Furnace Value is Determined by
What Comes Out of the Registers
Out of the registers mind you; not out of the
chimney 1
Just because you see the heap of ashes, doesn't
prove that you got the good out of the fuel.
Combustion is more than building a fire. Small
carbon particles and gases have a way of rushing, from
the fire, if they find an outlet before yielding up their
loads of heat; heat you pay for, whether you get it or
not!
But you get this heat and the comfort and con
venience and economy at the same time when you

Green's Dome Heat Intcnstfier is a wonderful thing. No joints no gas-leaks.

You really wouldn't know the old home or the new one, either! with the

Every day the coldest, dampest, windiest days would find the rooms as
warm and cheery as a sunny afternoon in June!
And if your home isn't comfortable, what do you get out of life? All your)

A Sermon On Lumber
In conclusion my friends, we can't get away from
this lumber question. Why, every one of us
spent our first days in a cradle made of lumber.
Our lives have been lived between walls of two
by fours and , lath, with rafters over our heads,
and matched flodring beneath our feet. We have
been sitting'in wooden chairs, eating from wooden
tables, riding in wooden wagons, and in the course
of time will be laid to rest in wooden caskets.

Tho Reason
for Toll Charges
Less than one-fourth of our
subscribers make three
fourths of nil tho long dli- V
tuuco telephone calls.
Tho long dlstunco lines
nro used only occasionally by
tho largo mnjorlty o tele
phone subscribers. v
For this reason a chnvgo Is
mado for each long distance ,
call rather than cover tho tlx
penso of providing this nerv
lco by increasing tho local
telephone rates. ,1
It would be very conven
ient not to have to pay extra
to talk to neighboring towns.
If wo gave frco long dls
tanco service, howpver, .It
would mean that nil tele
phone subscribers would pay
tho cost of maintaining the
long distance lines which are
used generally by only u fow.
