Red hot coal should not be smothered with fresh coal, as the gases would be given off so rapidly they would not be prop erly burned. If possible, the vola tile matter from fresh coal shouid pass over' the glowing coal. Thus reads a portion of the second edition of Fuel Facts, a book of in formation for consumers and savers of fuel, just issued by the United States Fuel Administra'iion, a copy of which has been received by Fuel Administrator Fred J. Holmes. In fire-box boilers push the live coal to the back part of the furnace, and then fill up the 'front part of the grate with fresh coal. Ignition then takes place gradually from the bac'f toward the front, the fire spreading over the top of the coal and con suming the volatile matter, and re ducing or preventing the formation of soot and smoke. When the vola tile matter has been distilled from this fresh charge, it should be pushed back and more fresh coal added in front. A fire-box which permits alternate feeding of coal at both ends will greatly reduce the amount of soot formed. A level, even fire should be kepi at all times, and holes should not be allowed to form in the fuel bed. The fire should not be raked or stirred excessively, and the poker should be used only when necessary to break clinkers or any coke that may have formed. Anthracite coal has been barred temporarily from Z1 New England towns where it has been found that bituminous, coke and wood could be substituted. The Fuel Administration asks the head of each household to care for his heater himself this winter to get from every ton of coal every unit of heat it can supply. tile WPAt uar ailrt it u-Ml ha M have been in military service are 1 maU( r , ,utiee t0 the men M we as a pleasure to their relatives and Mends to have their names and records appear. vaiucd by the rgi -:ur H.

With the exception of the Ukraine only those countries which have maintained marine commerce have sufficient food supplies to meet actual needs until next harvest, and even In the Ukraine, with stores accu mulated on the farms, there Is famine In the large centers of population. Belgium and northern France, as well as Serbln, appear on the hunger map. distinct from the rest of Europe because they stand In a different rela tion from the other nations to the peo ple of the United States. America has for four years maintained the small war rations of Belgium and northern Prance and Is already making special efforts to care for their Increased after-the-war needs, which, with those of Serbia, must be Included in this plan, are urgent In the extreme and must have Immediate relief. ? The gratitude of the Belgian nation for the help America has extended to her during the war constitutes the strongest appeal for us to continue our work there. The moment the German armies withdrew from her soil and site was established once more in ber own sent of government the little nation's first thought was to express her grati tude to the Commission for Itellef In Belgium for preserving the lives of millions of her citizens. Germany, on the other hnml, need not figure In such a map for Ameri cans because there Is no present Indi cation that we shall be called on at all to take thought for the food needs of Germany. Germany probably can care for her own food problem If she Is given access to shipping mid Is enabled to distribute food to the cities with dense populations, which are the trou ble centers. England, France, the Netherlands and Portugal, all of which have been maintained from American supplies, hnve sufllelcnt food to .meet Immediate needs, but their fututre presents seri ous dllliculties. The same Is true of Spain and the northern neutral coun triesNorway, Sweden and Denmark whose ports have been open and who have been able to draw to some degree upon foreign supplies, Most of Russia Is already In the throes of famine, and 40,000,000 people there are beyond the possibility of help. Before another spring thou sands of them Inevitably must die. This applies ns well to Poland and practically throughout the Baltic re gions, with conditions most serious In Klnlnnd. T Bohemia, Serbia, Rounmnla and Montenegro have already reached the famine point and are suffering a heavy toll of death. The Armenian popula tion is falling each week ns hunger takes its toll, and In Greece, Albania aud Komminla s-. serious are the food shortages that fntu.'ne Is near. Al though starvation Is not yet Imminent, Italy, Switzerland, Bulgaria and Tur key are in the throes of serious strin gencies. In order to fulfil! America's pledge In world relief we will have to export every ton of food which cm be han dled through our ports. This menus at the very least a minimum of JO.OOO.OTO tons compared with (UH,0(K) tons pre war exports and 11,81:0,000 tuns ex ported lust year, when we were hound by the ties of war to the European allies. i If we fall to lighten the black spots on the hunger map or if we ullow any i portions to become darker the very peace for which we fought and bled will be threatened. Itevolt and anarchy inevitably follow famine. Should this happen we will see in other parts of Europe a repetition of the Ittisslun de bacle and our tight for world peace will huve been In vain.
