EASY RULES GIVEN
FOR SAVING FUEL
Holland Institute Says Interest in
Heating Systems Repays
Home Owners.

BY following few simple rules home
owners can effect material savings in
their Winter fuel bill, according to the
Holland Institute. There is little or no
expense attached to their observance,
the main requisite being just little
more interest in the heating system by
the home owner The following Sug-
geStionS are made:
Ash pit should be cleaned regularly,
as ash accumulations interfere with
draft, and lack of proper draft is cause
of fuel waste because of improper COM
bustion.
All hampers must At true and tight.
If fire does not burn when check draft
is closed and draft damper in ash pit
door Is open, draft is deficient. CHM
nev should be examined for possible
defects, such as cracks or being clogged.
Forced firing results in waste of fuel.
Maintain sufficient supply of mois-
ture In indoor air. say relative hu-
nudity of 40 or As degrees. This as
sures complete physical comfort at
moderate temperatures of 10 or 70
degrees.
Keep CRATES in condition. Broken or
warped CRATES allow unburned coal to
drop into ash pit. Ash pit filled with
ashes also causes CRATES to be burned
out
Heating surfaces of plant should be
free from SCOT and ashes. These &C
cumulations act as inSulator. Like
wise chimney should be free from SCOT
accumulations, as these interfere with
draft.

Of many materials used today in con.
structional work
The action of intense heat on the
three naturally occurring building stones
granite, sandstone and limestone--is
found to follow certain definite laws,
and in considering these from the point
of view Of fire problems. one finds that
the subject is rendered more complex
by the very process of fire extinction.
Very few materials used in building are
capable of withstanding the application
of a strong jet of cold water after hav-
