Make Fuel of Garbage 
Garbage can be used for fuel. One ton of it, 
when dried, contains, on an average, as much heat as 400 pounds 
of good coal. Therefore owners of buildings who have garb¬ 
age to dispose of actually cannot afford to have it hauled away. 
A Kewanee Water Heating Garbage Burner 
will burn garbage and rubbish, without odor. That keeps the 
premises clean and sanitary solving the garbage problem forever. And the 
garbage and rubbish is used as fuel for heating water—cutting hot water costs to a 
minimum. 
Kewanee 
Water Heating Garbage Burners 
for apartments, hotels, 
hospitals, restaurants, etc., are 
the sanitary and economical way of 
disposing of the garbage and refuse be¬ 
fore it has a chance to decay and 
breed rats and flies and other disease carry¬ 
ing insects and vermin. 
A small coal fire is started on 
the lower grates. The by pass at the 
back (a patented feature of the 
Kewanee) prevents the wet and damp 
garbage from smothering the fire. The 
garbage is quickly dried and burns 
without odor. The garbage grates contain 
water and the entire chamber is surrounded 
by water which heats water hot in abundance.

Cottaging at Penguin 
(Continued from page 26) 
ture stood a wall of dark pines. On a 
long island across the harbor a few white 
houses fringed the rocky shore and the 
hilltop was crowned by a silhouette of 
dark pine woods. All over the island’s 
upland, between the beach and the sum¬ 
mit, lay smudges of green, such as an 
artist dashes in with pure emerald. These 
daubs of color perplexed us till the day 
we sailed across and went exploring. The 
green was ferns, not in tufts as you find 
them in a city park, but lush jungles of 
fern through which we waded knee deep. 
Until late in the fall these bracken blotches 
preserved their beautiful spring-like ver¬ 
dure without a faded touch. 
We had not yet entered the Penguin. 
Come in with me, will you not? 
It has two doors. Both of them are 
enticing. One opens into the kitchen. A 
latch string ending in a wooden ball lifts 
the inside bar. A French window opens 
out upon the front piazza. That ushers 
you into the living room of the Penguin. 
Can you imagine the interior of a four- . 
room cottage which is architecturally and 
artistically perfect? For years I had 
dreamed of such a place. The Penguin 
is that dream made tangible. The liv- j 
ing room is arched like a miniature ca- j 
thedral. No sketches can make you see 
it. They lack color — not exactly color, 
but these drowsy gray-brown tints with 
which Nature paints an old stone wall. 
Through the wide-open casement you 
catch a glimpse of an upland hay field 
and the woods beyond. Overhead through 
a little window in the roof filters sun¬ 
shine. The beauty of fields and shore 
is built into a stone fireplace, with its : 
gracious invitation Tibi Splendet Focus 
carved upon the mantel beam. On the 
chimney shelf two penguins sculped from 
smooth stones and clay keep guard beside 
a wide embrasure. Color gleams here and ! 
there, the warm red of a copper chafing 
dish, dull blues and greens in a big china 
bowl and faded orange in the texture of 
an old Indian basket. 
On chilly summer nights—for there are 
cool nights on the Maine coast when the 
rest of America is stifling — we touch a 
match to a pile of birch logs laid across 
the andirons and straightway there blazes 
up a roystering fire. Then the living room 
of the Penguin glows with radiance. The 
fire leaps and crackles as it catches the 
papery bark that blankets each log till 
gradually it falls away into hot beautiful 
embers. 
There are window seats and ingle neuks 
beside the fireplace, also old-fashioned 
chairs which take you into their arms like 
an embrace. A rag carpet lies in front of 
the hearth and close by stands a massive 
table made by the artist himself. If you 
could drop in at the Penguin some night,
