rllEEPORT. L. I., March 17—Boland .M Lamb, representing the Freeport tlce and Fuel company, has been hand Ing out hints on how to economize on the use of coal to beat "my high

vprice."

Some of the don'ts he emphas

ises, are: "Don't put in too much coal or too little. Don't crowd it above the top of the lire brick lining in the range, Fill the fuel space twice a day in winter weather, keeping the coal slightly in the tenter. "Don't add small quantities Of coal several times a day, with attendant •shaking that means loss in economy -and comfort. Shake the grate only tw ice a day before fresh coal is put in and sto^ when a bvight light shows

Underneath. "Don't leave, the feed door open. Keep the ashpit empty. "Don't let the ashes bunk -up unJer the grate: ^t not only shuts out air needed for combustion but tends to warp the grate bars."
