URGES PEOPLE TO ORDER COAL.
Fuel Administration Sees Need Of
Planning for Winter.

In a propaganda incident to de-
termined effort for summer distribu-
ton of coal needed for next winter,
the fuel administration urges the coal
consumers of the nation to order their
coal at once, even regardless of the
prospect Of delivery
With the country coal supply largely
ordered ahead. the fuel administration
would consider itself in a position to
act promptly and facilitate the move
ment of adequate supply to meet de-
mands. The railroads, too, would be
enabled to judge of traffic requirements
for aiding coal production and distri-
button.

DR.. F. J. Fluno Asserts It Is Not q

Rediscovery of an Old Truth.

That Christian Science is not a dis

covery of an old truth, was tho as
sertion of DR.. Francis ]. Fluno, speak,
ing at Polls Theater yesterday after
noon.
'The claims of Christian Science on
the modern world" he said, ARE really
the claims of Christian Science on the
prehistoric age. the ancient age, the
| medieval age. the present age and the
| ages to come. 1t is the law Of eternal
life, divine principle, and is therefore
| the science of sciences, the religion
of religions and the church of all
churches
christian Science is not one of the
! many ways Of healing the SICK but it is
the only correct way, because 1t is
Gods way. 1t is the way that truth
has OF destroying erroy; not by any
changing one error for another), but
to correct the wrong, by the right
understanding of the science of life
Turns searchlight on Many Issues.
ut turns the searchlight on animal
magnetism. mesmerism, hypnotism or
mental suggestion. and shows them to
finite mind, SO called, which is but the
negative of the divine mind. or mind of
God: and has no more existence, COM
pared with the divine mind, than dark
ness has. compared with light
ut turns the X-ray of scientific un-
Outstanding on the so-ca1led material

science of numbers.
1T makes better man and ha&+or

When man begins to see himself as
| child Of God. child of spirit rather
| than child Of the dust, then he begins
to take possession of himself In the
name of Almighty God, and to alaim his
oirthright of health. happiness. har-
mony and Immortality. He then be-
gins to take dominion over the beast
or the field and over the fish of the
sea, the fowl of the air. and over every
thing that "creepeth upon the earth;
but this dominion Is not expressed in
the power Of might, of physical
strength and mortal cruelty, but in the
power Of love, kindness, gentleness and
helpfulness"
