AUTOMATIC FUEL
 FEEDERS HOME AID

With the advent of the automatic fuel-feeding devices and modern in- silIation, home owners are finding new uses for what was once merely waste space. The automatic fuel feeding devices eliminate dirt and dust, thereby making cellars more habitable. By installing insulation the attic can be made adaptable for bedrooms, playrooms, or studies. Builders report that often more than 20 per cent of the pace in every home goes to waste.
 Building-material manufacturers offer many products that make the conversion of this space 8 relatively simple matter. A flexible or hard board material can be used to make the cellar or attic into an attractive room with many uses. The board material can be decorated by hand or decorative holdings may be used. It is not difficult to do this work, without the aid of a carpenter # one is handy with the hammer.
 For the floor there are various compositions which make excellent surfaces on concrete. They offer tough, hard-wearing surfaces that are equally good for playroons or dancing floors. Color may be added to the room by the choice of one of the many bright patterns offered.
 Through any authorized private financial institution home owners may borrow up to $2,000 for such Improvement and modernization work. These loans are insured un- der the Federal Housing Adminis- tration's Modernization Credit plan.

TOT up to our own EkzEls.z1 habits of cleanli-
 ness and sanitation in the home. HOW sanitary is your kitchenP How careful are you in the handling of the family's food?
 On the whole. the various gov- ernmental divisions protect food up to the moment it is delivered in the home. Production of milk is carefully supervised and constant inspection maintains its cleanliness and purity. As final safeguard 1t IS paSteurized.
 But what happens to this most important food after it is put in your care? No matter how cear1 and pure 1t is, no matter how re- gently it was pasteurized if you are careless in handling it, milk can become dangerous. Common mistakes are to let 1t stand in un- covered containers, or in open bot tie, outside the refrigerator. Dust, flies, insects and ordinary room temperatures can soon make 1t dangerous as a food.
 Then, too, of what good is it to buy bread that is baked under the most sanitary conditions possible, and carefully wrapped in waxed paper at the factory if you handle 1t with hands that have just petted the family cat? Or perhaps you come right from the dumb waiter A. AY.o fyikot,a %n voc,,y11n xyoi,f xryorlr without washing your hands.
 And don't be offended by the next three questions Are you sure that your dishes are perfect ly clean? Do you wash them with plenty of soap and warm water, then scald them? Then do you dry them with immediately clean and white dish towels? Do you wash these towels as a finale, after each dishwashing? If you do not, it is better to let the dishes dry them selves after being scalded than to contaminate them with dish tow el that is not absolutely clean. Many a homemaker who is other wise immaculate in her housekeep- inR seems absolutely blind to gray, dif1gy tea towles and dish towels.
 Sometimes ago the Health Com missioner of New York City issued set of fourteen suggestions, among them seven relating to food which I think will be worthwhile for all mothers to review occasion ally and to practice all the time. They are in substance:
 Give the children plain, whole some foods, including plenty of milk and vegetables.
 Keep milk clean, covered, and cold.
 Do not allow milk or any other food to be exposed where flies may light on it.
 wash well all food that is to be eaten raw.
 Never allow refuse to accumu- late; always keep the scrap pail closely covered.
 Keep the house free of flies and all forms of pests. Keep windows screened until the last of the fly family departs.
