PLANS FOR REDUCING
THE COST OF HEATING
S. B. Flagg Suggests Selection OF
Cheapest Fuel and Regulation
CT Drafts.
Methods of Economy in Use of Coal
and Gas Outlined to House
keepers Alliance.

Selection of the cheapest fuel that
will give satisfactory service. proper
firing and proper regulation of drafts
and care of the heater were urged as
means to cut down the fuel bill for
heating by S. B. Flagg. fuel engineer
of the United States bureau of mines,
in an address before the Housekeepers'
Alliance yesterday afternoon.
Fuel savings in the kitchen may be
effected by planning the work so that
the best use is made of heat generated
and also by controlling the combustion
of the fuel SO that the required amount
of heat is produced with a minimum of
fuel consumption, said Mr.. Flagg. "lf
coal range is being used and hot
oven for baking and hot fire for boil
ing or frying is required, little plan
ming may make it just as convenient
to do both kinds of cooking at the
same time and thereby save fuel. IL
gas be the means of cooking the eco
nomical cook will use the simmering
burner for many purposes when others
light the larger burners and use more
gas.
