Sewerages in the Country.

One great problem peculiar to the
rural districts is that of the proper
disposal Of poisonous organic refuse
and similar waste matter. In the
cities. such matter is completely and
satisfactorily taken care Of in the
modern swereage systems, and thus
the city is enabled to preserve a clean.
illness which is its greatest aid in
fighting disease.
When such matter is allowed t,
stand in the open, as every rural res.
ident knows, it becomes q swarmins
place for flies and a hot-bed for dis
ease germs; it pollutes the soil and
drinking water. and is always an un
slightly and embarrassing nuisance
such conditions are generally the
cause Of sickess and disease.
The Sanitary Septic Tank, especial.
ly designed along approved lines fol
use in the rural districts, and mann.
factured by Weston & Brooker, Co
iumbia, S. c., completely solves the
problem of sewage disposal for the ru.
raj home. 1t is Of small size; made OF
reinforced concrete: simple, easy t,
install. never gets out of order O,
needs attention. Placed just beneatl
the surface and connected with the
house by short pipe line, it securel,
keeps the poisonous organic matte,
enclosed until. by natural process, i
disintegrates. and then seeps out int,
the ground. harmless mineral matte
and water. There is no odor, no sol
pollution. Approved by health author

Its cost is small 1t affords all tin,
convenience and the full protection O

worth your while to know all abou
