REEKS' SUCCESSOR. Dr. Henry F. Moore, who comes to ! this city to take up the burdens laid ‘aside by Dr. T. Eben Reeks, former head of the health dc ment, has his work cut and dried for him. The health departmyént was organized and set In working order by Dr. Reeks after much time, thought and careful labor. His successor must necessarily exert great strides in order to keep . up with the pace already set. Yet, from the newcomer's record, the city has every reason to expect and hope \ for the best. A young man, Dr. | Moore has had sufficient training and experience to warrant confidence. At all times he will have the kindly ad- [.vice of Dr. Reeks, who, while he has taken up larger cares for the state, | has not entirely severed his connec- . flons with New Britain, nor has he Jost his interest in municipal affairs here. This city, above many others in Connecticut, demands and must have o thoroughly efficlent health depart- ment. 8 / WHERE HOUSEKEEPERS LOSE. There is more than one person who up to this date saved coal by the simple expedient of using an oil stove M instead of lighting the furnace for {heating purposes. Possibly that, is one reason why the coal business has not been as lucrative as it might have been, as it formerly was. Many an oil stove has paid for itself six times pVer. Now that the cold days are really upon/us the oil stoves may not be as formidable as they have been up to this point. There will now have to be savige in some other direction. And this, as it applies to the heating prob- Jem, must come about by a better working knowledge of the stove. It fs claimed by dealers, stove dealers, that few persons know how to get the maximum utility out of furnaces and kindred heating apparatus. All fires are subject, more or less, | to draught. The regulation of the draft then is of prime importance. In a the gome cases more heat goes up chimney than remains in the house. Mhis 1s a needless waste of heat, a te of coal, a waste of money. And, was e last analysis, it simmered down to th 45 roally a waste of food. For we . nave the word of no less a personage than the Director of the United States Bureau of Mines that coal can he compared to foodstuffs in this way: A Shovelfu! of anthracite or hard coal 1s equal in cost to a pint of cream. The same amount of bituminous or soft © bread. every shovelful of bituminous heaved upon the big heating machines there 1s a loaf of bread denied our warrlors abroad, the average person may take this loss more to heart. In the same way the housewife who carelessly allows the draughts to re- main wide open, and thus burns more If it is remembered that for coal conl than is necessary, actually takes away milk from the babies,—either her own or those of the poor. Some of the trade journals coplous advice for the saving of coal by proper regulation of flues; that is, by checking of the draughts so the wind does not carry the best part of the heat up chimn Automatic dampers are minutely described. These work so that the wind, when it comes strong enough, closes the damper Iid the stove-pipe and thus momentarily prevents needless draught. To go into all these details would avail little. Yet this much ehould interest the average keeper; or, better yet, the man who foots the coal biJl. Go down to the jpearest msrchantlwho sells stoves and have house- oal is equal In cost to a loaf of | s advice on the matter. In the he has something to sell, some- which will effect a saving in coal, the cost of the article will soon be realized in cash money, money that need not be spent for a superabund- dance of coal. As the little oil stoves helped to save many tons of coal in the early part of this fall, se whatever appli- ances may be attached to chimneys for preventing undue draught will also do their bit reducing waste of good heat. The coal dealers who have uttered many warnings, event thing toward principally about thelr going out of business because of the low price of coal set by the government, are to be heard when they say the supply of coal is not as great as it might be. Not only that—the facilities for haul- ing coal from the mines to the con- sumers are over-taxed. While thers will probably be no coal famine, cvery ounce of coal that is saved will go a long w toward preventing a stringency of any sort. Patriotism now demands that noth- ing be wasted, not even a crust of bread. Since the saving of coal has been reduced to terms which the average man will understand, since it has beefi compared with the saving of foodstuffs it behooves each and every consumer of coal to put this rule in practice: Burn coal only to the ex- tent that it is actually necessary. The same amount of heat can be gotten, for instance. from a furnace that 18 moderately filled with coal as can be reaiized from one whose pit is filled to the point of overflowing. Coal stacked to the very celling of a fur- nace does not always give as much heat as coal when piled only high enough to be level with the furnace door. Over feeding a furnace is like eating a full meal after a banquet. ALL MEN OF MILITARY AGE. With the extenuation of the Selec- tive Service Law whereby all who registered on June 5 last must now fill out questionnaires there will come a realization of the vast responsibili- ties resting on the people of the Union. There were ten million men con- cerned in the Draft. One million, in round numbers, were selected, and called to the colors. They are now in the various military training camps scattered throughout the country. The other nine million were not called, and have been left to pursue the even ten- or of their former ways. Now, however, these remaining ninc million men, all between the ages of twenty-one and thirty-one, are asked to set down their qualifications. Some of these men have been called before the various exemptibn boards and have been rejected ds unfitt—physi- cally. Mentally they were all right. They could probably wield a pen or use a typewrliter, or be of use in some other walk of life save the military. And that is what Uncle Sam: wants to know. He wants to get hold of thesc young fellows, whos not being of use in the ranks‘of the army, can be mus- tered into the ranks of the army be- hind the lines, the army behind the army. There are more ways than whereby men of military age can do their bit. Shoulder guns is not the only occupation to which they can be put. There is book-keeping to be done in the army as well as in busi- ness. There is cooking to be done. There is music to be furnished to the soldiers in the ranks. So even men who can play the various instruments of music are wanted, and may be called under the new order. The plan has been thoroughly worked out. When the young men recelve their ques- tionnaires they will be surprised at the number of pertinent questions asked, and which they will be required te an- swer under oath. The things to be done in this war are Innumerable. The men to do them, too, are many. So the task is not as hard as might at first be supposed. Uncle Sam knows ‘what he wants. Further, he wants what he wants when he wants it. one ‘Where have gone those good old days when sugar was the cheapest commodity on the market, when a two-dollar bill would purchase almost fifty pounds?

That mountain of patriotic intelli- gence, Jim Reed of Missouri, having been denled his customary dish of meat for breakfast, informed the keeper of the inn at which this awful hardship was imposed that “if the hotel would keep track for thirty days it would find that on Wednes- days the guest would cat double the amount of meat to make Up for what they didn’tgget,lon Tuesdays, despite any arguments put forth by the food administration.” ' On tho same day this. outgiving was. printed the food administration 1s¢ it be known - that ‘“meatless Tuesdays” had resulted in the saving by one great chain of restaurants of seven tons of meat weekly, including abaut 2,500 pounds of hog meat and £.300 pounds of beef. ~Jim Reed continues to be as wrong as he is neisy. Peter the Great and Lawyers. In Russia during the reign of Peter the Great private litlgants might have their suits prosecuted free of ‘cost by tawyers paid by the state. The em- peror, discovering that his subjects were being imposed upon by their le- zal agents, who contrived to delay trials until they had sucked thelr cli- ents dry. enacted that sufficlent solic- ttors and attorneys should bhe em- ployed at handsome yearly salaries to officiate for the public In every mat- ter of law. He ordered further that these men should insert in a reglster written up daily the dates of appli- cations to them and should proceed with the suits in the order in which they were received without respect of persons. If they failed to do so, if they accepted any bribe or fee or if ¢hey were dilatory these lawvers were to be knouted and sent to Siberia. Going back to the Boxer campaign | | FRANK ANDERSON.

Never in the history of Good Old Tax Payer has there been such a de- flant stand 'takgn to squeeze his life- blood away. He has been one of the most patriotic citizens, usually of the Don’t-Care kind and always in the trenches when he should be on the firing line. He stood devotedly by his colors untl attacked by old, slippery Jack Frost and forced to surrender: but after seéing the Flag of Peace hoisted, the enemy, immediately opened fire, capturing Tax Payer and his volunteers who were held prison- ers and by the captain's orders placed In confinement at Fort Shuttle Mead- ow Wwith help of expensive volunteers, where they were allowed no attention except by a few politicians who final- ly 8ot cold feet and decided thelr re- mains should be marked by a suitable tombstone: “To be pald for by fu- ture Little Tax Pavers if there hap- pen to be any left.” O!—how well we remember these great captains of industrials and how willingly they came to our rescue with a volunteer army trained by past ex- perience to capture everything that was not locked up or nailed down. Mr. Rent Payer was to live gn Easy Btreet, easily accessible to by one of the New Method Constructed Streets —same &s Lafayette—for Old King Spud had come into power and prom- ised to furnish abundant supply of food for the coming vear. He was more than cheerful after se- lecting a spot where he could hide away and the sharp eyes of only a few critics would ever know how he could multiply so fast, for Old Kiny Spud had numcrous eves and was not to be deceived; but to his great disap- pointment a volunteer army of Boy Scouts (the very best) attacked him and with their sharp bayonets, de- stroyed most of his eves by cutting and slashing after w h he was left in the hot sun where he fell. The cheerful grooming by all the expensive tools and machinery, and the shirtless army which on many oc- casions had a heart-to-heart talk, also the pnblicity of what he was going to do: all this was too much for Old King Spud. He refused to be bun- coed, insisling he was a member of the Politicians’ Union and would only work their union hours. When at last the remains of Old King Spud, including his followers were gathered up, and as in revens against his bad behavior, they weore cast into some dark cellar with a lot of dirty, scrabby members of their own tribe, captured by Mr. Tax Paver who in return for hiz gencrosity will be obliged to put both hands in his pockKet next year: also. Mr. Tax Paver will wonder why his rent has been raised; all through the unfaithfulness of the Politicians’ Union. A. NOCKER. Venice in Danger. (New York Times) Most unfortunately, is Venice a fortress and' a naval station, and any resistance invaders that is made there will give them the excuse for bombarding it that has been lacking in many other places with like, though less, rights to immunity from attack.

Being Sent to the Firing Line Does Not Mean Instant Death, as Many Suppase. (Meriden Record.) Secretary Baker has performed a useful service in giving out the death rate in the British army. Most Americans have supposed that that rate was very high. The Teports for many months have ; shown a fairly steady stream of casualties amounting to 80,000 or 90,000 a month. A moment's cam- putation will show what a stagger- ing total that makes in a year or two. And the British have been fight- ing for more than three years. Yet only seven per cent. of the British expeditionary forces had been killed in action or died of wounds up to June 1. That means, indeed, a large number, because of the great size of the British army; but the pro- portion is surprisingly small. Buying Furniture.
