The Ash Accumulation It Is often a real question of \ what to do with the accumulation of ashes before the ash-man comes for them. The best answer to that j question Is “don't have any 1 aches to accumulate.'' Cot a gas range and do away with this as well as mucli other unnecessary labor. Every add..,c nal step adds to the burden of general housework.
