REMEMBER MATURSL GAS 13 A WAR MATERIAL + USE IT WISELY Sou £0 Save Riore Save Hea? Save Fuel The saving of Natural Gas fuel is very important today. War industries going full blast are using an increasing amount of this fuel. It takes a huge amount of Natural Gas to heat homes, to cook and to heat water. There will be enough if each user will save fuel by eliminating waste heat. Check Heat Leaks at Windows. If there is a stream of cold air leaking through or around a window, plug that leak. As temporary weather stripping insert folded wrapping paper or newspaper between the window sash and window frame. ~ Close Bedroom Door at Night. If you open bedroom windows at night keep the bedroom door closed. Place a rug against the bottom of the door. There is no need to chill the rest of the house during sleeping hours. w Close Fireplace Damper. If you have a furnace and fireplace, close the damper when the fireplace is not in use. More furnace heat is sucked up a chimney than is produced by a grate fire. > Close Garage Doors Under House. If your garage is under the house keep garage doors closed. Open garages scoop in cold air and chill floors unnecessarily. vr Overheating your House is NOT Healthful. Every degree of heat in your house over 65 degrees uses up from to 6% more fuel. Keep comfortable, but do not overheat your rooms. Ss oe t Do Not Use your Range as a Heater. Using a range oven as a heater is inefficient and shortens the range’s life. Use your range for its one important job—¢ooking. Remember that these days a range may be hard to replace. ™N When the Sun Comes Out —Turn out your Heater. It is a good rule to keep lower heating temperature during the day when you are active about the house. Use no heat when the sun shines and outside temperature is 65 degrees. So and close the doors and i other rooms. Mg Shut Off Unused Rooms. Turn off the heat in unused rooms you will have more heat for the Open and Close Outside Doors Promptly. A lot of cold air rushes in when outside doors are opened . Warn the children particularly about this. Do not stand and talk in an open door. cially on French down hard.
