KOal-Spar is a new
preparation to save coal.
Directions for use: Dis.
solve the Koal-Spar in
water and sprinkle it
over the coal. Koal-Spar
acts as a flue to aid the
combination of the oxy-
gen in the air with the
coal gas in the coal; this
combination produces
what we call heat, Soft
coal, more than any
other, lacks the certain
elements which are re-
quired to make a perfect
combustion. Koal-Spa-
supplies these elements.
The incomplete COM
bustion of coal causes
clinkers and cinders to
form in stoves, and also
the liberation of coal uas
in large quantities.
The presence of coal
gas In a house not only
soils everything, but it
is very conducive to
colds IN the head, throat
and lung troubles. Don't
forget that euro is the
best remedy.
Koal-Spar will destroy
coal gas, smoke and
SCOT. A 25 cent package
will save a quarter of a
ton Of coal. Buy it. Try
it, and be happy.

carried him to within a few feet of me-
l rushed into the water up to my knees
and grabbed him by the shoulder and
lifted him up. He did not say a word.
AS soon as / got him on his feet he

three times before / knew what he was

four or five minutes, but never spoke

There were three cuts, two almost in
the same place, squarely across the
throat. The other was above and as
deep as the others. The razor cut deep,
severing both jugulars, the windpipe
| and the carotid arteries on both Sides
The place where Smith went down
the bank was almost directly in front
of Major Waters residence. For the
