tank, as shown, having a capacity OF
about 20 gallons. The necessary

TO include threaded ends Of pipe
threaded elbows, and cocks, all ready
TO screw together. The tanks for water
should be for the larger l4x16x3l

Tie tub shown is 8 feet long, Of the
usual standard make. Have a piece
Of lead pipe (E) 3 feet long, soldered
to the bent outlet Of the tub, to run
the waste water out Of doors: suspend
the tanks as shown, with their tops
on the same level, so that both tanks
may fll at the same time; then close
the cock in the pipe to the smaller
tank, keeping the cold water In II to
temper the hot water when II is run
into the tub.
The connection Of the iron water
pipe with the pump is accomplished
by the use Of a piece Of rubber hose
to one end OF which the usual force
and lift pump" coupling is attached
the other end being wired on to the
iron water pipe terminal The hose
may be loosened from the pump and
held aside on hook, to permit the
uS0e. uses Of the pump.

a small stove in the room, used or
dlnarily for keeping the chill out Of
the room in the winter time, a portion
Of the heat of he fire may be utilized
10 heat the water, without using the
kerosene heater. This is done by
having a piece OF h-Inch iron water
pipe Cd, 40 inches long. bent over
like hairpin, and having two rubber.
hose connections with tank, by means
OF two unions, located, one near the
bottom and the second a few inches
above II. This insures circulation, and
very hot water In the winter, when
the bent pipe has been lowered into
the FIRE, through hole or holes in the
stove cover. as shown. The bent pipe
may be suspended from a chain and
weight as shown In the illustration.
With either Of these two arrangements
Of water heating, both simple, and Of
little expense, any temperature OF
water desirable for bathing purposes
may be had.
