PAY for your shoe leather this winter
by care and economy in the handling OF
the household heater with due regard to
both the adjustment of the troublesome
plant and the use of fuel, is the advice
given by Amedee j. Casey, editor of the
American Coal journal, in a plea for the
conservation of coal Coal is going to be
scarce this winter, the journal asserts,
and it is important to take cognizance
of its value and Judge It's use and that
of the furnace accordingly. Mr.. Casey S
advice follows:
Properly handled the household furnace
can be made to pay for the famiy's shoes
this winter, even at the prices we are told
the shoe men are going to demand. 1t
will take a little study to accomplish this
but. once the method is learned, it will
work almost automatically, like the habit
of eating peas with a fork.
All that is necessary is to learn how
to build and care for the furnace fire and
how to work the hampers Anyone OF
average intelligence can acquire tins
knowledge with little effort and the re-
suits in coal saving will be astonishing.
1t is to be supposed that the furnace is
good one, properly installed, with all
joints tight and with unobstructed lues
If these conditions do not exist, cut out
pair of shoes and take the money to
have the plant put in proper order, bear
ing in mind that the cheaper the furnace
and tho installation, the more it will cost
in the long run.
Before starting the winter fire, see that
the furnace is absolutely clean A thir

story is told by the name Of the

by an article published in "The
London Daily News:
About seventy-tive officers, we are
told, are shortly going out to East
Africa to form a little community Of
their own. They have secured 25,OOO
acres of land, fifty miles southeast of
Kisumi, at a nominal price. and they
intend to make a success of growing
fax. Markets for the produce OF the
farms have already been arranged,
and it is expected that in two years
or so the little colony will be self
supporting.
Twenty-Five of the members are
married. and their wives will go out
with them. 1t is intended that the

"On the contrary; it is a union Of

The next day, December II, it ap-
peared that one Of the witnesses,
who was also one Of the defendants,
had vanished. He had not been seen
since Monday, when he had promised
to appear, having been released on
bond on the score of i'll health. The

showed that even typewriters dis
play individual peculiarities-an i'm

had joined the society in 1916, was
made an organizer and formed fly

their doctrines among the farm
workers. He was arrested in the
summer Of 1917 and, while in jail,
was converted from his radical be-
