TO install water system with pres
sure tank, plumbing, bathroom and hot
and cold running water in as many
places in the house as you want it,
Such conveniences cost no more in the
country than they do in the city. They
must be paid for wherever they are
enjoyed. We don't get things for moth
ing. Houses in the city rent for
enough to pay the interest on the cost,
to pay the salaries and stealings of
public officials and the necessary funds
for a great deal of unnecessary work.
Water for a city house costs from SIS
to 500 a year, according to the rates
prevailing, the size of the house and
the quantity of water used.
A windmill with the necessary
pumps and pressure tank to supply
house the size of this one would not
necessarily cost more than 5000 or

A cottage with three bedrooms up
stairs is given in this plan. There is
more coy comfort tucked away under
this roof and within these four walls
than is ordinarily found in two houses.
A study of this little plan will easily
convince a person that it is not neces-
sary to build a great big house in or
der to accommodate a good sized fam
lily. Five bedrooms is unusual even in
a regular two-story house, but we
have them here in a cottage design,
80 feet wide by As feet long, costing
from $1,000 to $4,000, according to the
prices of labor and material in the
place where it is built.
This little cottage is not only coy,
neat and comfortable, but it Is sup
piled with modern conveniences and 1t
looks well. There is great deal In
looks. If the house is a good locker
the owner can put up with some in
conveniences in regard to size or ar
rangement, but this house is also well
planned for comfort.
In this arrangement the dining-room
Is the room of the house. 1t is living
room, hall, reception room and room
of general utility. There is no objec-
ton to making such a dining-room an
swer SO many useful purposes pro-
vided the room Is well kept. A lot of
house cleaning Is needed where there
is so much business in one room, but
1t saves the rest of the house. 1t prob
ably costs no more labor to keep this
one main room In order than to dis
tribute the work over several others.
The advantages in house like this

is the saving in expense in first cost
and saving in heating every winter
so long as you live in 1t. 1t is an ad-
vantage to have the kitchen shut away
from the main part of the house where
1t Is cool in summer. When the porch
is used as a sort Of kitchen annex, as
1t probably would be by most house
keepers, the arrangement is especially
attractive.
The water supply in all houses that
are built in villages and country places
Is question of serious Importance.
One reason why life in small places
10 not more attractive is the lack of
modern conveniences in the houses.

the house may be used to pump water
for other purposes, if on farm, to wa

may be supplied for street sprinkling

interest on the cost of the plant would
be from $40 to $50 year, the repairs
