u DID YOU EVER STOP
~. -....... To THINK?
BY
Edison r. Waite, Shawnee, Okla.)

w. E. Easton, editor of the Still
water (Minn) Gazette, says:
That trading at home is an old
subject, almost worn threadbare but
just as important today as it was a
hundred years ago.
, :. No town, no matter how large or
small, can grow and flourish if the res
idents do their trading away from
home. This is plain unvarnished
fact.
The merchants wives and families
are often the first to set the example.
The shoe men notice this fact; the
jewelry men do the same, as does the
grocer and the meat men, the dry
goods men the clothing men, as well
as the mechanic, the laborer, the
school teacher, the clerks in all the
stores, the stenographers, etc. They
all imagine if the other fellow can
trade out of town, they can, never re-
alizing the fact mat every resident is
more or less dependent on his neigh
Dor for trade. A town would be short
lived if this state Of affairs continued.
You who are in business, no matter
what your business is, owe it to your
home town to trade at home whenever
possible. And that is just as true of

HOW TO REMOVE SCOT

Large numbers of shingle roof and
defective f1ue fires are being reported
due to the increasing use of soft coal
The accumulationS of SCOT on heating
surfaces reduce the value of the fuel
and frequently clog the flues and start
fires. The Federal Fuel Administra-
ton Board suggests the following plan
for removal of SCOT.
The fire is put into good condition
with q substantial body of hot fuel
common salt, thoroughly dried, is then
thrown or sprinkled onto the incan-
descent fuel bed in quantity depen-
ding entirely on the size of the fur
mace. In the case of house heating
furnace one pound at time is ample,
In the case of a large power plant
boiler, four or five scoops full may be
required. The campers are kept open
so as to maintain the furnace tenn
perature and the salt is allowed to re-
main until the fumes have entirely
disappeared.
Immediately upon charging the salt,
the furnace becomes filled with dense
white fumes which may require as
much as half an hour to entirely dis
appear. If results are not secured on
the first application, 1t should be re-
peated as many times as necessary.
Once the heating surface is cleaned
small application every few days is
usually sufficient to keep it so.
Everyone using soft coal is urged by
the administration to use this remark
ably simple and cheap process for get
ting rid of the SCOT, cleaning and
heating surfaces of boilers, thus saving
large amounts of coal, preventing fires
from chimneys and generally conser-
wing all along the line of heating and
the production of power.
