Coal Briquettes

Dear Aunt Daisy, I was very interested in the "Miramar" use of coal dust with soda, but could you te y me if she means’ washing — soda or not? Would you also tell me how to make coal briquettes, as I have quite a lot of coal dust I would like to use up. I know you have had it in The Listener before, but I have misplaced it and would be very grateful if you would.tell me again. Thanking you very much. Taranaki, — Yes, it is washing soda which is used with the coal dust. Here is the recipe for briquettes, but I think it is rather

@ messy, job, and you would find it just as useful to use the second and easier method. ‘ 1, BRIQUETTES. To each dustpan of coal dust use I teacup of kerosene; 14 dustpan of sawdust; 5oz, flour; 2 pint cold water; and 1 pint boiling water. Make a smooth paste of flout and cold water. Stir in boiling water, and boil

— a arene till thick. Put paste in a pail with kerosene and mix together, then stir in the sawdust and enough coal dust to make | a stiff mixture. Form into balls, re ; on paper-covered tray to dry. 2. MOCK BRIQUETTES, One hand- | ful of washing soda dissolved in 2 quarts | of water. Spread it or pour it over a sackful of coal dust or slack, and fill | it into paper bags, for use when re- | quired to bank up a fire.
