reducing their outfit or finding q sub

A lot of silly talk about methods of
saving coal is in circulation just now
from fuel administrators and arm
chair experts chiefly of Washington
or New York, though sometimes their
mistaken ideas get currency even in
Vermont 1t is absolutely essential
to save fuel but the advice offered by |
the average Washington expert is |
Just about as valuable up here i'll |
northern New England as their coun
sci would be to Gen. Pershing in TAX |
ing Metz. The secret of saving fuel
is to heat as little cubic space as pos
sible, to bank the fires at night and to
waste no fuel. To go without needed
heat is dangerous extravaganza.
New England is even now in the grip
of scourge OF influenza, pneumonia
and kindred diseases. The cold, wet
weather of the past two weeks has
been favorable to the spread of these
diseases and the people have aided
tremendously by not keeping their
houses proberly warmed. Already
the working efficiency has been re-
duced by probably twenty-five per
cent. The most important step in
combating the epidemic is to keep
warm. Furnaces and stoves should
he started now if they haven't been
already. To follow the advice of the
fuel experts" and put on warming
houses and workrooms until Nov ! or
Nov. Is, may be all right for Washing
ton and Philadelphia but it would
cost the lives OF thousands of active
workers in New England and other
northern sections OF the country. II
isn't necessary to heat a whole house
but the living rpom where people sit
should be kept&arm and the degree
of warmth required depends on the
persons who sit there. People who
exercise much in the open air are
comfortable in a temperature from 60
TO 6S while old people, and children
playing on the lloor, need a tempera-
itiro of 70 to "a. 1t is essential to
