LEAKING FLUES
ARE A SOURCE
Of FIRE DANGER
Affect Efficiency of the
Stove, Heater or
Fireplace.
SHOULD MAKE TEST
This Should Be Done With
Smoke Before Mason
ry Enclosed.
SHOULD MAKE TEST

The Department of Agriculture gives
the following advice upon the care and
maintenance of chimney flues:
As is the case with all masonry work
it is sometimes necessary to rake out
disintegrated mortar joints and to re-
point them and, Mt times, to replace
worn or weathered material. In Chin
neys this is most likely to occur around
the top. because of the action of the
flue gases. The method of making
such repairs is obvious and need not
be discussed here.
Leaking flues are source OF dam
ger and affect the efficiency of the
stove. heater or fireplace. Leaks may
be located by means of the smoke test
described in the bulletin referred to
above. -,
In new work the chimney should be
tested with smoke before any of the
masonry is enclosed by other construc-
ton. as any leaks that may be found
can be more easily repaired than when
surrounding work renders parts of the
chimney inaccessible. If the leaking
Joints are accessible the mortar may
be raked out and the joint repointed
or the entire masonry surface may be
given a plaster coat of cement mortar.
The only safe method of repairing a
leaking flue that is without a lining,
and which cannot be plastered on the
outside, is to take it down and rebuild
it properly.
To Improve Leaky Fiues.
Flues that leak through the joints
of the lining may sometimes be I'M
proved in the following manner:
Using tightly -woven cloth, such as is
used in cement bags. make a pad about
one and one-half inches thick and of a
size which will fit the flue tightly. Ex-
celsior or hoghair may be used to fill
the pad. On each side of the pad place
an inch board, cut to the shape of the
flue. but two inches less in dimension.
The boards should be well nailed to-
gether through and around the center
of the pad. Attach light ropes or wires
to each of the corners of each board
and bring them together at the center,
but at least twelve inches away from
the board, and attach ropes long
enough to permit drawing the pad up
and down the flue. The short ropes or
wires TO the corners of the pad will

With the pad draw down to point
just above the smoke-pipe entrance.
pour a cement mixture of one part ce-
ment and two parts sand down the
flue from the top, using a few quarts
at a time. The pad should then be
pulled up and down by means of the
top and bottom ropes. This operation
should be continued until the entire
length of the flue has been traversed
several times and the open joints have
been completely closed.
The cause of smoke and SCOT is i'm

WHEN is TIME TO
BUY THAT HOME?
ANSWER is "NOW"
Just Moment Man Can As
semble Enough Cash, He
Ought to Own Dwelling.

There is only one time III every
mans life when he should buy a home
.of his own. and that time is the very
first minute that he can gather to-
geiher enough cash TO finance a COM
Portable home appropriate 10 the needs
of his family.
In other words, right now is always
the right time TO buy a home of your
own. The saving in actual cash money
TO be had by applying towards the
ownership of a home. the amount
which would otherwise be frittered
away in rent. will more than offset
any change in conditions which might
arise, not TO mention the many other
material advantages of being your own
landlord.
The enormous shortage of houses
which exists today in every part of the
United States is well known. and to
provide accommodation for the famil-
les, who at the present time are forced
to double up or live under inconveni-
ent and unsanitary conditions. will
keep the building industry working at
full capacity for several years to come.
Meanwhile the population of cities is
increasing by leaps and bounds and
still further housing accommodations
will have 10 be provided for the fam
lilies represented in this increase.
1t is generally agreed by those who
have made study of housing condi-
tons, that from five to- seven years
must elapse before the building indus
try will be able TO provide sufficient
new homes to cover the existing short
age aud to take care of the new famil-
les that will be added TO city popula-
tons during this time.
Now, it is easy to see what this
means.
Before a new building can be erect
ed lot must be purchased.
Vacant property is the one commod-
ity that has not advanced proportion
ately since pre-war days-no one ques,
tons that-but prices are rising. The
building boom which is already well
under way is creating a demand for
sites in every district, which
is gradually bringing prices up TO
where they belong. and will eventual
ly provide very handsome profit for
those who buy now.
Building material and labor have
shown a reduction in price during the
last two years and undoubtedly will
go lower, but no very great reduction
can be expected for several years, as
the law of supply and demand is in
fallible and the demand for building
material and labor during the next
five TO seven years. will be infinitely
greater than ever before in the his
tory of this country.
BY buying now a substantial profit
on the lot is assured.

COAL FOR 200 YEARS
= IN MIDDLE WEST

Chicago, Oct. ga. P).-There 10
enough unmined coal in middle wes-
tern fields to last at least 200 years,
according to estimates by Professor
Adolf Carl Noe of the University OF
Chicago. Professor Noe. discoverer
of coal balls" (fossilized life found
in coal seams) has just completed 4
study Of coal reserves In middle
western coal states.
In Iowa Professor Noe established
the fact of the marine origin Of coal
seams there, a result which he said
Is of Importance both scientifically
and commercially. The professor eX-.
planned:
1T appears that in very early
period there took place vast inunda-
tons from the sea, which caused the
coal bearing formations of Iowa,
stretching from the northwest to the
southeast, covering an area approXi-
mately from Boone. in the northern
part Of the state, to the Missouri
boundary. There Is a formation near
Muscatine which corresponds to that
In the vicinity of Rock Island, Ill. l
have become convinced, also, that
these deposits both in Iowa and in
the Rock Island district Of Illinois,
are many thousands of years younger
~AeAAA lhcS nave DceIl assumed TO De.
Professor Noe was convinced in his
theory OF the marine origin by discov-
ering In the coal seams of Iowa num-
erous fossilized remains of animal
life. These remains found in the
coal balls" Of Illinois and other reg
ions. tend to prove that the Iowa coal
deposits resulted from salt water in
undations. whereas those of Illinois
suggest in many instances fresh wa
ter condition. he said.
The prediction of an almost mex
haustible store Of virgin coal in the
middle west was based by Professor
Noe on the fact that in one field. for
example. only ten per cent. of the
deposits had been worked at all. leay-
ing 80 per cent untouched. Elsewhere
ne said, 1t was apparent that the un-
worked seams are tremendous.
Whereas at one time 1t was the
custom to take out only 40 to SO per
cent Of the coal in field" the pro-
lessor said. leaving large quantities
untouched and incapable of ever be-
Ing mined again, now the methods
used are approaching a hundred per
cent basis of production"

Health Dept.
Adopts Rules For
Aiding Prevention
Spread of Diseases

Last spring n case OF smallpox was
reported from Bangor and two days
later second case. a prompt in
vestigation made by the State de-
partment of health disclosed the fact
that lumber operator had been hav-
ing this disease in his camp for some
time and the policy had been keep
num-. Without a word of warning
they broke camp and forty odd men
scattered themselves over the state
and some to their homes in Canada.
Rapid work in learning the destina-
ton Of these men, notifying our local
suited in a smaller number of subse-
ouent cases than was expected. Yet
1t caused much trouble and expense,
particularly in the towns and cities
in which the cases Of smallpox APP
peared.
The action of this man was very
different from that shown by lumber
operators generally In the past when
smallpox has appeared in their camps
or threatened to invade their pre-
cincts. Almost invariably they have
given prompt notice of even sus-
ptcious cases. have put the sick men
into small isolation camps and, as
soon as possible, help has been sent
to them. the men have been vacci-
mated. have been put under modified
quarantine, but have continued their
work and the infected ones have been
permitted to resume their work, in
mild cases long before they have
ceased to be infectious. This policy,
seen very quickly to be best for all
hands. has been warmly approved by
the lumbermen.
Soon after the incident to which
reference has been made, the public
health council Of the State DEPART
ment of health at one of its meet
ings passed some special rules and
regulations which the department
feels very sure will help very much
In preventing the spread OF the more
serious contagious diseases in Ium-
Der camps. and from lumber camps.
