adds greatly to comfort and con-
vsnience In every direction.
The way to secure this is to install
q water supply system, with pres
sure tank in the basement. This pres
sure tank is SO arranged that by
pumping 1t full under strong air pres
sure the water is forced all over the
house, and Is available for the bath
room, toilet room and the garden or
fire hose. The water is distributed
about the house exactly as it is in
city homes, by means of galvanized
iron pipes. Where a small building
is to be supplied and the amount of
water to be used is not large, the sys-
tenn can be installed for $50. For the
average house 500 is a better figure.
Where the house is large, and where
considerable amounts of water are
needed for the lawn and garden, and
possibly also for washing carriages
automobiles and horses, a larger sys-
tenn should be installed, costing up to
$3.50. The cost of the system, there
fore, depends upon the wishes of the
owner and the demands that will be
made upon it.
Its installation is easy, and its OPP
Grafton is exceedingly simple. Any
pipe filter or plumber can put in the
