American housewife, like the soldiers
at the front, may help win the war
on her own firing line in the kitchen
by saving coal, is explained in a num-
Der of general precepts That have just
been issued by the Bureau of Mines,
Department of the Interior, and which
ought to be tackled up in every home
at least for the period of the war.
Military Orders. f
The Bureau of Mines gives the fol.
lowing military orders to the house.
wives:
Careless use of coal in kitchen
stoves and household furnaces is very
wasteful. Only a small part Of the heat
in the fuel may thus be usefully EN-.
ployed. Be sure the heat is doing what
you want it to do rather than need
lessly heating the chimney.
III Buy at Home.
Buy coal mined as near home as
possible, even if it requires a little
more trouble; and learn to use it.
This win tighten the load ON trans
portation systems.
Buy full wagon load If you can
This reduces labor and cost of deliv-
cry.
Be sure the smoke passages in the
stove are clean Keep them clean. If
the scraper made for the purpose is
lost, get another " yE@s
Cut Burning Hours. s.
Reduce the hours OF running the
stove as much as possible.
.Fireless Cookers may help reduce
the time of keeping fire. ~
Running the range to heat tank
water only is not economical. Be spar
ing of hot water in such cases.
Break the Jumps of coal to sizes no
larger than eggs. 70 d
4 = ~ How to Fire. e
When the stove must run some
hours a full fire.box carefully controll-
ed by hampers is more economical
than fires so small that the CRATE is
only partly covered.
With q big fire little air is needed
over the coal as well rs through it.
II soft coal is used, allow just enough
air to come through the damper over
the fire to make the flames so short
they will not reach the second row
of saove lids.
= Close the top draft damper when
the flames get shorter than at first
row of stove lids. %:.- <~
How to Keep Fire. .'<
When it is necessary to carry a fire
over night, fll>the fire box with coal,
cover over tightly with ashes and
close all hampers. To start the fire,
open the darnper below the CRATE and
the one in the stove pipe. Break up
the coke in the fire box with a poker,
rafting the ash into the ash box.
= Sift the Ashes.
Save what coal and coke you can
from the ashes and use when you
have a good fire. ~3
When the fire is well started, close
the darnper in the smoke pipe as much
as you can to maintain the fire you
need. Open the damper to prevent
smoking while putting in fresh coal.
Damper control is the secret of eco
nomical heating. y

recently formed 0skaioosa war body

Red Cross organization takes its
place along with Oskaloosa's leading
commercial industries and estab-
lishments. Each month the Oska'
loosa Chapter uses $1,000 worth Of

surgical dressings, etc Materials
for the twenty or more auxiliary Or
