language how to construct them so they
will not smoke. Make tho throat OF the
fireplace not more than half tho size Of
tho flue, carefully smooth the inside Of
the tiue, and havesIt OF tho same area al
the way to near the top OF the chimney
where it should be gradually tapered In,
ward to about half the area Of the nue
At the extreme top tho capstone SHOULD
slant from the opening in all directions
downward at an anglo, Of about twenty
degrees. This will insure good draugh
j and prevent tho smoke blowing down

Same flue; neither should a stovepipe en-
ter ilue unless the fireplace is closed
i Each stove and fireplace should have 1T
own nue. The size necessary for a flu,
depends on the fuel to be used.
Soft or bitumlnous coal requires a flu
nearly double tho size of ono where an
& |sthracte is to be used; an open fireplace
for wood requires larger fues than either
