quality, we "would consider it cheaper 

 than the hard coal at the prices men- 

 tioned^ but if the smokeless grade is 

 largely coi^posed of screenings, better 

 results will undoubtedly be secured from 

 the same money expended in hard coal. 

 The extra labor of firing with the fine 

 coal should also be considered. 



STEAM FOR SMALL HOUSE. 



I intend to build a small house, 21x50, 

 and should like to know whether a 2%- 

 inch flow pipe will be large enough to 

 feed all the returns and keep the house 

 at a temperature of 68 degrees when the 

 outside temperature is 20 degrees below 

 zero. The house will be exposed on all 

 sides. It will be of even-span construc- 

 tion. There will be forty-eight inches 

 of glass in the sides. The height will 

 be seven feet to the eaves and thirteen 

 and one-half feet to the ridge. The 

 house will be heated by steam and will 

 be about fifty feet from the boiler. 



J. A. W.— 111. 



To heat the house in question, a 2^2- 

 inch flow pipe will be of ample size. In 

 addition, there should be a coil of thir- 

 teen 1%-inch pipes upon each wall. 

 These should start at the middle of the 

 end of the house farthest from the boiler 

 and run each way to the corners of the 

 house and then on the side walls back 

 to the boiler, with which each coil should 

 be connected by means of a 1%-inch 

 pipe. 



The 2%-inch flow should be carried 

 overhead to the farther end of the house, 

 about three feet below the ridge. If 

 bottom heat is desired under the middle 

 bench, a part of the returns may be 

 placed there, but a sufficient number 

 should be used to provide 336 square 

 feet of radiation in the returns. 



Chester, Pa. — Having acquired his 

 partner's interest in a florists' business 

 here, Sidney H. BuUwinkle says he is 

 negotiating for the purchase of ground 

 on which to erect a range of houses. 

 The store is at 8 West Seventh street. 



Waukegan, 111. — Speaking for publi- 

 cation in a local daily, anent the supply 

 of French and Dutch bulbs. Matt P. 

 Dilger the other day said: "I have 

 made several attempts to place orders 

 for these bulbs and have failed. In 

 each instance I have been advised that 

 the tulip and narcissus bulbs are being 

 used as a food in Holland and in France. 

 I have never tasted this new food, al- 

 though I have handled thousands of the 

 bulbs, but I would not be surprised if 

 they tasted as good as do onion bulbs, 

 which we eat."

BIG PROFITS 



—for Florists

Hand weeding, always inefficient and costly, is today even 

 more so because of labor conditions. Thousands of people 

 all over the country, owners of estates and homes, as well 

 as leading railroads and cities, use

 free paths, gutters, tennis courts, 

 roads, right of ways, etc. 



Atlas is a scientific chemical. 

 It is sprinkled over the area to 

 be cleaned (diluted with 20 parts 

 water). Weeds and other vege- 

 tation die in a few days— and 

 stay dead all year, because Atlas 

 soaks down to the very roots. 



One gallon of Atlas clears GOO 

 square feet. Compare this 



cost with that of hand weeding. 



Here is an exceptional oppor- 

 tunity for you to act as our rep- 

 resentative in your town filling 

 the demand being created by us 

 through advertising. Tell your 

 customers about Atlas. They'll 

 appreciate it. 



Information regarding our pro- 

 position will be sent if you will 

 write us on your business letter- 

 head.
