A Bath Tub.

We have one IN our house, and we have
a bath room, too. How many farmers can
say the same. Not one in a thousand,
perhaps. / don't know Of another farm
house in all this country that has BATH
tub. Every man and woman knows that
frequent bathing is necessary to good
health Our family bathe three TO four
times week In warm weather, and once a
week In cold weather. My neighbors wife
told us, that not one of her family had
washed "all over" for month. They had
no bath tub, and had TO use wash tub or
simply take towel or sponge bath. A
sponge bath is better than none, but can
not halfway come up to good splash in a
genuine bath tub. We cot our bath tub
the zinc part-ln town, and had carpen-
ter put it into small bed room which we
henceforth dubbed "the bath room" and
used it for this purpose only, except to
hang clothes in. 1t has a pipe leading out-
side into a large hole or cesspool. OF
course we have TO carry water TO I'll the
tub, as we have no pipes to carry water
through the house as In the city. But our
stove has large heating reservoir, which
holds enough warm water TO baLhe the
whole family. We intend to run pipe
from the cistern into the bath room, and
have q pump that will pump water di-
rectly into the tub. Our bath room as
arranged only cost us 80 and it is worth
800 year, in health and comfort.
