"

JOKE."

By A HouseнOLDER..]

Somewhere, in а Government office, warmed by a blazing coal fire, I can imagine a bunch of our bureau cratic masters roaring with laughter over the success of their great Anthra cité Joke.

The great Arthracite Joke consisted of official warnings to British hous holders to cope with the shortage of crdinary coal and to save themselves from shivers this winter by equipping their homes with anthracite, stoves.

Anthracite coat, they were told, would not be reckoned in their così ration. Anthracite coal was to be had in. abundance. The man who did not forthwith fix st least one anthracite stove in his house was, at least, a fool.
