TlnSfme rptr uv w c Now Is the Time to Clean and Inspect Your Heating Plant It Will Save Yoil Considerable Expense Next Fall "7"THE Government has estimated that nearly one- fifth of the total coal production is absolutely wasted. One of the greatest items of watte is due to DIRTY BOILER FLUES, i. o., accumulation of soot. Soot left in the boiler becomes saturated from the moist air during the summer, releasing a sulphur product which is injurious to the metal of tho heater due to its corrosive action. Soot is the most effective nonconductor of heat known to eci- ence. Soot in the heater flues means that you burn too much coal, because the heut generated by the fuel is not properly absorbed by the heating surface of the boiler. V. JnspecrtonandRepolr.
