EVEN THE CEST HOUSE LEAKS HEAT UXE A WORN-OUT HOSE j Heat escapes through glass, cracks,' walls; and roof. Insulation, weather stripping, stem windows and the seal Ing of cracks do much to cut down this heat loss. If you have them ...fn! Yoa may h lucky enough to have them in stalled now. But whether yoa have them 'or not, you should conserve heat in the foCowing warst i mm ?4 i. CLOSE OUTSIDE ; DOORS PROMPTLY; When a door to the outside is opened, a great deal of heat escapes from the house. This winter, make it a point particularly with children to open and close outside doors ouiddy. Don't stand and talk in an open door. Resnemher also , to dose basement windows and the vent openings not necessary to the operation of your furnace during extreme cold weather. - v ;J-:li .- "i li; t.tAi:nrAi:i correct " HUMIDITY AT ALL TIMES A lower moist temperature Is as comfort. able as a higher dry temperature, for dry air evaporates the moisture from your body rapidly, making yoa feci dully, steep the hnrnidiSer ia your amaca properiy hUed at all times. 1 neu, tf tme doesn't supply adequate humidity, keep pas of water ia heated room. - r PC1TE.AME).
