PROBING NOW
REGARDED AS ECONOMY
Keeps Out Much Cold Air anc
Causes Saving on
Fuel.

The saving of fuel was not seriously
considered in the building of most
houses. Many have been shabbily
built and permit too much cold air to
enter. Only a few years ago fuel
was cheap and few bothered about
saving it, While it is true that most
attention should be given to proper
building of new houses, much can be
done to prevent the loss of heat in
poorly built and run down houses. To
save heat now will teach those who
ptan TO build new houses the value
or weather-proofing and good con-
structlon' Our own comfort and that
OF our neighbors demands that we OBJ
tain the most heat from our coal
without waste, and that we try to re-
duce our requirements as much as
possible.
All houses should be well ventilated.
put this does not mean that unregu-
lated drafts of cold air should sweep
through the house at all times 1t
should also be remembered that in
cold weather the warm air is contin-
ually escaping. and, as it passes
through holes and cracks in the walls
1t Is at once replaced by the cold out
of-door air
Cracks around the windows and
doors. broken window panes and un-
protected heating pipes indicate that
fuei is being wasted. Ii one family
wastes fuel during a coal shortage it
may mean that another family will
nave to suffer for 1t if there is not
enough coal to supply the usual
amounts during the winter.
Many suggestions appear from time
10 time as to how to save coal Some
are excellent and can be followed cas-
ily and at little expense, while others
involve an expenditure which makes
them impracticable. However. brok-
en- window panes can be replaced and
cracks around doors and windows
closed up-for this cost is less than
the cost of the extra fuel that will
otherwise be burned. Millions of tons
or coal can be saved during a winter
by the making of slight repairs on
houses and the exercising of little
more care in the burning of~coal
Some owners have u reliable man
