics bring forth the interesting nfor- nation that the annual sugar con sumption in the United States was thirty-six pounds in 1871, and that last year, previous to the meagre sup ply, the consumption had risen to eighty-five pounds per man, woman and child.
 Eating on an average of third of t pound of sugar q day will put the best teeth on the road to decay so wo arc informed by those com petent to know. Of course, there were thoso who did not eat this much; but there were, on the other hand, those who made up for what others lost.
 The children are the great offend CTS against the law which signals less sugar. consumption. They, too, are the ones who suffer from defec- tive teeth. If the sugar shortage does nothing else than remedy this national malady of bad teeth it's mission will have been performed.
