This Coal Makes
Lots Of Cheap Heat

You have perhaps some coal that
looked all right in the bin, but when
you put it on the fire it would not
burn right. Instead Of good, clean
long flame, it smoldered and smoked
and would not produce any heat.
That was because of the dirt, slate,
etc. which was in that coal.
In our splint coal there is little, if
any, dirt and slate. It comes in
good, clean Jumps, burns easily, with
long flame and produces intense
heat. This makes it really cheap
coal.
1t is quite likely that within
few weeks it will be difficult to get
good coal at any price. If your bins
are not filled now, let us fill them
a. once.

Hospital as the result Of injuries

DR.. Charles J. Silk, who was called,

The child somehow secured hand
full of matches and was playing with
them when they ignited, setting fire
to his dress The chi1d's cries OF
pain as the fire ate its way up to-
ward his head soon brought the
mother to the rescue.
The frantic woman was too alarm
ed to render much aid to her son.
Shrieking at the top Of her vo ce she
called to- her neighbors. They roll
ed the lad In blankets and finally
smothered tho flames. The boy was
unconscious when Dr. Charles /. Silk
arrived. The physician feared that
the boy was IN such state that he
could not be removed to the hospital.
At IL o'clock the lad was steadily
sinking and the doctor rushed him
to the institution, where he is now
in a critical condition.
The injured lad is mass OF horri-
BILE burns from his head down and
the doctor says 1t Is one Of the worst
cases he has ever handled.

with coal. sank in the Staten Island
sound OF Port Reading and near the

of the Philadelphia & Reading coal
wharves at Port Reading the early
part OF the week. All that can be
seen OF the vessel at this time is its
cabin. 1t Is believed the ice rammed
a hole in the hull of the vessel. An
other smaller barge is down near
the lead works. 1t is declared Il
