For Better Homemaking

Heating Economy !. AS a gen

will be had by turning the thermo-
stat down five degrees at night. If
turned lower than this, an excess of
fuel will be burned in the morning in
bringing the house up to 70 degrees.
If fern is dying, pour tablespoon
of castor oil around the roots. The

are assured of getting maximum
