ton plant. t would probably furnish

purposes for which the municipality
Is paying out $1,000. 900 q year. But
the city does something else with its
waste.
A reduction company now gets the
garbage for paltry payment of
$1,000 yearly. Formerly for nearly
twenty years. another company was
actually paid from s65 900 to S2oo. 900 q
year for taking 1t away. A contrac-

to take the dead animals collected
in the city. which are worth for
commercial purposes to be turned

In Berlin such reckless municipal
improvidence is unthinkab!e. There
they save even the city sewage. 1t
is used as a fertilizer on the Riesel-
fielder. These are the filtration

municipality raises all the veget-
ables, the grain for -four. and the

whose parents desired It, I have
been in receipt Of requests from sew

plain the school-farm idea, and to
tell them how mothers could help
in bringing 1t into actual existence.
Why not turn the Fairgrounds into
school farms? The constructive play
ground dovetails perfectly with that
vision.
To mothers of boys and girls who
have grown beyond the age when
they. with docility. will confine their
play to the narrow limits OF the back
yard, the vacation months are look

streets and idleness. mixed compan-

influences which the earnest and
conscientious mother breads for her
children.

They are dusty places at best. and

First. the sink is too shallow.
Measure an actual sink, pore over

find not a sink listed deeper than
eight inches. and seven inches Is the
usual depth. Measure also the av-
erage dishpan, and experiment with

Nothing except the unpleasant fact
that this water sloshes against the

much to add three inches to the
depth Of every sink and thus make
1t really ample enough to contain

This means back-breaking. back

not add three. four or five inches Of
pipe to the sink legs. or install it
with concealed hanger at an eff
cient height? This varies somewhat.
but it Is safe to say that no sink
should be set lower than thirty
inches. and for a woman five feet
six. a distance Of thirty-three inches
should be allowed between the floor
and base Of sink,
the drainboard. The ideal is a
sink with q stack Of surface
to the right and a drain to
the left. But consider the number
of sinks iammed tight into cor
ner with no drain whatever. too

The so-called Cooks sink is a

there would be some hope of secur-
