Early uee o. Coal IN Britain.

Some say that coal was used by the
ancient Britons; at oil events. it was
IN article Of household consumption to
some extent during the Anglo-Saxon
period as early as $50 A D. 1t Ger
tainly was known there in the thir-
teenth century, as is evidenced by a
charter given In 1880 BY King Henry
III to the inhabitants Of Newcastle-on-
Tyne for the winning Of the numerous
coal mines In that region. 1t was
however, not until 1769 that the Paris
fans got English coal from Newcastle.
Subsequent coal mines were discover
ed In various parts Of France, notably
in the departments Of Pas-le-Calais
and the Loire. In America the depos-
its near Richmond, Va, were discover
ed in 1901, and mining was begun In
17O1, while anthracite was frst pro
duced in 1903.

Of These Rules And Oh
serving Them

Bakers are permitted to bake and sell
Victory Bread on Mondays. Grocers and
all bread dealers are asked not to bake
bread for distribution on Mondays; all
citizens are asked to forego eating any
thing made of wheat or wheat products
on Mondays.
Bakers are not to bake bread on We'd
nesdays and are to bake only the normal
amount of one average days supply on
Tuesdays. Grocers and all bread deal
ers and distributors are not to sell bread
On Wednesdays and to sell to each Gus
toner on Tuesdays only the normal am
cunt Of an average days order of bread
or wheat products on Wednesday. Con-
sumers should eat no wheat bread or
wheat products on Wednesdays. Bread
consumed on Wednesdays should contain
no part wheat. Grocers and food deal
ers are to sell no wheat crackers, cakes,
wheat flour, macaroni on Wednesdays,
and only the normal amount Of these
foods on other DAYS in accordance with
the regulations governing such sales.
Meat dealers, grocers and all distribu-

norance or disloyalty is excusable.
The foregoing wheatless and meatless
regulations to control the distribution
Of wheat and meat in st. Mary Parish
were decided upon by the Parish Food
Commission Wednesday. These regula-
lions are in conformity with the wish
es Of the Food Commissioners of the
United States and the State Govern
nents. The usgent need for the OBJ
servance Of these rules is apparent to the
district, parish and ward chairman and
they are advising the dealers and the
public through the press Of their deci-
sion and asking the cooperation of all
business men and citizens in carving
cut the wheatless war measure.
