HOW TO REMOVE SOFT COAL SOOT Common salt, either of the table va riety or fine grain rock salt( such as is used in making ice cream), has been found effective in removing soot and tar from the heating surface, flues, moke pipes or chimneys of hot water, ihot air or steam plants in residences or apartment buildings. For a residence of eight or ten (rooms, proceed as follows: Get the fire into good condition so that the fuel bed is bright or incan descent and on the hottest part of the tfire spread about two or three handfuls I of salt then close the fire door and open the drafts. The heating plant ilwill immediately become filled with dense white fumes which will pene trate to every part of the furnace, smoke flues and chimney, and in, from one-half to one hour, the effects of the I salt will disappear. Then brighten up the fire again and repeat the operation jtwo or more times until" all heating surfaces have been entirely cleaned. Later one application of the salt treatment once or twice a week will keep the heating surface in clean and efficient condition. The chemical action will not attack iron or be in any way detrimental to your heating plant. For larger or smaller heatlng'.plants, increase or decrease the amount of salt proportionately.
