HOW TO BURN SOFT

to how that kind OF faei can be used

suit. Another scheme, and one
which | consider good one, is to
mix buck wha at coal with the btu
mInou>, This greatly reduces the
amount Of smoke emi!tcd.
In reference to ranges, however,
theAc6ndtions are somcw what imprac-
tlcab.c. The present style CRATES
arc not suited for soft coal in that
they are too small and should be-
more open. The old style open
CRATE is best adapted to the use Of
th's coal, although even then tho
sTokc and smell are very offensive.
The heat sent out by bilnmjnous
coal is over % per cent greater than
tina, of atilraclte, and no range
could stand this heat more than
three or four months. The CRATE
would crack and the cutire range.
If kept in use for several months
longer, would finally fall to pieces
For cooking, an offensive smell
would result. Al In all, the idea
of using soft coal in ranges is rather
an impracticabe one"

by United States Senator Chauncey M.

Croton railroad station to hotel. AS
he passed along the highway he saw the
school and noticed that the stars and
stripes were upside down.
The senator halted his surrey and
climbed up the hill to the schoolhouse.
The children were at their studies. Miss
Regan came to the door. When she saw
Senator Depew she blushed deeply. -

the senator as he stood smiling, hat in

But could not help it. - The halyards

up at all, the boys put it up wrong side

Mr.. Depew said that she had the proper
spirit. He made a speech to the children
telling them of the importance of patriot
ism and significance of the flag. kissed q
