Reclamation Of All Waste
to Aid Fuel Situation.

Thousands Of tons OF coal can be
reclaimed and proportionate dollars
saved In fuel bills IL the house
holders of the nation will adopt the
simple, homely method of Sitting
their ashes. About five bucket
fuls OF coal are thrown away in the
ashes each week by the wasteful
householder Each bucketful weighs
about nineteen pounds, and fresh nut
coal sold by the bucketful costs about
16 cents each. II this coal is reclaimed
by sitting the ashes, 1t would repre-
sent saving of so cents a week and
conserve just so much coal for the
dealer TO supply other househoders.
The United States Fuel Administra-
ton gives the following directions for
retaining coal from ashes:
How to sft Ashes.
Shake the sitter until all the dust.
Ike particles fan through. You will
then have left In your SITTER a mix
ture OF black and whlte-coyered pieces
OF coal and probably a few clinkers
and pieces Of stone.
Pick out and throw away all stone.
DO not throw away cllnkers unless
they are thoroughly burned. Coal

again.
White chunks generally contain a
large amount OF carbon, though their |
covering might be soft and have the
appearance OF ashes. DO not throw
them away.
Coal thus recovered should be
spread on the ground and sprinkled |
with water. This will open the seams
In the coal, and when II is placed In
the heater the FIRE will reach and ie-
Mite the unused carbon.

Reclaimed coal should generally be
used on red hot FIRE. although II can

PLAY THEIR STUDIES
Novel Plan of Instructor Kerr at
Topeka High School.


Miss Rosetta Kerr, teacher of the
English class at Topeka High school,
has evolved 2 plan by which the stu
dents of that class imbibe knowledge
by playing. The class has been divided
into five groups, each group putting
on a show that is educational in ma
ture, and along the line of their
studies.
One group has recently given IA
nous sea stories with the proper set
ting and atmosphere. Grouped in the
Prov of a boat, contrived with some
ingenuity, the students in that group
told sea tales that have won places in
English for their literary value.
Another group has told ghost stories
to-, the shivering class. with all the
frffis Poe was the favorite author
with this group.
Four soldiers in the trenches told
stories of the north, south, east and
west, on one of these occasions, and
a group of girls supposed to be in
quarantine for influenza, told stories
of different sorts, principally classic
love stories, at another time.
This morning, the last group told
tales Of famous operas. They were
supposed to be snow-bound at a camp
on the side of Pixies Peak and were
wearing camp clothes, toasting marsh
mallows and telling the stories to pass
away the time. AS each story was re-
lated, music of the opera was played
on a graphaphone. The operas given
were Carmen, The Juggler of Notre
Dame, The Cricket on the Hearth, and
two Tales From Hoffman,

WOUNDED THREE TIMES
Charles Pressman Tells of His Ex-
periences in Trenches

Pvt. Charles Pressman, who went
to France with the seth division, and
who was wounded and sent back to
America. is at home on a ten-day
furlo from Camp Sheridan.
Pressman was seriously wounded
three times, the last time being Just
two weeks before the signing of the
armistice. His left elbow is stiff as the
result of being shot with a machine
gun bullet.
Being able to speak German, Polish
ana Hungarian, FRESHMAN was always
with his lieutenant on scouting expe-
ditiOrs. and in that way probably saw
more of the enemy than the average
soldier.
He tells of carrying a wounded Ger
man to a dressing station. The Ger
man, true to type, pulled out a hand
grenade, and only the promptness
with which Pressman used his bayo-
net prevented the Hun from getting
him.
Speaking of German women man
ming machine guns FRESHMAN said:
There were lots of women in the fir
ing lines. 1 know, for 1 have captured
them and talked with them"
Like most of the returned soldiers
he is loathe to talk about his adven-
lures, saying he would rather forget
them.
