Some Ways of Saving Fuel.

More heat will be obtained from less
coal if all notwithstanding surfaces are
kept free from SCOT and dust. Hot-air
pipes carry more heat if clean.
Circulating air is more easily heated
than still air filled with impurities.
To get the maximum of heat from
coal. the air in the house should be
changed once an hour.
Moist air heated to 65 degrees Fahr-
enheit is as comfortable as dry air
heated to 70 or 75 degrees, according to
specialists of the department of ag-
riculture. The moisture can be sup
piled by evaporation of water at the
point at which the heat enters the
room, in the case of the furnace. A
pan of water on the radiator or stove
will answer the same purpose.
If a continual fire in the range is
not absolutely necessary q combina-
ton of wood and coal is economical.
Use wood for the preparation of break
fast and supper, and coal for the mid
day dinner and principal baking.
The fireplace is luxury in winter
but an economy in spring and fall.
Coal should not be burned in the fire.

rural home by prunings from trees and
shrubs, bits of waste wood and broken
boxes. The fireplace insures ventila-

When the fact began to be realized
that the number of domesticated anil

equal to the demand, various other
sources which might be used to help
supplement the regular supply were in

number of rabbits and encouraging
their use for food. This was in line

Those who know good food long ago
realized that not even chicken couid

and finding it profitable.

I know a mother with four children

singing regularly with each of her
babies.
There are many lovely songs which
mother can learn, and the best of
all are the folk songs of different
countries.

and familiar ones in an inexpensive

These include English and other for

breakfast and quiet one as he lies

for the music of his life.
With the older babies have n regu-
lar singing time. Five o'clock is a
good hour. The children of whom
speak had singing party every day
at five, and sometimes the neighbors
came in and sang with them. Their
mother grew to be such a strong in
fiuence in the community that many
persons came to her for advice anC
refreshment.
