Yet unthinkingly this is being done. For the smoke pall that daily hovers thicker about metropolitan centers is a slow poison, for children and for all. Rickets, so authority says, results far more directly from lack of sunlight than from deficient food. And city smoke is a favorite breedins ground for respiratory diseases. Not only is the community health affected, but the community pocketbook suffers greatly from the burden of smoke and soot.

Half a billion dollars ($500,000,000) is the estimate of the yearly smoke damage in this country. Health can be protected. The cost of smoke can be saved to the nation. The pall of smoke can be lifted- most easily lifted by burning a naturally sootless and smokeless fuel. Users of Reading Anthracite, the long ing sootless and smokeless fuel, enjoy heating satisfaction while aiding in keeping this city clean.
