If the latter is sprinkled liberally over the coal, either in the bin or as it is pnt into the furnace, it will make it burn more evenly »clean asb, and will also prevent clinkers. Of course there is some chem ical explanation for this, but the ordinary housewife does not care much about th» reasons. She is satisfied that it Is so,-H z .
