HOW TO EFFECT
BIC SAVING IN
!. BLACK DIAMONDS

While many women are under the
tyranny of the janitor, still others
glory in our shame Of being a house
holder and have to do more than
theoretically tackle the coal bin. Even
If we have a man to feed the furnace
and remove the ashes, it might save
US some pennies to become better ac-
quainted with some Of the coal savers
on the market. Il 9.
First among these may be cited a
cheat controller" This may bee allied
the watchdog of the coal bin, as by
regulating the heat it prevents un-
necessary burning Of coal or new
building Of the fire because through
carelessness it was allowed to die out.
1t has a clock attachment, which can
be set at desired time. For instance
1t can be set an hour earlier than the
rising time, with the temperature set
for 70. When you awake instead of
finding a chilly, frigid- house the
house is warm and comfortable, due
to the magic Of the heat controller.
With coal at it's present price a
ton it is wise to have the best kind
of sitter. Various rotary" styles
are on the market, which sift the
chaff from the wheat, SO to speak,
and permit the slightly burned Goals
to be saved, when they can be used
again to bank the fire. These sift-
ers come in various sizes and consist
of a hopper fitted to can. The hop
per is equipped with wire mesh, and
turning the handle sits the ashes, but
retains the larger partly burned
Jumps for second use.
One of the conveniences for the
househo Older who has to buy a GUAM
tity Of coal is the right kind of coal
window or chute. One Of the most
practical on the market is a COM
bined window and chute. The parts
are made of strong metal. the window
protected by a wire mesh. The parts
Of the window are so made that open
ing the window opens the chute with
in, which is attached to the win
dow and part of it. This relieves the
need Of extra chutes.a The window
locks automatically when it is closed,
thus being burglar proof. It saves
coal being scattered at the entrance
of the window and is SO made that
lit seems an integral part of the house
and cellar when Installed. -
No matter what kind Of heating
system Is used in your home, the
boiler must be 'jacketed'' with some
kind Of asbestos material. These
jackets can be bought for a regular
boiler, such as Is frequently attached
to a kitchen range. The Jacket laces
up and can be most easily attached.
Special sized boilers can have the

|, Within ten minutes after an appli-
cation of Danderine you can not find a
single trace Of dandruff or falling hair
and your scalp will not itch, but what
will please you most will be after a
few weeks use, when you see new
hair, fine and downy at first-yes
really new hair-growing all over the
scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately
doubles the beauty of your hair. No
difference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten cloth with
Danderine and carefully draw I it
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time. The effect is amaz-
ing-your hair will be light, fluffy and
wavy, and have an appearance of
abundance; an Incompatible lustre,
softness and luxuriance.
Get 25 cent bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine from any drug store or
toilet counter, and prove that your
hair is as pretty and soft as any that
it has been neglected or injured-you
surely can have beautiful hair and lots
of it if you will just try a little Dan

TODAY'S POEM }
HOPE AND SING.

Speak low, speak little; who may sing
While yonder cannon thunders
boom?
Watch, shuddering, what each das
may bring,
Nor "pipe amid the crack of doom. :"
And yet--the pines sing overhead,
The robins by the alder pool,
The bees about the garden bed,
The children dancing home from
school.
And ever at the loom Of Birth,
The mighty Mother weaves and
sings,
She weaves-fresh robes for mangled
earth;
She sings-fresh hopes for despe-
rate things. 81
and thou, too; if through Natures

Some strain of music touch thine
ears,
Accept and share that soothing BALM
And sing, though choked with pity

He has for centuries looked upon the
