Fuel conservation. Conversion of furnace to coal from oil. In face of the drastic fuel oil shortage in the East and rationing of the supplies which are available, homeowners are urged, where possible, to convert oil burning furnaces to coal. Third step is replacing the coal grates in the furnace. After inspection and checking, the furnace is then ready for use and the lucky homeowner's fuel oil problem has been removed

Fuel conservation. Home insulation conserves fuel. Every homeowner can get behind his government's efforts to conserve fuel whether he heats his home with oil or coal, and both are strategically important. Fuel savings can be effected by keeping temperatures at reasonable levels, closing off unused rooms, and insulating in various ways. Windows can be weather stripped. Conservation of fuel will help release railroad and other transportation facilities for the movement of fighting materials

Fuel oil conservation. Logs snapping in the fireplace mean fuel conservation as well as cozy evenings at home. On crisp days when an open fire can keep the house warm, turn off the heating system and burn wood. This is one of the best ways to conserve fuel

Fuel oil conservation. An experienced serviceman checks the efficiency of the family heating plant. This man measures the draft, the amount of heat lost through the chimney, and the carbon dioxide content of the flue gases. His work resulted in cutting down fuel consumption more than nineteen per cent. All heating contractors and many coal and fuel-oil dealers are prepared to give this valuable service

Studying why fruits taste that way. E.K. Nelson of the Department of Agriculture is shown making tests with an apparatus which the Department imported from Germany for the purpose of studying the essential oils or "flavor-giving" content of fruits and vegetables. At present chemists are acquainted with the essential oils of only a few fruits, such as some of the citrus group. The apparatus is a vacuum distill which permits the distillation of liquids at temperatures much lower than usual by reducing the pressure, 1/10/31
