Total
Less Expenses
On the theory, and it is an old the-
ory, that American h#mes are over-
heated. the fuel administration urges
housekeepers to conserve coal by main-
taining a temperature of 08 degrees,
that being the temperature “recom-
mended hy eminent American phy-
sicians.”
Doubtless no penalty will be incur-
red for noncompliance with the notice.
Government officials may urge and doc-
tors recommend, but to maintain an
even temperature in a house or apart-
ment Is beyond the powers of federal
or medical regulation, observes the
New York World. It may be possible
in hospitals, where heat is measured
in terms of calories. But in most
American homes the temperature will
continue to run the daily gamut be-
tween the frigidity of the morning
hours and the full head of steam in
the evening, “when the men are home.”
What the fuel administration has in
view, of course, Is a maximum temper-
ature of 68 degrees. That is too cold
for the comfort of many people, and in
fact the whole question of honse heat-
ing Is one of temperament; houses that
are overheated for some persons are
underheated for others. The best that
can be expected Is that householders
and landlords will make a prudent use
of coal and seek to make a given
amount go further; and this economy
is dictated by the present price and
scarcity of fuel no less than by pa-
triotism.
A Small Matter
French maid (to inquiring
friend): “Oui, madame is ill’but
ze doctaire haf pronounce it
something very trifling very
small.”
- Friend: ‘Oh, I am so relived,
for I was really anxious about
her. What does the doctor say
the trouble is?*’
French Maid: “Let me think,”
It was something leetle. Ah, I
haf it now. Ze doctaire say zat
madame has ze smallpox.”
Rev. Joslin left Saturday for
Hallettsville where he will assist
in special meetings.
Mrs. Len. Root and little
daughters left Saturday for Kan-
sas City and other points in the
north where they will visit rela-
tives.
Miss Velta Ballew left Satur-
dav for an extended visit with
relatives and friends in Okla.
Mrs. R. L. Garner and child-
ren left last week for San Anton-
io and Center Point where they
will spend the summer.
F. L. Krai and family .left
Monday for Corpus Christi by
the Veile route for a 10 day va-
cation.
N. K. Marshall returned Mon-
day from a 10 days visit at
Devine. """
Airplane Silencers.
Silencers are needed on airplane en-
flnes to eliminate the noise of ap-
proach, which is the only thing that
warns the enemy of the approaching
planes at night, says Flying. The si-
lencers must do their work thorough-
ly, eliminating the exhaust sounds en-
tirely, because the anti-aircraft units
have very powerful microphones that
magnify the slightest sound. Lacking
silencers—for no other reason than the
added weight and slight loss of power
raiding airplanes are forced to fly at
£lgh altitudes in an attempt to escape
petectlpn. The weight of the fuel
Needed and the horse power and timO
spent in evading detection this way
represent really a geater loss of effi-
ciency than the loss caused by the si-
lencers.

Calorie, Unit of Measure.
A calorie is a Unit of measure of nu-
trition. Farms are measured by the
acre, lumber by the foot, grain by the
bushel, meat by the pound, and nu-
trition by the calorie, says a Chicago
Society of Medical Research bulletin.
▲ calorie of nutrition is equivalent to
the amount of heat sufficient to raise
the temperature of one pint of water
4 degrees Fahrenheit.
LOSING FLESH
“Hello, old man! You seem to be
getting fatter and' fatter.”
“On the contrary, I’m losing flesh
every day.”
, “Well, you don’t look it”
“But I feel it. I’m learning to shave
myself.”

WHAT SHALL WE
;
A lot of confusion has arisen among some of the
housekeepers, over the discontinuance of the free? de-
livery. We offer you the real solution, visit our gro-
cery department and see how easy you can save many
times the cost of the delivery, for Be Not Deceived,
you haue never, and will never get something for no-
thing, no matter how simple the scheme may appear,
you pay for all you get and that means you have been
paying your prorata of a ($10,000.00) Ten Thousand
a year delivery expense, for thats what it has been
costing to operate some ten or twelve free? delivery
wagons in El Campo. If you are open to conviction
give us a chance to save you money on your grocery
bills. . %’ '
