COOKING PROCESS
WILL SAVE COAL
Black Benefactor Covers a
Wide Scope
Few people arc aware that coal .s
the ancestor of more useful products
than any other element of nature avail-
alle to nuii From the time we rise
until the i!ay U done we maintain an
intimate association with some by-product
of coal. The leavening agent in
our bread and the gas we bake it with
are from coal; so are the agents that
tan our shoes nn that vulcanize the
t'jbber in our motor car tires.
We also have to thank our black
benefactor for the various forms of am-
monia that go into fertiliiing refrige-
rating electric batteries high explos-
ives and household uses; for aspirin
salicylic acid and many cures for com-
mon colds; for elements used in manu-
facturing insulating coalings phono-
graph records and pi e stems; for
benzol the most valuable fuel for motor
cars ami internal combustion engines;
tor food preservatives moth balls and
disinfectants; for Prussian blue and
aniline black the fundamental colors
in the live industry. Not everyone
knows that though the coal in our cel-
lar bins contains picric raid and trin-
itrotoluol the highest explosives
known and the basic products that at
present go into shell manufacture it
also carries locked in itself oil for
wintcrgreen and the most delicate fla-
vorings and perfume.
The most barbaric practice in our in-
dustrial life is our custom of burning
raw coal. I et me briefly show the loss
we at present sustain : Of our annuil
bituminous coal production 40 percent
ii used for steam or industrial pur-
poses 27 percent is burned by the rail-
roads 15 percent is domestic coal and
the remaining 18 percent goes for cok-
ing exports smithing v-as houses and
bunkering Assuming that it is pos-
sible to obtain the by products from
only 25 percent of the industrial coal
and 50 percent of the railroad fuel
through establishing central stations
and electrifving ; also that all of the
domestic coal can be coked first we
then find thai I').IU)IMI tons of bitu-
minous that is now burned raw should
be coked
If but two-thirds of this total ton-
nage can be successfully subjected to
by-product practice the saving based
cm pre-war prices would be $UK.mKI.(IU)
annually. In other words more than
KOO.OK'.OXI worth of values goes up
in smoke each sear --Saturday Kvc

Merely Breaking
Even Wont Get
You Anywhere
You've got to do more than that. You've got
to ave as you go a few dollars at least. Don't
figure you are playing safe because you are earn-
ing as much as you spend. It's what you un
that counta no matter how much you earn.
Another thing: The man who is breaking even
generally is satisfied and that's a mighty prior
way to be. The very minute you become satis-
fied you automatically cease trying to get ahead ;
to forge on to the next best job or the next best
way of making and saving money.
One of the best ways to put your idle dollars to
work or to save a few of the dollars you spend
is to invest a few dollars regularly in Local Build-
