Few .ndust tries in the state closely af-

The gain in the installation OF services

but slightly. The agures compare as

The extent to which gas water heat

These apparatuses are used in a great

Of both have Increased steadily during
the last year.
An average OF eleven water heaters per
month we're installed for the first eleven
months OF 1912, making the total for that
period 222.
The total number Of wafer heaters in
rse at the end OF Novemo was -, ,19i.
more than three times the number Of gas
ranges in use.
The number OF heating stoves installed
was 2G0, while the total number In use

new homes. That there would be many
more water heaters In use If il were not

oftentInes used for hca tins and boiling

heaters, however, can furnish large uuan-

quarts can conveniently bo boiled at

While tue foregoing figures give

II is the duty OF these experts to con-
vince that coke Is particularly valuable
for use In furnaces, low pressure steam

any house heating appliance where other
tuel has been used. The experts also
point out the special advantages of coke
handling, cleaniiness and freedom from
smoke, SCOT, dirt or dust.
In this connection definition OF genu-
inc gas coke may not be out OF place.
Coke is simply the very best grade of
soft coal after all the gas smoke, dirt,

gas works

While coke costs on an average OF
twenty-five cents more Il ton than the

third farther and consequently saves
nearly one-third in cost The Utah Gas
