“Meatless Days Are Altered. With the advent of Lent and the consequent restriction upon adherents of the Roman Catholic Church in the matter of eating meats on Wednesday and Friday, a change has been made in the Food Controller’s regulations.
Instead of meatless days being Tuesday and Friday, they are now to be Wednesdays and Fridays. Hotels and restaurants will be ordered to govern themselves according to the new regulation.”

“Coal Situation Not Improved. The coal situation in this city was by no means improved today. It was confidently expected that there would be at least one or two cars of nut coal brought into the city last night or today, but up to the present time it has failed to arrive. There is no nut coal here. Today many orders were issued by the fuel controller for soft pea, and mixed coal.”
