Now is the time cf the year to check over that
furnace is it heating every room of your home
properly?
Remember, the heater is only a part of the comfort sys
tem. Any pood healer, properly installed, will give you
nil the heat you want. Temperature, really, is not the ma
jor problem in seeking home comfort. It is a combination
of temperature, humidity and ventilation. Krom this point
of view, and in the light of the University of Illinois re
search, it is safe to say that the only reat comfort system
known today is the warm air system installed according
to the standard code.
Have us to check over your furnace, and if it docs not
come up to the standard code, we can make the necessary
changes at n small expense, so that it will give the amount
of comfort that you have right to expect.

DEFECTIVE FLUES

Statistics show that 19.9 per
cent of all firi'fl are caused by de
fective chimneys. Such being the
1 case, the home-owner should ex
1 amine hi chimney at regular in
: tervalu to see that the flue Is even
and ho I id.
j Many flues have not been ex-
amlned for years and the liomu
i owner may be running a conetant
! rlHk of fire. When modernizing
: one of the firm things to do it
, have the chimney examined by a
, competent man.
Many chimneys In old houses
! have no flre-linlng. Their walls
aire built of one thickness of brick
and the inside of the flue has been
plautered with mortar. Chimneys
of Hid type are tight for a few
(months, but the constant heat of
j l ho flue tendH to dry out the mnr
I tar and allow It to crack and fall
J out of place. A single brick joint
. between a hot fine and surround
! .ng woodwork is the cause of many
! fires.
I Chimney!! Fhould be lined wi'h
a fire clay lining to secure a tight
i flue. The smooth inner Hurfac
i prevents the lodging of mot in the
' flue and avoid the possibility of
j a chimney fire. If the lining 1

bricks around the chimney is ne
! ceHsary.
Chimneys may be made of brick,
; concrete blocks, hollow tile or

may be designed lu keeping with
j the typo of architecture of the

VAN WINKLE RULES
CARKIN INELIGIBLE
FOR THE TAX BODY
( Atiux iiiti il promt I.imI Win-)
SAI.KM, Ore., May 13. John II.
Carkin of Medford is not eligible
to serve an a member of the sLat
tax commission, says an opinion by
Attorney General Van Winkle. Tlie
opinion was in reply to an inquiry
by Governor Patterson.
The appointment or CarUln, the
opinion points out, would be in vio
lation of the constitutional inhibi
tion aKuitibt any person being up'
pointed to a lucrative oL't'f it he is
it iiiemui-i ui uie it'niHim hi e iiiul
increased the salary of that office.
This provision also provides
against the appoint merit of any per
son to a lucrative oilier that may
have been created by the legisla
ture of which he was a member,
but the opinion holds the newly
constituted state tax commission is
not a new commission. Instead, ac
cording to Die opinion, two ap
pointive and salaried members are
merely substituted for the gover
nor, the secretary of state and the
state treasurer who heretofore
have served as exofftclo members
of the commission.
Carkin has bien mentioned as a
possible appointee on Hip commis
sion because of his study of the
tav question while serving as chair
man of the special committee on
taxation that served 19:17 and 102.
and prepared most of the tax meas
ures passed by the iy2'J session.

the shingles are applied according
to the best practices.
The first rule for a good shingle
roof Is to see that the stock is all
100 per cent vertical grain, en
tirely free from sap, and perfectly
clear. Vertical grain shingles lake
evenly, lie flat on the roof and
never curl.
The rule second In Importance is
to see that shingles are fastened to
tlie roof with copper-steel nails, or
galvanized hot dipped nails. The
common ungalvanlzed nail rusts
out In a few years and loosens the
shingles long betoro it is other
wise at footed by the elements.
Under the" American lumber
standards there are three recogniz
ed sizes of perfect shingles. They
are ail grade A or vertical grain.
The V. a. government grading and
packing ruies describe the varie
ties as follows: 24" 4 2; 18" 5-2-i;
10" 6-2. The IJ grade shingles
described in these rules are clear
shiugies but are not all vertical
grain and should never be used, ex
cept on side walls.
Sixteen inch shingles should be
laid five Inches to the weather,
eighteen inch shingles five inches
and twenty-four inch seven inches.
Wood shingles should not be
laid with tight joints, for under
rules of manufacture a little varia
tion in width is allowable between
tip and butt. -Moreover, the swel
ling resulting from moisture may
cause the shingles to slip.
If laid tightly together, one of
the beauties of a sningled wall s
lost, viz: the shadow lines which
come from 18 to i spacing of the
shingles.
Roof snrfaces to be covered with
shingles should have a slope not
less, than 1 to 4, or, in other
words, a rise of one foot for every
two feet of horizontal span of the
roof. Chimneys, plumbing, vein
pipes, dormers and other projec
tions should be thoroughly flashed
where they pass through the roof
with non-corrodable metal, prefer
ably sheet zinc or copper. Galvan
ized Iron will seldom, or ever, last
j as long as the roofing material it

AMOUNT OF GREEN FEED
AFFECTS EGG YOLK COLOR
Variations in the color of e;
yolks is caused by the varying
amounts of green feed given to th
hens, according to experiments
now being conuueted by the puai
try department of Oregon Slate Ag
ricultural college. The eggs of
several hundred birds are being
used In the experiment.
The normal amount of kale daily
for 100 birds Is from five to six
pounds. This produces the me
dium pale yellpw color of the yolk,
which Is the color most preferred'
for market purposes. The normal
amount of dry alfalfa daily for thn
same number of birds Is & per cem
leaves and blossoms in the mash.
Two per cent alfalfa makes the
yolk too light, thus lowering its
value for market.
Other elements affecting the
color of the yolk are certain weeds,
like shepherd's purse and penny
cress, which give a dark color but
have no effect on the taste. Cot
tonseed meal in excess gives
brownish spots to the yolk and
flavors It. Cod liver oil, used for
fattening, flavors the flesh,
To dfc'.ermine the difference of
yolk colors, two methods of checM
(ng may be used. Holding the
egg to the light of a candle casts
a shadow that may determine the
deepness or lightness of the yoik.
This method iu not as accurate as
that of bredkiug the egg, however.
Most of the eggs tested have
been preserved in keiserling solu
tion. They lose a little color in
preservation, but the difference
between the deep yellow, the me
dium yellow, and the pale yellow
may be recognized easily.
Eggs brought in from outlying
communities are for the most part
too dark and consequently grad
ed lower. A better grade could
be obtained if more attention were
given to the green feed.
