CHEAP HEAT
A fireplace is a cheery
thing on a cold winter’s
evening, but the sad truth
is that it’s inefficient —
about 90 percent of the
heat is lost up the
ehinme^i taking with it
warm air from the room. A
fireplace can actually in-
crease your overall heat-
dMingcosts.
Today a good many peo
ple are using an alterna
tive — the old-fashioned
wood-burning stove. Un
like a fireplace, a stove is
50 percent efficient, and
with wise use will permit
you to turn off the fomace
for long periods.
What you have to deter
mine is, will the cost of the
stove and its installation,
plus the cost of the wood
you bum, add up to less
than the cost of running
your furnace? You can
buy a stove for as little as
9100, but it may not be
of solid, airtight constrac-
• |k>n. The stove and con-
iecting pipes get very hot
and the fire hazard is
always there; you’ll be
wise to invest around $300
for a well-made stove,
have it installed by an ex
pert and inspect^ by a
local fire official.- And-
follow the manufacturer’s
recommendations for use
and maintenance.
In some areas — partic
ularly cities — seasoned
hardwood (which is the
best kind to bum) is so
outrageously expensive
that you save nothing.
But there are ways to beat
this problem. You can get
wood for free. Get permis
sion to collect dead trees
and fell live ones in the na
tional forests, and in many
state and city parks (but
not in state forests).
Sometimes you can take
away the trees cut down
by park and highway de
partments and by power
companies. .Pick up scrap
lumber at building and
demolition sites and at
lumber yards.
Easy To Tell
It’s easy to pick out the
persons who haven’t had
much experience with civic
committee work. They’re
the ones who always get to
the meetings on time.

. Should pregnant women drink coffee? — T.M.
A recently published study from the National Coffee
Association shows that the equivalent of four cups of
coffee daily can cause birth defects in rats. Simibir
studies detected other reiwoductive problems in mic*
and rabbits. According to Michael Jacobson, director
of the Center Fm: Science In The ^blic Interest:
"There is ample evidence that caffeine interferes with
mammalian reproduction and may cause birth defects.
miscarriages and infertility in humans.
I've heard that part of the treatment for paoriaais
sufferers is to go into a special closet. Can you tell me
mme about this? — B.H.
The closet is lined with ultraviolet lights and is called
Houva-Lite. Studies indicate that this closet, when
combined with a drug called 8 methoxypsoralen taken
2 to 3 hours prior to closet entry, clears up psoriaris in
86 percent of the cases.
Is skim .milk a good substitute for human milk (or
cow’s milk) for infants? — C.M.
Because of its low cost, skim milk is attractive for
s^tching the food budget. Even when fortified with
vitamins A and D, it does not meet current recommen
dations because of inadequate calories from fat, absent
essential fatty acids, absent vitamin C, excessive pro
tein, excessive electrolytes and absent vitamin E.
When it comes to infant feeding, do not rhango
anything without consulting with your physician.
