HOW TO REDUCE GAS BILL.
Suggestions by Expert For Economical
Use Of Household Lights.

A repair man who was called in to
hunt gas leak gives this timely warn.
ing: mo matter how faint the smell
OF gas. never hunt the leak with n
match. but call up the gas office at
once. The gas may not he apparent
outwardly. but may have collected In
the pipes or In the joists of the wall.
The match applied at the outlet Is
sufficient To produce an explosion that
might blow out the side OF the wall"
As soon ms there Is a perceptible
smell of gas open doors and windows
room where gas is suspected. Illumi.
mating gas mixed equally with air is
one of the greatest explosive COM
pounds known. and a surplus of air
must he provided to avoid danger.
In using the small plate gas stoves
attached by an extra key to the gas
jet see thar the rubber tube fits tight
The least escaping gas, though scarce
~ noticeable. vitiates the atmosphere
and swels the gas bill.
Always turn off the light from a
drop light or gas plate 10y the cock
which supplies the tube IL the lower
cock Is used first the upper one may
be forgotten. and the pressure OF gas
on the rubber surely causes leak.
Occasionally take off the tube and hang
II out TO air to get rid of gas odors
that may be mistaken for leaks.
DO not neglect To turn Off the lower
cock as well. II it is left open bad
accident may result by the force of
the gas accumulated between the time
the gas Is turned on and one has
stopped To apply n match To the
burner This is especially dangerous
In the one plate stoves used i'm many
bathrooms and nurseries for heating
water
In lighting the burner of gas stove
see that the key is fully turned on he
fore applying the match otherwise
the force of the air may drive the
flame back through the key opening
instead Of igniting. DO not turn on
any gas burner until the match Is
ready.
Every housckeeper should know
where the stopcock is that controls the
gas supply Of the house. In case Of
fire or sudden accident such knowl-
edge may save an explosion.
