HOW TO SAVE COAL OUTLINED ; BYR.A.HICKOK Fuel Administrator Gives Val uable Tips to Local Consumers An accurate and very eilicient ! system of savins fuel has been out- j lined by Ross A. llickok, Dauphin | County Fuel Administrator, which should be carefully read by every i housekeeper in Harrisburg. The dis- , position of the fuel administrator, as already demonstrated, is to inject ; "team work" into the coal situation, and harmony, so that Harrisburg will suffer as little as possible. Mr. llickok stated the other day I that he had assurance from Washington that the dealers here would -.jet coal from the operators very shortly ana in the meantime he has had the card svstern introduced and he now gives Ihe following suggestions for the practical co-operation of the con "Don't burn coal in an open for in such a practice seventy-live per cent or more of the heat goes up the chimney. , I "It isn't necessary to ha\e e\er> room heated. Most people would be j healthier if they slept in cold bed- j rooms. , .. t "Examine furnace and see that there are no cracks at floor line permit air leakage into the ashpit. "Endeavor to keep the entire fuel space of vour range or furnace filled, heaping the coal slightly in the cen ter. Don't let the fuel bed burn down | too low. Thin fires mean waste. , Break lumps to about eprp size. . "Feed the tire and h;ike the grate it regular intervals. Two or three nmes daily is generally sufficient Shake down the ashes | fresh coal and stop shaking the mo ment the first bright spot appears j under the grate ; "If the tire has burned \en low unci more heat is required, open damper in the ashpit and add a | small quantity of coal. In this pai ticular case, do not shake the prate j until this fresh coal is well ignited, then shake down the ashes and | again add fuel. , "Don't leave feed door drafts open j and admit cold air over a glowing fuel bed at any time. Air for com bustlon should be drawn through the burning bed of coal, and as a gen eral rule, all checking of draft should j be accomplished by closing the ash- , pit damper and opening the check damper in the smoke pipe. The , check damper should never be open ed until the ashpit damper is closed. The shutoff damper in the smoke j pipe may be partly closed in case ; of an unusually strong draft or to | check the fire in mild weather. "Before feeding a furnace see that ! the shutoff damper in the pipe is , open, and close the check damper, j This prevents the escape of dust. "Keep the ashpit empty. Remove 1 ashes at least once daily, and be sure 10 sift all ashes to recover the good I °"Clean flues frequently: with soft j coal every other day is none too t often to give the furnace a brushing down. One-eighth inch of ashes and soot on boiler surfaces retards heat 1 transfer twenty-five per cent. "Careful sealing of house by means of weather strips, double windows, ets., results in a material saving of fuel. Don't forget, however, that if the basement walls are airtight provision must be made for an am pie supply of air." Animal Diseases Rob Army of 8 Months' Meat Rations "One of the greatest problems be- j fore the American farmer to-day is | not onlv to supply the animal products ! needed bv the United States, but also to supply the ever-increasing demand; l'or these products by our allies." as- I serted I>r. I. D, Wilson, veterinarian at the Pennsylvania State College. Con- I servative estimates taken in England and France alone show a decrease of 5,000.000 head of cattle. 7.000.000 hogs i and 17.500,000 sheep in these coun- j tlies since the beginning of the war.] The American farmer must not only i compensate for this great loss, but must also ward off possible animal • bankruptcy after the war is over. It is estimated that the annual loss in the United States due to animal diseases is J212.000.000. This amount of money is approximately sufficient to furnish the meat ration for 2,000,- I 000 soldiers for eight months. Most j of this loss results from infectious I diseases which can be controlled in a j large measure by proper manage ment. During the past fifteen years the ■ population of the United States has been increased by 13,000.00" peopie. 1 During the same time there has been a decrease of 6,000,000 head of beef j nnimals and 11,000,000 sheep. The number of hogs has increased only 11,000,000. It is thus very evident that] that the livestock industry cannot! continue to decrease in the future as ! it has in the past. Infectious diseases must be controlled and better live- j stock produced. Horticulture Prominent in Farmers' Week Program Since Pennsylvania ranks h?gh as ; a producer of fruits and vegetables, j much prominence will be riven on the I program for Farmers' Week at the! Pennsylvania State College to lectures j and demonstrations relating to the production, harvesting and marketing of horticultural products. The list of speakers will include not only specialists in various phases of horticulture connected with the col lege, but also prominent men through- j out this and other states who have | been successful producers. There will be discussions on the lo- ] cations of orchards; the selection of varieties of fruit: cultural methods I for orchards; pruning, spraying and tillage; harvesting and packing ap ples for market; diseases of fruit: in jurious fruit insects; grading, and co-operative marketing. There will be demonstrations in or chard planting, grafting, pruning, budding, making and applying sprays and apple packing. Interesting ex hibits of fruit and vegetables will be on display the entire week. 17 British Vessels Sunk in One Week .London, Dec. 6.—Sixteen British; merchantmen of more than 1,600 i tons were sunk by mines or sub-' marines in the past week, according, to the admiralty statement last night. : ' 'ne vessel under 1,600 tons and four, fishing vessels also were sunk.

How To Get Rid Of Indigestion "Most people who suffer from indi gestion, gastritis, dyspepsia, etc. —even those who have been afflicted for years and who have tried doctors, hospitals and patent medicines galore 'without permanent benefit—can get instant relief and insure puinlecs nor mal digestion by taking a teaspoonful | | of ordinary Bi-nesia in a little hot i ; water immediately after eating." The i authority for the above statement I \ who has spent years in European j i countries investigating the results j j from the use of the product known ! among druggists here as Bi-nesia : ! claims that the remarkable and m stant relief which almost invariably: 1 follows its use is due fact that ■ it neutralizes stomach acid and stops i I fcod fermentation, tnus giving nature ! la chan'e to proceed with its work; , without hindrance. He also related ! many instances of its successful use j t not only by doctors and hospitals, but j also of its widespread use by French. - i English and Italian soldiers at the front; and expressed the belief 'hat i every American soldier should carry ! i a bottle of Bi-nesia in either powder or tablet form i.s a guarantee against : ; those stomach complaints which so j frequently follow hasty eating or the ' use of imperfectly cooked food. Care ! should be taken to insist on getting 1 the genuine Bi-nesia, which owing to I its marvelous properties is now sold jby druggists everywhere under a , binding guarantee of satisfaction or j money back 1 IMPORTANT The Bi-nesia Men tioned above is a harmless but won- I derfully effective remedy wiiich you ' can make at home or any druggist lean prepare for you by mixing 1% j ounces bisoma carbonate with 1 ounce magnesia carbonate. If, however, you wish a guarantee of satisfaction or money back, be sure to ask for an original package of Bi-nesia.—Adver- I tisement. | Cough Nearly Gone | in 24 Hours G That** th ?nnftl exp*rienr* with S CP this homt-madr remedy. t'ost ; g Uttl©—try it.

These men were cut off in the German turn ing movement near Gouzeaucoutt and were taken prisoners. A German escort of twenty soldiers or more started with them along the road leading from Gouaeaucourt to Cambrai. As tliey were proceeding disconsolately toward the zone of the German prison cages they came upon a small body of British troops who had also been cut off from their com rades and were wandering about. The British Tommies immediately charged towards them. The Germans tried to drive their captives off towards I-a Vacquerle, but the pris oners hurled .themselves upon their guards and struggled barehanded un til the Tommies arrived and disposed of the Germans. The engineers and their comrades took the German rifles, and worked their way back with their rescuers until they were able to reach a point where tliey could join the British line. A party of Americans and Canadi ans also had an exciting timo in a motor lorry, which, coming unexpect edly upon six Germans holding the crossroads with machine guns, charg- DECEMBER 6, 1917 Ed at full speed, tank-like, bowling over the surprised enemy and escap ing down the before the Ger mans recovered from their shock and fright. The engineers were not the only Army men from the United States who did their bit during the most intense part of the German counterattack at Cambrai. No less than ten American Army medical officers were working in the British casualty station along the Gouzeaucourt front. In fact, they had been laboring there since General Byng began his great offensive. A KNABE Piano or Player Piano makes ail ideal Christmas present in any homo. Sole agency.
