Fix the Furnace Now.

The prudent man Will have his fur
mace put in thorough order at the pres
ent time. Letting 1t 60 till fall would
be rash at a time when labor is so
scarce as now and when there are sure
TO be so many other people anxious to
have their furnaces put In order
There was considerable complaint last
winter of the quality Of some Of the
coal, which wns explained by the sto-
ries received from the mining regions
Of the working over Of heaps at the
pit heads, some Of which represented
the accumulation Of many years. This
winter the coal may contain fewer
impurities, but necessity for getting
the greatest possible return In service
for every pound burned VIII be obvi.
GUS in view Of the rule that consumers
are allowed TO purchase only a per.
centage Of the total amount they used
for heating their houses a year ago.
A furnace that is out of order will
waste q great deal Of coal. No one
can afford to have that sort Of thing
going on at the present time.

Useful Insects.

In addition to the insects which
help man by their warfare against his
enemies and those that are useful to

ers that serve useful purposes In a
commercial way. Most familiar OF
these are the honey and wax obtained
from the bee. There is a Chinese bug
which secretes a kind Of grease on
trees. This hardens into wax and is

BULGAR|ANS IN
RETREAT ALONG
130.M|LE FRONT
Allies Gain Road Connecting
Two Enemy Armies and
Vardar River; Serbs
Capture 30 Guns.

London, Sept. 25.-The whole of
the Monastir-P -Prilep- -Gradsko road,
connecting up the two Bulgarian
armies, is now in the hands of the
allies, according to news received
here tonight. The allied cavalry
is within 10 miles of the second
line extending between Veles, Ishtip
and Prilep.
The enemy is fighting hard to
obtain possession of these roads,
also in the sector west of Prilep,
and it seems to be race for Uskub,
as the allied forces are as near to
the city as the Bulgarians.
The allies are now in possession
on the whole course of the Vardar
river from Gievgeli to Gradsko. To-
nights reports say that the Serbians
have taken 81 guns in addition to
those already reported.
The Bulgarians are now retreating
on a total front estimated at about
1870 miles, the second Bulgarian
army, under General Feodoroff, be-
ing in retreat before the British and
Greeks on a front extending from
the Vardar to the Struma. A Brit
ish invasion Of Bulgaria seems
likely and the Bulgarians are re-
ported to be fortifying the old road
from Fobrovo to Strumitsa, which
the British cavalry is approaching.
