DIR. Copeland said:
II have taken up with the State Fuel
Administrator. Delos W. Cooke, the
question OF the use of fuel at this
time. He very heartily indorses the
opinion OF the department that fuel
should be used II 1t Is necessary to pre-
serve the health Of the people. 1t Is
my opinion that the fires should be
lighted and the business places, fac
tories and homes be kept warm enough
to take of the chill and to avoid the
pernicious effects OF living in damp and
| cold quarters. We strongly advise tho
| people to burn such amount Of coal
as Is necessary to accomplish this desir-
able end. No one need feel that this
| Is an unpatriotic act. 1t meets the APP
, prevail of the official overseer for the
Government and the use of few tons
of coal now may spare thousands of
| persons Illness, suffering and poverty
Even though there should be a shortage
| OF coal later in the season this is
no time to refrain from using a suf-
| fcient amount of coal to maintain
health"
