Not one of us would thinkingly jeopardize their health, lower their strength, make them easy victims for dread diseases. Yet unthinkingly this is being done. For the smoke pall that daily hovers thicker about metropolitan centers is a slow poison, for children and for all. Rickets, so authority says, results far more directly from lack of sunlight thag from defi- cient food. And city smoke is a favorite breed- ing ground for respiratory disecases. Not only is the community health affected, but the community pocketbook suffers greatly from the burden of smoke and soot. Half a billion dolars ($500,000,000) is the estimate of the yearly smoke damage in this country. Health can be protected. The cost of smoke can be saved to the nation. The pall of smoke can be lifted—most easily lifted by burning a naturally sootless and smokeless fuel. Users of Reading Anthracite, the loag-bura- ing sootless and smoheless fuel, enjoy beating satisfaction while aiding in heeping this city clean. Your coal merchant has it or can get it. A. L.
