ACCEPTING DEFERRED
CLASSIFICATION

AS the result of the appeal by Presi-
dent Wilson and the direct order of
Gen. Crowder, there has been a re-
vulsion of feeling among the mine
workers who are now willing to ac-
cept exemption from military service
without making the objections they
formerly did. They have come to rea-
lie that their services are more need
ed in mines than in a trench and they
know. too. that no person can accuse
them of being "slackers." They are
now of the opinion that mining coal is
fighting for the Nation in the second
line of attack and feeding the soldier
with ammunition to kill the HIN.
The coal companies-are claiming de-
ferred classification for every man
whose presene is needed at the mines.
as that is necessary to ward of too
great draft upon the man-power of
the collieries. Many mine-workers
have been requested to turn their ques-
tionnaires over to the companies be-
fore sending them to the draft-boards.
This is done that the companies can
be sure that exemption will be claimed
whenever right.
The companies are making supple
mental claims for exemption of men
whose claims, as essential men. have
not been strongly presented. This &C
ton is taken with the approval of the
Government which desires to, keep the
mines in fullest operation. III all the
men registered were drafted, it would
mean the closing down of the mines
and no more coal either for war or
public needs.

FUEL ECONOMY;
HOW TO SAVE GAS
Eight Simple Rules Often Neg
lected But Should Be
Observed
HELP SHIPS CARRY FOOD

Because most towns and cities use
gas ranges and because the gas used
g almost always artificial gas, gen
Grated by coal-power, all must begin
Kitchen fuel saving with gas saving.
Simple though each of the gas saving
rules may seem, none can be neglect
ed Their total saving may demon
strate whether ships shall sail to
carry food. munitions and clothing to
United States soldiers IN France.
The rules for saving in the gas
ranges are:
/. Gas should never be lighted until
the dish to be cooked has been set on
the burner.
2. The range or the instantaneous
heater should not heat larger quanti-
ties of water than are actually need
ed for the cooking or cleaning or
baking to be done Immediately
3. The size of the flame regulates
small flame should be used under a
small cooking vessel. and a larger
flame or larger burner under the
larger vessel
4. The flame that plays around the
side of the cooking utensil is so much
wasted heat and should not be per-
mitted
8. The flame that is left burning
when one takes off the dish is another
source of waste and should be turn
ed out even ii il must soon be re-
lighted
6. A yellow flame means a dirty
flame, which means waste of heat
whereas a burner that is kept clean
will give blue flame and the blue
flame is better.
q The oven need not be heated long
ahead of the time 1t is to be used, and
the oven burners need not stay light
ed until the very end of the heating
process.
s. Every possible unit of oven heat
should be used by filling the oven
space to its full capacity on baking
days.
III you are fortunate enough to have
an electric range. economy of electric

principles apply to electric economy
as to gas economy.
