WORMLEYSBURG
COUNCIL FILLED
J. Groff Schaeffer Succeeds
Edward Miller, Who Failed
to Take Office
Wormleynburg, Pa., .lan. S2, —At a
meeting of council last night the
membership was rilled for the first
time In nior® than a year by the elec
tion of J. Oroff Rlipalter. Mr. Hlveaf"
fer's term as councilman expired this
month, but h Was chosen to succeed
Kdward Miller, who was elected this
fall but who failed to file Ills expense
account and appear before council to
take the oath of ofllce.
For more than a year council has
been doing business with Just enough
members to take caro of the activi
ties of the borough. Members re
signed and It was an Impossibility for
the borough fathers to get others to
succeed them.
Charles Favorite wns the first inan
to leave council. His reason for re
signing was that his business was too
lnrgo to devote much time in his of
ficial capacity.
Linwood R. Wanbaugh, then presi
dent. resigned shortly afterward. J. R.
Neldhammer was elected president,
but council was unable to get a man
to succeed Mr. Wangaugh lis a mem
ber, which left six members to operate
the borough.
Kalph E. Sparrow resigned in Aug
ust without giving any reasons and
Kalph Shrack, the secretary quit
shortly afterward. Mr. Shrack was
not a member of council and his suc
cessor was elected, and is Vernon
Keister. With the exception of John
K. Neidhamrner the terms of all cotin
cilmen expired this year. At the fall
election members were elected to suc
ceed them. Every man took up his
duties with the exception of Edward
Miller.

TUESDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG 8&66H TELEGRAPH ■ JANUARY 22, 1918.
BITUMINOUS MAY BE
WITH GOOD RESUL
IS TAKEN IN
The eiiftirmart ot ft committee to
be appeihted by the feeunty fuel ad
ministration for the Jsurpose ef fcdtt'
eating Httt-rinburs Penl consumers to
use bituminous coal Ift theh' homes
during tile ftnthrftelte fchorlttgtS, has
liait the following information re
garding the Use of bituminous coal
prepared for the public. It Is hoped
by means of publishing information
from Mnio to time to educate the pub
lic of Harrlsburg to use bituminous
coal.
In response to your Inquiry as to
the practicability of burning bitumi
nous coal in steam or lvt water bolt
ers for house heating purposes, wish
to Htate that If Intelligent and proper
attention is given to the operation of
the boiler, there is no question what
ever, as to satisfactory and economic
al results bolng obtained by tho use
of bituminous—or what Is generally
•known as "soft"' coal. „
In normal times, there are mined
in tho United States, approximately
600,000,000 tons of coal yearly, of
which amount only about 100,000,-
000 tons are anthracite, or "hard"
coal. About 75 per cent, of this an
thracite coal is mined in this state,
and mostly within a radius of 100
miles of Harrlsburg. It Is this close
proximity to the hard coal fields and
the consequent short freight hauls,
that has permitted the marketing of
the coal In this district at a com
paratively low price, as this same
coal is sold in San Francisco at 91S,
and in Denver at $22 per ton.
Because of Its low cost and its
freedom from dust and smoke as
compared with soft coal, it is only
natural that anthracite coal is the
Ideal fuel and is most commonly used
In this vicinity. Its popularity, how
ever, is principally confined to the
hard coal regions, for in the districts
where 'bituminous coal is mined —
and there is over five times as much
of this mined and consumed —this
soft coal is used almost exclusively,
nnd with entirely satisfactory results.
In other parts of the country, coke,
wood, natural gas, oil, etc., being
more readily obtainable, are used as
fuel, and with practically the same
economical results.
To burn soft coal successfully for
house heating purposes does not nec
essarily require a specially designed
boiler, as is very commonly believed,
for most all of the high grade makes
of boilers sold to-day, are adapted
for burning either anthracite or
bituminous coal with equal facility
and with the same efficient results.
The chief objection, however, to the
use of soft coal, is, that it requires
more frequent attention, and reater
care in handling and burning, so as
to prevent the usual dust and smoke

■The .heating: bower or thermal
VaIUS Hi Soft coal is about the Same
as that of hard coal, there being
Very little difference in the actual
number bi' heat UhltS per pound of
average grade of either hind. The
average Coal runs from 13,000 to
12,500 ii, T. ITS per poundi
The ratines op capacities of most
heating boilers, however, are based
on the use of hard coal for fuel, and
HS hard Coal weighs approximately
50 pounds her cubic foot, and soft
coal about 40 pounds per cubic foot,
It is apparent that to obtain the same
heating power with soft coal, it will
either require ft boiler having ft fire
pet capacity ftbout 96 per cent, great
er=s—to allow for the greater bulk of
soft coal—or, ft proportionately
shorter firing period, tt is for this
reason that so-called "hard coal
boilers" demand more frenuent fuel
ing When Soft coal is substituted,
and Hot due to ft supposedly lower
heating power of the soft coal.
Two types of soft coal are used in
heating hollers! the "free-burning"
coal—which breaks apart when
burning, allowing the gases to burn
freely, and "caking" soft coal—
which fuses Into a solid burning mass
forming tv hard crust on top, slowly
caking as it burns. The "caking
coal is most valuable for house heat
ing hollers, because the gases are
more thoroughly consumed, "Cak
ing" coal is Worth about 20 per cent,
more by average than "free-burn
ing" Coal,
Oases should psss off from the
coal slowly. The air inlet or slide In
feed door should be open so as to
supply sufficient air over the fire to
properly mix with the coal gases and
nurn them. If possible, use iniform
slse of coal. Avoid using coal having
too touch dust—'"run-of-the-mlne
may cost less, but its heat making
value Is abo low.
In feeding "freeburning" coal on
an old flre, rake the caked fuel or
live fire to.the back of fircpot. Then
fill in the front part of the flrepot
with fresh coal, "Caking" soft coal
should be broken up by n poker be
fore more is added. Then fill the flre
pot full—leaving some of the live
coals uncovered. If possible, This ex
posed fire should be at the roar, so
that the fresh coal gases will pass
over the live coals and burn —thus
extracting a larger amount of the
heat valuo of soft coal and with less
smoke.
When feeding coal to tho boiler,
open "Choke-Damper" (ihslde smoke
hood or sniokeplpe), close "Cheek-
Draft" damper (on top of round
boiler, In rear of square boiler). This
makes draft through feed doorway
and prevents escape of dust or gas
Into cellar when feed door Is open.
The boiler surface and flues should
be cleaned dally with a wire brush.
Tills is very Important, as soft coal'
causes a very heavy soot deposit in
the flues, and if this Is not removed
frequently it may greatly affect the
performance of tho holler, and re
quires much more fuel than If the
surfaces are kept clean.
If, by .burning poor coal, the grate
gets covered with slate and clinkers
massed together, the quickest way to
get an active flre is to dump the grate
and build an entirely new flre. A
flre should not be cleaned from the
top, or clinkers should not be re
moved through the feed door. All
cleaning of the fire should be done
through the "Clinker Door," or by
shaking or dumping the grate. Ashes
should not bo permitted to bank up
under the grate in the ash pit, as it
is possible to warp or break them
through this carelessness. The best
rule is to remove the ashes daily.
If the foregoing suggestions are
carried out, I am confident that the
substitution of bituminous coal for
anthracite, will, in a great majority
of cases, meet with entire satisfac
tion, and as its use becomes more
general in this vicinity, will, no doubt
greatly relieve the present distress
due to tho meager suply of hard coal
available just now.
Very truly yours,
G. C. FRANTZ.

Those who have become prematurely
grey or who are troubled with scalp
or hair diseases, such as falling hair,
dandruff, baldness, itching scalp, etc.,
know full welt the humiliation that
they cause. There is no need, how
over, of such conditions. These troubles
can be quickly overcome by Borandint,
the new drug recently discovered at
the Scientific llesearch laboratories at
Klmlra, N. Y. Since its discovery, a
little over a year ago, Borandine has
been found to contain marvelous prop
erties for producing a new growth of
hair. In subjecting it to various tests
in the worst cases of baldness, dand
ruff, itching scalp, etc., the results ob
tained by the experimenting chemists
were considered almost miraculous. In
every case it was found where there
wore any hair roots left it would pro
duce a new and luxuriant growth of
hair in from four to six weeks' time.
Gray or faded hair was often restored
to its natural color in from 10 to 14
days' time. In minor cases of scalp
and hair diseases, si*eli as dandruff,
falling hair, itching scalp, etc., it was
tound that these unnatural conditions
were corrected and often completely
cured by one or two applications. The
discovery of Borandine will, without
doubt, put an end to the troublesome
scalp and hair diseases that are be
coming so common with the Anv-rlcan
people. Women who have been forced
Into wearing false hair will greatly
welcome this marvelous product as,
aside from -its many other virtues, it
adds a beautiful gloss and luster to
tho old hair. Besides, it contains no

of them spent the day T will try to
tell you of our first Thanksgiving
Day In France.
This being a holiday wo were giv
en tho great privilege of sleeping
an "hour longer than usual In the
morning. Hevollle and roll call
over, breakfast was served, after
which the boys started to fuss up
for the day, Buddonly wo were arous
ed by the blare of trumpets and
the roll of drums, On rushing from
our billets we saw a regiment of
French soldiers marching over the
hill. Back of them came a long
line of olive drab, headed by a real
live American band. This meant
that the Btar attraction for the day,
the football game between Co.
and Co. ■ — of the —regiment, would
soon begin. Of course one could not
miss a football game, so as soon as
possible wo followed the procession.
The gridiron had been laid out on
a level field on the top of a hill
overlooking ono of the moat beauti
ful and hlstorlo valleys of France.
By the time wo arrived both regi
ments had been dismissed and
French and Americans interming
ling had packed the four Bides of
the field. The blue of the French
uniforms blending with the drab of
our boys gave a color effect which
rivaled that of our Army - Navy
game. It was a wonderful sight and
one which I shall not forget for
some time to come. Just to give
the scene an added war touch an
aeroplane hovered over head. Here
among the strangest of places the
French soldiers saw their first game
of American football. And what
a rattling good gatpe it was. Both
teams were composed mainly of col
lege stars and they clearly showed
that army life had not caused thehi
to lose any of their skill in handling
the foreward pass, running the ends,
or bucking the line. The 2-0 Bcore
shows how closely the game wan
contested. One could not help
thinking as he watched the game,
that If the American soldier fights
as hard as he plays, Germany will
certainly have no chance at all. The
game over, both regiments re
formed, the French standing at at
tention, while the Americans pass
ed In review before them, as they
marched away to their barracks.
The game ended, we returned to
our billets and awatted the serving
of our much talked of Thanksgiving
dinner. By this time all of the men
of the company who are on de
tached service had arrived to spend
the day with us and we were soon
busy swapping tales. Promptly at
two o'clock the dinner was served
and what a dinner! There was
stuffed turkey, glazed sweet pota
toes, cranberry sauce, apple pies and
r.uts, to say nothing of bread, butter
coffee and smokes. Everything Just
like mother used to make and done
to a turn. The way those boys ate
would certainly have given our
friend Mr. Hoover and his food con
servation ideas, quite a shock. Many
a boy was forced to leave out sev
eral notches in his belt, to accommo
date the sudden expansion of his
waist line.
Dinner finished there was still an
other attraction on the program in
the shape of a band concert. Those
of us who felt sufficiently inclined
to move embraced th opportunity
and -were well rewarded for our eh
forts.
Thus ends "a perfect day" ari#
brings us to nightfall and this letter
So you see CJncle Sam did his best
to try and supply good things to
eat, and amusements for his boys
to drive away any homesickness 01?
longing for their homes, this day.
I wonder if he succeeded?
Sincerely, GEORGE K. ERB.
To Relieve Catarrhal
Deafness and Head
Noises
If you have Catarrhal Deaf
ness or head noises go to your
druggist and get 1 ounce of Par
niint (double strength), and add
to it ',4 pint of hot water and 4
ounces of granulated sugar.
Take 1 tablespoonful four times
a day.
This will often bring quick re
lief from the distressing head
noises. Clogged nostrils should
open, breathing become easy
and the mucus stop dropping
into the throat. It is easy to
prepare, costs little and is
pleasant to take. Any one who
has Catarrhal Deafness or head
noises should give this prescrip
tion a trial.
