HOW TO GET BEST
RESULTS FROM FUEL

Here's how to burn fuel to get the
best results, according to a bulletin
issued by the University of Tennes,
see:
Fuel may be saved by % burning
each pound in such manner that q
maximum amount of heat will be de.
livered to the room; (2) by retaining
the heat delivered to the room for as
long a period as possible, and 81 by
maintaining the rooms at a tempera.
Iture sufficient for comfort, and moi
oyerheating.
How TO Burn Fuel Efficiently
Three conditions are necessary fol
complete combustion, sufficient air
thorough mixing of air with fuel, anC
high temperature.
For burning coal, Is pounds OF
air should be supplied for each pound
of fuel burned. To admit more means
that an unnecessary amount of air
| is being heated only to pass up the
chimney with a heavy loss; to admit
Iiess results in incomplete combustion.
| Not only should just Is pounds of air
be admitted, but it must also be init
nately mixed with the combustible
material. The temperature of the
FIRE must be high enough so that all
gases will be burned.
For burning wood not so much air
is necessary as for coal. Fourteen
pounds should be sufficient, but the
problem of admitting the proper
amount is more difficult with wood,
fol no uniform bed is possible as with
coal or coke.
For securing the best results in
combustion, keep the following in
mind:
1-rWith coal or coke, keep an even
bed Of fuel over the entire CRATE.
2-+Keep the fuel bed free from clink-
eFs, but do not disturb the fuel bed
too often by poking.
S--Fire at regular intervals, fire light
ly and frequently and avoid putting on
q thick covering Of green fuel.
4-Shake the CRATES only when neces-
sary. Excessive shaking allows toe
much fuel to dro9 into the ash pit.
81 Keep ash pit clean. A full ash pit
cuts off air supply, impairs COM
bustion and causes overheating
G. grates with warning incident there
to.
g. Keep all heating surfaces clean. A
thin coating of SCOT on the heating
surface means that many more
pounds of fuelwill be necessary to
,sget results equal to those of clean
4lrface.
IRA good supply of fuel should be
kept in the fire pot, but do not fill |
too full if the fuel is fine, as it will |
shut off the air supply and produce
incomplete combustion.

The 36th Department Encamp-

city Of Covington. last week. The
members Of our local post who at
tended were: Prof. l.. v. Dodge,

son Wheeler. The members of the
Woman's Relief Corps in attendance
were. Mrs. Mary II. Dodge. Mrs. W.
Frances Hayes and Mrs. Alma Cab
bard. A very harmonious Encamp-
ment and Relief Corps Convention
are reported.
Professor and Mrs. Dodge both
spoke at the public campfire and
they also installed the officers for
their respective organizations. Mrs.
Hayes was elected Department
Chaplain for the ensuing year Mrs.
Dodge is the Department Press Cor
respondent. As physicians are be-
coming scarce in the Kentucky g.
A. r.. and as the requirements for
the Medical Director do not require
medical knowledge. but only the
ability 10 compile the various post
medical reports. il has become the
custom To select layman for that
position. Comrade VIM. NJ. Hayes
was chosen for the coming year.
BY unanimous vote. the Encamp-
ment accepted the invitation 10 hold
it, next meeting in Berea. This
probably will occur directly after
the College Commencement Of 1919.
There is every reason TO believe
that the old soldiers will receive a
royal welcome and that perfect har-
mony will prevail in the G.. A. n.
