"The Effects of Mortal Sin on the
Soul" was the subject of the sermon
preached last night by Rev. Father
Cronin, one of the missionary priests
conducting the mission at st. Mary,s
Catholic church. The priest painted
a word picture of the loss of the soul
on account of this sin and quoted the
scripture in regard to the existence
of real hell. Many persons today,
he said, especially those surrounded
by all of the comforts of life, do not
want to believe in real hell because
they are in state of mortal sin. Rev.
Father Fitzpatrick gave a short IN
struction on confession previous to
the sermon. A large congregation
which filled the crurch, attended last
night.

PAPER BOARD MAKERS
MUST CURTAIL FUEL
Garfield Issues First Order
to Save Fuel.

Washington, Jan. l9.-The first order
for curtailment Of the consumption of
fuel in industry was given tonight by
Fuel Administrator Garfield directing
all manufacturers Of paper board to
suspend absolutely the use Of fuel In
their plants between I O'Clock Satur-
day morning and the same hour Mon
day morning.
The paper board makers were among
the first called in BY DR. Garfield for
his conferences with manufacturers not
engaged in war work. through which 1t
is proposed To reduce coal consumption
by perhaps 5o.000.0oo tons during the
coming year. They estimated the
amount of fuel they could save and
agreed to cooperate in any plan that
might be agreed upon.
Compliance with tonight's order is
made obligatory under a penalty. II is
estimated that the actual saving OF
coal to be effected will amount to 49,
900 tons weekly. or 10000 tons annual
ly. Similar orders affecting other in
dustries, probably nearlytlO0 in all. will
be issued later.
