The value of coke as a fuel, and as a means of economy of coal, is not appreciated sufficiently. A mixed fuel of coal and coke is invaluable for the ordinary purposes of heating, and still more for those cooking and raising steam, as it absorbs the smoke or inflammable gases given off by c< al during combustion, and. renders the fi. c brighter.clearer, and hotter. This is much more apparent where our local coals are used; indeed, owing to the rapidity of burning, some of these threaten to go out of consumption altogether. Coke supplies exactly that which these coals lack—body and resistance. Every householder should buy coals and coke at the same time, and,, if conveuient, mix them ; smaller bills and greater satisfaction will be the result. The price of coke is advertised elsewhere — [Advt.]
