THURSDAY, DECEMBER 26 1918
The "great "war "Tias "made it elenr
that everybody counts. In time of
peace it often seems that many of
as are scarcely needed. V?o can drop
out and tho world goes on well with
out ns. Somo of us can loaf contin
uously, and others can work spasmod
ically, and others still can dawdle nt
their work, and no catastrophe seems
to follow. But In time of war It Is
made evident to all tho world that
everyone Is needed and that no one of
us can be spared. War to be suc
cessfully carried on demands the full
"measure of devotion and the energy of
every one of us. Each one must do
bis bit and do it with vigor and effi
ciency. Let us not forget Oils when
the war Is over. The highest Inter
ests of mankind cannot be secured
without the forth-putting of tho
strength of each and every one. The
reason why tho world gets so shabby
in time of peace Is because there are
60 many slackers. Things begin to
brighten and to hum in war-time be
cause so many of the sluggards are
aroused and' so many of the shirks
cease their shlrlfing and go to work.-
It is nerve, not "nerves," we want
In these trying times. And nerve Is
precisely the thing' which the women
of England and France and our own
splendid women of America are every
day demonstrating that they possess
in strength to meet all emergencies.
But of course wo knew that long ago.
When it comes to a real nerve test It
needed no war to teach us that there
is a steely fiber to the nerve of wom
ankind which men can never match.
And that holds good in all ordeals,
from the dentist's chair to a hospi
tal ward.
( TUB family Bible has suddenly come
Into its own again as a means of es
tablishing birth dates. It was once
the great repository of such records,
find there seem to be good reasons for
Its return to uso for that purpo?. At
Jleast it is a finable thing to 'have
nowadays in times of draft raids and
slacker round-ups.
Two-million packages of chewing
gum have been ordered for the use
of tho army on long inarches. Here
Is where the matinee girl can cheer
fully endure privation for the sake
of her country In helping nlong the
gum's conservation. Incidentally, she
'can present an improved front to so
'clety at large.
1 In Our good American exuberance
over what our great lads are doing,
let's not forget the Russians who went
into battle with only clubs and tho
Italians who fought with only pen
knives. (We're a wonderful people
and glorious flghteVs, but we have no
corner on the courage market
Washington gives us official figures
Showing the percentage pf increase In
food prices, but such things as that
don't Interest us any more. Not until
some figures showing a decrease are
'dug; np can we be expected to take
much' notice.
The statistician now finds pleasant
employment In calculating the enor
mous amount of gasoline that can be
diverted to war use3 by tho simple ex
periment of shutting off joy-riding for
one day a week.
One wonders what the generals do
On the days when their malls are de
layed, and they have no chanco to read
what the war experts advise them to
do next
Hoover says food consumption was
reduced 7 per cent in 1017. If that
was all, then even tho wasto wasn't
stopped.
It must have been Adam who discov
ered that It was much more pleasant
to talk than to hoe the crops.
I One German military expert is now
poldlng np the retreat' as a strategic
telece meriting admiration. In
, the numbers and volubility of
the explanations of defeat show tho
kletperation of the German high com
vmand In such wild and futile at
tempts to bolster np the spirit of
19 people. They are fast getting to
ae point of proving that the nearer
enemy gets to Berlin, the moroi

PRIORITY ORDER
FOR NATURAL GAS
tatrnment Assumes GoRtrti of
Vanishing Sttpply,
TO CONSERVE FOR HOME USE
(Failing Pools In OMa and Weat Vir
ginia, With Doublad Coat of Secur
ing Supply, Demand Limit of tta
Use.
Washington, Doc. 28. Tho United
States Fuel Administration's Publica
tion No. 28, for the control of tha
use of the failing supply of natural
gas, indicates the order in which
the several kinds of users aro to t.
deprived of it as the obtainable quan
tity lessens.
The preferred classes are:
"Class 1. This class includes do
mestic service, which is defined as
including the reasonable use of nat
ural gas where now used for beat
ing, lighting, and cooking in private
homes, boarding houses, apartment
houses, hospitals, and other charit
able Institutions; and the use of nat
ural gas where now used for lighting
and cooking only in hotels, restaur
ants, bakorfos, and eating places, and
for heating in hotels where 'separata
rooms are dependent upon natural
gas for use in grates and stoves. This
class also Included gas engine power
for the production and dlstrlbutlom
of natural gas and petroluem and its
products and in the operation of gas
engines for the production of coal.
"Class 2. The use of natural gaa
in gas enginos where other power
can not be used, and for iraa eneinaa
ifor generating electric current for
street cars and domestic service, the
iheating and lighting of business of
fices and stores where other means
ifor the production ot heat and light
con not reasonably be substituted.
"Class 3. The use of natural gas
where now used for heating bnlld
'lnga not included in Claacee land 2;
also all other classos of eas enxlne
; power, including the generating of
electric current for industrial pur
poses to plants engaged, to manufac
turing munitions and other essential
war articles under Government or
ders to the extent that current to
'needed in the manufacture of buod,
order.
1 "Class 4. Tho use of natural gas
for the production of food products,
and industrial consumers engaged in
manufacturing munitions and other
essential war articles to tho extent
that sold natural gas is needed in
the manufacture of such essential
wax articles under Government or
ders, and for the generating of steam
power for public utilities. '
"Class 6. The use of natural gas
ifor all other purposes."
EtPltomized In reverse order the
government directs that as the supply
'decreases the natural gas companies
(must shut off public service compa
nies using gas under boilers and all
factories having government orders.
Then) if there be not gas enough
to supply each of the first three
classes, large buildings shall dlscon
itinne its use.
When further reduction is neces
sary, in order that families may have
gas, coal must be substituted for gas
engines to create power for traction,
light and heat wherever possible.
In this priority order of the United
States Fuel Administration was used
the classification previously made by
the Utilities Commission of Ohio,
which is a flattering acknowledge
ment of the wisdom of that body
from a distinguished source.
The armistice has in no wise
changed the gas situation.
COMPARING COST
OF GOAL AND GAS
IRefennce to Suffertofs Buck
eyes May Bear This Winter.
Columbus, Deo. 28. The official
publication ot Union Labor, the
'Trades Record, gives, editorially the
comparative costs of. coal and gas la
e city as follows:
"Prior to the present winter, nat
ural gas has been regarded by the
people of Columbus, and no doubt of
1 other cities, as a great convenience,
but by no means a necessity.
"Many were willing to pay 50 per
Ictnt to 80 per cent more for it than
I coal would have cost because it was
iso much cleaner and because the
I saving of time often more than offset
I the slightly higher coet of fuel.
"This year thousands do, and- tens
of thousands should, realise that if it
had not been for the excellent supply
of natural gas the people ot this oity
would have suffered intensely this
winter."
"Not only have the gaa companies
saved the people from froozlag, but
I they havo furnished the heat at lower
Urates than heat from coal would have
cost at the current prices of coal, if
the necessary amount ot coal cou'd
have been had, which it could not be.
"Furnace manufacturers say that at
a net rate of 30 centa gas for furmacet
easts as much as coal at f B a ton.

M'ADOO SAYS REDEEM PLEDGES
Treasury Secretary 8hows Necessity
of Continuing W. 8. S. Purchases.
Columbus, O. (Special.) Assert
ing that this Is not the time to "re
lax our efforts," Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo In a personal tele
gram to H. P. Wolfe, Ohio War Sav
ings director, "most urgently urge
that your organization make, every
possible effort to the end thatpledges
for the , purchase of War Savings
Stamps be fulfilled before the close
of the year."
Importance ot such pressure la
pointed out by Secretary McAdoo,
whose telegram states that "the gov
ernment's monetary requirements
were never 'greater nor more pressing
than they are today. Expenditures
for November were greater than any
similar period.
The telegraphic appeal continues:
"These expenditures growing out
of the war muBt be met by borrow
ing from the people, and their mag
nificent response heretofore to the
government's requirements makes me
confident that they will not fail to
continue heir support to the end that
all payments resulting from war ne,
cesslties will be promptly met. Much
remains to be done. Our brave troops
must be maintained and paid until
their work is fully accomplished and
they are returned to their homes,
"This is not a time for us to relax
our efforts, and the treasury depart
ment is making plans for larger and
even more important work during the
coming year. Please make every ef
fort to urge upon the people in your
district the continued holding of

their War Savings Certificates, the

GERMAN PROPAGANDA
STILL RIPE IN U. S.
What may well bo taken as
warning notice to American news
paper makers was issued by
GeoVge Creel, chairman of the
committee on public information,
at a dinner of the American Slavic
conference. Mr. Creel said that
never at any time since the out
break oEthe European war lias
German propaganda been busier
in the United States than it is at
the present moment. The German
propagandists, women as well as
men, he added, are working over
time in an effort to create for
themselves an undeserved sym
pathy inAmerica. Ho referred to
the message trr Mrs. AVilson a few
days ago as an example of the
kind of propaganda the wireless
from Nancn is now Hashing across
the Atlantic into the United
States.
"Even tho women of Germany
havo joined in the "propaganda
which is set in motion for our ben
efit," said Mr. Creel, "and these
women, who never grieved for a
single moment when the Lusitani'a
with her innocent men, women
and children was torpedoed, who
never lifted their voice in, protest
when the babies of Belgium were
slaughtered at the brcasts'of their
mothers, who had no wordof pity
for poor, outraged Serbia, or the
horribly mistreated people of
northern France, arc now flashing
ineir cry to .america ior syrapamy
and for help, while the male
propagandists aie holding out
their hands dripping with blood
and begging for mercy.
"Think of it, a nation protest
ing against an armistice the pur
pose of which is to keep them
from fighting, and protesting at a
time when their pockets are full of
stolen property. The damnable
cant of Germany is trying to
poison the mind of the world at
this late day."
GOOD ftOMES WANTED
FOR HOMELESS CHILDREN.
The Children's Welfare Department
of the Ohio Board of State Charities is
asking the people of Ohio to help in the
gigantic task of eliminating tragedy
from the lives of some of the depend-
ent'children of the state.
The tragedy in the life of 9-year-old
ululCi.c wlBi, iu uus u kium eye aim,
consequently no foster home will open
its doors to him. He is an intelligent
boy and normal in every other respect.
Institutions and boarding homes have
been his lot. A real home or anything
resembling parental love is an un
known quantity to Clarence. Some
where in Ohio there must exist a fam
ily with sufficient vision to realize that
a glass eye does, not make a boy less
human.
Then there is Esther. She is 14.
Before she became a ward of the Board
of State Charities one limb had been
amputated. And the awful thing about
that operation is that it was unneces
sary. One of the best physicians in
Columbus refers to it as a stupendous
crime. Children come to the boarding
.home Where Esther lives and in a few
weeks they leave for foster homes. She
bids them a cheery farewell and then
voices the only lament to which she
ever gives expression, "O,, if I could
only go to a home." Esther has the
beauty of face and soul so often-found
in those who are physically 'Handi
capped. If she were not so intelligent
and so patient tho tragedy of it all
would be less harrowing. It seems like,
wishingfor the moon, but the Welfare
Department nevertheless does wish
that Esther's longing for a home can
be satisfied.
There aro little girls who have been
placed out and later returned because
foster mothers have developed nerves
or have discovered that a child in the
house makes too much work. There
are boys from (J to 14 whom nobody
wants. There are older girls who need
mothering more than the babies that
tho whole world loves. .
It is impossible to touch" even the
high spots in the tragedies which make
un the fabric of the lives of many de
pendent children. But through the
Children' Welfare Department of tne
Board of State Charities. Columbus,
the state is making an effort to ring
tlo curtain down on tragedy, in a sot
ting of normal family life these chil
dren will forcet their previous roles.
Upon all the children of tho nation
will rest the responsibility of carrying
wha we hae won iEurope. To
make every child fit for this task is the
Muty, of society. Ohio is asking you
WHO aro uiiuuieoo w jjuixuiiii yuur juii
of this duty ana to provide tne new
setting which will blot the tragic past

WOMEN IN INDUSTRY. I
With thousands upon thousands of
women working in th6 ammunition
plants, the mills and factories and
shops and everywhere, during war
times, it is only nntural to ask "will
they want to continue when the men
come home?" And It Is also natural
enough to ,ask whether or not they
are getting the same pay as was ac
corded the men whose places they
took. The answers to both ruestIons
are easy the women will, as a rule,
be glad to lenve thisunusual and
often strenuous work, when the men
come home and while they are work
ing now, the majority for patriotic
motives, they are content to accept
lower wages than the men receive or
did receive, says Florida Times
Union. It Is not likely that the gov
ernment will go into tho wage mat
tci much further than It has to date,
and the employers have many rea-
sons to give for not making the wages
equal. The proposition is looked upon
f.nm t,tt, ot,i, im j
fm both sldes as temporary, and
-America will be glad when things can
return to normal and men will be
ready for man's work and well pleased

Few Escape.
There are few indeed who escape
having at least one cold durng the
winter months, and they are fortunate
who i havo but one and get through
with it quickly and without any .serious
consequences. Take Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy and observe the direc
tions with each bottle, and you arc
likely to be one of the fortunate ones.
The worth and merit of this remedy
has been fully proven. 'There ore
many families who have always used
it for years when troubled with a
cough or cold, and with the -very best
results.
