Stoves are notoriously inefficient for heating purposes and with them, as with the open fire, much heat is lost up the chimneys. julation of check drafts will help to reduce such losses, + Where a single furnace or boiler is provided to heat the entire house, a number of points may be noted for increasing the duty of the fuel. For soft coals, choose a boiler of a rated capacity at least twice as | great as estimated need, Cover heater and pipes in base- ment to prevent tmndue radiation of heat. In case of hot air furnaces air. Maintain constant condition as far as possible. Use coal of uniform size and do not break in small pieces, Take care not to lose coal through | the grate. Force all cold air to enter the fire through the grate. : Keep a clear fire,’ not piled too high, and with no “dead spots.” Avoid too great an accumulation o: ashes on the grate. Clean the flues or heating surfaces frequently with a light wire brush. A slight accumulation of soot or scale will cut down the heat trans- mission from 20 to 60 per cent. s Hot air furnaces should have- the cold air inlet properly regulated dur- ing winter weather. Do-not allow obstruction of heat passages from furnace to. chimney. All types of furnaces should have the chimney draft contrclled to the point of perfect combustion of fuel. For hot water or steam heating, radiators should be placed under the windows. For hot air heating, registers are best located near interior walls, ARE YOUR BENS CN A EGG-MAKER| GOING UP! STRIKE?
