It is su- perbIy located, near the foothills, where the air is pure and where the water is perfect. Bearing orange groves, and groves of other citrus and of deciduous fruits as well as the thousands of acres of green al falfa fields of this district have also attracted the Writers club. composed of well known men of letters and af- fairs, to locate winter club houses and homes here.

 The principle of the new system,

Thus at the "" in ordinary clear weather the water from the days heat will be used in the late afternoon and even ing and q new supply will come next Gay, or if tho storage capacity is , sufficient it may be used during two oi three cloudy days following days q sunshine.

How to Rsfinish Old Surfaces.

The first thing to do in re6nlshing
old wood surfaces is 10 remove all war;
nish and paint. This may be done
easily by the use OF good varnish re-
mover. The varnlsh remover may be
bought at any paint store, says the
Woman's World. 1t is applied with a
brush and allowed to stand for a few
minutes: then varnish and paint are
easily removed. If there are any burnt
or stained places 1t may be necessary
10 scrape the surface with piece OF
glass. Then the surface is thoroughly
smoothed with sandpaper and is ready
for a new paint or varnish. II 1t is de-
sirable to keep the color and grain OF
the wood as they are II clear varnish
may be used which contains the desir-
ed color.
