A single regiment of poilus held KENNEL hill.
The German storm troops wedged themselves
between the British and French flanks crossed the
Kemmel-Ypres road, and truned southwark.
Thus KENNEL hill was surrounded,
Concerning the extent Of casualties the dis
patches are silent.
We only know that Won Hindenburg wanted it,
Il is 400 feet high, and it's summit oval shaped is
flat It's sides slope Its crest commands the valley
Won Hindenburg wanted it, and Won Hindenburg
got it. A single regiment of poilus held it. They
made Won Hindenburg pay!
Aye, he paid! He sent his swinish hordes against
At, and the poilus moved them down. Regiment aft
regiment swept part way up the HILL faltered and
remnants staggered back.
More regiments and still more regiments did Won
Hindenburg send against KENNEL hill. And his
artillery sheled it from every angle.
The poilus held for eight hours!
Outnumbered ten to One they held, without a
thought of surrender.
Won Hindenburg took no prisoners on KENNEL
hill. He found only dead men on the crest! For
every dead Frenchman on the summit, we wager,
there were ten dead Germans on the slope. Oh, be
sure that Won Hindenburg paid!
That little band of heroes has put us Americans
in their debt-a debt we never repay. They have
made our task just that much less difficult.
Those Germans who lie today on the slopes of
KENNEL hill will never kill Americans.
And what shall we do to repay the Frenchl What
must we do? We must get our soldiers across the
ocean quickly and in vast numbers We must put
forth during the next few months every ounce of
strength. We must make another sacrifice
like that of KENNEL hill unnecessary. We must
save the French who now saving us.
We are not measuring up to our allies, the

n constitutes good plumbing in
the modern home Is q question that
comes up to every present-day home
builder or house remodeier. Il is a
question that can be answered In a
number of ways, and my purpose here
is not to tell you how you can install
your WI plumbing In this good look
ing house design and make a sanitary
Job of 1t, but, on the contrary, to give
you such Information that you will be
able to see that the plumber gives you
the best Job he is capable of for the
amount of money which you give him
for that purpose, for / do not believe
that any man. however handy he may
be with tools, can do as good a job Of
plumbing as q licensed plumber can,
nor should he attempt to do SO.
However, there is no doubt that any
one who contempiates installing plumb
ing on his premises can effect an ap-
preciable saving both Of patience and
money by learning for himself some
of the fundamental rules about plumb
ing.

trated, we have a floor plan which

I walked my very best and stood my

gave when I won one prize which was
very, very fine.
"She gave u cry of joy just like I

"Ah, no." said Billy, "you don't know
what I mean. I won prizes too as /
said before and ! did my best for my
mistress sake, and she seemed happy
and pleased and proud. But ! heard
something else which did amuse me-"
"What?' asked Sarah.
"Listen, and I will tell you" said
Billy. So Sarah walked up and crawled
up on the rug beside Billy and said:
. 'sTell me, Puppy Friend"
Billy and Sarah had both been at
the deg show. Of course, but they had
been in different parts Of the building
for they had been entered in different
exhibitions. That is, Billy was trying
to win a prize over other little West
Highland puppies like himself, and
Sarah was trying to win prizes over
other little female puppies like herself.

and Suzette.
So that when they reached home aft
er the show they had to talk 1t all over.
"Tell me what you heard" said
Sarah.

said that West Highland puppies were
going to be the most popular dogs the
country round"
Indeed" said Sarah, chow very
ine."
"Yes," continued Billy. land ! heard,
too, that one of the reasons for 1t was
that In addition to our nice white coats
and u bright ways and our good dis
positions that we weren't very large
eaters and that folks were thinking of
that too"
what" exclaimed Sarah. 'They
ever think about whether we r big
eaters or not?"
"Yes," said Billy, because they say
food Is becoming very valuable and
that lots of 1t must be saved. SO they
think we will be very, very popular"
swell, WELL" said Sarah. that's q
funny joke. I've heayd of a dog being
popular because he was clever, had q
good disposition and was good-looking
or a nice family pet. But II. is the first
time I ever heard of q dog being popu-
lar too because he or she didn't over

"We have to keep up with the times"
said Billy, wagging his tail.

It's lucky we don't care for such a

"Yes." said Billy, sit is-but then

for any plumber will tell you that q
s%tuffed-up trap or one that Is un-
cleaned Is the seat Of 80 per cent Of
the plumbing troubles In every house;
but no M seems to take the trouble
of cleaning their traps. because 1t il
an unpleasant job and will. instead,
wait until the traps are stopped up,
then call for the plumber. and wonder
why the bills are large, when they are
caused by their own negligence.
One OF the most important traps In
the house, but one that is seldom in
stalled on account OF the small addi-
tional cost, is the grease trap for the
kitchen sink. This consists Of q re-
ceptacle placed under the sink, which
receives all Of the waste matter from
the sink and passes 1t through this
trap, which is surrounded by a water
cooled chamber, cooling the greasy wa
ter and forming a solid cake Of grease,
which can be easily removed from the
trap by taking or the cover. The trap
is cooled by connecting the cold water
pipe In such a mi that all water
crawn through the faucets must first
pass through this cooling chamber
without coming In contact In any way
with the grease chamber. This trap
ran also be placed outside and buried
In the ground, having a vent pipe TAX
an from It and carried above the roof;
this vent pipe will then act like a
chimney, and draw all odors from the
trap and discharge them above the
roof. In this kind of a trap no water
is used to cool the trap, as the ground
acts as a cooling medium. This grease
trap is more important than many pep
pie think, for there Is nothing that will
clog up a pipe quicker than grease
from a kitchen sink, and especially Is
this true in country plumbing, where
there is no public sewer and q sew
age disposal system is used.
Refrigerator Drain Big Aid.
This Is also N of the important
items of good plumbing that bears a
very close relation to the health of
the family. We are all familiar with
the nuisance Of placing q pan under
the refrigerator to catch the dripping
water from the melted ice; how often
1t is forgotten and uns over, splitting
the contents on the floor. This can be
easily avoided by placing a drip pan
or safe, as it is called, under the re-
frigerator and connecting this safe to
a pipe having a trap, and discharging
this pipe into ar open sink. which has
a faucet connected to 1t and a vented
pipe. Do not by any means connect
this waste pipe to any Of the waste or
soil pipes of the other fixtures, so
there will be positively no opportunity
for any odors or gases from the soil
lines going back into the ice box. This
is very important. and does not at all
times receive the care aud attention

venience. On the second floor are two
large bedrooms, bathroom and ample
closet space.
Every Fixture Should Have q Trap.
AS to the plumbing, perhaps you
have noticed under a sink a piece Of
pipe bent to resemble the letter IS"
laid on its side. This is what Is
known as a strap" Every fixture, and
by that Is meant the sink, the wash
trays, the bath tub, water closet and
lavatory, should have a trap placed d.
rectly below the outlet Of the fixture.
This is demanded by all the laws of
health and by practically every city
as a plumbing ordinance. The reason
for this trap Is that all of the waste
matter from the fixtures passes
through this trap on the way to the
sewer, and in the bottom of the trap
there is always a small quantity OF
water which absorbs the gases and
odors which come from the pipes and
sewers and prevents these gases and
odors from coming back into the
rooms, which would cause headaches,
sickness and other ills. SO, primarily,
the first importance of good plumbing
requires that every fixture shall be
trapped.
Traps are usually vented, that Is,
the crown or top Of a trap Is connect
ed to a small pipe, which runs to the
outside air. This is done so that when
ever a large quantity Of weter or
waste matter is discharged through q
trap, or II another fixture nearby Is
suddenly emptled, the suction caused
In the pipes by the sudden rush OF wa
ter prevents the trap from siphoning
or running dry. In which case there
would be no prevention from the gases
passing back from another trap into
the house. However, there are traps
which can be purchased which do not
require the extra expense Of back-vent-
ing with an air line. These traps are
called nOn-sIphUn or anti-s1phofi trapSs
