Heating Your House

GONE Of our friends like one kind of
- heat, others like another kind, and each
is sure that the kind he has or hasn't, as
the case may be, is the right one to use.
There is hot air. steam and hot water. and
then variations of these. What do we know
about them?
HOT AIR for the small house is
without doubt the best system Easily ma
nipulated by the householder, it acts
quickly and is healthful. There is a great
deal Of adverse criticism to hot-air heating
However, we can assure the reader that
this is caused by plants which have been
improperly installed, and not by any de-
merits of the system itself. II it is laid out
by one who knows how, it has been proved
conclusively to be most satisfactory
STEAM can hardly be said to be the prop
er system of heating for the small house. It
is necessary to wait for steam to be raised
before any heat is obtained, and then at
tention is required to keep up steam. 1t is
better used in large buildings, where it pays

rnaninulation by the householder. lts au-
vantage over steam is that OF immedlate
circulation Of the water. As soon as tle
fire ia started and the water gets warm
II begins 10 circulate and heat is obtained
through the house and with increasing torce
as the water gets hotter.
There Is a combination system OF NOT
water and hot air which can be used 10 good
advantage under certain conditions but thls
is not generally advisable.
when radiators are Objectionable the 'dl-
rect-ludircct" hot-water heating may ne
adopted, at least on the first floor. Ihe
radiators are placed under the floor in the
basement. cnCased in sheet iron and con-
nccted with the outside air, which Circulates
through the incased radiators into the
rooms through registers. This manner OF
heating however, is more expensive 10 IN

Very often when VIC cannot seem to get
results we are apt TO become disappointed
with the heating system we have had IN
stalled in our house. Sometimes this Is
caused bv our lack Of knowledge as to how
10 run the system. so we should have the
heating man. or our architect explain It all
carefully 10 us. Besides then being able to
