In a cool summer such as we are ex-
periencing this year, more home cook-
ing and baking is being done in the
average housold than is ordinarily
done during the hot weather months.
This summer even gas grates have been
used, and much gas has been used for
heating kitchens.
Weather reports show this to be the
coolest summer we have had in years.
This means that the water you use for
cooking, washing and bathing is ap-
proximately 10 degrees colder. More
gas is required to heat it.
These facts are reflected in many a De-
troit home by gas bills that are some-
what higher than usual.
Dirty Burners Use
More Gas---
It takes longer to get the same results
with dirty clogged up burners than it
does where burners are kept clean in-
side and out. Gas range burners
should be boiled at least once a month
in water containing soda or washing
powder. Water-heater and laundry
hot-plate burners should be cleaned
every few months to insure best results.
Water heaters with clogged up burners
and sooty coils are responsible for
many high gas bills.
