Behind THE F0otIiQhts
LYRIC

Deserving of the highest praise seems to be the concensus among the atrical critics and patrons of the Lyric theatre after enjoying perform ance of "A Stitch in Time" the de- Nghtful society drama which is now being presented by the Poll Players at the familiar playhouse. AL though numerous successes have been seen at the Lyric none have quite du- picated that which is being given this popular presentation. Although class ed as a comedy there is enough pa thos and heart interest to please those of varied tastes and it would be hard to find anyone that cannot find something in "A Stitch in Time" which will please.
 There will be a special matinee to- day in honor of the holiday and tho Management Joins with the Players in wishing the patrons of the theatre B Happy New Year. There will be no advance in prices regardless of the quality of the production but those who intend seeing this wonder play are urged to make reservations for seats at the earliest convenient moment There are still a few choice seats left for the matinee and evening performances but unless they are reserved tho first come, frs. served" rule will prevail
 Next week the Poli Players will be seen in one of the most powerful dra- matic productions that has been plac- ed upon the American stage in some time. Nearly everyone has heard of the furore created by Robert Hill Hard in "A Fool There Was,' which was the first play which brought the vampire woman to public notice The play is based upon Rudyard Kip Iing's famous poem, "A Fool There Was" and illustrates the story told in these lines. The vampire woman will be portrayed by Miss Alice Clements the leading lady and Clay Clement will take the powerful but difficult part of the man In the story.

WASTED HOT WATER IS So MUCH GOAL
 THROWN OUTDOORS

Almost without exception domestic water is provided in the cities of the east by pumping plants which burn coal
 Therefore, any of tine hundred ways in which we habItually and commonly waste water is a direct waste of coal.
 So far as cold water Is concerned, this is q very small waste indeed, but it Is a much more serious matter where hot water is concerned, the United States Fuel Administration points out
 A leaky tap on hot water pipe will waste several gallons of water-and several pounds of coal-in an hour.
 SEE THAT ALL YOUR WATER PIPES AND FAUCETS ARE WITH. OUT LEAKS.
 A little careful supervision in the kitchen will often cut in half the quantity of hot water used, with an obvious saving in coal.
 Likewise, many of US are spend, thrifts when we get into a bathtub and use two or three times as much water as necessary for q perfectly good bath.
 Don't let the water run after you have enough in the tub for q bath.

SETTING FURNACE, STOVE, GRATEASH
 SAVES MUCH FUEL
U. s. Fuel Administration Urges Reclamation of All Waste
 to Aid Fuel Situation.

Thousands of tons of coal can be reclaimed and proporiionats dollars saved In fuel bills If the house holders of the nation will adopt the simple, homely method of sitting their ashes. About Ave bucket fuIs of coal are thrown away in the ashes each week by tho wastefu householder. Each bucketful weighs about nineteen pounds, and fresh nut coal sold by the bucketful costs about 16 cents each. If this coal Is reclaimed by sitting the ashes, 1t would repre- sent q saving of so cents a week and conserve just so much coal for the dealer to supply other householders. The United States Fuel Administra- ton gives the following directions for retaining coal from ashes:
 How to Sift Ashes.
 Shake the sitter until all the dust. like particles fall through. You will then have left in your sitter a mix. ture of black and white-covered pieces of coal and probably a few clinkers and pieces of stone.
 Pick out and throw away all stone. Do not throw away clinkers unless they are thoroughly burned. Coal will often fuse in such a manner that the part in the center is not burned. Break citnkers apart, and if there is any black substance in them 1t is carbon, and they can be burned over again. .
 White chunks generally contain a large amount of carbon, though their covering might be soft and have the appearance of ashes. Do not throw them away.
 Coal thus recovered should be spread on the ground and sprinkled with water. This will open the seams in the coal, and when 1t Is placed in the heater the fire will reach and ig- nite the unused carbon.
 It is better not to mix the coal thus reclaimed with fresh coal. Keep 1t in separate pile.
 Reclaimed coal should generally be used on a red hot fire, although 1t can also be used in banking fire at night -U. $. Fuel Administration.

LEGH0RNS PRODUCE
CHEAPEST EGGS

Leghorns produce eggs cheaper
than hens of the general purpose
breeds-Plymouth Rocks. Wyandottes.
Rhode Island Reds, and Orpingtons.
This fact. which confirms the belief
and experience Of commercial poultry
farmers. was one Of the results OBJ
tanned i'm a rather extensive feeding
test recently reported by pOultrymen
Of the department Of agriculture. Be
cause they lay as many or more eggs
eat only about 50 pounds OF feed per
head as compared with 30 TO 50
pounds eaten by the genernl-purpose
breeds. and because their egg yield
very materially exceeds that Of gen
eral-purpose breeds during their sec
ond and third laying years. Leghorns
undoubtedly are more profitable 10
keep for the production Of eggs only.
The Leghorns produce slightly
smaller eggs than the general-purpose
breeds and the value per dozen Of
their eggs was from i 10 cents less
each year than the eggs OF general
purpose hens. This difference is due
to the fact that the general-purpOse
breeds are better winter layers than
the Leghorns. while the latter give a
higher production in the spring and
summer.
