Britches~' Tax Condemned home-owners that I should like to correct. They have a mistaken idea that when a fire is low, all they have to do is to shake the grates vigorously and the fire will flare up again. Nothing could be further from 1 the fact. A shallow, half-burnedout fire ·cannot be revived by shaking most of the remaining coals into the ashpit, The simple way to revive it is to add a sprinkling of fresh coal, giving it time to ignite. When it is burning well, shake the grates gently, stopping when the first red glow shows in the ashpit. Then refuel the fire, remembering to fill the firebox to the level of the bottom of the fire door. This will provide a deep fire, which is considerably more economical than a shallow one, for it burns less coal and lasts a longer period of time. Also, it minimizes the attention you have to give a shallow fire in trying to revive it.
