England On Coal Rations
England has found it necessary to
ration the coal supply this winter,
and the new household fuel and light-
ing order allows five tons of coal for
the ordinary six -room house—with a
cold bathroom—for one fuel year. Of
course, the weather conditions
throughout England are not as severe
as in a large part of the United States
and Canada, and while Be/fishers will
feel some inconveniences this winter,
they are not kicking. To carry out
the spirit of the order is the attitude
of the people, accrirding to London
advices.
Local fuel bureaus take care of
cases where there are sick patients
or invalids. Other special cases are
homes in which day and night work-
ers dwell, making double use of the
house. But the coal is allowed only
for occupied rooms. The order is
specific in excluding bathrooms, halls.
dressing -rooms or bedrooms, pantries,
store-rnoms, conservatories and the
like, And "rooms occupied" means
just that and nothing less.
The British order snakes certain that
some Wise -Aleck will not resort to gas
for help, so provisions are made for
gas and electricity also. These may
be used for lighting, but only one fuel
source is allowed for heating, that
is, if gas is used for heating then coal
is prohibited, and vice -versa,
The Meaning Of The Rules
To help in earring out the law,
coal dealers are required to register
and are licensed and regulated, and
a maximum penalty of $500 and six
months' imprisonment for violation is
provided.
Withthis experience of England at
our disposal, it is up to every Live
American heating man first to set his
own horse heating system in order,
and then get after the people in his
entmnunnity and teach them to "Hoov-
erize" on coal,

say that one-hundredth inch of soot
has the same resisting power to heat
that ten inches of iron have. Soot -
coverings on the interior of stoves and
furnaces mean, therefore, waste of

purchaser will Lind it to his interest
to clean stoves and furnaces, At the
same time his work will be a patriotic
service; he will be saving fuel for
war industries and war transportation.
The Fuel Administration urges also
that cellar furnace pipes be examined
for leaks, The piping should be close-
ly connected so that no heat may es-
cape through leaks or cracks. An
automatic damper, installed in the
chimney pipe is an excellent coal -
saver. This damper is controlled by
the draft, and saves coal by prevent-
ing torr vigorous a tire. Don't wait un-
til the last minute, when the tires
must be started, Now Is the time for

Ten Coal Saving Suggestions
Here are ten suggestions which the
general committee of U. S. anthracite
operators says will result in a saving
of 5on,000 tons of anthracite during
the coming winter if they follow them:
First—Start the furnace and kitchen
range fires as late as possible. Forget
the first fete cool fall days, Put up
with a little discomfort and remember
that the boys "over there” daily face
the weather with smiling face.
Second—Raise window curtains dur-
ing the day to ;Limit senneht, for that
is free heat. Dispense with awnings,
as they shut nut the sun.
Third,—Weather-strip ail doors and
windows and put asbestos around ail
furnaces, boilers and cellar pipes used
for heating purposes.
Fourth—Reduce the home tempera-
ture to sixty-seven degress. Do not
wait until the mercury shotes seventy-
four degrees before closing drafts. By

this time that extra amount of coal
will have been consumed and wasted.
Fifth—Bedrooms, where windows
are opened for the night or otherwise
should be shut off from heat. Use
blankets and feel better in the morn-
ing.
Sixth—Wear heavier clothing. This
materially saves body heat.
Seventh—Thoroughly clean soot
from pipes and boilers and do not
mind doing a little work in the cellar,
seeing that window panes are tight
and weather-stripped like the other
parts of the house.
Eighth—Burn oil, wood, coke and
bituminous when possible. Use gas
for cooking and heating, Gas lighting

Ninth—Use heavy draperies on
doors and windows for interior hone
decoration. This aids in husbanding
interior heat supply.

Use "Buckwheat" and Save Coal
How places using the larger sized
heating plants, such as schools,
churches and apartment houses, can
help the coal situation this winter,
when Canada will have to get along
with mucic less than the normal sup-
ply of anthracite, was explained in
an interview by Mr. C. A Magrath,
the Dominion Fuel Controller,
"It has been demonstrated that in
using stove or larger sizes of anthra-
cite coal in the larger sizes of heat-
ing plants, whether they are hot air,
(Tr low pressure steam, or hot water,
it is not only possible, but it is bene.,
ficial, to use a proportion of No, 1
buckwheat," said tvir. Magrath. "hr
some cases involving the use of egg
and broken coal it has been found
that as high as 50 percent. can be used'

to the liest sort of advantage;
"The No. t buckwheat is used as a
top dressing over the body of the
larger size of goal during the moder-
ate weather of the first and hast por-
tions of the wlinter, and during the
night in all weather except in the
most extreme. This top dressing No.
i buckwheat tends to hold the
draught, and to aid in the proper
an economic combustion of the coal
body as a whole. These places, by
this scheme, should take 25 per cent.
of their total fuel requirements in
No, t buckwheat, It must, of course
le ltept separate from the larger size,
and should not be used as a mix-
ture, but as a top dressing."
Mr Magrath said a further advan-
tage is that such use conserves do-
mestic sizes for the householder and
for purely domestic consumption.
Continuing, the Fuel Controller
said:
"I have in my cellar a fair percen-
tage of my year's needs of soft coal,
because I know Canada will not re-
veive a full supply of anthracite. The
soft coal 1 can either tele with the
hard coal, or use it by itself until
Christmas, and then again as spring
is approaching, if necessity should
demand, I could use it throughout the
entire winter, and keep my family
comfortably warns. It would be well
if every person put a percentage of
soft coal in his cellar,

were part of what one of the express
companies had to handle in last
night's consignment. Nine tons of
then!—eighteen thousand pounds—
and all from one Departmental store
in Toronto. The nine tons were for
(liven Sound and surrounding dis-

5,600 pounds to be exact—were for

logues, every way that they can make

represent their only means of ad-
vertising; but when a store finds it
pays to send five thousand pounds of
catalogues into one town, wouldn't it
i pay the merchant who lives in that
town to invest a little in keeping the
business and the money at home/
We don't need to answer that
question; it answers itself. The de-
partmental stores makes its money by
advertising and value -giving. The
local merchant can compete with the
Toronto house in the latter, but to
hold the trade, he must use the form-
er as well.
And he can't afford to sit and wait
till the damage is done. The time
to tackle potato bugs is not after
they have eaten the plants but as
soon as they appear. So the time
to tackle the outside departmental
store is not after the catalogues have
been checked over and the orders
sent, but before, so that the buyers
