DOMINION FUEL BOARD BULLE-
TIN STRESSES ADVANTAGES
OF HOUSE INSULATION
Once Canadian householders bee
come thoroughly convinced that house
insulation has passed the novelty
stage and is a necessity in the inter-
est of economy for the man of mod-
erate means, we may expect sub,
stantial savings in fuel ocsts, states
a bulletin on "The Insulation of New
and Old Houses," isued by the Dom-
inion Fuel Board, Ottawa.
In suggesting the serious attention
of home owners and house builders
to the value of insulation in dwelI-
ings, Fuel Board does so with a know-
ledge gained from exhaustive inves-
tigations, that an average annual
saving, amounting to the price of
from one-half ton to three tons of
coal, may be effected by proper in-
sulation, the bulletin states.
A rapid change in the status of
heat insulation is being witnessed, it
continues. Regarded a few Years
ago as a fad that only the wealthy
could afford, insulation is now known
as an efficient, cheap, and sure
means of preventing heat leakages;
as something only the wealthy can
afford to do without, and will even-
tually be just as much a part of the
modern house as the heating plant!,
llouseholders are learning that heat
insulaoion provides maximum conn-
fort the year round—warm, even''I
temperatures in the winter, a cool
house interior in the summer, with
a minimum of effort during the dif
ficult periods in the spring and fall.
The bulletin is descriptive of the
usual methods of heat insulating
new and old houses, the principal
types of materials used, and other
relevant details. Methods specified
therein are readily understandable

When funds aro low and debts are

And you want to senile but you have

When he night have won had he
