Discovery Of a Plumber Who once
Lived in a Big Flat House
Proves Of Great Value.

"Yes, | know" said the plumb
er, that peppermint was once con
sidered a good, in fact a standard
pipe test for leaks of sewer gas
and for that matte iii a good test
today.
You may go up on the roof an,
pour a little peppermint down the
yentilating pipe attached to tLt
water supply system, and if you
can't smell any of the peppermint
in the house, why you can make
up your mind that your pipes are
all right and there's no sewer gas
escaping.
"Bnt, after all, the most com
plete and conclusive test is moi
the peppermint, but the cabbage
test, though this test, being more
elaborate, does cost a little more.
"For the cabbage test you have
a small, inclosed, specially de
signed furnace, in which you boil
a head of cabbage on the roof.
You set this furnace contiguous to.
the yentiIating pipe, under, in fact.
its covered over top piece. in the.
mouth of which you place atunnel
Of considerable flare. AS you boi
the cabbage all the fumes arr
caught by the hare-mouthed fun
mel piece and carried into it and
down the yentilating pipe.
"Now, it is a well-known fact
that the most permeating, perco
lating, iltrating and determined
of all scents is that of boiling cab
bage. 1t will get through places
where no other scent that know
of could get in at all, and if with
the cabbage test properly applied
you get no odOr in the house.
why, then you can go to bed at
nights FEELING narfnntl=sa
you get no odor in the house.
smothered by sewer gas in your
sleep.
"How did l come to make this
discovery? Why, l lived once in a
big fiat house where we occupied
rooms on the top floor in the ex
IRENE northwest corner. and there
was a family living on the ground
floor in the southwest corner that
occasionally had cabbage for din
rer.
Sand | noticed that whenever
they had cabbage for dinner we all
knew it. We way up there in the
northwest corner, could tell what
tiey were gong TO have for dinner
the minute they put the
cabbage on, and when it got boil,
ing good and hard, why the scent
OF it came through every crack and
peryaded the whole building.
"There is something about the
scent of boiling cabbage that en-.
ables it to get anywhere and that
nothing else will stand up against.
And al lOf a sudden it came to me
one day, why shouldn't l make use
of that fact in my business?
"And | invented and perfected
the cabbage test for pipes, as | am
using it to-day, and it is the real
The peppermint test is all
agood thing, and il does cost
less, but if you really want to
know, why, the cabbage test is

strain. Wherever one encounters
a Frenchman, an Austrian, or
even a Dane, one hears the same
