who manages the furnace in his pretty sub
urban home. II have made an important
discovery lately. or. at least. did not make
the discovery myself but a friend of mine
did. l have tried it out and proved its
worth, to my own satisfaction. Now. If you
have ever tried to run furnace--or a kit
chen stove. either, you know that there are
almost always a great many clinkers which
clog up the crate and have to be removed.
These are usually thrown away as worth
less. But they need not all be discarded :;
some of them may be used, if little time
is spent in preparing them. There are two
kinds of clinkers. the smooth kind, pieces
of stone which have become blackened by
association with real coal, but which cannot
be burned however hard one may try, and
rough kind which consists Of pieces of real
coal which, however, does not burn readily.
Any one who takes care of a furnace or a
coal stove knows these varieties and Is able
to distinguish between them
What do IS to separate the rough
clinkers, the real coal, from the smooth
clinkers which stone. These latter
throw away, for they of use at all.
Then put the rough clinkers In pail and
pour over them a strong brine-I use the
coarse ice-cream salt for it, otherwise il
would be far too expensive an operation
and let them soak for about twenty-fo
hours. By that time the brine is pretty we'll
absorbed and when I throw these salted
clnkers, you might call them, on the fire.

much work and 1t does help to save coal
which is surely worthwhile occupation

Plan of Sharing Smoke Money
With the Boys ''Over
There a Success

The double r-split" slogan Of the tobacco
fund of the overseas committee Of the Emer-
gency Aid has begun to appeal to the men
who use tobacco. Many have started TO

Of the Paris Soldiers and Sailors Club, in
his report to the committee, pays the FED
Cross high compliment for its splendid sys-
tenn of transport. Nearly all OF the Ener-
gency Aid tobacco goes to the men at. the
front and in the evacuation hospitals
The committee also announces that the
transport arrangements and shipping facli-
ties on this side of the Atlantic have been
80 much improved that hereafter there will
be very little delay in getting the much-de-
sired tobacco across.
The melting pot for the benent OF the To-
bacco fund is still maintained at headauar-
ters lS3S Walnut street, where the puonc
is invited to send its discarded silver. jewery
or ,rinkets to be converted into comforting
smokes for the men who are lighting our
battles. ,,..-
