Food Store Ruling.

Washington.-Twoo of the chief ac-
complishments sought by the Govern
ment in closing down industry by cut
ting of fuel supplies have been
achieved, Fuel Administrator Garfield
announced.
Homes throughout the East, he said,
are receiving coal in larger quantities
than has been reported for weeks,
and bunker coal is again moving to
seaboard in sufficient volume to sup
ply transatlantic shipping.
A third aim-the clearing of rail-
road congestion-has not been at
tanned as yet, largely, DR.. Garfield de-
ciared, because of unusual weather
conditions.
The first of the 10 Monday holidays
was observed generally and business
everywhere in the East was at a
standstill. Reports told of few vio-
lations of the order, and said that
thousands Of establishments were
closed, even though they had tech
nical right to remain open.
1--WE are supplying coal to the piers, .
said DR.. Garfield. 1T row is Ques-
ton Of putting it aboard Ship
The heavy movement Of coal to
ports has taxed tug and barge facili-
tics heavily. Despite pooling ar
rangement put into operation at New
York, it was found difficult to handle
receipts. At the Shipping Board it
was said that both tugs and barges
there would be corirHandeered if nee
escary to make the work more eff
cient, hut officials were of the opinion
that pooling would suffice. j. e. Par
.sons, special representative Of the
board at New York in charge of
banlsering, has been given full author
ity to exercise the boards comman-
de,"ing power IN his discretion.

School Lunch Basket Must be Filled
With Wholesome Food

School lunches for the children
have again become the chief thought
for many mothers in the morning. 1t
is easy enough to prepare wholesome
milk dishes when the children are at
home, but to find something that will
pack safely and is still nourishing is
another question. The subject of food
for children has become vital this
year when it is realized as never be-
fore how necessary it is to provide
for the coming generation. School
lunches (which will be economical and
which above all will provide sufficient
nourishment must be carefully plan
ned by housekeepers. A few sugges-
tons of basket lunches are offered by
the u. S. food administration:
Cheese sandwiches. dates stuffed
with nuts, oranges, crisp baking pow
der biscuits made of graham flour,
celery, prunes stuffed with peanut
butter or baked beans and lettuce
sandwiches, apple sauce, cream cheese
and olives, etc.
