WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1918 CLEAN THE FURNACE AND BUY COAL NOW United States Fuel Administration Asks North Shore Residents To Be Prepared For Winter HARD COAL IS SCARCE Persons Who Have Not Put In Fuel Supply Are Requested To Buy Soft Coal at Once The United States Fuel Adminis- tration calls the attention of north shore residents to the following facts and asks their co-operation in order to save themselves the inconvenience of being without heat during the coming winter: Every furnace should be thorough- ly cleaned, especial attention being given to the stove pipe and the chimney. All leaks in the chimney, whether in brick-work or otherwise, should be sealed up tight. If the stove pipe is rusted out, have it re- placed with new. Clean Heating Plants Have the furnace, hot water, or steam house plant thoroughly clean- ed out and any repairs that are nec- essary made at once. There is a big scarcity of labor and wherever it is possible the owner should supply the labor himself for this cleaning and for the repairing as'far as pos- sible and not depend upon the promises of the plumber or furnace men. There is a big scarcity of hard coal, and while some people were fortun- ate enough to get their supply of hard coal early in the year, the short- age at this time makes it necessary for the Fuel Administration to di- vide what little hard coal is coming to Cook County to the extent that not more than one-third of the year's requirements can be delivered to each consumer now. It will be nec- essary for those who have not re- ceived any fuel to order from their dealers their supply of soft coal im- mediately. Because there will not be enough hard coal to go around, we urge that those who have not a full year's supply, put in Illinois soft coal at least equivalent to one-third of their last year's supply. How To Buy Soft Coal If you have-never used soft coal and do not know what size to order, the best way to estimate it is to take that size of soft coal nearest to or the size larger than the hard coal you have used in the past. It takes about 1 1/3 tons of soft coal to do the work of 1 ton of hard coal, and it should be ordered on this basis. It must be borne in mind that the supply of the prepared sizes of Illinois soft coal is not over-abund- ant at this time. and those who procrastinate and delay in placing their order will find themselves later on without any fuel and unable to get it.

BONDS, BAYONETS, BERLIN CHRISTIAN SCIENCE WELFARE HOUSE LONDON, England--On August 1, dispatch to The Christian Science as already announced in a cable Monitor, the Christian Science Wel- fare House, for the use of the allied forces, was opened at 112 Eaton Square, London S. W. 1. Week after week fresh contingents are being added to the vast American Army already transported across the At- lantic; consequently thousands of soldiers and sailors now find a temporary home in the little island from which their forefathers set sail in quest of liberty three centuries ago. The Welfare House is primar- ily intended for the convenience of those officers and men of the United States Army and Navy who are in- terested in Christian Science, but a welcome will also be extended to any sailor or soldier who desires to come. The Christian Science Welfare House is situated in a convenient center, close to the American Em- bassy and the busy thoroughfare around Victoria Station. Various bus routes pass close by, and tube and underground railway are easily and quickly reached, but the creeper- clad house itself stands in a wide, sunny square, where spreading plane trees cast a cool shade in the long, hot summer days. ' The house is designated.to help and befriend in every way the men of the allied forces. It is actuated by the desire to do everything to make the men feel as much at home as pos- sible. The reception rooms, it is hoped, will provide an accessible place where friends can meet; while for the convenience of the men an information bureau will be open from 10 a. m. till 6 p. m., and a re- gister will be kept of the addresses of those who let rooms or take in boarders. The bureau will also be prepared to make arrangements for those officers or men on leave who wish to spend a quiet time in the country, while for those anxious to see something of the sights of Lon- don expeditions to interesting parts of the city, including picture gal- geries and museums, will be plan- ned, and the bureau will always be ready with the names of hosts and hostesses willing to invite officers and men, singly or in small: parties, to their houses, so that all who desire may share the social intercourse that can only be enjoyed in the midst of home life. The Christian Science Welfare House, too, has reading and writing rooms, in the quiet of which the men can make themselves at home with their books and papers, or can sit and write their letters undisturb- ed. A certain number of bedrooms will also be available at the Welfare House, to provide sleeping accom- modations, at a reasonable price, for men staying in London, and break- fast will be provided at a moderate charge.--The Christian Science Moni- tor. ¢ BONDS, BAYONETS, BERLIN ADMINISTRATORS GIVE SUGAR RULE The north shore food administrat- ors, C. D. Macpherson and John Westreicher stated this week that from now on the retail grocers on the north shore may sell to a city customer one week's family supply of sugar, and to a country or farm customer, a two weeks' family sup- ply, but not more in any case. The regulations limiting purchases to two pounds for city people and 5 pounds for country customers have been re- called, but the rule limiting each per- son to two pounds of sugar each month still holds good. The advanced price in sugar which went into effect on September 9, {should not be over 11 cents a pound, and there should be no raise in the price of sugar which is old stock. The food administrators believe the old stock will last until the first of October in most cases. This should keep the price of sugar down until that time.
