HI'MIDIFIED AIR MEANS
COAL ECONOMY

Continued from FIRST Pagel
contains about one-tonth TO one-twcn-
tlcth CT the water it should contain for
our health and comfort, or from one
twentieth to one-tenth of what it
might contain. What is the result :?
We require a temperature OF 20 de-
grcs to IS degrees +. to make up for
the rapid cooling Of our skin by eva
poration of the perspiratIon. Ii suf-
ficient moisture We're present, this
evaporation would not proceed so rap
idly and we could feel very comfort
able at Go degrees F. Too much. how
ever, is just as harmful. The damp
saturated air of kitchen on wash
day prevents all evaporation from the
skin and causes moisture 10 accumu-
late. Then If we step out of doors, we
are certain to catch cold because we
have an excess of moisture present.
The proper humidity is from 30 to 55
per cent of what the air will hold.
Here then is a way of lowering the
temperature necessary for comfort
6 to 10 degrees F. and never knowing
the difference were IL not that our coal
bill is less, that We have fewer colds,
and that our furniture and book bind
ings do not crack as they usually do
during the winter.
How is the average householder, who
cannot afford TO install expensive sys-
TENS of ventilation and humidifying,
going to remedy this dryness7 1t de-
pends upon his system of heating. If
he uses a stove, he can put a large op-
en- pan of water on top of the stoves
and keep this water near the boiling
temperature. II he uses hot air fur
mace, he may place pans of water in
the air passages, where the water will
be heated and evaporated quickly. II
steam heat or hot water is used the
following homely device will work
very efficiently. Place a fairly deep
pan of water on top of the radiators
and dip one end of a Turkish towel
in the pan. allowing the remainder Of
the towel to spread out down behind
the radiator. A second pan should be
placed under the towel to catch any
water that might drip. AS a rule none
will drip. for the hot radiator evap-
CRATES IT before 1t reaches the bottom.
The water lses from the first pan thru

opinion We have heard many people
express.

4 fact that the town would ultimately
pay this money. No answer, altho We
were first charged with being in error
on the statement. Now as a matter
Of fact there are no court decisions
upon the point, but the bond recites
that The Town Of GunnIson acknow-
lodges the indebtedness and will pay
the bearer
Altho 1t Is supposed to pay them
only out of a special assessment, 1t
must in the end assume the bonds to
protect its credit, since about twenty
years from now the town will want
TO float other or rcfunding bonds. II
is as certain as financial matters of
that kind can be.
Tho bonds will probably be sold since
the price Is evidently about twice the
COS, and possibly made so purposcly

certainly all pay the bill in full.

CARSTEN NOT SLACkER
PROTESTS AGAINST LIST

A Letter from VIM. F. Carsten pro-
tests vehemently against the recent
list of ".slackers printed in the News
Champion, of those who failed to re-
turn their questionaires. Mr.. Carsten
enlisted in the regular army at Fort
Logan on the 29th of June last, was
first stationed at Hawaii, and is now
with Battery F. 9th Reg. F. A., at Fort
Sill, Okla.
We don't blame Mr.. Carsten, and
have tried, in printing these lists, to
eliminate those names where we had
accurate information that they were
already in the service. However, the
local board is without alternative in
posting these lists, for under the mass
of red tape instructions from head
quarters they have no discretion. Even
those in service must take pains, and
their relatives must take pains to zee
that these exacting regulations are all
complied with, because, rs Mr.. Cars-
ten says, at doesn't sound very well
to be called . Stacker after having vol
unteered to serve your country.
don't know of a worse name person
could be called at the present time

CAMOIFLAGING THE ISSUE

Aitho the Gunnison Empire COM
plains because News Champion has
asked many questions about the pro-
posed West town sewer, questions that
would take much of its valuable re-
search and study to answer, it makes
no attempt to answer one of them, but
devotes column to absurd charges
that this paper is opposed to West
Town. What nonsense! II the Empire
had devoted one-half the time and
space it occupied in trying 10 prove
an utterly proposterous charge again
IT the Ncws-Champion to answering
the questions, we would be able to de-
rive some light on n very important
financial transaction. II this data had
been secured in advance it would have
furnished basis for intelligent &C
ton.
It isn't worth while citing instances
of the time and space and personal
assistance this paper has given to ev-
cry enterprise of all parts Of our city.
Our readers are convinced that News
Champion always aims to be fair and
square on every occasion. However,
We regret that the Empire fails to ap-
preciatc the necessity of going to the
bottom of business deal that involves
$4,000 bonding proposition which
many of the best business men or our
city believe will ultimately result in
assuming of from $1,000 to $4,000 Of
the indebtedness by the town at large.
We asked the Empire, how many of
the 426 lots supposed to be served by
this sewer are already delinquent in
taNas To tho host Of our inform M ion
there are already 81. Now the sewer
tax is third lien on city lots subsequ-
ent to the liens for general taxes and
for city bonds already issued. 1t is
very plain that probabilities are large
ly in favor of the supposition that the
town may ultimately pay on half Of

is il that the wonderful human mech

the same time help solve a national
problem and reduce personal expenses.

We're received and a plan was made

BOYS CROssING POND BY
TENS OF THOUSANDS NOW

The addresses Of our Gunnison
county boys are changing rapidly. This
week word has been received that sew
eral Of them have arrived in France.
Charley Balm, Hal Exter and Her
bert Exter, all Of them enlisted early
in the fall arrived in France on the
thirtieth Of January. Three boys have
been fortunate in keeping together
ever since they enlisted. They spent
a few months in Camp Greene, N. C..
and the balance Of the time in Camp
Mills in New York.
John Kurtz, formerly a Gunnison
boy and known by every one here,
enlisted in Salida last fall. Word came
this week that he had also arrived in
Sunny France.
Many of our navy boys will soon
begin to go. On Sunday, Mrs. John
French received telegram telling her
that Orion had set sail for France.
Bud Andrews writes this week that
the Battalion he was in at Camp Bel
voir was to sail on the first of the
month for France.
When reports like these come home
to US, the war seems Of greater sig
nifcance. It will undoubtedly be only
. short time until the greater major
ity of our boys will be fighting in the
trenches Of France.
Between thirty and forty thousand
American boys got across the pond
last week, and as many more are on
the water now. The known fact that
20 many Of cur Gunnison boys may be
with them has rendered an anxious

SAYS PENN. COAL
BARONS CONTROL
WINTER SUPPLY

Charges that Pennsylvania coal oper-
ators. through dock companies at Duluth
and other Northwestern ports, control
the winters coal supply for the entire
Northwest are TO be probed thoroughly.
Senator Kenyon, member of the Senate
subcommittee investigating the coal stu
alton OF the nation. has announced mem
bers of the Federal Trade Commission
will be called this week to explain the
connection between coal shippers and
dock companies.
This announcement came after the
committee had heard S. B. Houck, of
Minneapolis, counsel for a real coal
dealers association, embracing seven
States, declare that a recent embargo.
placed by Fuel Administrator Garfield.
had shut out Illinois coal entirely from
the district, leaving it dependent upon
dock coal He also charged that COM
panies controlling this dock coal were
allied with, IL not actually owned by,
Pennsylvania coal producers.
Dock coal, HOuck said, costs, under
prices fixed by the Government. an
average Of 3 more a ton than Illinois
coal could be delivered at under the
Government price for IT.
He charged further that lack OF super
vision of distribution OF this lake coal
would soon leave various sections in the
southern portion OF the Northwest dis
trict absolutely without coal.
