Using Slack Coal
Dear Aunt Daisy, Would you please tell us again how to use up the*slack from the coal. "Durham." The easiest way to use the slack-coal, and one which gives a long-lasting bright fire, is just to fill your shovel with the coal-dust, and sprinkle it all over witk a little finely powdered washing soda. Empty it very gently over the firedo not tip it on violently. Some people
advocate making a solution of washing soda-about one good handful dissolved in 2 quarts of water-and pouring this over about a small sackful of coal-dust. Then make it into little heaps, or even fill into paper bags, and use it to bank up a fire.
