The United States Food Administration Says: There is no royal road to food conservation. We can only accomplish this by the voluntary action of our whole people, each element in proportion to its means. It is a matter of equality of burden ; a matter of minute saving and substitution at every point in the 20,000,000 kitchens, on the 20,000,000 dinner tables, and in the 2,000,000 manufacturing, wholesale, and retail establishments of the country.
Food saving is in its essence the daily individual service of all the people. Every group can substitute, and even the great majority of thrifty people can save a little and the more luxurious elements of the population can, by reduction to simple living, save much. This means no more than that we should eat plenty, but wisely and without waste.
well. This quantity leaves us 2,000,000 tons shy nothing of our needs in this abnormal year when war industries are demanding twice as much coal as usual and when railroads are burning more coal than ever before. It looks as if we are going to be about 2,000,000 tons short of coal this winter in Indiana. But we have beenwasting each year 2,000,000 tons. What are (we going to do about it? If we con
tinue to waste as in other years, in order to keep our homes wastefully heated, many industries
not essential to the war and hot engaged in producing necessities of life, must close down. If we quit wasting coal we may be able to save
enough to keep the vast majority of our indus
tries running.
What shall be done about it is up to the fellow
who puts the coal in the furnace.
Watch Your Furnace The United States Fuel Administrator for Indiana: One-fifth of the coal consumption in in
dustrial and domestic use, in the United States is
a total waste. Twenty percent of the coal burned j in Indiana goes up in smoke without rendering service. This means that Indiana's annual fuel waste is approximately 2,000,000 tons. At, present prices this means we are spending about $10,000,000 for our carelessness and ignorance. Investigation by United States officials and, more recently, by the University of Illinois, leaves no room for doubt but that 99 out of every 100 households in the country, wastes one-fifth of the fuel bought. The man who, last winter, used ten tons of coal in his furnace, could have, obtained the same, if not better results, on eight tons of coal, if he had given his furnace better and more intelligent attention. Most persons believe that firing a furnace is merely a matter of heaping in the coal, and, when the ash chamber will hold no more, carrying out the ashes. They never think of screening ashes to recover coke rich in heat units nor has it occurred to them that it is worth while to keep the ash chamber cleaned out each day in order that there shall be a uniform and un- ; obstructed draft to the fire box of the furnace, giving efficient combustion. A crack in the casing of the ash chamber of the boiler setting, a door that does not fit snugly to the fire box, are, for most persons, things so trivial as to deserve no attention, and yet each is costing the man who pays the fuel bill real, hard money. Just one dollar out of every five spent for coal, is spent because these trivial defects receive no attention. Another fuel loss is bound to result where persons fail to keep boiler flues and hot air pipes clean. Soot is one of the best non-conductors of heat known. Where a hot water or steam plant is used, if soot and dust is permitted to accumu
late on the fluesj and if the water side of the flues are permitted to become coated, the requirements for heat necessary to keep the water at the right temperature, is vastly increased and, as a result, more coal is shoveled into the fire box. As a rule, if you would get the maximum heat from your furnace or steam plant, it should not be heavily fired. That is coal should not be thrown in in heaps. A thin, uniform bed of fire, gives more complete combustion and more heat than where the fire bed is thicker and much of the combustible gases escape out the flue without being burned. The fellow who really wishes to save money can do a job worth while right at the door of his furnace. He really can save one dollar of every five he has been spending for coal. But the Indiana coal situation is more than a money saving question. In round numbers Indiana has been using 6,000,000 tons of Indiana coal each year and 9,000,000 tons shipped in from other states. Indiana has been shipping out to other states less than 5,000,000 tons. In other words if we use all the available coal mined in Indiana for Indiana use, we shall still be short about 4,000,000 tons of our normal need. Indiana is now receiving very little coal from other states. There is no reason to expect that we shall receive from other states anything like the normal supply. If we get 2,000,000 tons of foreign coal in Indiana we shall be doing very
The New Crusade
"Today a growing interest in religion is evi
dent aU over the world," according to a recent editorial by William Allen White, in the Emporia,
Kan., Gazette. 'Three years ago, when the present world war had been in progress but a few months and many people had been discussing the real causes of the war, an Emporia business man who reads outside of business hours and thinks
much of what he reads, said: T believe this war
has been brought about by a neglected Jesus
Christ.' " . '
"Men are stopping to think, even in the midst of turmoil, and a great change is evident in the
ordinary man's conception of religion. Some of
it is constructive thinking that does not sub

this world has ever known.
"Evidences of this thinking are frequent. The

with this war.

They were sitting on the sands, side by side, looking over the ocean, "How peaceful it looks!" "Yes," she said, "but how very wet!" . "True," he observed, "and yet how calm and restful it appears. With you by my side I could sail on forever." "Yes?" she queried. "Yes," he affirmed, "forever. Will you, dearest?" "On one conditions," she replied. "I am a cautious girl, and do not wish to be over-hasty. But I will let you make the test, and when the test is made and you say it is successful I will go with you." "And the test, love?" he cried. "You take a boat and sail on forever, and after you have sailed on forever tell me how it works," she answered.

A Cubic Inch of Meat
From United States Food Administration
NE year a country of rich lands, plenty of food and
a contented people. The next a desolate waste with starvation rising from it. That is Belgium,
part of France, and thousands of miles of other country our allies' country. Since the war began, 33,000,000 meat animals of our aUies have been slaughtered because there was no feed for them in the war-torn fields. Neither are there men to grow feed on the lands that have not been ruined. The men are waging war. The allies look to America for help. They must have meat in ever-increasing quantities. The men who are fighting for you and me MUST have meat and lots of itFighting is the hardest work in the world. We are going to send them that meat," you and I, by the million of us. All we've got to do is to eat ONE OUNCE less 1 cubic inch less of meat a day. This, multiplied by 100,000,000, will make good the need. We'll eat beef, mutton and pork, but not so often. If we eat any one of these kinds of meat only once a day, and then not so much as we have been eating that will be the solution. Instead of our usual share of these, we'll eat more fish and poultry and perishable fruits and vegetables. Beans are a splendid meat substitute. Eat .more soup. It 13 nourishing and heat-giving. By using all left-over meat each of us at home is going to give two soldiers their meat rations without our ever noticing the sacrifice.

"How is Robert getting on at college?" asked the minister, who was being entertained at dinner. "Splendidly," said the proud father, who then went on to tell of his son's various social, athletic and scholastic successes, and the minister said it was a fine thing to be college bred. That evening little James, who had been an Interested listener, said: 'Tapa, what did Mr. Brown mean by college bred?" "Oh, that," said papa, who tad been looking over his son's bills, "is a four years' loaf."
