Water Works i'm Country Home.

Rock Hill, Feb. 25.-Experts are
at work to devise means for lifting
tho orudgery of house work from wo-
mems shoulders. tIn South Carolina
one-fourth of the Smith-Lever money
Is to be spent in showing grown wo-
men how to do the work of the home
in better, easier, and more scientific
ways.
The first thing that the rural wo-
man needs is the home water in the
kitchen, water for bathing purposes
piped into the house.
There are many ways of piping
water in the home. The least ex-
pensive is:
To put strong shelf on the OUT
side of the kitchen wall. A barrel
on it. From barrel through kitchen
wall a pipe with a faucet Under
meath the faucet inside of the kitchen
a galvanized sink; cost, $1.25. A hole
bored in top of barrel. The nozzle
of garden hose inserted in it. The
other end of the hose fitted over the
mouth Of the pump. A lead pipe
from sink connected with a inch
tile pipe. The tile pipe should be so
feet long and put about 10 inches
under the ground.
The refuse water many thus be used
to water the garden. This system
has been installed in some of the
homes in South Carolina and is
bringing comfort. This is an mex
pensive beginning; the first step in
an evolution. The second will be an
elevated tank outside Of the home
and use Of hand pump to fill same.
The cost OF this is about $5.o0-14
cents day for one year. The third:
an elevated tank with windmill or
engine for pumping water. with bath
room, closet and kitchen fixtures.

CUT THIS OUT
OLD ENGLISH RECIPE FOR Ca
TARRHAL DEAFNESS AND
HEAD NOISES.

II you know OF some one who Is
troubled with Catarrhal Deafness,
head noises OF ordinary catarrh cut
out this formula and hand il to them
and you will have been the means OF
saving some poor sufferer perhaps
from total deafness. In England
scientists for a long time past have
recognized that catarrh Is a constitu-
tional disease and necessarily re-
quires a constitutional treatment
Sprays, inhalers and nose douches
are liable to irritate the delicate air
passages and force the disease into
the middle car, which frequently
means total deafness, or else the dis
ease Is driven down the air passages
towards the lungs which Is equally
as dangerous. The following formula
which Is used extensively in the damp
English climate Is constitutional
treatment and should prove especial
ly enicacious to sufferers here who
live under more favorable climate
conditions.
Secure from your Druggist / ounce
OF Parmint Double strength). Take
this home and add 10 II IA pint Of
hot water and 4 ounces OF granulated
sugar; stir until dissolved. Take one
tablespoonful four times a day. This
will often bring quick relief from
distressing head noises. Clogged
nostrils should open. breathing be-
come easy and hearing improve as
the Inflammation in the eustachian
tubes is reduced. Parmint Is used in
this way as IL acts directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces OF the
system and has slight tonic action
that facilitates the recovery of the
patient. The preparation is easy 10
make, costs little and is pleasant tc
take. Every person who has ca
tarrh should give this treatment @
