Almost without exception domestic

Therefore, any OF the hundred ways
in which we habitwlis aud commonly

So far as cold water is concerned,
this Is very small waste indeed, but
It is Il much more serious matter where
hot water Is concerned, the United
States Fuel Administration points ont.
A leaky tap on a hot water pipe will
waste several gallons OF water-and
several pounds Of coal-in an hour.
SEE THAT ALL YOUR WATER
PIPES AND FAUCETS ARE WITH
OUT LEAKS.
A little careful supervision in the
kitchen will often cut in half The
quantity OF hot water used, with an
obvious saving IN coal.
Likewise, many OF MS are spend.
thrills when we get into a bathmb
and use two or three times as much
water as necessary for perfectly
good bath.
Don't let the water run after you
have enough in the tub for a bath.
