SUPPLY OF COAL FOR ONLY FIVE DAYSM STATE Usual Reserve at This Time . of Year Would Last for 25 Days. 1 INDIANAPOLIS. Dec. ; 12. Reliable estimates furnished the Indiana fuel administration, ebow a supply of dom- '. e-stlc coal," on hand in Indiana, equal ' to approximately the demand for five days. Coal experts say that in normal years at ,tbi time there is a supply on '.. band equal to the domestic demand for it least 25 days. ' - This comparison indicates on what a email margin the coal requirements of the state are being met at this time and it is certain that as the winter weather bangs on, the margin will lessen. . .-Tee coal administration for Indiana, from the first, has taken the position that its principal task is to see that , the borne and household needs for 4 fuel are met and that no one is permitted to be told. This task take3 precedent over furnishing coal for factories, unless the latter are engaged on war contracts of vital importance to the country's military program. . The requests for relief coal now being received in the state office are being carefully scrutinized to see . that no factory coal is included in tbe , orders placed with tbe fuel adminis1 t ration.' i- Factories throughout the state, en'j gaged in business not essential to the ' war or to t"he usual channels, as it is impossible at this time to handle their , needs as emergency coal. The big . question from now on to tbe end of the winter is to keep tbe homes in Inv,. diana warm. r John S. Souder, of Greenfield, has been appointed fuel administrator for Hancock county to take tbe place of , Charles Downing, who recently resigned on account of ill health. Tbe . place made vacant in Ohio county by tbe resignation of Virgil McKnigbt, . has been filled by the appointment of Scott Thompson, of Rising Sun. The Indiana fuel administration should be in mighty good with the school children. Mr. Evans Woollen. . the fuel administrator, has addressed a letter to Horace Ellis, the state superintendent of public instruction, suggesting that it might be wise to extend tbe Christmas holidays to three i weeks In the interest of coal conservatlon. Mr. Woollen a6ks Mr. Ellis opinion of the wisdom of acting along . thio line. It is estimated that if a '.week were added to tbe holidays in December and January and this week was made up at tbe end of the year in June, when the weather is less severe, approximately 10,000 tons of coal ' could be saved. - If Mr. Ellis finds it is practical to act along this line, the extra week of ; vacation will apply, probably, only to tbe schools in tbe larger cities.- The rural school term, it is believed, should not be lengthened, since most of the rnral school students axe needed for the early spring work on the . farms. During the present cold weather there has been received in the office of the state fuel administration, 'requests for relief coal from communities where it is certain that wood could be substituted for emergency use. This has led the .fuel admlnls- : tratlon to make another urgent appeal to the farmers of the state to use wood as fuel. There is not enough coal to go . 'round in Indiana. In several counties the farmers have returned to burning

Drive the Liquor Habit From Your Home CAN BE DOXE SECRETLY

Xew York -Physicians and drug-gists unhesitatingly recommend Tscum po-vders for the liquor habit 1q apv form. They quickly destroy the craving and make whisky and other aleo halic beverayes repugnant prugglsts -'111 tell you Tascuni is selling better than anv other remedy for the liquor habit. There is a reason for this. It !s. because It gives better satisfaction. , One physician says: "I can stand in the floor of my home and throw a stone In- . o a neighbor's yard to whom I gave Tescum powdrs for dr-inkenness and ,ha was completely cured. Have also cured a Hrfe number of other pa- , MtMits." A druggist reports: "Tescum hvng an enormous rale. It artves (xcelleat satisfaction." A lady recently wrote: "I have used Tescum on my husband secretly and he has not taken a. drink in. three months." ' Another lady fay: "I only wish I had known of Tscum before." H?ri is another who has tried Jt: "After taking two boxes ' if Tescum I did not crave liquor." Art' ( other writes: "I don't think it's expensive nt all Just think of the thousands of dol'p.vs he h3 spent for whisky. The few dollars I rpen for Tescum "tias fcenn wrth thousands." Here is an extract troni another' letter: "I sent a box of Tescum to mv frlend.'Mrs. C. M... for -her to try on her husband. Hope. - she will be as successful a I have been.' for it's wonderful. I will never tell my husband what cured hlrh." And so on It goes, on enthusiastic report ofter another If ' you have a relative or friend who drinks. Just try It for a few weeks and note the marvelous change. - They will soon coropls4n that drink does not taste the same, and in a sttort time they will stop altogether and never know the reason why. Note A leading druggist when shown the above article said: "Tes. Tescum is a very remarkable remedy ', for the drink habit It is harmless, wonderfully effective and Is having- an enormous sale. I advise everyone who wishes to destroy the liquor habit to "Rive it a trial." You take no risk with Tescum as it is sold in this city under

Snowy Crust Hampers Wwk ofA Men Who ti

HAWfAX. N S.. Dec. l?.-rTbe snowstorm which hampered tbe relief workers yesterday was ' of abort duration and last night was clear and cold. As the 6now wbjch fell was near enough to rain to be well saturated, a hard crust had formed today, further interfering with the traffic problems and with the work of clearing away the rums of wrecked buildings. All activities, however, are now on a systematic basis and Halifax men joined -with men from other parts of Canada and tbe United Stages in seeking to restore more normal conditions. Tbe refusal to admit curiosity seekers already has resulted in a noticeable lessening of the congestion which was threatening serious impediment. Hundreds of men were cusy today

wood to such an extent as has eliminated their demands for relief coal altogether. ' v This action is more than an economic measure whereby the farmer saves some money. It is patriotic action, because each ton of coal a fanner releases by burning woo for fuel, takes care of a family that needs coal and might, under other circumstances, be forced to do without. It is very probable that tbe colder it gets the louder will be the appeal from the fuel administration to the farmers to burn wood.'

THOUGHTS TO THINK ABOUT Conscience, when listened to, makes men feel risht; when concurring in the conventional, it makes them look right to others. Devotion to duty doesn't delight the develop, but it does develop the divine in man. Education educates when it draws out the fullest wisdom and when it expands the heart of love to take in the whole world.

Vanity is a leaky vessel from which all wisdom has vanished; it vaunts its own values and belittles, tbe best in others. The chair, the trunk, the gun that cease to be useful to you should be sold forthwith to someone who need3 them. Do not let them lie around in your way. Sell or exchange them tho Want Ad Way.
