HOW TO RUN YOUR FURNACE
Saving of Coal and Better Service Viii
Be Had II These instructions
Are Followed.

There's lesson for every households
er in the pamphlet on how to save coal
just given out here by the anthracite
bureau Of information. Listen:
Don't put in too much coal or too
little
Don't crowd it above the top Of the
friedrich lining in range, cylinder stove
or hot-air furnace.
Fill the fuel space twice day in
winter weather, heaping the coal
slightly in the center.
Don't add small quantities of coal
several times a day, with attendant
shakings. Shake the CRATE only twice
a day before fresh coal is put In and
stop when bright light shows under
meath.
Don't leave the feed door open; it
coOis the heating surfaces. 10 check
draft, open the check damper in the
stovepipe and shut the ashpit door.
See that the coal is properly cons
suned and not shaken through the
crate to pass out with the ashes.
Keep the ashpit empty.
Don't use the wrong size of coal;
it's uneconomical.
If right size and quality of coal are
used no ash sitter is required.

terest you to know that this is due to
the scarcity of argol, from which il is
made, and this in turn is due to the

France and Italy in the past year.
Nearly all the argol produced is inn
ported from those two countries. Ar

PROPER WAY TO SMOKE MEAT
Soft Wood Should Not Be Used in the
Process, for 4 Reason That Will
Be Apparent.

The proper smoking Of cured pork
aids materially its keeping qualities
and improves the favor of the meat.
Brine-cured meat is ready to DO
smoked after it has been In the brine
from five to seven weeks. After the
meat is removed from the brine 1t
should be soaked in lukewarm wa
ter, or in water at a temperature OF
go degrees. for about "a hours. This
diSsOlves the salt from the outside OF
the meat. II the meat is smoked
without washing coating Of salt is
found on the outside of the smoked
meat, which detracts materially from
its appearance. After the meat has
soaked for period of about "a hours
it should be taken out of the vessel
and hung up on racks where the water
can drain away or evaporate.
When thoroughly dry the meat
should be hung up in the sm0kehouse,
the pieces near the ceiling and at
short distance from one another so
that all parts will be uniformly ex-
posed to the smoke.
The selection of the fuel is of great
importance. Soft woods should never
be used, as they give Off too much
carbon which will be deposited on the
outside of the meat, making it sOoty
and giving it too-dark color. Green
hickory, maple or other hardwoods
should be selected. Corncobs make
an excellent substitute.
A steady smoke for from SO to 4S
hours is sufficient for mildly smoked
meat. If the meat is to be kept until
late in the summer, it is well to smoke
it for about three days. The fire
should be kept low SO that the mini
mum of heat is given off. When too
much heat is given off the fat on the
meat will melt and run over the meat,
causing it to become streaky. Meat,
when smoked sufficiently, should be of
an amber color.

Maximum Number OF Destroyers viii
Be Built To Deal With Submarine
Menace-Plants May Be Lo-
Gated In interior.

Washington.-Pres Wilson ap-
proved the estimates Of the navy de-
partment for the expenditure of an ad-
ditional s550.000, 900 for new destroy
ers to combat German submarines
Provision will be sought to expend
$225, 100000 OF the total appropriation
on construction or purchase and ex-
pansion OF engine and shipbuilding
plants to provide the facilities needed.
The present destroyer building capac.
ity of the country is fully engaged. To
reach new labor centers 1t is indicated
that the new engine building plants
proposed will be placed in the interior.
The department has never made
public the number of destroyers now
building nor the additional numbers
contemplated. 1t is known, however,
that when vessels under construction
have all been completed, which will
be during 1918. the navy will have a
destroyer force comparable to that of
any power while the new project will
give the United States the strongest
destroyer flotilla in the world.
Navy designers have already worked
out standard type of destroyer. The
new boats probably will not differ ma
terially from the latest 35-knot oil
burning type. They will be better than
any at present in commission. They
will be faster and more seaworthy and
give more room for their crews The
new standardized designs, It is under
stood, include recommendation as to
equipment made by Vice Admiral Sims
and his officers. based on the actual
experience of American destroyers in
the North sea.

ULTIMATE BENEFITS WILL BIZ
DERIVED FROM NATIONAL CON-
FERENCE OF DELEGATES.
LITTLE skEPTICIsM SHOWN
Social Democrats Fear That Unity
VIII Only Be Temporary at This
Tims-ReorsanixatIon Of Army
10 Badly Needed.

Moscow.-A spirit Of confidence in
the ultimate benefit to accrue from
the national conference held here is
expressed by representatives OF the
various groups which participated.
Their hopes are based ON no definite
policy enunciated or measures adopt
ed, but upon the spirit OF conciliation
observed among the factions and q
clearer understanding growing out OF
the discussion of the governmental
problems.
Frof Paul Milukoff, spokesman OF
the constitutional democrats, ex-
pressed skepticism as to the perma-
nent benefit to be derived, saying:
"The routes of the several groups
seem to have approached one an
other, but am afraid that this is only
temporary. A certain unity seems
possible. The declaration Of the So
cialists, as well as the non-Socialists,
promises some concessions, but will
these materialize?
IN. Tseretelli former minister of
the interior) expressed desire to fol-
low course leading to union and col
laboration. How far this desire will
be shown in facts can be learned only
in the future"
M. Tseretelli, who Is 4 prominent
member Of the council of deputies,
said:
There is bridge between the bour-
geoisie and the Socialists. How strong
1t will be depends upon how far the
wealthy classes help the government
to realize the reforms contemplated
The conference gave positive results,
which have united so far as is possible
the vital forces Of the country"
Gen. Alexieff, the former comman-
der-in-chief said:
'Postponement of the reorganixa-
tion OF the army threatens the most
serious consequences In the near fu-
ture. Serious attention must be paid

SPECIAL SESSION WATTS
GOV. BiL5O WILL NOT CALL LEG
IsLAJURE.; UNTIL TAX cont
MISSION REPORTS.
Date For Extra Session Waits Until
Assessment Returns Are In and Re-
ports of State Tax Commission Are
Filed.

Jackson.-Gov. Bilbo has not deter.
mined on the date for the special ses-
sion of the legislature, nor has he de.
cided just when he will issue the call,
but 1t is supposed 1t will be some time
In September, Il have not determined
on these dates he said, "for the SIM
ple reason that do not know and can
not tell until the state tax commission
finishes with its work on the county
assessment rolls. The counties are
coming up very well on this proposed
100 per cent assessment, and 1t looks
as II they will all fall in line, and that
the average fixed by the commission
will be satisfactory in the end, though
an effort is being made to prejudice
the minds of the people in the hill
counties by charging that in one or
more OF the delta counties the average
value is made ridiculously low 1t is
not explained that this low valuation
is due to the fact that half or three
fourths of the land in these delta coun.
ties is overflowed land and worth prac-
tically nothing. 1t may be that some
lands in such counties will be assessed
at $50 to $50 per acre. while the aver
age would be about s12 per acre.
"ln this connection" said the goverl
nor, 81 notice that the railroad COM
mission has just about doubled the as
sessments on the railroads. That is as
it should be, and just what | asked
the commission to do. 1t would not be
right to make the individual pay on :
100 per cent valuation unless the, cor
porations are to be required to do the
same"
