SHIPS MUST HAVE COAL.
Furnishing of Them Put Ahead of War
Industries.

Washington, d. c., Jan l5--Ships
transporting supplies to Europe were
| added by Fuel Administrator Garfield
last night to the list of essentials that
must be supplied with coal. They were
put ahead even of war industries after
reports came to the fuel administration
that million tons of shipping is held at
New York for lack of bunkers
A general plan of coal distribution de-
signed to meet the fuel famine in the
east as outlined by DR. Garfield last
night, gives preference first to house
holders; second, to public utilities sup
plying light and heat; third, to ships
transporting food and war materials to
the American army and to the allies;
fourth, to war industries, and, fifth, to
all 6ther classes of industry.
The program will be put into force
with the aid of state fuel administrators
on the return to Washington of p. b.
Noyes, head of the fuel administration
conservation division, who is studying
the situation in New York and New
England. 1t viii apply probably to all
states east of the Mississippi. Industries
in the fifth class named by DIR. Garfield
probably will be required to shut down
until the other classes are supplied. Their
supplies viii be cut off and il necessary
the fuel administration viii requisition
any coal they may have in store for dis
tribution among the more favored
classes
The less essential industries themselves
may be further classified as it probably |
will be found necessary to keep some
running more steadily than Others.
The preferential and curtailment plan,
DR.. Garfield made clear last night, is an
arrangement made necessary /
by famine conditions. When relief ap- /
pears for the shortage that is bringing
to thousands in eastern cities
.he orders win be modified.
Fuel administration officials hope that
'elief may be made possible by shutting
lown the less essential industries for
hree days week, but if it appears that
his will not materially benefit conditions
hey will be forced to remain closed un-
il relief is assured

Frederick L. Small Was Hanged at Con-
cord, N. H., This Morning for
Numbering His Wife at
Ossipee,

Concord, n. H., Jan. l5.-Frederick A.

Small was escorted into the death
chamber by his spiritual adviser, but not
a word was said in the chamber.

Mrs. Small's body was found in the
cellar of Small's cottage on the shore
of Lake Ossipee after the building had
been destroyed by fire. Small had gone
TO Boston few hours before the blaze
was discovered. The theory advanced bv
the prosecution at the trial was that he
had killed his wife to obtain $4,000 on
a joint insurance policy which he and
his wife had taken out short time be-
before and that he had arranged a me-
chanical device TO set the house afre
after his departure. lncnera tion of the
body was prevented by its falling into a

PERSONAL LETTER
 REVEALS THE FACTS
Mrs. Whitfield's Troubles
 Are Over and She Gained Thirty-Five Pounds

One Of the most interesting and one of the most remarkable statements ever made in the south in connection with proprietary medicine, was that given by Mrs J. c. Whitfield, 12l6 Johnson ave-i nue, Nashville, Tenn, in an unsolicited personal letter addressed to the Tanlac offices at Atlanta, Ga. Mrs. Whitfield states that she not only obtained entirely relief from trouble that had kept her miserable for years, but haG gained 3a pounds besides. Her letter follows:
 Nashville, Tenn. May ', 1918.
 "Gentlemen: I was in bad health for years and had taken several differenc medicines, but they did me no good. 1 saw Tanlac advertised in the Nashville Banner and 1 tried it. To my great wonder t was just what I needed My stomach was in such bad condition that everything I ate would come back up, and even water made me sick.
 T had fallen off about 9 pounds. Since l have been taking Tanlac I nave gained o5 pounds, and I've only finished three bottles. Everything I eat agrees with me and builds me up. I am in bet ter health than for years, and l owe 1t all to Tanlae. I wouldn't be without 1t in my house.
 '.w:+s. many thanks to you and your wonderful medicine, I am, yours very truly, MRS. J. c. WHlTFlELD.

Despite handicaps, the work of relief was carried on A Red Cross unit of F doctors and 12 nurses had accompanied the relief commission, bringing with them such supplies as could be carried. Other supplies were bought away up at Archangel, Russia, and rushed to the stricken country, and the British hospi- tai at Roman, behind the battle front was taken over by the Red Cross, while another hospital was established at Jassy. Ten thousand persons are now being given relief and the number is Increasing every week. That is req son why the Red Cross is asking for funds Will you help by contributing to the Red Cross war fund? The good 1t does is incalculable.
 Captured American soldiers arriving in German prison camps will find American Red Cross emergency food parcels await ing them, if arrangements already in operation are fully carried out. At the prison camps at Tuchel, in west Prussia, permission has been obtained to store emergency supplies and 360 10pound food parcels have been shipped there from the Red Cross prison relief headquarters at Berne, Switzerland, for distribution to newly arrived prisoners. There arc about 25 Americans in the Tuchel camp at present.
 It is hoped that arrangements can be made in the near future whereby all or nearly all of the German prison camps will be stocked with similar emergency supplies in anticipation of the wants of those who are unfortunate enough to fall Into the hands of the enemy. There are
