Should Set Brains Of the
Country to Conserving Goa.

1t requires 100000 tons of coal for
the daily needs of the United States
in times Of peace. Just how great has
been the increase In consumption due
to war conditions Is not authoritative
~ stated, but the country must be
burning nearly 100000 tons of coal
each day. One-third of this fuel is
not consumed in the stoves and fur
naces but goes out with the ashes.
One-third is used for purposes which
are of no real value to the nation and
confer no benefit upon the individuals
who burn it. The other third Of the
coal used in the United States is the
necessary amount which Is vital to the
conduct Of the nations affairs. And
the individual and the official and the
power plant should set the best brains
Of the country to the task of conserv-
ing the twc-thirtis of the nations coal
which now are wasted.-Houston Post.

We Applaud the Under Dog
Because of Our Experience

Our sympathies naturally travel the
line Of likes; that is, the things we
feel in ourselves, we feel in others.
We applaud the under dog. because
we so often have been the under dog.
We like to lift the other fellow up
when he is down because we also have
been down. Sympathy starts at home
Or else it isn't sympathy. Your Pc
riodlc moods of failure and disappoint-
ments are your Under Dogs. In the
opinion of George Matthew Adams,
writer for Good Housekeeping.
So instead of walking past these On
der Dogs Of yours and casting no SYM
pathy their way, pause to give them
your heart and your hope, and soon
the picture and fact will be your Over
Dsgs-your victories and your genu-
ine achievements.
COurageously cheer the Under Dogs
Of your experience and stay proudly
by them until their fight becomes .
factor of your klngship.
