Air irConditioning
Heating System Should
Be Checked for
Winter Use.
BY LAWRENCE TUCKER,

The operators of residential heating
and air-conditioning systems some
times make the mistake Of starting
their equipment in the Fall without
first having 1t checked over and put In
readiness for the Winter season.
The most important thing tnat must
be done is tine draining and flushing
of the entire heating plant. All water
should be drawn on, and clean water
forced through the boiler and return
lines In order to remove any dirt or
sediment which may have been de-
posted. When the system is clean it
should then be filled with fresh water
to the prescribed water line II 1t hap.
pens to be q steam or vapor plant.
In the case Of . gravity hot-water
system, the system should be filled
with water to about one-third Of the
gauge glass on the expansion tank.
The air vents on all radiators should
then be checked to see that they are
closed. Then partly open the valve
which supplies city water to the
boiler. After this Is done begin with
the ground-hoor radiators and open
each air vent until the radiator Is filled
with water. This Is done to all radi-
ators until they are properly vented
and filled.
After this Is completed continue to
fill the system until the gauge on the
expansion tank shows the proper level
II the boiler Is equipped with an alti-
tude gauge merely add water until the
gauge indicator reaches the proper
mark.
Due to the fact that water, unless II
has previously been boiled, always con-
tains o quantity Of air. 1t Is necessary
to repeat the process after few days
in order to insure an absolutely air.
free system.
After a period of idleness It Is q
good idea to check over all devices
connected with the control OF the
boiler and heating plant. All moving
parts should be cleaned and oiled SC
that they will not stick or operate
slowly due to corrosion or dust ac-
cumulation. II this Is not done 1t will
no doubt result In wasteful and TN
satisfactory operation.
II trouble has been experienced In

the past with the heating Of certain
radiators the piping should be looked
over by a competent heating contrac-
tor for any traps which may retard
circulation. The mains In the base
ment are apt TO sag and cause pockets
which viii prevent water or steam
from reaching its proper destination.
The installation Of small booster or
circulating pump on hot-water plant
will result In much quicker heating, as
the boiler water Is forced up to the
various radiators in q fraction Of the
time 1t would take for 1t to travel by
gravity circulation. Many owners
have also found that O. considerable
sewing in fuel has been effected due
to the elimtnation Of losses from slow
circulation.
In like manner the installation Of
o booster fan Of sufficient size and
capacity In hot-air heating plant will
improve circulation. It viii sometimes
enable rooms to be heated that have
practically been abandoned for the
better part Of the Winter season, and
viii also tend to lower fuel bills.

"A brief statistical look at the build

Importance is attached to the current

New House Helps Many.
when a new house goes up in a
town practically all the local stores
and shops are helped. That is why
current residential improvement means
SO much to the $4,000 hardware stores,
$500 paint and glass stores, 10000
plumbing and heating shops, 1890
furniture stores, 5000 household ap-
pliance stores.
1.-THE above figures relate to the
construction and retail sales divisions
Of the industry only. In addition,
there are the thousands Of wholesale
institutions and, back Of these, the
manufacturing industries that pro-
duce roofing, cement. lumber. plumb
ing and heating, metals, insulation
and the hundreds of other products
involved in the home.
Another indicator Of forward
movement In residential construction
is the advertising programs now being
planned for the Fail and for next
Spring. Appropriations are running
far ahead Of any recent year. A COM
pilation of the producers Of products
and equipment involved In home
building shows that there are over
5000 firms that are considered pros
poets for national advertising.
When q large per cent of these
firms resume their advertising, 1t Is
conceded, even greater stimulus will

FRESH COFFEE
IS SECRET Of
GOODNESS
BY SARAH BLACKWELL

With the coming of the first
brisk morning Of fall, that frag-
rant, steaming cup of breakfast
coffee seems to take on a new
Importance in our lives and when
at the same time an authority
in the coffee trade announces
that much of the coffee sold to
the homemaker is stale and
some of it not even usable, we
can be pretty indignant about
the situation and wonder just
what to do about it.
The Tea and Coffee Trade
Journal has recently published a
report of a packaged coffee in
vestigation which it conducted in
this country. Ninety-three brands
of coffee were collected from all
parts of the United States, from
every type of store, and tested
by a coffee taste expert for fresh
ness, value and stability.
Many Found Stale
The results showed that Sc
brands were judged to be stale
and 10, in the opinion of the
expert, not actually uSable. Even
some brands that have talked
about freshness were not up to
standard.
And it doesn't take an expert
to tell most of us who enjoy a
really good cup of coffee just
how disappointing poor coffee
can be. Quite surely we wish to
avoid all IS brands that will fail
to produce that Soul-satiSfying
beverage that can be made from
fresh coffee; that we have a
right to expect from the coffee
we buy. How can we be sure
were not buying a stale brand?
Experiments Cited
Experiments conducted at the
Massachusetts, Institute of Tech
nology over a period of three
years under the direction of Prof.
Samuel c. Prescott showed that
coffee in the bean retains It's
flavor longer than ground coffee.
These experiments showed that
as soon as the little brown coat
of the coffee bean is broken
much of the flavor and aroma of
the bean which give flavor to the
beverage have escaped. For this
reason Prof. Prescott concluded
that it is better to grind the coffee
beans just before making the bev-
erage so that natures seal on the
coffee bean is broken only when
we are ready to transfer the deli
cate flavor to the beverage.

If you are a father. =. or if
you have infant sisters and

need for us to dwell very long
on the value of Encore Olive
Oil as an accessory to baby's

You will know that very
young children receive their
olive oil rubs daily to keep little
Woolen "undies" and what not
from irritating tender skins.
The use of olive oil for this pur-
pose is almost always doctors

In selling Encore Olive Oil,
you may be sure that it is high
quality, Italian oil, secured by
pressing the juice from choice
olives. It is clean, absolutely
pure.

joy greater sales wherever a
store has it's share of new

KEEP EGGS COOL
IN HOT WEATHER

Washington poultrymen lose thou
sands of dollars annually by failing to
maintain the quality of eggs in hot
weather, according to w. D. Buchanan,
state college extension poultryman
Summer temperatures cause eggs to
deteriorate rapidly and enlargement of
the air cell through evaporation quick
ly forces the eggs into the lower priced
grades. Quality eggs not only bring the
producer more money than poor eggs
but encourage consumer demand.
Keeping eggs cool is the most i'm
portant consideration. in maintaining
egg quality during the summer. Eggs
should be gathered from three to five
times a day in wire baskets that allow
a free circulation of air, and placed in
a humid cellar egg room or cool place
where the temperature will be reduced
to between 40 and SIS degrees Fahren-
heit as quickly as possible. Eggs in
temperatures above go soon deteriorate
in quality
After the eggs have been cooled, they
should be marketed several times a
