HOW TO AVOID HEAT LOSSES Storm windows and doors must fit snugly and be weatherstripped. Lack of storm windows can cause as much as 20% beat loss. Caulking should, be done around windows, doors and in cracks in brick work (some hardware stores have caulking guns for rent). Broken glass should be replaced, and loose panes puttied. Small expenditures on such work will save much fuel. Miss Edith McLennan is spending sometime with her sister, Mrs. Ned. Thompson, and other relatives in Tor- onto. Born in Listowel Hospital, on Aug. 22nd., to Mr. and Mrs. Morley Travis, a son. Congratulations.

Andrew and David Mc- Lennan- also Robert McLennan of Morris, spent Sunday with relatives at Hamilton, • HOW TO GET MORE HEAT Pipes and furnaces must be clean, and grates in good order. If one or two rooms are hard to heat,, you are wasting fuel. A minor adjustment cant probably remedy this. Have a competent mare check your heating system, and make necessary, repairs. Insulate your furnace and pipes wheni necessary. 1/0 'HOW TO SAVE STILL MORE You can save fuel and money by having your home properly insulated. It is a proven fact that in many homes lack of adequate insulation (in- eluding storm windows) results in unnecessary consumption of fuel—up to as much as 5070i, Watch for later instructions on how to fire your: furnace properly.
