The accumulations of soot on heating surfaces reduce the value of the fuel, and frequently clog the flues and start fires. Joseph - Harrington, administrative engineer for the United States fuel administration, located in Chicago, suggests the following plan|- for removal of soot: The fire is put into good condition with a substantial body of hot fuel. Common salt, thoroughly dried, is then thrown or sprinkled onto the incandescept fuel bed in a quantity de- pending entirely on the size of the furnace. In the case of a house heating furnace, one pound at a time is ample; in the case of a large power plant boiler, four or five scoops full may be required. The dampers are kept open so as to maintain the furnace temperature and the salt is allowed to remain until the fumes have entirely disappeared. . Immediately upon charging the salt, the furnace becomes filled with dense white fumes which may reguire as much as half an hour to entirely disappear. If results are not secured on the first application, it should be repeated as many times as necessary. Once the heating surface is thoroughly cleaned a small application every few days is usually sufficient to keep it so. Everyone using any kind of coal is urged by the admin- istration to use this remarkably simple and cheap process for getting rid of the soot, cleaning and heating surfaces of boilers, thus saving large amounts of coal, preventing fires from chim- neys and generally conserving all along the line of heating and the production of power. %0 i e () — KOORS BROS. CO. DESERVE GREAT CREDIT. ‘When that disastrous fire played havoc with the Koors Bros. Co. plant, they were at that time contemplating improve- ments upon the big building, to take care of increasing business, but we have frequently remarked before that “destruction goes before improvement,” and readers of The Pioneer were last night presenfed the handsome structure that is in the course of construction to house a splendid equipme: of tggfigginess.in many lines, wh nt being rebu going forward in its remodelling wi er attracti intact. The.new plant will enable this enterprising and energeti fi'rm to do the things it had in mind, and-that it is being done right there is no question, and will be a valuable asset to Bemidji and an ornament to the business djstrict. e CENTRALIA IN HISTORY. (St. Paul Dispatch,) It is not improbable that Centralia will go down in history as another Bunker Hill. The red coats fired upon'the American idea at Bunker Hill and were driven from the country. The red radicals fired upon the American Legion—the same Ameri- can idea—at Centralia and the work qf driving them from the country has begun and will be pushed to a finish. _———— T —— REX SATURDAY. ‘ In the days of the unfenced West i _ CHILD OF THE WOODS, The producers. of ‘“‘A-Daughter of the Wolf,” Lila Leé’s latest Para- monut picture, which will be exhibit- ed at the Elko theatre last times to- night, pronounce it the greatest achievement of-her career as a motion picture star. " In the role of the little child of the great North Woods, she is ex- cellent and gives a vivid and true-to- life portrayal. The story itself abounds in thrills.l fights and gripping situations and ae- picts the adventures of the litt.e daughter of ‘a rough fur smuggler known as Wolf Ainsworth. She goes with him to the city across the bor- der where he disposes of his furs, and | there she falls in love with a rich young man, whose role is played by Elliott Dexter. Two other interest- ing short subjects are also on the Elko program tonight. " FINE SCREEN ROMANCE. One of the most delightful screen romances ever produced will come to the Elko theatre tomorrow and Sat- urday when ‘The’ Misleading Wid- ow,” a new Paramount-Artcraft pic- ture, starring Billie Burke, will be shown. This picture relates the amusing story of Mrs. R:,, p'- Tara- dine, whose husband deseitéd: her soon after their marriage necaiiSe of her extravagance. She ..

Matters are finally adjusted in a most delightful manner. “Fatty’” Arbuckle in his newest comedy, “Back Stage,” and music by the Elko orchestra each evening, are added attractions at the Elko for Fri- day and Saturday. TO AROUSE HEAVY SLEEPER P Writer Recommends That It Be Done With an Odor, Preferably Not Too Powerful. “What is the best method of waking a soundly sleeping person?” is a ques- tion quite a few millions of persons would like to have answered, there be- ing few who have not or do not con- tinue to exhaust every scheme and method known to them to rouse some ‘heavy-headed members of -their fam- ilies in time to eat breakfast and get to the office or school on time. “With an odor, undoubtedly,” = . well-known physiciao—replied . to the question. “The sense of smell is the most easily aroused of any of the five. :We have trained ourselves to disregard noises—or else we ‘'would get no sleep at all in a city. .In the country the same sounds which we utterly disre- gard in town would awaken us in- stantly,” says the Kansas City Star. “To shake a person is more or'less suc- cessful, as a rule, but often it serves to only half rouse the Xleeper, and he turns over and goes to sleep again, or, if he does wake, he is apt te.be in a bad humor. Any really unusual noise “dleeper wike¥ at once—is wide awake, Almost any odor will answer, if not too faint. Perfume of any kind is espe- clally good. Ammonia, camphor—in fact anything with a decided odor, will do, but it should not be too powerful, or the awakening will be violent.” WIND HELPS ROAD BUILDERS When Used in Construction of High. ways In New Mexico Experiment Is 8uccessful.

NEWS OF THE FARNUM TONIGHT—REX. .. One wonders how it is that Wil- liam Farnum always produces good photoplays. After ‘““Les Miserables” -end” “The rainbow Trail,” it would be natural to assume that he would have trouble getting new, attractive, stories. He must know where good stories grow, for ‘“The Man Hunter” which will be seen tonight and to- morrow at the Rex ‘theatre, is as .. thrilling a screen offering as has . been seen here in some time. The picture has attracted crowds and . everyone has applauded it. “The Man Hunter” begins with Farrum as a care-free man of wealth in ‘London. He loses his fortune through a“trick of an alleged friend who sells him oil stocks which he knows to be worthless at that time. Mr. Farnum, as George Arnold fol- lows this man across the sea and part desires in marriage. A Fox Sunshine comedy in two parts will also be shown.
