The Seaman's Friend Society has
bowed to the inevitable and increased
the cost of sleeping. It has been an
nounced that after February 1st the
minimum price for a bunk at the
Sailor's Home in the port of New
.York will be twenty cents instead of
fifteen cents as heretofore. Ships'
officers who have enjoyed the luxury
of a room at the institution for half a
dollar will ow be forced to give six
ty cents for the same privilage. The
society has apparently little compunc
tion in making increased charges as
the wages of sailors who ship from
this quarter of the world has gone up
from fifty to one hundred per cent in
recent years. Then too the sailor
man deserves less sympathy than
other people in this advance in the
cost of living, for he has a relief that
most of us have not. He can go toj
sea when they treat him iharshly on
land. The ocean may be particularly
unsafe these days, but at least there
is no chance of advancing its prices.
The law says just how much hard
tack and how many potatoes the sail
or shall receive each day no matter
'what his wage may be and there is
always a berth ready for him when he
resents the price of those on shore.
' Once more he is to be envied. He has
1 always boasted that he belongs to a
class exempt from the ordinary wor
' ries of life, and it appears to be true
in this instance. It is only when we
' catch him ashore that we can make
ihim share our ills, chiefest of which
! is just now the high cost of living.

SOLID COMFORT
Standing, Sitting or Lying Down
When you stop to think that you spend betweea five and sue thousaiul
hours every year in your corset, you must realize how imporbtn it is
that you have a perfectly comfortable co;set.
A poorly fitting corset frequently leads fc severe nerross and organic
troubles which cause years of suffering.
In the MO DART Corset we have a garment that always gives genuine
comfort, Bitting, standing or lying down.

DIAMOND BRIQUET
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 asphal asphalt with all the light, 6melly 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 Briqncts
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 iR not removed from the grates regu
larly. 5. A Briquet fire requires much less care tham one of raw fuel.
Suggestions for Getting Best Results from DIAMOND BRIQUETS
Clean out firebox thoroughly when you comments using Briquets.
Use more kindling than used for lump coal. This will also aid is
keeping chimney clean.
Give the fire full draft until well started. This bums the smoke
and while making more heat also prevents soot.
Check the draft after fire is well started; very little draft is
needed then, and fuel consumption will be reduced.
When adding move Briquets increase the chimney draft whila
stove or furnace b open. This will prevent smok from eecspisg
into the room.
A gentle shikin t will clean the grates.
If you have a strong draft carry some BriqueN i-hos on the
grates to help regulate tV.e five. Briquet ashes are light snot porus
and the drnft can work through.
For banking or .o hold over night, est off all draft completely
after applying the Briquets. If you wish to bank fire every sifiht.
you will get the nc-t results by carrying a d(p firs, leaving ashes
on the grate.
