How to Save Coal Although a coal fire always bu ns better, especially at the start, when lighted from the bottom. It has bee* found to be much more economical ot coal If the paper and kindling wood are placed above the coal, says Popular Me -hanlcs. A few small coals end cinders are spread over tho top of the kindling wood to enable the coal fire to be started. After the top layer begins to burn properly, the fire will spread solwly downward, if the air draft to right. This me. hod secures th* most complete combustion because the gases from the unburned coal at the bottom must paas through the burning layer at the top. and thus become completely burned. It Is admittedly harder to build and control this kind of a fire, but the saving m fuel often justifies the extra trouble.
