MAKE FOR A CLEAN CITY
USE DOMESTIC COKE
Goes One-thlrd Farther and Costs No
More Than the Best Soft Coal.

Domestic coke is genuine gas house
coke. made from SWastika lump coal
after all the gas smoke, tar. dirt and
SCOT have been removed at the gas
works
It is refined coal. still retaining the
heating value, all that really counts,
but without the many Disadvantages.
1t Is a perfectly clean, smOkeless
fuel, easy to handle, burns readily, yet
holds a fire for long periods
1t takes 1900 pounds of coal to make
1000 pounds Il toni of coke.
Since the bulk and heat units remain
practically the same. you can readily
see that a ton OF coke takes up as much
space in your bin as a ton and a hat
of coal, and viii go just as fer if you
use it as we direct, hence the actual
money saving in addition to having a
smOkeless fuel.
Domestic coke as it comes from the
retOrts is particularly valuable for use
in furnaces, low pressure steam boilers
hot water heating systems. or any
house heating appliance where coal
has beer used.
Its special advantages are great
economy. lghtness and convenience in
handling; cleanliness and freedom from
smoke SCOT, dirt and dust.
Its use absolutely does away with all
cleaning of flUes and chimneys. There
are no foul gases to so through the en-
tire house; no SCOT OF dust to bIacken
furniture or curtains; not fuel waste or
sitting of ashes, and the fire can easily
be handled by woman If the man of
the house is away.
We are anxious to have every Gus
toner get the best results with coke
For this reason we have special rep
resentatlVes, thoroughly experienced
whom we are glad to send without
charge to instruct YOU or your fireman
how to burn it properly to get all the
results we claim for this wonderful
fuel

Peculiar Shade Of Green Is Calico
"Absinthe" by Those Who Have

wear. A costume of this sort has just
been finished for bride of the month
Absinthe chiffon velvet is the mate.
rial and the suit includes a graceful
draped skirt and the most coquettish
of coats, short enough at the front to
reveal the black satin draped girdle
but falling at the back in long tails
to the knee. These tails slope grad

and give the coat a graceful cutaway
effect, viewed from the side. Enor.

HEALTH AND BEAUTY.

Pineapple is good for indigestion
the juice containing a digestive fluid
similar to pepsin.
II you wish to preserve your teeth
take all medicines containing acids
through a glass tube.
Almond oil and ianolin in equal
parts rubbed into the eyebrows will
stimulate their growth
For greasy. oily skin. put some
astringent. a little alcohol or toilet
vinegar. into the wash water.
Honey is excellent in nearly all
throat and lung affections. For a
sharp tickling throat. cough a tea
spoonful taken every few moments
Will quickly allay the irritation.
The habit of biting the nails may be
conquered by will power in an older
person, but with children cut the nails
very close and dip the ends of the
fingers in quinine or little extract
Of Quassia.

Tea Gown RemIndera.

The fiowered silks can be utilized
with great charm for making the neg
ligee, but care should be taken to pro
cure those that do not crush.
Charmeuse, crepe de chine. or voile
of a plain and delicate coloring is a
satisfactory choice. Two or even
three materials may be blended in
one toilette.
Then there is chiffon to remember.
One delightful model is made of rose
petal pink chiffon over a loose under
robe of silk of the same tone. The
robe is quite without trimming. save
for tiny nowerets made of the chiffon
bordering the turned back fronts of
the outer dress. which looks very
much like coat with train.
