the sun
Membership all doors and windows
and put asbestos around all furnaces,
boilers and cellar pipes used for heating
purposes.
Reduce the home temperature to 81

cording to all economic rules.
Bedrooms. where windows are opened
for the night or otherwise. should be
shut off from heat. Use blankets and
feel better in the morning.
Wear heavier clothing. This material
~ saves body heat.
Thoroughly clean SCOT from pipes and
boilers and do not mind doing a little
work in the cellar seeing that window
panes are tight and weatherstripped like
the other parts of the house
Burn oil, wood, coke and bituminous
when possible Use gas for cooking and
heating Gas lighting at night aids il
| heating the home, stores and buildings
where used
Use heavy draperies on doors and win
| dows for interior home decoration. This
aids in outstanding interior heat supply.

THAYER FARM FOR TROOPS.
Offer of Estate Includes Use of Arts
tocratic Cows.

LANCASTER, Mass, Sept. l6.-Mrs.
Nathaniel Thayer, multi millionaire, has
offered her 200 acre farm, one of the
finest in the country, to the govern
ment for the use of the troops sta.
toned at the New England cantonment,
Camp Devens.
The farm is stocked with the latest
devices for cultivation and includes a
fine herd of Jersey cows, each of which
has a pedigree as long as descendant
of the Pilgrim Fathers. The broad
meadows and streams which are a part
of the estate have long formed one of
the beauty spots of the old town There
is garden space sufficient to raise all
the vegetables the boys at the camp
could consume.
There are no strings to the offer and
no conditions, except that it be re.
turned at the close of the war in as
good condition as it is now.
