fuel Situation in Indiana i Graver Than Any Time This Year, Says Woollen. - INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Dec. 20. Factories engaged in the manufacture 'of non-essentials hare begun to feel ,the pinch of the coal shortage, and jwlth the Indiana coal mines and the .railroads giving perference to railroad and domestic fuel, it will not be Surprising if some factories are forced to close within the week. A week of zero weathed had so de--moralized transportation that on last fSaturdar Evans Woollen, the Federal Fuel Administrator for Indiana wired ''all mine owner in the state as follows: "During next week and until present grave crisis is met. please do not hesitate in giving rigorous preference to "needs of utilities and domestic con'Burners." ' Not only has the transportation sit.nation been very bad for more than a .-week, but for three days of last week all the larger coal mines in Indiana Swere closed down and at no time during the week were all of them run.

nlng at normal capacity. As a result, the Indiana situation is decidedly graver than it has been at any time this year, and it will take vigorous action on the part of the fuel administration, the mines and the railroads if public utilities are kept going and Indiana homes are kept warm, t There are two demands for coal, ;other than those of the utilities and .homes, which must be cared for promptly. These are the demands of the railroads, which must have fuel else the movement of freight stops, and the demands of the government for fuel to protect government work Incident to the military program. .After these public utilities and households are being cared for. Manifestly all the coal available for manufacturers is wha is left over after the .above demands are met, and right now there is practically no coal available .for factories in Indiana. The situation is improving rapidly 'and, unless another season of severe weather comes along, a week or. ten days should see a marked improvement in the state situation. "Llphtless Ntghta" Here. The "lightless night" has arrived. "The Federal Fuel Administrator for 'Indiana is sending to each country fuel 'administrator a copy of the order recently issued by the Washington office, which provides for two "lightless nights" each week, Sunday and Thursday. On these two nights electric signs, ornamental street lights, in fact, all electric lights except those essential to safety, must be turned off. The order is now in effect and its enforcement is in the hands of the county fuel administrators. ' The order has for its aim the conservation of coal and the Federal Fuel Administrator has the power to refuse coal to any concern which uses

it" to generate electricity for signs and j

ornamental lighting if they fail to comply with the order. Display lights in stores and theatres come under the order and, excepting those lights necessary for the protection of property and the public, must be turned off on Sunday and Thursday nights. Students Cut Wood. Evans Woollen. Federal Fuel Administrator for Indiana, has written a letter to the officials of the Interlaken School in Rolling Prairie, Ind., expressing his appreciation of the work of the students there who have gone in for wood cutting. There are twenty-five cabins at Interlaken and two boys occupy each

U. S. Santa Clans Must Provide Toys For Blind Kiddies

HALIFAX, N. S., Dec. 21. An American Santa Claus must provide toys for hundreds of blind and crippled children in hospitals here. The limited stQck carried by the local dealers has been exhausted. A committee of women to which was assigned the duty of bringing Christmas cheer to victims of the explosion and fire that laid bare the less populous section of Halifax, found today that unless shipments were received from the United States, within the next few days, plans for filling the stockings of destitute children could not be carried out. Today for the first time since .the disaster, crowds in the street were able to see evidences that the holiday season is approaching. But the toy shops were empty, as the stocks had been taken over by the women's committee for distribution Monday night. The supply is inadequate and it is for this reason , that Americans are asked to help immediately.

( Merchandise Sold Under a

Money Back Guarantee Must rossess Real Merit.

Money talks. The housewife should listen only to the claims of manufacturers who back their assertions with a money back guarantee. I have found in my years of Domestic Science work that manufacturers of meritorious products employ the money-back-if-not-satisfied policy of merchandising. Such manufacturers are deserving of housewives'patronage and usually get it. No matter how good a manufacturer may say his product is if he lacks courage to offer a refund of purchase price, if buyer is not satisfied he displays a lack of faith in his goods. In such instances the purchaser assumes all risk and there is always risk, when the maker of merchandise refuses to stand by his goods with a money back guarantee. . , To make this point clear consider the advertising ofa certain brand of baking powder. The producers of this baking powder abolish the uncertainty of buyers getting full money's worth as every can is sold under a clear cut guarantee of money-back-if-not-satisfied with bake day results. Their advertisements state that their product is superior they say that it is unfailing in results pure in the can and in the food and that it produces absolutely pure and wholesome bakings. Furthermore they assert that "You save when you buy it "and you save when you use it." The phrase is so familiar to the housewife, every one no doubt will recognize it as taken from a Calumet Baking Powder advertisement. But to get back to my subject the importance of those printed words lies in the fact that the Calumet Baking Powder Co. put the proof before the housewife with positive bake day results. They invite her to buy Calumet on a money back trial basis. They demonstrate dependability with bake day results. They show her actual savings in real money. I have tested Calumet Baking Powder. The tests I conducted were far more exacting than could be made by the housewife and those tests have proved the truth of the Calumet Baking Powder Co.'s contentions. No housewife can afford to refuse so liberal a proposition. All should give Calumet a trial and millions have done so. That it makes good its advertised promises is shown in the fact that housewives who put it to a test continue to use it. NOTE Miss CosteUo is already wtlt Jmoum to most of the ladies of our city.
