The private schools tell us that
they depend largely upon Cosmo-
politan for increase in their enroll
ments-in fact, it is said by many
of these schools that Cosmopolitan
sends them more pupils each sea-
son than all the other magazines
combined.
This has been accomplished, not
only because of the tremendous VOL
une of school advertising Cosmo-
politan publishes, but also because
Cosmopolitan is bought and read in
more than a million homes that pre-
fer the best work of the greatest
writer's and artists in all the world.
To publish the work of these
writers and artists, month after
month, in the best magazine that it
is possible to produce is an achiev-
ment in which Cosmopolitan feels
a justihable pride.
But to give to the parents of
America a school information SER
vice unexcelled by any other maga-
} become known among the private
as their most prolific source of enroll
is an even greater achievement.

THE FUEL ORDER.

III a - AAA~
The fuel order is drastic. There
is no doubt about that. But 1t is
necessary and it viii become the duty
OF all our citizens to observe its
provisions as sacredly as if the coun-
try was still at war. In fact the coun-
try is worse off than if we were at
war. During the war the miners
worked with Increased zeal and en-
ergy to win the war. They not only
supplied the nation but they sent coal
to other nations whose mines We're
crippled through the war. In those
emergencies when coal ran short the
whole nation entered into the spirit
of fuel conservation and the country
was saved the necessity of the Wig
orous measures now made necessary.
But not so now. The normal supply
Of coal for the country is now run
ming fifty per cent short of consump
tion. All reserve supplies are being
used up. Winter is coming On. With
such a situation before us the peo-
pie must conserve coal or disaster
will overcomesus.
We are all Inconvenience. But it
is better for all to suffer these than
to invite other regulations worse. For
a man to open his store in violation
of the regulations published in this
paper is just as mucha violation Of
the law as the miners would violate
the law in ignoring the injunction of
the government. The moral, patriotic
sentiment of the community must be
aroused against the violator of the
law. Let's all support the govern
ment unselfishly and help to win the
fight. Unless we do the railroads will
be forced to suspend and then starva.

Rnlinr Summary.

Ruling Summary.
"The regulations apply alike to in
dustries, stores and business houses
actually burning coal, oil or other fuel
in their plants and to those using
electric power, whether hydro-electric
or steam.
"This question was given nost
serious consideration. The deci sion
was based, both upon the well-knowsa
fact that most of the hydro-e electric
utilities consume certain amount of
coal, varying with the amount of wa
ter power available, and upon the
conviction that TO make any ex;ep-
ton would involve indefensible dis
elimination and endanger the whole
plan of conservation, the execution
of which is imperative for the safety
of the country.
an this connection it may be stated
that hydro-electric power is now being
diverted under direction of this COM
mittee from various points of pro1uc-
ton to distant communities where
users are largely dependent Upon
produced electricity and, there
fore, power saved by the restrictions
at points Of production is saving coal
elsewhere.
Laundries Exempted.
Cooperation of laundries and clean
ing plants is considered essential
from the standpoint of public health,
therefore the restrictions do not APP
ply to such establishments.
"The committee was convinced o.
the necessity for extending the hours
of business of grocery and meat
stores and milk depots and modi-
fcation of the regulations was isoued
permitting such places of business to
remain open until 6 p. m. daily except
Saturday, whom their closing hour is
8 p. m.
"Many merchants and others urged
that they be allowed to open before
8 a. m. and close later than p. M,
on condition that they used no light
or heat or used candles or kerosene
lamps. No exception Of this kind
can be made. Any exception would
result in discrimination and tend to
