Reducing the gas bills depends al
most entirely upon the individual. as
there are very few devices that auto
matically save gas. Most gas appli-
ances mainly require intelligent man
agement in their use.
Fireless gas ranges, triplicate pals
and heat distributors, plus such man
agement, will prove gas savers.
A heat distributor replaces the usual
CRATES of a gas range and gives the top
the appearance of the coal stove with
its lids. This device gives the range a
broad fiat, sanitary cooking surface,
increases the cooking capacity and
saves gas by making it possible to cook
two or more articles by one burner. as
the heat is DETECTED backward. so that
the rear Of the top is also heated and
cooking can be done on it.
In the use of gas il is important 10
have proper combustion. Incomplete
combustion is not only waste Of
money, but a menace TO health-even
10 life. Connecting the gas range TO
a fue is a good method Of carrying
off unburned gases, but it is less essen
tal if the gas is burned with Just the
proper quantity of air. The air is ad-
mitted by means of a small regulator at
the base of each burner. When the
proper mixture is obtained the fame
will be blue, with a blush green inner
cone of sharply defined outline. At
tention to obtaining proper combustion
is a wise precaution and also an econ
omy, as unburned gas is an absolute
loss.
Learn TO read your gas and electric
meters. The company representative
will instruct you in this matter 1t is
simple and useful knowledge that en-
ables you TO check up your monthly bill
and to see how much electricity your
electric iron takes or how much gas
your oven consumes by reading the
meter before and after using.

Reducing Gas and Electric Bills

TIOW to reduce the bills for light
L L and heating is a question in
which everybody is interested. Here
are several ways by which consider
able saving may be effected.
For instance, change that will cut
down your electric lighting bill two
thirds is to replace all carbon filament
lamps with tungsten bulbs. The latter
take one-third as much electricity to
produce the same amount of light.
For the sake of the eyes be sure that
the light is properly shaded and there
is no glare. A frosted bulb dimin-
isbes the luminous intensity, difuses
the light better and gives better
lighted room.
For lights that burn all night, such
rs those in the hall and bathroom. use
a hylo lamp OF attach a socket dimming
device.
When using such appliances as cleo
trio irons, coffee percolators, etc,
proper management will show big
saving in the electric bill As a rule,
an efficient electric iron need not be
"on" for over half of the time it is in
use. After it is once heated very hot
disconnect the cord and continue iron
ing until it has cooled down too low for
further work. Then connect the cord
and heat very hot again. Following
this procedure will give satisfactory
service at highest economy. With
other appliances disconnecting the cord
before finishing with the device will
save current and yet not affect the
work. as usually there is enough stored
heat to produce the desired results.
