A summary follows: In forbidding the use of fuel for general industrial and commercial purposes the fuel administration intended that the word fuel cover everything used for producing heat, light and power, including coal, coke, wood, oil, charcoal, natural and artificial gas, gasoline, kerosene, alcohol, etc. The three general classes of manufacturing plants exempted from operation of the orders are shipbuilding yards, airplane manufacturing plants and industries producing explosives. Other plants have been exemDted on specific orders of the war and navy departments, but the exemptions cover only that part of their plants specifically engaged in turning out products for the government. The exempted plants have been notified they are not included in the order. All manufacturers of woolen and cotton goods have been exempted in so far as they are working on army or navy contracts. Finishing plants and dye works coming within this class have also been exempted. To Prevent Freezing. Users of hvdro-electric power are not required to shut down their plants, but they may burn enough fuel to prevent freezing. Wood working mills not exempted on orders of the war or navy departmente may operate only to the extent that their products are placed /in their own yards for seasoning. Others not otherwise exempted which use their own waste for fuel, may operate to produce sufficient fuel to prevent freezing. Wood working plants supplying fuel to householders must apply to local fuel administrators for permission to operate to such an ex' , tent as is necessary for the welfare of the community. All mines of whatever character are exempt. Subcontractors supplying materials to exempted industries are permitted to operate only if their entire production goes to exempted plants.

The British government has just advertised for bids on silk for the Holy Veil. This annual gift has done more than anything else to keep Egypt loyal to England and deaf to Turkey. When Turkey sent fanatics thi<oughout Egypt to stijr up a "holy war" tse natives pointed to jthe Holy Veil as evidence of England's understanding and sympathy with Mohametanism. Again the time for the making of the veil has come, and America has been invited to help supply the raw silk, of which 1,193 pounds are needed. The Holy Veil is used for the covering in Mecca, Arabia, of the Ka'aba, a building almost forty feet cube, into the southwest corner of which is built a small black meteroic stone, a j little larger than the size of a man's head, reported to have been given to j Abraham by the Archangle Gabriel. The Ka'aba, except for about fifteen days in the year, is covered from sight by a veil. In Mahomet's life, and for some years afterwards this veil was made of a striped Yemon cloth. But when the Mahometan caliphs i rose to wealth and power such as i Haroun-al-Raschild of "Arabian | Nights" fame it became the custom I of the caliph to present each year a j marvelously beautiful brocaded silk; veil to cover the entire structure. The British government follows the tradition of the Mohometans, and the entire veil is made by native Egyptians who are hajji, or believers j who have made the pilgrimage to j Mecca. An official of the government ac-! companies the veil till it is nearly at i its destination. On three occasions during the last i thirty years, silks prepared in Ameri- j ca have been used in part for the weaving of the Kisma. Matches and Other Articles Barred.

After about the second bottle I felt greatly Improved.. .before taking it my limbs and hands and arms would go to sleep. After taking it, however, this poor circulation disappeared. My strength came back to me and I was soon on the road to health. After the use of about 5 bottles, I could do all my house-work and attend to my six children besides."
