PLANS OF I HE FIEL
AD.MLN1STK YTIOX
Dr. Uari'ield's ordering manufacti
iug plants, otuer than those produc
ing food, to close for a period of
five days aud hereafter to remain
closed evrey Monday aud every hol
iday ^ meeting with a violent storm
of disapproval. His order is dras
tic in the extreme, l>ut coal is
needed to produce the sinews of
war and the tud in time may be
found to have justified the means.
Despite all that buiuo interests
could do, the order took effect last
A
The fuel administration had been
looking to governmental control 01
railroads for immediate iminove
ment in the movement of coal.
For bome time it has been know n
that l>r. Garfield held the view that
such action an the part of the gov
ernment would become necessary he
fore the country's coal problems
could approach a satisfactory (sol
ution.
Suiting himself to this new order
of things, Dr. Garfield has planned
aaid will put into effect at once
two new aud important orders, one
repecting the distribution of coal
by a system cf deputy distributors,
and one regulating the making of
contracts by operators, producers,
jobbers , and letailers of coal and
coke.
Under this latter oriler an con
tacts must be subject to approval by
tw<> Fuel Administration. Contracts
may not run longer than one year
aji<j such period of one year shall
termicate at a date not more than
18 mouths from the date of actual
execution of contract. All contracts
for coal and coke shall be at a price
not 'o exceed the Government price
at the mines at the date of shipmen
Xhe Administrator may forthwith
cancel any coatract and neither par
tt tiered cor the Government shall
have an£ further liability because
of 6Uch cancellation. Xo contract
may be made, or will be recoguized
as valid, yhich. involve^ railroad
crosshauling cf coal, except in case
ot g&9 or by-product coal. Oral
contracts are not permited.
Witt the Government's coutrol of
transportation end the working out
of the new orders respecting con
tracts and distribution, the Fuel Ad
ministration will be able to devote
it9 attention to the task of seeing
that all essentia] industries are pro
vided with, fuel and that by volun
tary arrangements with less esen
t*«l industries coal requirements will
bo curtailed.
S»eciai at ten1 ion wil be given to
enlarging production and suppress
ing needless consumption, so that
the supply and the demand may be
brought closer to their natural meet

fl ROAD TO HEALTH
Eat Less and Walk More if You
Are Losing All Your Vim.
JUST GIVE NATURE A CHANCE.
That Wonderful Old Doctor It Always
Ready and Willing to Be Your Friend
and Will Produce Magical Raaulta If
Hit Law* Are Obeyed.
A man on the shady side of forty
thought ho was going into a decline.
He went to his physician, submitted to
a thorough examination and waited the
word which wus to consign him to the
scrap heap.
This is what the doctor, who happen
ed to t>e a modern physician, told him
two or three days later:
"You eat too much, drink too much,
sit around too much and walic too lit
tle. 1 am going to put you on a rigid
diet, and I want you to walk—wali—
walk."
The man who thought he was going
Into a decline demurred «t the doctor"*
suggestion of a rigid diet. The diet
prescribed consisted of milk—only milk
—and the man who saw visions of the
scrap heap loved his "Tittles," but he
decided to follow the doctor's orders.
He stuck lo the rigid diet.
And he made it a practice to walk
two miles to the office every morning,
rain or shine. The case with which he
acquired a scorn for the street car after
a week or two astonished him.
At the end of a week of dieting and
walking, this man began to look upon
life with different eyes. His work,
which had been u burden, began to as
sume an attractive glow. At the end of
two weeks, with a modified but still
skimpy diet, and more walking, he be
gan to catch himself in the act of run
ning lip the stairs instead of dragging
himself up by main force. At the end
of four weeks of this treatment, with
out taking a drop of medicine or a sin
gle pill, he felt a* if ten years had rolled
off his shoulders.
The average New York man who
works at desk eats too much if he does
not drink too much. He sits around
too much and w^lUs altogether too lit
tle. And what is true of the average
New Yorker is true of the average
American. Too much food, too much
drink and too much sitting around are
the unholy trinity of our national de
bilitation. We are becoiniug physically
flabby and mentally drowsy. We are
beginning to nod iu the armchair.
Overindulgence has done it—that sys
tem of self pampering which Pr. John
II. Quale of Cleveland calls "twentieth
century habits."
Most of those "twentieth century hab
its" have to do with the stomach. In
some languages a piece of basic philoso
phy has been crystallized, like a fly In
amber. In the homely phrase, "I have
the heartache." when stomach ache Is
meant. That phrase is an unconscious
recognition of the fact that the stomach
is the center of the human system.
The Importance of the stomach has
been recognized by the earliest law
givers and thinkers of the humau race.
The dietary regulations of the law of
Moses were a farsighted attempt to
make the food of a historic nation con
form to the laws of uature. Legislat
ing for peoples living under condi
tions similar to those under which the
I Jews lived. Mohammed, another of the
I world's great lawgivers, embodied In
| the Koran a good deal that he fouud
in the Talmud on the subject of eating
and drinking.
I Moses put the children of Israel on
! a diet. Mohammed put the Arabs on
| a diet.

for awhile.
Nature is the greatest of all physi
cians. Give nature a chauce. Don't
overload your stoiuach with too much
food. Don't overwork your liver and
your kidneys by too much drink, aud
sometimes very little drink is too much.
Nature is the watchniau sitting at
the gate. Nature is ready to be up
and af the enemy of your life at the
first sign of danger. Dou't bind and
gag the watchman. Give hiui a chance
for his life and yonrs.
Eat less. Walk more. The results
will astonish you.—New York Mall.
Spraad the Meat Flavor.
Cold ham. chicken or other meat left
over In quantities too small for use
alone may be usl>u advantageously by
mixture with other foods. Here is a
recipe for one way to use such meat.
Chop the meat line and season It
well. Mix in enotiuh butter or other
fat to make it ' shape ' well. Form iuto
rolls about the size of a finger and
wrap around each a thai piece of short
dough made from a pint of tlour, two
tablespoonfuls of bal::::g powder, salt
and milk enough fo nix Bake the rolls
fu a hot oven until they are a delicate
brown. Serve hot.- New York World.
Feminine Ability.
Whoever it was that remarked wo- I
man Is a mystery certainly remarked i
a heaping teaspoonful. We doubt If j
she herself can explain how It la she
can always get something else In a suit
case after it is so full It won't hold
anything else.—Macon Telegraph.

"I have Just been readlu'," quoth I
Hamlet 1'att, "some siartliu' statistics ,
about the earth's capacity."
"Why need you worry about the |
earth's capacity?" responded Yorick
Hamm. "You'll never play to It"—
