The Bathroom Should Receive Care
full Attention when the Plans

There is no feature of a house
which so directly affects the health
of it's inmates as the sanitary con-
dition. Too much attention cannot
be given to plumbing installations,
as the fumes arising through i'm

sible for many cases of typhoid,
consumption, ETC." This statement
was recently made by E. F. Gray,
Mt. Sterlings leading plumbing con-
tractor. Mr.. Gray enjoys 10 years
of practical experience as a plumb
ing contractor and has been at the
head of his own business for the
past 10 years. Three years have
been spent in Mt. Sterling, while
previously he has travelled extern
sively through large cities where he
gained wide knowledge on modern
methods of up-to-date plumbing. His
quarters are located on Bank and are
completely stocked with a varied
line of modern plumbing fixtures rep

barbel-were lately noticed i'm Trans

fallen into the mines as spawn. When

seen to jump deliberately down the

to have survived the fearful plunge.
