THE 'sPAPER LOG"
SUBSTITUTE FOR
COALLESS DAYS

II you have no coal, burn newspa-
pers. That's what many families in
Harrisburg are doing. They have
adopted the newspaper log" and
they say it is great. Like many an
other smart idea, this one came from
Yankeeland originally, Boston solon
being the discoverer. Scores of en-
terprising Harrisburg families who
have open CRATES have been using the
newspaper log for days. House
wives have found that it can be put
into a cooking stove when they want
an extra hot fire for baking or when
the whistle is about to blow and the
breakfast is late.
Here's the way to make the log:
Spread five sheets of newspaper
folded once, on a table, with folded
end toward you, and begin to roll in
a fairly tight roll. Before the first
section is completely rolled insert a
second section. Add newspaper until
roll from two to three inches in
