Impressive Juggling
Has Paralyzing End

Washington, July 3.-The Post
master General. Mr.. Burleson. has
brought about some very impressive
economic readjustments in the poul-
try business. through his Juggling
of rural routes, telephone and tele-
graphic facilities, and other govern
ment undertakings, according to
letter received by Representative
Gould, of New York, from one of
his constituents. The letter is from
a lady who has conducted a modest
mail order poultry business for a
number of years in the vicinity of
Clyde, y. Y. Heretofore this has
been her postal, telephone and eX-
press address, and the business
thrived. But since Mr.. Burleson's
experiments commenced, she has
had to notify her customers that all
telephone calls to her must be sent
through Seneca Falls; her post Office
address, through a shifting of rural
routes. has been changed to Water
loo. while her express package ad-
dress is Clyde.

details of the military forces, plans
have been announced by Adjutant
General Frank d. Beary whereby Of
hcers desiring to serve in the or
ganizationed militia can be listed.
This plan was decided upon at
conference held by the Adjutant
General with Major General w. G..
Price, Jr., commander of the new
Guard and Brigadier Generals G. c.
Richards and Z. c. Shannon.
1t is hoped that the division will
be ready for organization by Janu-
ary l, 1920. and it is the belief of
the officers that a large proportion
of the officers who served with the
Keystone Division and with other
divisions made up of Pennsylvanians
in Europe will offer their services to-
gether with officers of the present
Reserve Militia.
The general plan decided upon
contemplates the tentative selection
of officers for various regimental and
company units and after this sched-
ule is arranged to await authority
from the militia bureau to proceed
with the recruiting of organizations.
General Beary says that officers
desiring to become connected with
the new Guard should send written
application to General Price at the
Squadron army, Thirty-second and
Lancaster avenue, Philadelphia. and
give short statements of their serv-
ice.

SCOT CAN BE REMOVED FROM
FURNACES AND CHIMNEYS BY
USE OF ORDINARY SALT

In bulletin sent out by the Unit
ed States Fuel Administration for
Minnesota, salt is recommended to
remove SCOT in heating plants burn
ing soft coal. County Fuel Admin
istrator George D. LaBar received the
bulletin and Brainerd industrial es-
Adjustments and householders gener-
ally are going to give the method a
trial. e.:
Common salt, either of the table
variety or fine grain fresh salt (such
as is used in making ice cream1 has
been. found effective in removing
SCOT and tar from the heating sur
faces, fiues, smoke pipes or chimneys
of hot water, hot air or steam plants
in residences or apartment buildings.
For residence of eight or ten
rooms, proceed as follows:
Get the fire into good condition
so that the fuel bed is bright or in
'candescent and on the hottest part OF
the fire spread about two or three
handfulls of salt; then close the flre
door and open the drafts. The heat

ing plant will Immediately become
filled with dense, white fumes which
will penetrate to every part of the
furnace, smoke fues and chimney.
and in from one-haf to on hour the
effects of the salt will disappear.
Then brighten up the fire again and
repeat the operation two or three
times until all heating surfaces have
been entirely cleaned.
Later one application of the salt
treatment once or twice a week, will
keep the heating surfaces in clean
and efficient condition. =. III.
The technical action will not at
tack iron or be in any way detrimen-
tai to your heating plant. ~
For larger or smaller heating
plants, increase or decrease the
amount of salt proportionately.
I. One of the most difficult problems
which conservation engineers en-
counter in the burning of bituminous
coal in both steam boilers and house
heating furnaces, is the removal of
the excessive deposits of SCOT and
tarry substances on the cold heating
surfaces of the boilers. This tar or
SCOT has an insulating value far in
excess of any commercial insulator.
One thirty-second of an inch of SCOT
on a boiler reduces the transmission
of heat approximately 10 per cent and
Is per cent for 1-16 of an inch.
By using salt it is entirely feas-
ible to remove SCOT without the ne
cessity of letting down the boiler, or
additional expenditure of labor. The
fire is put into good condition with a
substantial body Of hot fuel. Com
mon salt, previously dried, is then
thrown or sprinkled onto the mean
descent fuel bed in a quantity de-
pending entirely on the size Of the
furnace. In the case Of a household
furnace, a pound at time is ample,
in the case of power plant boiler,
four or five scoops full may be re-
quired. The hampers are kept open
so as to maintain the furnace temper
allure and the salt is allowed to re-
main until the fumes have entirely
disappeared. 49, ~.
The heating surfaces are cleaned to
the utmost corners. The boilers can
be cleaned when in service without
the use of special equipment, extra
labor or interruption to the use Of the
boiler
The Dispatch has but one comment
to make and that is, don't take a
Monday to clean the. furnace. Have
heart for your neighbours washline.
