diers. In line with their rifles in their
hands they were not individuals, but
part of great machine of war. acting
under orders. In no case did the con-
ferring Of a personal favor change the
attitude Of officer or soldier in relation
70 the enemy.
Gen. Grant, when Buckner surren-
dered at Fort Donelson, handed the lat
ter his purse and opened his quarters
to him, but when Buckner returned to
the confederate lines he made war
just as he had made war before. At
At Gettysburg, Gen. Barlow was car
ried from the field by direction Of Gem
Gordon and most tenderly cared for.
Gordon went so far as as 10 send into
the union lines for Gen. Barlow's wife,
and when compelled TO march away
the next morning left Barlow without
promise or parole, and with all the re-
sources Of his own headquarters at his
command. This did not bar Gen. Bar
low or any of his command from maxi
ing war on Gen. Gordon and his COM
mand.
"a thousand times union officers and
soldiers were fed or entertained by
the relatives Of men prominent in the
confederate service. Sometimes this
hospitality was offered from interest
ed motives and sometimes because Of
old acquaintance, as in the case Of Gen.
Sherman at Atlanta. But the accept
ance of hospitality in no way bound
those accepting il to not fire on those
who fed them or TO forbear military
operations Of any kind against them.
There were times when a good south
ern mother gave the best she had in
her house to divert the attention of
union officers from her son, hidden in
some upper room.
"But the acceptance Of her hospital
ity did not prevent the officers or sol
diers entertained from capturing the
son IL they could. There were cases in
which starving confederates dressed
themselves in union uniforms and Sc
cured provisions by deceiving the men
on guard against them. There were /
times when the unionists acted in the |
same way.

BURNING SOFT COAL.
Handling Of Bituminous Fuel Must
Be Studied Carefully.
But IL Directions Here Given Are
Needed, Houses May Easily Be
Kept Warm-Top Draft l.
Necessary Always.

How many people understand how
to burn soft coal? OF course. the
problem presents but little difficulty
when proper furnaces and specially
prepared CRATES are installed for the
purpose, but VIXEN, as in this in
stance, one turns hurriedly from
card TO the soft fuel with the deter
nination to make present fixings do,
tomething more than a will is re-
4uired to find the way. OF course,
here is a way and it is simple enough
In reality, but it is u very different
way from that which must be en-
ployed with anthracite.
In the feed door Of every furnace
there is slide damper to admit air
over the fire. When anthracite is
used this is opened only If it is de-
sired to deaden the fire and lower the
temperature Of the house. With soft
,oal it must be left open all the time.
The great volume Of gases evolved
from II in the coking process, which
s the first stage in its combustion,
,allS for more air than can be had
through the body Of fuel, and unless
this is supplied above the fire the
greatest value Of the fuel is lost up
the chimney in unconsumed gases.
Too much air for good combustion
,an be admitted over the fire, but il
Is not likely to be the case if the
slide damper in the feed door of
furnace built for anthracite is left
wide open all the time. The drafts
opening in the ash pit, on the other
hand, needs to be less widely and
continuously open than for anthra-
cite.
With the same amount Of bottom
draft which It is customary to give
hard coal, soft coal would simulate
the combustion I'm a blast furnace
and call for constant stocking. The
householder must also remember

these details, which reverse the Gus
tomary practice with anthracite, a
furnace may be run on bituminous
coal so as to keep house entirely
comfortable.
To the novice perhaps the most
difficult problem will be in keeping
the fire going all night, but even this
is easy when one knows how to do
it. In this case the first requisite is
one or two big Jumps of coal, big
enough between them to cover COM
pletely the entire surface Of the FIRE,
then slack must be hesped high over
this and beaten or pressed down into
as solid a mass as possible. A fire
thus fixed will burn from - to IA
hours in most cases. The product OF
some coal mines, however. burns
quicker than that which is dug from
other districts, and it may be neces-
sary, therefore, to dampen the top
Of the fuel and scatter a plentiful
supply Of ashes over the top.
The idea, it will be readily seen, is
to shut off quick drafts, TO force the
fire TO burn slowly and evenly as pos
sible, and so cause combustion 10 last
as long as possible. This method Of
banking a fire" is commonly resort
ed TO in countries where milder win
ters and less abundant supplies Of
anthracite make hard coal furnaces
rare and costly.
At the same time It IS quite pos
sible that the housewife will prefer
TO let her fire out every night and so
save the labor Of banking and raxing
out the plentiful supply Of ashes
which will have formed by morning.
With soft coal il is a matter Of a
few minutes only TO get the fire go
ing and the kettle boiling for break
fast. II kindles nearly as easily as
shavings and the coke Of the previous
fire does not have TO be removed
from the fire pot. All that is neces-
sary Is 10 shake down the fine ash
and make the new fire upon what re-
mains.
With a little judgment one having
R small supply Of anthracite avail
able may run his furnace through /
the day and evening with soft coal, /
and by adding anthracite at night |
have a fire in the morning. But with |
no anthracite at all he can, with a
little more trouble than he IS accus-
toned 70, keep his house comfortable /

Good
Medicine

Cod liver oil is in universal re-
pute as the best body builder in
wasting diseases, and the best
reconstructor in recovery from
severe sickness known to medicine.
Nevertheless, three-fourths Of
the people are really made sick by
the taste and smell Of cod liver oil.
Half of them can't take it. Their
stomachs either reject it, or are so
upset by it that the dose does
more harm than good.
Vinol is the only preparation Of
cod liver oil which contains no
grease or bad taste yet does con-
tain all the virtue Of cod liver
oil, and is deliciously palatable. It
also contains organic iron. Iron
gives quality to the blood. Almost
every ailing person needs it.
The combination OF these two
elements with table wine is both
scientific and effective. 1t has
accomplished wonderful things
right here in town. We think
we are doing a service to every
rundown, ailing, coughing, ner-
vous, debiltated person in calling
attention to Vinol. We sell it on
its merits money back if it does
not help you. You run no risk

ence. Nursing mothers and over
