should Advertise Wood As Efficient Fuel
Has No Equal
In Fire Place
Can Be Used In Furn ace—Cit)
Folks Might Use More If
Supply Was Assured.
By R. W. Graeber, Extension For
ester, North Carolina State College
On these crisp early autumr
days that we have been enjoying
of late how good the wood fire in
the kitchen range has felt! It ha:
been so convenient on these chillv
mornings to start a wood fire in
the kitchen range and soon have
the coffee perkin’ and also have the
chill driven out of the whole house.
And in addition, very shortly,
warm water can be drawn at the
kitchen sink, while in the oven
mother has nice brown toast in the
makin’. And perhaps, too, during
this season of canning she is very
liable to have canning operations
started on the back side of the
range during the breakfast period.
-Now when one stops to consid
er that all this cooking and heat
ing is accomplished with the one
wood fire unit he can appreciate
all the more how efficient wood is
as a range fuel, and efficiency
means low cost.
for the iarmer there is no more
efficient fuel than wood from his
own forest, and undoubtedly for
many folks living in town a sub
stantial saving is realized by the
use of good quality wood for fuel.
Particularly is this true during the
autumn and spring when the fur
nace is not in operation. Many a
furnace fire is saved by the house
heating derived from the wood fire
in the kitchen range.
Should Be Advertised
Farmers who have wood for sale
should advertise in order to com
pete with other fuels which are so
strongly advertised. The merits of
good North Carolina herdwood as
fuel should be continually empha
sized by farmers and other W'ood
land owner who have a surplus of
fuel wood to sell. Many city folks
say, "We would like to burn wood
but we have no dependable supply
We have no certainty of getting
seasoned wood of the desired size
and quality.” Farmers isn’t this
J*~ cJiancc? A Jvertrisin g good,
well-seasoned, graded wood of any
size, undobutedly a great deal more
could be sold particularly during
these days when folks are inter
ested in cutting down costs.
Best Fireplace Fuel
For these folks who really enjoy
a fireplace and appreciate the
cheer and coziness of a fireplace
fire on frosty fall evenings there
is no substitute for wood for fire
place fuel. A wood fire can be so
easily and quickly started and be
gins generating heat so promptly.
Furthermore in the use of well
seasoned wood the amount of
cmnlzp inrl croc ic frv o mm
imum in fringing the wood to that
red glowing stage that throws both
heat and cheer so abundantly. And
too, complete combustion is so eas
ily obtained—very little formation
of soot, a small amount of ash and
no clinkers attend the use of wood
as a fireplace fuel. All these ad
vantages make wool a most desir
able and efficient fuel to use in the
fireplace.
Can Be Used In Furnace
For the average city folk who
are looking for a way to reduce
fuel bills these days the use of
wood in the furnace presents an
opportunity to accomplish this sav
ing. This has been demonstrated
repeatedly. Last winter a certain
seven-room house was heated at a
great saving almost exclusively
with wood. The only other fuel
used during the entire winter was
a half ton of coal. The furnace
(hot air) used wood very efficient
ly without change of grates. It
was learned, however, that it was
necessary to maintain at all times
a thick bed of ashes on the grate
and to keep the furnace well
checked. Ashes accumulated very
slowly and what were produced
were spread on the garden when
carried out. Thoroughly seasoned
wood only was used, which prac
tice no doubt was largely respon
sible for the almost total lack of
formation of creosote in flues.
Practically no shaking of the grate
was done.
The use of wood and coal toge
ther has been tried with fairly good
success. The most convenient
combination of this sort was found
to be the use of wood during the
day and wood and coal during the
night/. Although, in a Raleigh
home last spring a wood fire was
carried through a 3 6-hour period
without attention or additional
fuel. It has also been found that
in burning wood in a furnace with
a coal grate that the use of coal
occasionally helps maintain a bed
of ashes to cover the grate.
It is granted that a wood fire
in the furnace requires a little
more attention than one using oth
er fuels but the tite of good-sized
cfiunkc of seasoned hardwood and
proper handling of grates and
drafts goes far in eliminating this
objection. But for those who are
ambitious to cut the family ex
penses the extra amount of at
tention required is a good invest
ment.
SAYS SPEAKEASIES
FLIMFLAM PATRONS
Youngtown, Ohio,—Behind the
barred doors of most of this city’s
speakeasies are secrets that even the
regular customers don’t know, ac
cording to Chief of Police Claren
ce Coppersmith.
Pointing to a bottle taken re
cently in a raid, Coppersmith said:
"Its nothing but near beer. The
chemist found that it contained
fourtenths of one per cent, of al
cohol.”
But the customer still tells the
doorkeeper that ”"106 sent me”
for the privilege^ of buying this,
Coppersmith said.
QUICKER, BETTER
RELIEF from use of
Black-Drauglit
*‘I have taken Black-Draught, off
and on when needed, for twenty
five years, for It is easy to take,”
writes Mr. George T. Wharton, of
Petersburg, Va. “I take it for con
stipation and when I have that
dull, tired feeling. I take it for
colds and other complaints where
a good laxative is needed, and I
believe it gives me quicker and
better relief than any other medi
cine I know. It certainly has
been a help to me.”
P. 8. — If you have Children, give
them the new, pleaaant-tasting
SYRUP of Thedford’a Blaok-Draught.

TIME
COUNTS
when you*re in PAIN!
Insist on genuine Bayer Aspirin;
not only for its safety,, but its speed.
Take a tablet of Bayer Aspirin
and some other tablet, and drop
them in water. Then watch the
Bayer tablet dissolve—rapidly and
completely. See how long it takes to
melt down the other.
That’s an easy way to test the
value of “bargain” preparations. It’s
a far better way than testing them
in your stomach 1
Bayer ^Aspirin offers safe and
speedy relief of headaches, colds,
a sore throat, neuralgia, neuritis,
lumbago, rheumatism, or periodic
pain. It contains no coarse, irritating
particles or impurities.

BRITISH COTTON
INDUSTRY BOOMS
Manchester, Eng.,—The British
cotton industry momentarily is

- SNAKE KILLS 100
Bombay, India.—A snake leaped
from a tree to a ferryboat near
Kolhapur, causing the passengers
to rush to one side of the boat,
which turned over and drowned
approximately 100. The accident
occured on a flooded river, which
raised the water level to a point
near the tree.
FAT SAVES HER LIFE
Chicago.—Some women may
want to be thin, but right now
Mrs. Bertha Meyer, who became
dizzy and fell in Lake Michigan,
is glad she isn’t. She remained a
float until rescued by two men.
Mrs. Meyer’s size was held respon
sible for her floating. She weighs
200 pounds.
DIVORCES EASY AND CHEAP
Mexico City.—Quick, cheap and
