Make every shovel-full count. The following simple rules will make ROCK SPRINGS COAL go farther. Read them and, before you forget it, hang this up for luture reference. 1. Keep the fire pot full. A thin fire lets in too much cold air, and most of the heat goes up the chimney. 2. Keep your fuel bed reason ably compact by using part fine coal. Cold air goes through a pile of big lumps too freely 3. Use the fine coal particularly for banking over night, mid in mild weather. 4. Rock Springs is one of the hottest coals mined. It lasts a long time, too, if kept un der restraint. Restrain it (a) By putting on the dam per and shutting off part of the draft as soon as the fire gets well under way: (b) And by partially banking with fine conl. A steady, glowing fire (not n roaring fire) is the kind that gives the most heat and saves the most coal. 5. Keep the ashes well away from under the grates. G. Don't shake the fire in mild weather. The little ash pro duced by Rock Springs Coal is invaluable for slowing down your fire. 7. Don't shake the fire in cold weather after sparks begin to fall into the ash pit. 8. Keep your smoke pipe dam per chocked off as much as possible at all times. Remember that Smoke and Dirt arc always wasteful.

THE WORLD OF SPORTS I COI'I'OItTil WILL NOT FIGHT AT TI.1AUAXA By H. C. HAMILTON (United Tress Staff Correspondent.) NEW YORK, Jan. 11. Eyes ot bo::ors which have turned with lus cious anticipations to the racetrack at TIJauana, Mexico, believing maybe James W. Cofforth might come through with a tempting orfer for a fight of long duration, may as well pick out some other point that looks good to a boxer. Cofforth is not going to stage any Ights at Tijaunna. As a matter of fact, he gave the project considera tion only onco and that was more than a year ago. Even before the government stepped In and put a stop to his racing activities, James had long since discarded any idea of putting on some top-notch puglists. In a statement to the United Press Corf roth said: "I do not intend to stage any right at Tijauana, dospito the fact that I continually read in the papers that I am going to. However, I do not object to the constantly repeated stories. It makes something to read about." Tinio was when Sunny Jim was the real promoter ot the West. He staged somo of the biggest bouts !

Wh!ei of all the American generals Is It that has given European strategists most food for thought? Oho n guess, or two. or three. And then you will tie wrong, accord ing to a prominent Southern congressman, v ho says It Is not Washington or Sherman or Grant or Robert V.. Lee. "Stenewell .Tael;snn Is the man," this congressman de clared. "I was surprised re cently In talking to British army officers to learn that they have made It a point to study all of Jackson's campaigns. It seems they regard him as tin- cleverest of nil tho American generals, nnd the most capable In maneu vering against odds. "One British otlicer told me that he personally, nlth a stuff of subordinates, had gone on foot over all the ground covered by General Jackson In his great raids during the Civil war. lie snld It was as tine n tactics as could be found where." study In md any- IHt SPARKS FELLOW P-VKR.

The Willard-Gunboat Smith bout which has been a matter of much dispute was one of the historic battles pro duced by the veteran. It may bo that somo twist will give Coffroth a chance to change his mind, since the Lower California Jockey Club has been told it cannot have the patronage of Uncle Sum'!-, soldlera. If Coffroth leaped back into the game with all his onergy it might bo that something could be done to restore boxing again to popular favor in the far west. Joe Welling, now a member of the United States navy, still is wonder ing why Denny Leonard doesn't take a crack at him, since Benny baa de clared himself the champion recog nizer of ability. Of all the contend ers whose claims appear to carry any weight of evidence, that of Welling seems to be the most logical. IriBh Patsy Clinc drew a six-round crack at tho champion's crown, ant! Cline's record doesn't bristle with the important victories Welling lias scored. Chances are, too, that Cline Is going to be given another crack. Maybo Johnny Dundee will be gived an opportunity, but tliero scenes hardly, a chance that Welling will tie sent against the new lightweight title holder. OLD MILL AGAIN USE Only Water Mill Now in Operation in Country Grinds Out Wheat p'lour. Jeffersnnvllle. Iud. Whole wheal flour Is being manufactured at a mill In Clarke county which is 100 years old. and is srid to be the only water mill now In operation In the country. The mill, which Is three miles from Chnrlcstown, Is known as the Tunnoi mill. It Is so called because at a point In Fourteen Mile creek a tunnel has been cut through solid rock, 1)4 feet below the summit of the hill It pene trates and tho mill race Is fed through this tunnel, five feet wide and six feet high, to the overshot water wheel erected in the mill below. The mill Ir of frame, 50 iy :r, feet In size, and the wheel has a diameter of 20 feet, though It Is said there Is room for one of 2(5 feet. The tunnel Is ,'100 feet long. It was built from 1814 to 1S17 by John Work, a Clarke county pioneer and mechanical genius, who with gunpowder and LLs rude bnr- Ing tools, cut two tunneis, one from each end. that met exactly In the cen ter, the work costing lilin, It Is record ed. $:i.000. The mill has run practi cally ever since, and the grinding I;; done by big stone buhrs. CAUSE THIRD OF DEATHS Heart Disease, Tuberculosis and Pneu monia Are Mcst Fatal, According to St.itlstice.
