The coal-burning water heater is an attractive intallation to many. While it is slow in heat ing the water, the use of a liberal size of storage tank will eliminate the need of frequently forcing the fire and will keep on hand sufficient supply of hot water to meet the demands. These heaters require daily attention, but are economical to operate, for they will do the work required by an average family on only a few tons of coal per year. The economy secured is an inducement to many who do not mind performing the duties of attending to the fire.
 In selecting any of the boiler attachments for heating water, the house heating system must be con- sidered. For use with a steam or vapor heating plant, the best se- lection is the indirect water heater King Features Syndicate. Inc, Great Rl

Bruise slightly and pour over them one pint of boiling water. Strain when cold and add one pint of grape-juice with sugar sirup and cracked ice or cold water to taste. A tiny sprig of mint should float in each glass. Rhubarb and grape juice offer another excellent com bination, as do mint and lemon, or the juice of fresh berries. Grape juice alone is never quite so good as when sweetened with honey.

Strain, and when cool, add one cup full of orange, pineapple, or other fruit juice, with sugar to taste. Dilute with water or cracked ice. A piece of sweet cicely, sarsapar- fila, or other aromatic root often found about country places gives this drink pleasant wild flavor.

effort nor time is lost when hot water is needed for the many du- ties to be performed in the home, they may be considered as labor savers.
 The circulating water heater, which is attached to hot water storage tank or boiler, must be lighted each time hot water is de- sired. Frequently, there are an- moving delays before sufficient hot water is available, and then the burner must be turned off when enough water is heated. If, as is frequently the case, the heater is located in the cellar, it is troublesome to do the step-run- ming required to light and later to turn out the burner of this de- vice, with the result that on many occasions when hot water ought to be used, one manages to do without it.

THIS is the time of year when
 fruit should be eaten freely
 and one of the best ways to make use of it is in salads. Many fruits lend themselves remarkably we'll in combination with lettuce, cheese, nuts and dressing. A fruit salad oftentimes has the double ad- vantage of serving as a dessert as we'll as the salad course, and when used in that way, it contrib utes toward simplicity in menu planning, which is so necessary in hot weather.
 The following recipes suggest ways of using various fruits in salads:

The English cottage style is
enjoying much popularity for the
modern house. chiefly on account
of the picturesque exteriors found
in this type.
Nevertheless. this style has its
drawbacks when one must build
for economy. These drawbacks
lie in the plan, with particular
reference to the second floor and
to the, servants rooms.
Owing to the low rambling roofs
OF the English cottage. the second
floor is, in many cases, greatly re-
duced in area. This reduction in
size of the second floor is serious

FLORIDA AT FAULT

The exposure Of peonage conditions
in the state of Florida i'll accords
with the desire of those who wish to
"scll" Florida to visitors. This fact
evidently is appreciated by those who
have set about trying to wipe the
disgracefu' contract prisoner laws off
the Florida statutes.
1t was time. The news of one poor
fellow, whose only crime was steal
ing a ride on train when he didn't
have the price of fare, being
worked and beaten when he was sick
unto death, exposed the plot to fat
ten through abuse of human beings.
Peonage has less to recommend it
than had slavery: criminals come
chcaply but slaves were expensive
and even cupidity was induced to
caro- for their physical well-being.
The reading Of the indictment of
the whipping boss"-no one disputes
the have such instruments Of tor
ture in Florida-is horrible. We only
hope 1t brings home to the minds of
the excellent people of that enterprise
ing state the full shock of the horror
experienced by those in other states,
who read the Associated Press re-

Mr.. Coburn Makes Explanation

April 5, 1923.
Kcnncbec Journal, Augusta, Maine.
Dear Editor: In justice to my many
friends in the East, | feel that there
should be some explanation made re-
Sarding the check matter which has
received so much publicity recently
and which 1 have just learned of.
The facts of the case are that two
years ago on being away from Sam
Eervillc. | left my affairs with the
bookkccper. Through some mistake
of his, in paying small bill of about
$1,000 lie gave a check of a company
which | vas treasurer of and had left
signed checks for him to use as the
rents came in. and when reaching the
bank was returned to Mr.. Lane.
The moment l learned of it which
was some two or three weeks later, I
Immediately gave Mr.. James Hudson
of Guilford. my attorney, personal
check which he rendered and which
Mr. Lane to whom the check was
made, endorsed same. After some
two weeks the check was returned to
my attorney with a line drawn
through his endorsement. While it
was entirely in the hands of my at
torncy | had completely forgotten it
until l learned of the action which
had been taken.
In conclusion, I can say that 1t is
simply spite and trick to dscredit
me by people in Sangerville for whom
] have done the most since the mills
failed and 1 took hold of them and
made success. I feel it is nothing
more than jealousy and would ap-
prcciate this being given the same
publicity as the other articles.
Thanking YOU for your many
courtesies in the past, beg to remain,
Very truly yours.
