TOCOKSERVEFORHOMEUSE Falling Pool* In Ohla and Wsst Vir­ ginia, With Doubled Coat*of Secur­ ing Supply. Demand Limit of It* Dae. . . Washington, Dec. 28.—Tha United States Full Administration's Publica­ tion No. 28, for the control of the use of the falling supply o f natural gas, Indicates the. order In which the several hinds o f users are to be deprived o f It ae the obtainable -qyan-j ttty lessens. Ths preferred classes are: "Class 1.—This class includes do* -mastic service, which Is defined as Including the reasonable use o f nat­ ural gae where now used tor heat­ ing, fighting, and cooking In private homes, boarding houses, apartment houses, hospitals, and other, charit­ able institutions; and the use of nat­ ural gas where how used for lighting and cooking only In hotels, restaur­ ants, bakeries, and eating places, and for heating In hotels where separate rooms are dependent upon natural gas for use in grates and stoves, This class also included gas engine power Ion Its products and In the operation o f gas engines for the production of coal. "Class 2.—The use of natural gas in gaB engines where other power can not be used, and for gas engines for generating electric current for street carB and domestic service, the heating and lighting of business of­ fices and stores where other means for. the production o f heat and light can not reasonably be substituted. "Class 3.—The use of natural gas where now used for heating build­ ings not Included in Classes T and 2; also all other classes of gas engine power, including the generating of electric current for industrial pur­ poses to plants engaged in manufac­ turing munitions and other essential war articles under Government or­ ders to the extent that current Is needed in the manufacture of such orders. "Class 4.—The use o f natural gas for the production of food products, and industrial consumers engaged in manufacturing munitions and other essential war articles to the extent that said natural gaa is needed In the manufacture of such essential war articles under Government or­ ders, and fo r the generating of steam power for public utilities. "Class 6.—The use of natural gas for .all other purposes/' Epitomized in reverse order the government directs that as the supply decreases the natural gas companies must shut off publla service compa­ nies using gas under boilers pud all factories having government orders. Then, it there be not gas enough to. supply each of the first 'three classes, large buildings shall discon- tinue 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 bf the United States Fuel Administration was used the classification previously made by the Utilities Commission of Ohio, which is a flattering acknowledge­ ment o f the wisdom of that body from a distinguished source. The armistice' has In no wise changed the gas situation. COMPARINGCOST OFCOALANDCAS ReferencetoSuferings Buck­ eyesMayBearThisWinter. Columbus, Dec. 28.—The official publication jo f Union Labor, the Trades Record, gives editorially the comparative costs o f coal and gas In the city as follows: "Prior to the present winter, nat­ ural "gas has bean regarded by the people of Columbus, and no doubt of other cities, as a great convenience, but by no means a necessity. "Many were willing to pay 50 per cent to 80 per cent more for it than coal would have cost because It was so much cleaner and because the saVihg o f time oitan more than offset the slightly higher cost of fuel "This year thousands do, and tens of thousands should, realize that if it had not been for ths excellent supply of natural gas the people of this city would have suffered intensely this winter/’ "Not only have the gas companies saved the people from freezing, but they have furnished the heat at lower rates than heat from coal would have cost at the1current prices of coal, t( the necessary amount of coal con'd have been had, which it could not be "Furnace manufacturers tar that at. a net rate c f 30 cents gas for furnaces costs as much as coal at |5 a ton. "This year good soft coal lias been worth IT- Our gas supply was never ‘better and the people should not eas­ ily forget how well the local com­ panies have been managed in the critical period now scaroely. past" An audit of the books of the Lima artificial gas company, by a commit- tee o f council, having shown that at the rate of a dollar a thousand the company had lost $18,060 during the year, a new rate of $1,25 was granted.

The Christmas Spirit Christmas peace la God's; and he mast give it himself, with his own hand, or we shall never iA\ i t Go then to GofiThlmMlf, Then art his child, as Christmas day declares; he not afraid to go unto thy father. Pray to him; tell him what thoU want* eat; say, “Father, I am not mod­ erate, reasonable, forbearing. I fear I cannot keep Christmas arlghf, f° t I have not a peaceful Christmas spirit In me; and I know that I shall never get It by thinking, and reading and un­ derstanding; for it passes all that, and lies fa r beyond It, does peace, in the very essence o f thine undivided, unmoved, absou * lute, eternal Godhead, which no change nor decay o f this created world, nor sin or folly of men or devils, can ever alter, but which abldeth forever what It Is, In perfect rest, and perfect power and perfect love.—Kings­ ley. DAY OF DAYS FOR KIDDIES Christmas Outranks All Other Hull- days for the Happiness and Mer­ rymaking of the Youngsters. Above all other holidays, Christmas is children's day. If possible, they should be made happy on that day. But they should not be permitted to be selfishly so. • In times past there has been a tend­ ency on the part of many of us to give too many gifts, and too expensive ones, to our children. We have been waste- fuL We should not love our children ;ess—indeed we would show greater love—by being careful what we give them. Too many toys incline children to be both wasteful and destructive. When the youngsters are left to In­ vent some o f their playthings, their Imaginations'are developed, and they become more capable of doing things for themselves and taking care of themselves. This Christmas would be a good time to begin teaching children unselfish­ ness and the joy o f giving. Many a poor mother Is struggling to provide food and shelter for her children -and has nothing to give them from Santa Claus. The children o f sych mothers are going to have wide, wistful, tear- stained eyes. They are going to crave the Joys o f a Christmas day that, may not be theirs. While our fathers, brothers and sons are at the front, risking health and life for us, for our country, for good in the world, let us not' forget those children who lack a father’s care and protection. The good fellows are do­ ing much- .But they need our help both in giving and In seeking-out the needy. They need our aid In distribut­ ing as well as providing. Let us not forget the spirit for1 which Christmas stands! It is to give freely, to do service t o mankind. - Let qs give love. Let us give sympathetic understanding/* Let us*give ourselves, He lives most who lives for others. And he who shall have made a child happy on Christmas morning will have done a service in his name. CHRISTMAS AMD THE SPIRIT Necessary to Manifest Unselfishness . and tha Love Christ Brought to the World. Two artists were asked to make • copy o f a famous painting. The one made mathematical calculations, and produced a technically correct Copy. The other studied the painting, entered Into the splclt of th.6.artist,, and pro* duced not merely an imitation, but a picture which glowed with warmth and life. We are not, as Christians, simply to copy Christ, hut rather to become possessed o f his spirit and so reprodnce his life in our lives. At this Christmas season let us aim to become possessed o f the spirit ol Christ; and so reprodnce his life. In "Little Women" there Is a story told by Louisa AlcOtt out o f the ex­ perience of her ou n early days. The fonr children who are her. heroines, knowing of a neighbor In need, go In a tittle procession and carry her their breakfast; Another Incident may he recalled. It may not have been pro* clsely Chrlstmastlde, but It*was win­ ter, and the weather waa bitterly cold. The stock o f wood was low, and night had fallen, when there came a knock at the door. A shivering child stood there, saying that her mother had no wood, that the baby was sick and the father gone On a spree. She begged for a tittle wood. "Divide our stock 'with her,” said Mr. Alcott, “and we will trust in Providence. The weather will moderate, or wood will come.” No wonder that the children trained in the Alcott household grew qp heed­ less o f privation and generous to those whose need was g r e g f This Is the. true Christmas spirit If our Christ* maattde Is pervaded by real unselfish­ ness, wo shall manifest to every one the love that Christ brought to the world. Truthful, But Unpopular. A truthful man is one who says on Christmas morning as he views hie gifts: "Just what I didn't want,” but he’ll never be popular. ............................- Bleated Optimism.
