We do not hol1d a brief for the manufactureers of the substitu‘es for coal that are now ibeing put on the market but have been urged by a local coal dealer to draw the attenâ€" tion of the people to these substitutes and to seriously think the matter over with a view to ibeating down at least a portion of the winter exâ€" that coal mined to supply the demand for domestic use. With the increase in population to be. expected in both Canada and the Unitedy States, the demand for domestic fuel would, how ever, sleadily increase. It would be necessary‘then, he said, for the peoâ€" ple to ibecome acquainted with . the use of fuels other than anthracite, and to use, at least to some extent, such substitutes, several of which are mwow on the market. Conservation is a word that very few seem to know the meaning of They continually complain * of the high cost of everything and at the same time/are wasting a good perâ€" centage of that that has cost s» much. There are tons of stuff burnâ€" ed every spring that by iproper care in saving it though the winter would save a good many pounds of coal. But the men are too anxious toâ€" air their grievances and the woméen are too cussed lazy to bother and when spring comes they have no thought of coal and they iburn the otherwise w3ofu1 refuse. G.H. Cushing of Washington, direcâ€" tor of American Wholesale Coal Dealâ€" ers association, in addressing the Canadian retail coal dealers convenâ€" tion held last week in Toronto, said that in his opinion, the production of anthracite coal had reached its maxiâ€" mum, and that in the future there would not be a sufficient quantity of A BURNING QUEST 2N matatatntaCn5 EIGHT now $1.50 Silk, 75¢ Lisle, soc Cotton /# h.

"At this the father raised his hook And snapped the faggot band." Do you know what a faggot is? In the provinces in England they are mighgy glad to go into the forests and gather tfiggots. Faggots are twigs and small limbs and many a cotter burns nothing else except an occasional log of wood. A British thermal unit represents quite a lot of heat, but when you stop to consider how small an armful of "brush" it would take to heat one pound (less than a pint) of water just one‘degree of heat (from 60 derees to 61 derees), a British thermal unit is fairly easily supplied. And yet_that same little amount=of brush or faggots supplies enough heat to give power sufficient to raise 778 pounds one foot high, or one pound â€" 778 feet high. | How many tens of thousands of B.t. u.: are burned in and ~around GRIMSBY in‘a vear in brush and How many tens of thousands of B.t.u. are burned in and ~around GRIMSBY in\a year in brush and rubbish fires?.
