DOMESTIC USES OF SOFT COAL TOLD
State Fuel Administrator Gives
 Explanation

Hartford, Aug. 3o.--In response tc numerous inquiries made to the Con, necticut fuel commission as to how to obtain best results from the use of soft coal, James s. Stevens, sales manager for the Pennsylvania Coal and Coke corporation, has prepared for Thomas w. Russell. state fuel ad- ministrator, the following instructions which, 1t is believed will be of great benefit to the Householder in getting accustomed to the change from hard to soft coal during at least the first few months of the coming fall and winter
 "In asking how to fire coal to get smokeless combustion, we hear many different views Of course, with fur naces especially adapted for soft coal, no instruction may be needed. But for those who desire to know, these two methods may be helpful.
 Soft coal is rich in burnahle gas, the same gas made for gas stoves. If burned, this gas gives much heat, and no smoke. If unburned, it passes out in smoke and waste. The trick is 10 DUrn ana not waste II.
 "Coal to be fired first on right side of furnace, leaving hot fire on left side to consume the volatile matter as 1t rises, then when coal on right is at red heat, firing fresh coal on left side. Repeat this method as needed. r...-
 More Careful Method.
 "A more careful and efficient meth cd Is Is a follows:
 Always leave some ash on the grate In mild weather great deal. and in the winter two inches.
 "In building new fire, put lot of fresh semi -bituminous coal in tho back of the firepit. leaving one-third the grate free. This open space fill with paper and kindling and light having the draft on at the ash pit, the check draft closed, and smoke pipe damper open wide.
 Since coal gives out it's gas at lower temperature than it cokes, it cannot be fully aflre till after it cokes Do not try to set the whole mass of coal on fire at once. It wastes coal and is unnecessary.
 AS the kindling burns it starts the coal along the front face of the fresh pile. The coal first gives up Its gas, which is burned; then itI cokes and takes fire, and while it is coking, the top surface of the pile begins to give off gas, and that burns As the process continues. ! fire eats into the whole pile grad | ually. Leave it a while.
 After some time the coal is all | on fire, and the kindling consumed | With the poker now draw the red hot fire to the front part of the fire pot, and fill up the back with fresh | coal, the same as before.
 By leaving on some draft at the ash pit, blue flame will start at the , junction point between the fresh not start promptly, throw in a news paper which will start them. If not l. make more draft at the ash pit. It is not necessary that fire should be ! under the fresh coal, preferably very little fire, or only ash. When the 1 blue flames start at the junction point, open the draft at fire door half or less shut off draft at ash pit , and leave the fire. When fire be- comes normal, adjust the check . draft
 ''The same general combustion | takes place, and the fire can be left | for four, eight or more hours, &C.,

 "RepleAish fire in the same man. ner, hot fire in front, fresh coal back.
 Tn banking fire for the night, re- peat the process, but when the blue flames are burning over the fresh coal, put more coal on the hot fire in front, close the ashpit draft, admit air through the fire door slots, and open the check draft, but leave the damper in the smoke pipe open, and leave 1t for the night.
 The smoke pipe damper is closed only when all gas is burned off. ex- cept with large furnaces and chim- neys. This is one way to run fire smokelessly, and get sufficient coal in the furnace to require little attention.
 The system will work in any kind kind of firepot, whether square, round, oblong, shallow or deep, whether for a warm air furnace a hot water boiler or a steam boiler. If any one knows a better way, will he describe it t?"

sells, owing. to her high first cost, she has been fairly profitable to her own CTS.
 The recent races of the New York Yacht club off Marblehead attra cted great interest among Gloucester fish ermen who attended in large num- bers to get pointers for their races two months hence.
 While the deep-sea fishermen are unsurpassed in the art of getting the most out of their vessels under lower sails or in making runs in from the banks, they are not quite so versatile as the amateurs in the game of hit ting the line a few seconds after the start.
 In the races of the last two years they have had the benefit of the start ing and light sail handling of a num- Der of Marblehead amateurs. This year the rules permit only actual fish ermen on the after deck, although there is provision for one observer.

FISHERMEN PREPARE FOR AUTUMN RACES
Old Salts at Gloucester Getting
 Ready for Annual Clash

Gloucester. Mass, Aug. 30.-Five fishing schooners are seeking the honor of representing Yankee fisher men in the race for the International Fishermans Trophy late in October. The elimination races will be sailed 1 October 12, 13 and IA off Eastern Point.
 The vessels which will fight it out for the responsibility of trying to re- gain the trophy won last year by the | Halifax fisherman Bluenose are ex- pected to be Mayflower, Elizabeth Howard, Yankee, Henry Ford and l.. A. Dunton.
 Puritan, the pride of Gloucester on which many deep-sea fisherman pinned his faith in the great race this fall, lies piled up on the treach- erous shore of Sable Island. Along the water front the old sea dogs say that the reason for Puritan's wreck last winter was that she developed speed far greater than those on board realized and fetched up on Sable Island long before she was supposed to be near it.
 Now Gloucester folk are turning to Henry Ford, which ran aground on Essex Beach when she was being launched in April and was seriously damaged. She was in port recently with a large cargo of salt cod and showed no structural defect as re- suit of her early mishap. But the fsherfolk wish that Henry Ford were little longer and openly admit that the other Gloucester entrant, Eliz- abeth Howard. is too heavy.
 Boats Wanted.
 From a Gloucester point of view the most profitable fisherman is one measuring between 90 and 105 feet at the waterline. For this reason they drowned upon Mayf1ower and Blue nose, which measures Ill feet at the waterline.
 The principal criticism of May flower, barred from the race last year, was that those who built and owned her were not interested in the fishing industry and that her cost was almost $60, 0,000--twice as much as the average cost of a Gloucester fisher man. Her carrying capacity also is less than the average fisherman. It is expected, however, that the Inter- national committee will approve May flowers entry, as she has made a number of fishing trips Although her profits have not been as large as in the case of some of the other ves-

because of the difficulties arising out of the fuel situation.
 There is good reason to believe that the local state normal school will be heated by means of soft coal dur ing the next winter, as that seems to be the only available fuel. The hard coal miners are still out on strike, and there is little chance of the state board getting enough of the coal to heat the buildings under its control.

that no predicament is so bad but
that it might be worse.
'Play the glad game all through

This philosophy began with the ar.

to apply the "Glad" philosophy to

AS tirnc went on she became the

along the Pathway OF Life, winning
many converts to this new religion.

Too much meat may produce uric

The kidneys do their utmost to

but become weak from the over

poison the entire system.
When your kidneys ache and feel

the bladder is irritable, obliging you
to seek relief during the night;
when you have severe headaches,

glass Of water before breakfast each
