Consequently it should be easy to see that ’here is ahead of us all a most critical winter period. | Every person should save all the coal they can all the time. Don’t waste a pound. Sonfe how or other, we will all get through it but it will i take some planning ami some thinking and some real doing. It may be hard to give up the conveniences you are used to but if doing so will save a life, you certainly ought to do it gladly. It takes some patience we know to work out of trouble.
