ASKS COLLEGES TO HELP. ^ Urges Colleges to Close for Present, Churches to Hold Union Services. Anderson, Dec. 14.?Characterizing the coal condition throughout South Carolina as being "most acute, with only fair chances of securing relief until after the Christmas holidays," y B. B. Gossett, State fuel administrator, today called upon all colleges, schools and other institutions of learning, where wood cannot be substituted for coal, to suspend during the holidays for a period of not less than two weeks, or longer if practi- ? cable. He also called upon the churches of the towns and cities heated by coal to hold united services * fnr the Dresent. The action is taken by the administrator for the purpose of conserving the present small supply of coal, and to bridge over the holidays until more shipments of coal, for ^ South Carolina points can be secured. He points out that very few shipments of coal can be expected from j the mines during the holiday season, and says that it is imperative, in prder to meet conditions squarely, that every pound of coal be conserved and distributed properly among t the people to prevent suffering. Gave Fair Warning. Several weeks ago realizing that conditions in the State were bad, and that they were going to become d even more acute, Mr. Gossett sounded ^ a warning, suggesting the substitution of wood for coal as far as possi- ^ ble. Many communities heeded this warning by laying in supplies of wood, sufficiently large to tide their ^ people through the extremely cold weather. Other communities, how- ^ ever, did not heed the warning and deluged the fuel administration with , urgent icqucais tui iin meuits.it: amy- ^ |p~. ments of coal. ' -Mr. Gossett has requested tele- j graphic reports from city fuel commissions on the supply of coal on hand and on the road and estimates . on coal needed during the holiday period. He wants this information in b hand by tomorrow noon. On Sunday he leaves for Washington to confer with Dr. Garfield, the national administrator, on Monday, hoping to secure shipments of coal for South ^ ? Carolina points at once. . Shortage National. P Mr. Gossett states that he cannot _ too strongly emphasize the fact that i the present coal shortage is not 1 I confined to this State, but that it is /nation-wide, and the people must adjust themselves to .the fact that America is engaged in a great war, which will necessitate some sacrifices on their part, not the least of which is the matter of curtailing the use of coal. He laid great stress on the fact that it is the patriotic duty of every loyal South Carolinian to assist his country in this way and that no one had the right to expect to go through this winter without suffering some discomforts and inconveniences. Unlike many other States, South Carolina has an abundant supply of wood available, therefore, it is not only a necessity, but the duty of the people to substitute wood for coal in every way possible.

"No matter how careful I was bout dieting myself, just as soon as finished eating I was all upset and ick, nothing seemed to agree with ie. "Of course," said Mrs. Garvin, my wful run-down condition was due tc he fact Jthat for many years I had uffered something awful from serius kidney trouble; then for weeks I rould be tortured with inflamatory heumatism.

When a representative of Vitona sked Mrs. Garvin for a statement he quietly replied: "Go your limit, on, I am not much on this publicity usiness, but if I can help thousands f others who are suffering as I did, will gladly tell them what Vitona as done' for me." .
