HINTS
LEWIS WAY Be SAFE
FAMILY STILL HOPING THAT
SOLDIER son, LEE, IS
LIVING.

Soon after the report came that
Lee c. Lewis, son of Fred w. and
Ada j. Lewis of Brighton Park, had
died from wounds received in action,
his parents took the matter up
through the Parents association ana
Judge Chadwick caused cablegram
to be sent to Dean Priest at Parie,
who represents the association in
France, asking him to investigate
and get details.
Sunday last cablegram was re-
ceived in reply, as follows:
Lewis death unofficial but almost
certain. Letter follows"
The family have not received any
thing except the telegram and let
ters from the government in regard
to his death, and as there have been
so many errors in government re-
ports they have never given up hope
that he may still be alive and this
cablegram makes them still more
hopeful that better news may yet be
received.
Immediately after the receipt OF
the telegram announcing his death
letters were written to the Y. M. c.
A. and the chaplain on duty with
the 47th Regiment, to his major for
whom he was adjutant, and also to
the information division of the ma
tional Red Cross. asking for details
of his death, so. in time it is certain
that full information will be received
and his death either proved or dis
proved. His family are awaiting
something definite one way or an
other before they acknowledge the
many letters and messages of sym
pathy they have received.
1t is a terrible strain on the youns
wife and she, as we'll as the brother
and the parents of the brave lieu
tenant and his many friends, car
not believe that Lee has really gone
beyond return.
1t will take time to get word from
these sources. but his family think:
even a long wait will be better thar
to give up hope while there is still
a possibility that he may be alive.

HOW TO USE
BUCKWHEAT COAL
Fuel Administrator Jones Tells Ev-
erybody How to Handle 1t

Fuel Administrator Jones Tells Ev-
erybody How to Handle 1t
A Washington despatch says: "It
has been demonstrated that in using
stove CT larger sizes of anthracite
coal in TIE larger sizes Of heating
plants, whether they are hot-air OF
low-pressure steam or hot water, it is
not only possible but it is beneficial
to use a II Iloportion of No. / buck
wheat IN some cases involving the
use of egg and broken coal, it has
been found that as high as so per
cent can be used to the best sort of
advantage"
The larger the coal with which the
buckwhnAt is used and the stronger
the draft the greater the proportion
of "Buck" that can be used. In
many plants, buck can De used eXclu-
sively, a. least in moderate weather,
and a mixture of Is to 20 per cent of
No. / 6ucnwheat and bituminous coal
can be burned successfully. 1t must
not be mixed with the coarser an
thracite5. 1t must be used as top
dressing.
In furnaces, start the fire with the
larger coal in the usual manner and
afte1$it is we'll under way spread the
buckWhea, over the center, being
careful to leave the sides and back OF
the fire uncovered and free for draft
Do not dose furnace until flame ap-
pears On ton of the coal. In moderate
weather buck can be used each time
the fre-pct is coaled. Weather con
ditions w.ll affect the amount OF
buck thu can be used, and especially
when banking at night. At least 25
per cent OF buckwheat can be burned
and by careful study and experiment
it may be possible to increase the
amount 70 30 per cent OF more. Learn
the possibilities of your heating sys-
TEN in tbs direction, and you will
save money. No. buck, when used
as stated, tends to hold the fire and to
aid in the proper and economic com
bustion of the fuel.
In stoves and ranges, lay folded
paper oves the CRATE, leaving space
for draft q. the front, then start g
shallow tire with the coarser coal as
usual When the fire is hot, spread
buckwhea5 to uniform depth of one
OF two inches, leaving the sides un-
covered and free for draft. The
charred paper will stop the fine Goa
from Sitting through the CRATE. Small
amounts nf coal should be added as
the fire gels under way. Do not at
tempt to fill the fre-pot at once,
When shaking the fire, leave some
ashes on tie CRATES to prevent the
fine coal from going through to the
ash-pit.
Special CRATES are not necessary.
