SAVE COAL AND KEEP WARM,
GOV. WHITMAN TELLS HOW.
ALBANY, N. Y., Dec. 20.—Save coal
and at the same time keep warm. Gov.
Whitman says it can be done, and has
issued a list of ‘‘don’ts and does”
which he urges New Yorkers to fol
low in firing up this winter. The
governor’s suggestions follow:
Not burn coal in open grate.
Not have every room heated; close
off spare rooms.
See there are no cracks at floor line
of furnace, permitting air leakage Into
ashpit.
Keep entire fuel space of range or
furnace filled; thin fires mean waste.
Feed fire and shake grate at regul
ar intervals; two or three times dally
Is sufficient.
Shake down the ashes before adding
coal; stop shaking when the first
bright coal drops.
Don’t leave feed-door draughts
open.
Keep the ashpit empty; sift all^
ashes to recover good coal dropped
through grate.

AS “TEDDY” WOULD SAY:
“BULLY STORY ON BRYAN”
(By United Press)
LINCOLN, Neb., Dec. 20.—Except!
that it was another man and a wild:
steer, instead of W. J. Bryan and an
irate bull, who played the leading!
parts, the story recently published!
about an animal attacking the former!
secretary of state while hunting in j
Arizona, was substantially correct,
Bryan told his friends while on a re
cent visit to his home here.
Bryan said a member of the hunt-J
ing party was attacked by an angry
steer and forced by the animal to
climb a tree. But the animal had
been shot before Byran arrived on
the scene.
A newspaper man, Bryan said, de
cided that the value of the story
would be increased for purposes of
sale by the substitution of Mr. Bryan's
name for that of his hunting com
panion, so the substitution was made.
