HOW TO ECONOM|zE IN
USE OF ANTHRACITE
Coal Commission Adopts Navy
Departments Plan for
Saving Fuel.

The Delaware Coal Commission has
issued a circular on the methods or
economizing on anthracite coal. The
circular is reprint of one which the
Navy Department has issued To all
It's employees in Wa shngton advising
them how 10 use coal economically in
the household.
In the opening paragraph OF the
circular the commission etatcs that
they strongly recommend the use OF
pea and No. | buckwheat as outlined
for domestic use.
The circular IS as follows: II may
be that smaller sizes OF anthracite are
available. and. as shown below, these
can be used 10 effect economy. At
night. after the fire is shaken down
and some OF the larger coal put on,
the fire can he banked for the night
by shoveling on a top dressing of No.
buckwheat. This top dressing tends
10 hold down the draft and aids in
the proper and economic combustion
OF the coal body as a whole. In the
morning. at least In mild weather, the
furnace should be shaken down as
usual and fired with some OF the regu-
lar coal. After the fire has been burn
ing well Il can be checked or banked
by using a quantity OF the fine coal
as top dressing.
The two sizes OF coal never should
he mixed but kept in separate bins.
The buckwheat should he used only as
a top dressing and should not he used
except with the larger sizes OF an
thracite. The ordinary furnace does
not have sufficient draft 10 produce
satisfactory results when buckwheat
is used with ei,hr chestnut or pea
coal. Tho exact proportion OF small
and large coal should he determined by
experience and by weather conditions.
Keep the egg and pea coal in sepa-
rate bins. II you have good bed OF
! fire put the egg coal on first and then
| add n smaller amount OF pea coal. II
the fire Ia low put on little pea coal
and after a good bed OF Are is formed
and the egg and pea coal as above.
Always carry a layer OF ashes on
the crate 10 preventive coal from fall
ing through. Shake the CRATES with
short strpkes--just enough 20 remove
most OF the ashes; leave a layer on
the CRATE. Then slightly loosen the
fire with n pokr so that the air. car
PASS through H. Allow the FIRE "a
burn un brightly: then add little
coal. Allow the fire 10 burn rather
freely for about fifteen minutes: thcr
hl the fire-box with coal almost Il
the coaling door.
II you change your ordr or a.
leas; part or it 10 egg and pea or cEa
and No. l buckwheat you will ge
quicker delivery, as we'll as say,
money.
