AsOSC1IAy VIC I1lCu tAC Low oAo
covery for burning ashes, and
found that it worked well. The
plan is to mix pound of salt and
two ounces of oxalic acid with a
gallon of water, and sprinkle enough
to dampen a mixture of two parts

conditions a very large per cent. of
the coal is wasted much more than
many imagine. Give the plan a
trial.
