We have tried Koal-splr for sale by
Mr. H. II. Tappan. Snow Hill, and we
believe il To be great coal saver. We
notice that there is no coal gas IN a room
where Koal-spar is used. The coal seems
10 burn up brighter but does not consume
so rapidly and strange to say the heat
seems to be greater where this prepara-
tion is used. We recommend il To all
who want to save coal and il only costs a
iriile.
