ouuui American rraae
",er BiilI'llnK, believe they have solved
the problem. Their mines are situated
In the vicinity of Elkhart. Md and not
In HelKlum, ns the title would Indicate.
The process of preparing tho coal for
domestic consumption Is a Helslan proc
ess, tliey say. The lumpi are all uni
form In size, arc shaped like a hen's crr
and welsh about ten to the pound. They
say also that this fuel for domestic pur
poses lasts lonuer, burns cleaner and
mnkea no smoke or soot and very little
ashes.
This fuel Is made from slock or lino
coal dust by compression, by a process
said to be superior to the briquet process,
and is called tho "poor man's fuel."
