A leading London journal suggests that
housekeepers can save thirty per cent Of
their coal by using solid bottoms in ordinary
CRATES. 1t says; In any fireplace not ex-
cessively small plate of iron placed upon
the CRATE will halve the consumption of
coal, reduce the smoke and leave cheer
full, free burning fire. Quite sufficient air
enters through the bars, no poking is neces-
sary and the fires never go out until the
Goals are consumed. There is no ash and
no dust, every particle of fuel being con
sumed." These hints apply just as well to
this country as to England.
