A tank holding six or eight barrels
would probably hold water enough TO
last week and by carefully filtering
the water the tank win not need
cleaning out more than once year.
Place the top OF the tank as low as
the bottom Of the cistern. so 1t may
be filled by gravity. Put the air
pump in the kitchen SO the pressure
may be increased easily without rum
ming down cellar TO do it, and have
all the connections air tight. OF
course any boiler shell that is steam
tight is also water tight and air tight.
You need a little fan to carry the
waste water away to the cesspool but
Of course all houses are built on

vide drainage. An arrangement Of
this kind when properly put in Is just
as serviceable as water supply and
sewer drainage in cities. Such con
yeniences cost no more in the first
place than city water and sewer con
nections, and the home outfit is
cheaper to run afterwards City water
costs an average householder from
eight to ten dollars per year. and the
city man is just as liable for repairs
as the man who has his own water
and sewer system, and city plumbers
charges are enough to scare a person

rather build a cottage like this for
$1,000 and have bedroom each for
the boys and girls than to put up an
elaborate house costing twice the
money with the expectation Of making
a good deal more show.
like this cottage houee for this
reason; 1t gives a grand opportunity
to establish home for the family that
will foster contentment and happi
ness. 1t costs more theoretically TO
heat a cottage house than regular
two-story structure. but practically
you get more comfort for the same
amount Of coal In . well built cottage
house than you do In anything else.
OF course cottage houses are always
built in small towns or in rural com
munities where coal Is cheaper, be-
cause storage is not so much of an OBJ

Mr. William A. Radfnrd win answer
questions and give advice AIsaN gf
COST on all subjects pertaining e tire
subject of building for the readers 8f this
Renee as Editor. Author and Manutac-
turer he is without doubt, the highest
authority on all these subjects. Address
all inquiries to William a. hadtord, -,

A very roomy cottage and one well
adapted to a growing family is given
In this plan. There are six rooms
and bathroom on the ground floor
and a chance 10 make two splendid
bedrooms in the two principal
gabltS. 1t is not very expensive
house to build, although it Is 81 feet
wide and so feet long. Under favor
able circumstances it should be built
complete for about 81 800, and It con
tains as much room as an ordinary
eight room two-story house with
greater opportunity for closets and
storage room.
One fault with modern houses is
the lack OF storage. IL IS q great con-
venience to have plenty Of room and
to have places to put things so you
can find them without digging them
out from under a whole lot Of other
things. People who live in cities ex-
pect to be crowded, because there Is
not room enough to 60 around, but
in the smaller places every one should
be accommodated with all the room
they need and a little to spare

to supply a separate bedroom for each

deal more healthful and a good deal
more satisfactory Every person il

Just build a cistern at the back Of the
house and put an old boiler shell In

with the bottom Of the cistern Then
all you need is pipes TO carry the va
ter and an air pump to force air into

into the bathroom and up to the
kitchen sink. In rural communities
old boiler shells may be bought for
very little money Shells that are
no longer safe for steam pressure may
be used for water tanks with great
satisfaction.
The waste water from the bathroom
and from the kitchen is easily taken
care Of by a cesspool which need not

ment does away with carrying water
either in or out, saving in labor
which is sufficient to pay the entire
cost in one year, and the machinery

Dr. pocb the Austrian anthropoi
logist who has spent q long time in
New Guinea studying it's natives and
its geograph tells OF a remarkable
variety Of grass that makes fierce
warfare upon other kinds Of vegeta-
ton SO that practically nothing else
grows where It gets a foothold.
The natives call it alang It has
tali thick and tough stalk. but its
greatest popularity lis its roots, which
spread out through every particle Of
earth they reach and give It matted
texture something like felt, There IS
really no room left for the the roots
Of any other kind Of vegetation.
Fields Of alang cannot exist In Tor

in the shade. Neither can any kind
Of tree make headway in patch Of

the other exists. Large patches Of
alang are found surrounded by tim
ber and remain there like islands, for
no trees win grow in them. Between
the alang and the forest Is a sort Of
aeutral zone, for the shade Of the high
trees prevents the development Of the
grass
