Canadian consumers are always ma.

(11100st economy in the use of coal.
Central Canada is to a very large
extent dependent upon the United
States for its coal supply and a i'00(11•-
rence of the severe winter of 1917.8
will create a heavy demand for furl,
with the possibility of another failure
of the railways to deliver the coal.
Canada has the reput,ltloll of being
a wasteful nation. As regents our
use of coal this reputation is deserved,
The condition of the ashes removed

good fuel is going to the dump lump,
This is the result either oC indiffl.rerve

neglect to screen the ashes,
The Fuel Testing Branch of the De-
pa'rtrueut of 'lines, has recently pub-
lished a pamphlet by John Blizard,
13,3c., en "Economic Use of Coat for
Steam -Raising and IIouso-Heating,"
which gives valuable information on
the operation of furnaces and on fuel
economy.
A further and important reason for
economy in the use of imported coal is
that in the United States to -day our
money is at a discount. Any substan-
tial reduction in imports is of ma-
terial aid in correcting the conditions
to which the adverse exchange is clue.
