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.
