DISCUSSING
SOFT COAL USE
Many Local People Interested
in The Result
RULES TO GOVERN BURNING
II Given Instructions Are Followed
Much Money Can be Saved by
The Householder

Readers OF the Evening Journal were
much surprised and pleased to learn
through this paper that soft coal may
to great extent, take the place Of an
thracite for domestic use. and many
were heard discussing the instructions
which were given governing the sue
cassful manner OF using It.
Some OF the incredulous kind who are
always to be found are advancing ar
guments against IT, They VIII be on
lightened if they follow closely the ad-
vice given and also give attention to
the following:
In the first place. they say that the
CRATES of an ordinary cook stove must
be changed to burn soft coal This is
not necessary. Ordinary CRATES used
for anthracite can be used without any
difficulty. IL is true that the continual
use Of bltuminous coal would burn out
the CRATES more quickly than the use OF
anthracite. and necessitate the placing
of new ones. but bitumlnous coal would
have to be used for a long time to do
that.
The second argument is that the el-
bow stove pipe cannot provide Tile nee
soft coal would require in a cook stove.
This is partly true. In a square elbow
4 pipe certain amount of draft goes to
waste. The air forms a miniature
whirlwind in the upper corner, and
therefore does not go down the pipe.
I However, in a good-sized pipe, this
difficulty would not be great enough to
interfere with the fire
Detective or misconstructed fiues In
small houses are the third argument
advanced There are very few, II any,
ilues In the houses OF this city that are
$50 misconstructed as to prevent a sur
lhcient draft from entering and prevent
ling a soft coal fire from burning IL
such exist it is not the fault OF the
coal but the architect who built the
house. This can be overcome only bx
lremodeling the flue
Ordinary CRATES can be used without
being changed. Don't pile too much
coal on the fire. and keep a watch on
II and continual draft and the house
keeper can get as much satisfaction out
of soft as hard coal.
In the case Of a square elbow pipe.
It Is advisable to purchase a round
POINT 10 get better results. although the
former can be made to do
D. II the instructions given are closely
followed It VIII be found much cheaper
to burn soft coal than TO pay s12 ton
for hard coal, which price IS now be-
ing asked by those dealers who have
any to sell. There are no prospects OF
, getting amy large amount for some
time.
