The problem of heating water for

serious. What is called a "wntcr

through the back Of the stove itself,

tank holding some thirty gallons is
fixed to the wall above and behind the
stove, so that the hot water can flow
from it to the bathroom.
Another arrangement, which in Eng
land is called a geyser there pronount-
ed "geeser'D, will heat water for the
bath in a few minutes by being placed
under the conducting pipes. A similar
device Is on the market in this coun-
try. Gas, oil or gasoline can be used
as fuel.
The bathroom, of course, will at all
times be warmed by hot air pipes from
the furnace under the house. The com
fort and cleanliness, the saving of la,
Dor and fuel, that come from one big
fire supplying a whole house cannot
be Overestimated.
