CALORIMETER SHOWS
HARDEST HOME WORK
Washing, Sweeping and Scrub
bing Most Laborious.
Series Of Experiments Made on En-
ergy Expended by Woman in Per-
formance of Household Tasks
Ways of Tightening.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
1t does not require q laboratory ex-
periment to convince any woman that
washing and scrubbing are about the
hardest work she has to do; but it will
be interesting to many housekeepers to
know the order In which their tasks
rank when tested under laboratory
conditions. For this purpose spe-
cially designed respiration calorimeter
was used by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. The results were
measured in calories, for series of 50
experiments on energy expenditure in
the performance of household tasks.
1t was found that such light tasks
as sewing, crocheting, knitting, darn
ing. and embroidering required an av-
erage expenditure of nine calories per
,-our more than that when the same
subject was sitting quietly in a chair.
Washing, sweeping, and scrubbing
hoors caused an increased energy ex-
penditure of about fifty calories per
hour over the expenditure at rest.
Ironing, dressing child, and dish
washing each required about twenty
four calories per hour.
Ways of tightening the labor of va
rious household tasks were also stud
led. 1t was found, for example, that
when the height Of the dishwashing
table was varied the energy expendi-
ture varied. If the subject worked in
a comfortable position the expenditure
of energy was 81 calories an hour. 1t
was 25 calories when the wash pan
was set too high so that her arms
cries when she was obliged to bend
over.

Bulletin 1894, Operating Home-Heat-
Ing Plant" published by the depart
ment Many rural homes are now pro-
vided with furnaces, and the publica-
ton was prepared as guide to their
efficient operation, particularly in get
ting the most heat out of the fuel used
and In making the home as healthful
as possible.
The satisfactory and efficient heat
ing Of homes, according to the bulletin,
requires that the chimney flue be of
proper size and in the proper place.
that the proper heating equipment be
installed correctly, that the plant be
understood thoroughly and operated
so that it gives the most heat from
the fuel consumed, that the house be
constructed so that the heat is held
in, that the air be kept moist, and that
enough fresh air be admitted either
continuously or from time to time to
avoid the discomfort or unhealthful
conditions due to accumulation of car
bonic-acid gas. In selecting fuel, the
bulletin suggests that different kinds
and sizes of coal should be tried out.
Should Be Properly Installed.
The best and highest-priced heater
improperly installed may give less sat

For this reason a man known to un-
derstand his business should install
the plant. In selecting the furnace,
consult owners of homes who have
had experience in operating furnaces
of different types.
Practically all heating plants have
four dampers. A draft damper in the
door of the ash pit Is opened to admit
air through the fire. which causes 1t
to burn rapidly. A check damper To-
Gated in the smoke pipe is opened to
admit cold air into the fiue, thus in
terfering with the draft and retard-
ing the burning of fuel in the heater.
The damper located in the feed door
is used for the same purpose. Through
1t cold air Is admitted directly over
the fire, and if opened wide it acts
as check. When regulated properly

two and one-half feet long. Screw the
strips TO the under side of the ex-
tension so they will just come inside

fitting slots are cut in the sides of the
table through which the strips are
pushed to hold the extension securely.
