This interesting, helpful new leaflet, HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT OF YOUR HOT WATER SERVICE. It tells you about baths to help you sleep—the kind of bath to take after exercise—baths for baby, and many other types. Other important information, too, such as laundering your clothes to make them last longer, and making your present gas water heater do a better job. See your merchant plumber or gas company. AND YOUR BEST WASH-DAY HELPER IS GAS Washing silks? Make thick suds with a small quantity of hot water and mild soap. Add cold water till tepid. Wash quickly—never soak silk garments. Rinse thoroughly twice, in tepid water. Squeeze out and roll garment in clean bath towel, then knead gently. Press while damp, with a warm (not hot) iron. And for woolens, use only tepid water with mild soap and wash for a short period. Rinse three times in clear tepid water and dry in shade. Remember—woolens are sensitive, and hot water, strong soaps, hot radiators or rough handling will cause them to shrink. Plenty of hot water makes white cotton come out white—without bleaching. Just fill the tub to the water line with very hot, sudsy water—and keep it hot as clothes are added. Wash for five to fifteen minutes. Rinse first with hot, then warm, finally with cool water. How to get the most out of your hot water service: 1. Consult your merchant plumber—he is an expert in helping you get the most out of your hot water equipment. 2. Have him set the thermostat on your gas water heater at 140°. 3. When cooler water is needed, temper from the "cold" faucet. 4. Hot water acts from 2 to 20 times faster than cold water—use plenty of it as a solvent for grease, grime, and dirt of all kinds. 5. Your water heater should be drained once or twice a month, in accordance with instructions usually attached to the heater. This helps to remove sediment that may have collected from the water supply. 6. In the interest of National Defense, your gas company recommends that you make your present water heater less as long as possible. Your plumber can help you. 7. If you do need now water heating equipment, remember, an automatic gas water heater costs less to buy, far less to operate. 8. Adequate size is important. A water heater that is large enough for your family's needs doesn't get overworked. It lasts longer than a heater that is too small. So when buying, ask your merchant plumber about proper capacity.
