Draft Control Saves Heat.
If you are unable to convert your
oil-burning equipment to coal have
you equipped it with the proper
controls to make it operate without
loss Of an ounce of precious fuel?
Poor combustion is responsible for
great losses Of fuel. Combustion can
be improved easily by installation of
one Of the new draft controls which
may enable you to heat your home
satisfactorily with IS to 80 per cent
less fuel, according to the manu-
facturer.
The draft control is a metal air
valve. usually mounted on the flue
pipe. It's function is to equalize the
constant fluctuations Of draft. or
vacuum, which a chimney furnishes.
It insures steady, unchanging rate
Of draft through the furnace or
boiler OF the heated gases Of COM
bustion at a minimum rate of travel.
When the flow Of heat is so regu-
lated, maximum utilization OF fuel
is assured.
This draft control can be used
with either hand fired or an auto
matte heating system and can be
installed easily in the flue pipe of
any coal, oil or gas boiler or furnace.
It comes in two sizes, one for 6

To freshen painted walls and
woodwork without the expense of
repainting them give them a good
facial. There is paint cleaner
on the market which looks much
like the face cream most women
use for removing makeup. 1t does
much the same kind Of job for walls
that face cream does for the COM
plexion. It lifts the dirt OF with
out injury to the surface. It is
light green and about the con-
sistency of cold cream.
Apply q small amount to q
moistened cloth or sponge, then
rub the surface lightly with a cir
cular motion. Wipe of at once with
another dampened cloth or sponge.
It works wonders in removing dirt
from any painted surface, without
damaging the paint. In going over
a large surface overlap each section
to be cleaned on the previously
cleaned surface. This will eliminate
streaking and insure an evenly clean
surface.
The cleaner can be used on any
painted surface-walls, woodwork,

Heat Conservation

Now that conservation OF heat In
homes, offlces and other structures
looms as a wartime necessity for the
coming winter. an example Of the
effect of different colors upon the
sensibility Of human beings to cold,
cited by George D. Cav in Amer
lean Business, may have some
practical interest.
He states that in a factory near
New York City the color Of the main
office was changed from a cheerful
yellow to a light blue. When the
colder season arrived the employees
complained Of cold, although the
temperature was maintained at 70
degrees. the same as before the
painting, but even when 1t was in
creased to rs the stenographers and
clerks continued to complain and
wore sweaters while they worked.
The yellow paint was then restored
as an experiment and then IS was
found to be uncomfortably warm,
with the result that the heat was
reduced to the customary 70 and
every one felt comfortable.

An enchanting dressing table is
the easiest thing In the world to
make yourself. Your needle and
thimble and an extra pair of window
draperies is about all it takes.
In any of the larger stores you
may purchase an unpainted dress
ing table for 1895 or thereabouts.
What girl would go unglamorous for
this amount? If you give it a coat
of paint. it will look better, but If
a paint brush and needle overtax
your ingenuity, you can skip the
paint.
If you can purchase an extra pair
Of curtains to match the ones at
your window. all will be we'll. If
not, you may be able to get similar

New Dehydrated Paint.
A new dehydrated paint, just an
nounced by the manufacturer, has
both patriotic and an economic
appeal. It is patriotic because 1t is
powdered and can be packed In
cardboard containers instead of
cans and weighs about half as much
as liquid paint and bulks consid-
erably less, thereby easing the trans
portation problem. It is economical
because the only thinner need is
water.
Five pounds of the powdered
paint, plus lve pints Of water, make
one gallon of good-quality paint
with flne hiding qualities.
The paint, which is designed for
interior use, will cover most wall
surfaces, including wall paper, ce-
ment, wallboard, paint. brick and
plaster in one coat. It provides a
fiat finish which Is washable and
therefore easy and inexpensive to
maintain.
The paint comes in II colors de-
veloped to harmonic with new
fabrics and accessories. They in
clude such pastels as ivory, pale
yellow, cream, mission white, light
gray, peach, turquoise and medium
blue. In addition to these q special
