Suggests Washing Coal.

Des Moines, Sept. 11.-Special: The
washing of coal at the mines is sug-
gested by Harry McNutt, smoke in
spector, as a method which will help
reduce the smoke nuisance in Des
Moines. He says that by washing the
fuel much of the sulphur and waste
which is now sold with the coal would
be eliminated and the fuel would be
cleaner when put on the fires. The
washing of coal is now being done at
the mines near Oskaloosa," said Nc
Mutt. I'VE are watching the expert
ment with much interest, for we be-
lieve that it will be of great benefit
in a number of ways. The washing
takes away much of the waste which
causes fires to smoke. Then, elimin-
ating waste will benefit the consumer,
as he will get better value for his
money. Probably the operators will
adopt the washing plan if the results
from the Oskaloosa experiment prove
all that is claimed for it."

Iowa can furnish Immediately four
