IT so desired when your shipment amounts to $100.00 or more, we will *
k wire our hid and if not entirely satisfactory you may wire at our expense 9
and we will ship to any place you designate. •
All we ask of you is to he fail with yourself as well as with us and •
make us a trial shipment, the result will make you a steady shipper. •

BUREAU OF MINES
PLANS TO GET RID OF
SMOKE NUISANt E
WASHINGTON. March The
smoke evil, which costs each city
dweller of this country from $12 to
$20 each year in property damage
alone, can not be abated if the people
continue to use in the old way the
same smoky coal, according to thr
bureau of mines, department of th**
interior. Now the bureau maintains
that the host way to get rid of the
smoke plague in the residential por
tions of the cities is to first turn the
bituminous coal ir.to coke and gas,
which arc smokeless, the coke being
used for house-heating and gas for
rooking. In this way the valuable by
products from the coal can be saved.
The factories may continue as us ia»
to use the soft coals, for it has been
demonstrated that in the boiler and
heating plants the coal can be burned
practically smokelessly.
