When one task is finished, jump into another. Don't hesitate. Don't falter. Don't waver. Don't wait. Keep going. Keep going. Doing something is always better than doing nothing. For activity breeds ambition, energy, progress, power. And inactivity breeds idleness, laziness, shiftlessness, sloth. Don't dawdle m the hope that inspiration will strike you Inspiration is more hkely to strike a busy man than an idle one. Save the half hours ihat are wasted m waiting. That is the secret of system Keep going.

The best gas hre is obtained by a large number of small jets so arranged that each jet will be fed with pure air and that the burned gas from one jet cannot become mixed with the fresh gas issuing from another. A gas lire should have a supply of air m addition to that which is supplied through the mixer It is impossible to supply enough air through the mixer to secure complete combustion, and one of the most common errors m setting gasburners is the attempt to exclude all other air. On the other hand, if an excess of air is supplied it will unduly reduce the temperature of the products of combustion. It is a mistake to attempt to " hold the heat back," by tightly closing the damper in the smoke pipe. When this is too tightly closed, the poisonous products of combustion are retained too long m the furnace, and poison the fresh gas issuing from the burner.
