Show n n n A TIIEUMOMETER AS UMPIRE A thermometer, or several thermometers in order or-der that temperature records may bo kept in various parts of the house, would save fuel by reminding you when tho temperature Is higher than anyone argues In tho abstract that It should be. Thermometers save also the wear and tear of discussion as to how warm a house is at a given time. When ono person who has been out of doors exorcising nnd another who has been sitting about in the house fall to discussing tho tompcraturo In tho house, as to Its suitability, tho thermometer serves ns an umpire. It shows the person just from tho out of doors that he is wrong when he declares the house suffocating, or shows the person who has been indoors that it is seventy degrees de-grees when ho wonders if the man who attends to tho furnace has not forgotten tho evening stoking.
