AVOID ALL OvEUREATING 4
AND SAVE COAL SUPPLY
Common Channels of Heat Waste
in American Homes Easily
Corrected.

Avoid overheating your house this
winter.
Do not let the temperature stay
above Is degrees.
Everybody do this and millions Of
tons of coal viii be saved In this coun-
try.
This will mean:
More coal to prosecute the war.
Smaller annual fuel bills.
Improvement in the health Of the
people.
DR.. H.. A. Garfield, the governments
fuel administrator, says:
1T is the duty Of every American
TO save coal this winter. II every fam
ily win save ton Of coal, If every in
dusrial plant win save 10 per cent OF
the coal it uses, which 10 per cent it
now wastes, the coal problem will be
largely solved
Several channels Of heat waste are
common in American homes. One is
the chimney, through which an enor-
nous amount of heat is wasted. Win
dows and loosely constructed roofs
provide other means Of loss At
time like this, when fuel is scarce and
the government needs all the coal it
can get for war work, all such leak
ages should be stopped as much as
possible.
From a health standpoint the use
of less coal has an important bearing
Overheating of homes, offices and other
buildings is the rule rather than the
exception, according to the statement
quoted. A reduced temperature viii
save coal and be less injurious to the
human body.
Thermostats, which automatically
turn on and shut off the heat as re-
quired, even while the dweliers sleep.
are one means for preventing over
heating and saving coal. Intelligent
handling Of the heating plant, how
eyer, is the most important require
ment in the task of conserving the
coal supply in the American home.

ROOSTER ATE DIAMONDS
Picked From Setting While Owner Is
inspecting Poultry Display.

Peter Hagan, a figure in the ports $
shipping Of Philadelphia for AZ years.
IS minus a 5000 diamond, which a
rooster picked from its setting in his
ring while he was inspecting the poul-
tiy display at the Readlag fair a few
days ago
Experts state that chickens are at
tracted by any bright object and that
this was the cause Of the rooster grab
biIg at the diamond, which was the
middle gem Of the three in the set
ting,
Mr.. Hagan said that he missed the
diamond at once when the rooster
snapped at the ring, but there were so
many in sight that he was unable to
tell which one took the diamond, his
attention at that time being turned
in another direction.
When he turned around all chickens
looked alike to him. His offer to pur-
chase all the roosters on display was
refused by the owners, as they were
prize birds.

The Atlantic fleet was to visit in an

The duy set for the fleet to arrive

All that he can make goes. to sup
