SMALLER COAL BILLS.
DEVICE THAT UTILIzES AS FUEL THE

The apparatus furnishes the oxygen, and per-

substantial economy in the coal bill else in

problems which the servants and the furnace man

is introduced the problem solves itself It is
equally eff1cacious whether for the furnace the
kitchen range, the hall stove or a steam boiler

is maintained long the fuel lasts. the coal is
