come. The only satisfying thing about 

 the situation seems to be that there will 

 be no trouble to get a supply of the 

 coal that the trade has been using dur- 

 ing the last year or more. It will come 

 high, but we have to have it. 



* * Tell your florist friends that if they 

 are wise they will connect up with a 

 coal producer and contract for their 

 supplies," this coal man told The Ee- 

 view. "Then," he added, "they will 

 be assured of their supply, and there 

 will not be the chance to 'pass the 

 buck' for failure to deliver, as there 

 is when coal is bought of a jobber, when 

 the demand is great and prices are 

 high. ' ' 



HOW TO REMOVE SOOT. 



The United States Fuel Administra- 

 tion, through Harold Almert, director 

 of conservation, has issued the follow- 

 ing advice to the owners of hot-air, 

 hot-water and steam plants on how to 

 remove soot and tar from the heating 

 surfaces, smoke-pipes and chimneys: 



"Get the fire into good condition, so 

 that the fuel bed is bright or incan- 

 descent, and on the hottest part of the 

 fire spread several handfuls of salt; 

 then close the door and open the drafts. 

 Common salt, either of the table variety 

 or fine grain rock salt, such as is used 

 in making ice cream, has been found 

 effective. 



"When the salt is applied the heat- 

 ing plant immediately will become filled 

 with dense white fumes, which will pen- 

 etrate to every part of the furnace, 

 smoke flues and chimney and in less 

 than an hour the effects of the salt 

 will disappear. Then brighten up the 

 fire again and repeat the operation two 

 or more times until all heating sur- 

 faces have been entirely cleaned. 



"Later, one application of the salt 

 treatment once or twice a week will 

 keep the heating surfaces in a clean 

 and efficient condition. The chemical 

 action will not attack iron or be in any 

 way detrimental to the heating plant."
