PUTS STOVE IN FIREPLACE.
Suburbanite's Method of Conserv'

From the New York Sun.
Anprehension of coal shortage,
together with the upward trend in
fuel prices, has caused the wise sub
urbanite to consider ways and means
of providing for his comfort and
warmth during the winter months.
Then, again, reports that coal would
be ratloned in less than ton lots In
some towns added to his concern.
One enterprising Jerseyite has par
TALLY met the situation by capitalize

Hackensack home in q rather novel
a log fire and also being of the opin-
lon that it did not give off sufficient
heat, Mr.. Suburbanite purchased q
small stove, which he set in the open
fireplace. the pipe being extended up
the chimney.
The stove burns wood or pea coal,
Of which there is no shortage. and
radiates considerable heat. not only
within the room. but in the adjoining
rooms. With the furnace operating
on a curtailed supply of fuel, the fire
place stove permits radiators in that

The stove also serves a practical
purpose. its flat top permitting the

Moore, who wrote his Last Rose of
