Soon Over His Cold. Everyone speaks well of Chamber lain's Cough Remedy after havimg used it. Mrs. George Lewis, PittefieU N. Y., has this to say regarding it:' "Last winter my little boy, five years old, was sick with a cold for tw or three weeks. I doctored him and used various cough medicines but nothing did him much good until I began nsang Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. He then improved vapidly and in a few days was over his cold." front Lftced DIAMOND BARIQUET 1 Diamond Briquets are madefrom the purest, richest portions of coal veins that have made the Pacific Coast Coal Company famous. The coal is ground fine, dried thoroughly and then mixed with the purest of asphalt asphalt with all the light, smelly oils burned off. This rich, soft mass then goes through massive presses that give it the tremendous pressure of almost 5000 pounds to the square inch. It emerges in briquets of cylindrical shape with rounded ends, each weighing 10 1-2 ounces, and each stamped with a diamond. Diamond Briquets have a heating value of 13,432 British Ther mal Units to the pound and extended tests prove them conclusively to be fully 10 per cent better than the best house coal now on the mar ket, with only eight and a fraction per cent ash. What the United States Bureau of Mines Says About Briquets 1. The even size of Briquets permits a more regular and thor ough combustion in the firebox or furnace. 2. Briquets produce much less smoke and in many cases prac tically no smoke. 3. They retain their shape in the fire and do not coke suffici ently to cut off the needed supply of air. 4. They burn to a fine ash without clinkering. Clinkers can be formed if all the absolute ash is not removed from the grates regu larly. 5. A Briquet fire requires much less care than one of raw fuel. Suggestions for Getting Best Results from DIAMOND BRIQUETS Clean out firebox thoroughly when you commence using Briquets. Use more kindling than used for lump coal. This will also aid in keeping chimney clean. , Give the, fire full draft until well started. This burns the smoke and while making more heat also prevents soot. Check tho diaft after fire is well started; very little draft is needed then, and fuel consumption will be reduced. When adding more Briquets increase the chimney draft while stove or furnace is open. This will prevent smoke from escaping into the room. A gentle shaki'i-r will clean the grates. If you have a strong draft carry some Briqueti oshe3 on the grates to help regulate t!ie fire. -Briquet ashes are light and porus and the draft enn worl: through. For banking to hold over night, cut off all draft completely after applying the Uriqucts. If you wish to bank fires every niKbt, you will get the .is?t results by carrying a deep fire, leaving ashes on the grate. THE J. D.
