Your Furnace Is One of Your
Best Friends; Take Care of 1t

Coal is high and has been all win
ter, though T. ]. Kelso and Guthrie
& Son, Mexico dealers say that they
are not buying and keeping in stockas
much as usual because there are indi-
cations that the price will drop soon.
The cbal consume was forced to cut
down on his fuel during the war and
has learned ways of economizing, so
that his coal pile does not dwindle
too quickly.
One Of the mean Of reducing the
heating bill for the winter is to have
the house stripped in the fall. This
is done by having strips of metal in
serted on the stills or doors and in all
the cracks around windows, which
keeps out the cold air that comes in
in that way. 1t is estimated that the
second year after the house is strip
ped, at least two tons of coal a win
ter will be saved. Other methods of
keeping out the cold are the using of
double windows, extra radiator and
heating drums in the stove pipe.
This winter has been unusually
mild so far land this has cut down the
coal bill. A large number of poor
people have been kept from suffering
this winter because so much coal has
not been necessary.
Another means Of keeping down the
coal bill, If one has a furnace, is to
attend to it at regular intervals,
which will keep the heat regular. By
letting the fire go down, more coal is
necessary before the furnace becomes
heated again. In mild weather, the
fire can be kept thinner and less coal
used by allowing a few inches Of
ashes to remain on the CRATES. But in
cold weather, to keep the fire going,
the CRATE should be free Of ashes. By
being sure that the heat is doing what
you want it to do and not n~eedlessly
heating unoccupied spaces of the
chimney and by understanding the
way to keep a fire in the furnace OF
stove, the amount of coal used ear be
kept down.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Jan. TO-
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, on the
way to the City of Mexico for the
convention of the Pan-American labor
congress, declared here that if an eff
fort was made to reduce the wages OF
workers a nationwide industrial
crisis would be precipitated.
I'VE have knowledge of huge prof
it's made by manufacturers" said
Gompers, and we do not propose to
have the workers made the goat by
them to satisfy the demands for lower
prices, an an effort to save the huge
profits"
He said that the wage reduction
was simply a blind by the industries
to save these profits.

OVER S770,0O0 IS
 RECEIVED SATURDAY
Collector Takes in S776,215.97-
 Months Total $1,50S,0O0

More than three-quarter of a mil lion dollars was received on Saturday at the office of Tax Collector Berna- ootte Loomis, when the months pro- ceeds Jumped from less than three quarters of million to over a million and half between g am. and g nm Saturday.
 when asked this morning what the total tax collections for the month of August would be, Tax Collector Loolnis. who predicted the collec tons for the month of July almost to the cent, answered, "s1OO.OOo., Early in the month of July Mr. Loom1s predicted that the total col lectlons for that month would amount to million and a half That his pre- d1ctlon was correct Is shown by the fact that when he closed his office saturday night, the months total was S1,503, 3,005.32. MT. Loomis has quite a reputation for predicting the office business a month in advance and it IS said he never has failed to make a fairly correct estimate
 Saturday was one of the busiest days the local office has seen for a long time. Every minute the office force was busy. More money was taken in on the last day than was received during the rest of the entire month. At the start of the day the total collections for the month to- tailed $726,789.35. Saturdays pro- ceeds amounted to s776,215.97.
 MT. Loomis bases his estimate for August on the fact that there are many large checks out which prob ably will arrive this month. Also many men who are out of work or working for small wages have not paid yet and will try to do so this month. Insta1lment payments also help to make him feel assured of August's finances. It Is said that the money collected during the month of July, 1921, exceeded the amount col lected for the whole year of 1920. The collections for July are item ized as follows:
 $1,491 ,374.11: sewer, S3,549.2O; street improvement, sS41.47; street sprinkling. $1,240.54. In July, 1920. collections total1ed S1,157,357.0 .04 ! showing a gain this year of s345,- 64S.2s.

NURSES BODY FOUND:
 MURDER SUSPECTED
Washed Up By Sea, No Water in Lungs, But Head Is Badly 
 Bruised.

Providence, R. l., Aug. 1.-The body of a woman, believed to be that of Miss Mollie Oates, the Huntington, l.. l., nurse. who disappeared from her state room on the steamer Georgia Friday night, was found thrown up against a sea wall on the estate of Col G. L.. Shepley in Warwick, yesterday after noon.
 The absence of water in the wom- ans lungs and the presence of wounds in her head, to which the blood still adhered, has led the authorities to suspect foul play and a rigid investi- eation has been begun.
 A search of Miss Oates stateroom resulted in the finding of a handbag containing 47 cents and the addresses of persons in Huntington. The author ities now believe she had a larger sum { of money and robbery may have been motive for her murder.
