Septic Tank Makes for
Safe Sewage Disposal

In the country, where wells are used.
care should be given to safe disposal
of sewage The Introduction of the
water system and modern plumbing
has brought about a much greater use
Of wafer and consequent question
as to the safe disposal Of The Increased
sewage. the New York World SAYS
The o;d-fashianea cesspool in loose
soil might be allie TO take care Of a
larger amount Of sewage. while the
pores Of the more compact soil are apt
to clog with seni-solid matter and re-
quire frequent cleaning II is posi-
bic 70 place a cessppR SO chat the sew
age will not caniaminate the water
supply but It's continued safety Is
always open to question.
The improved method Of sewage
disposal requires septic tank
through which all sewage passes slow
ly and is then distributed over a suit
able area through tile pipe just below
the surface Of the ground.
This treatment &c sewage is highly
scientific and costs bnt little more
than the cesSpool The best feature
is that Il is safe, The septic tank Is
placed below frost outside. or If neces-
sary in the cellar. the point being that
1t must not be colder than 80 degrees
and pipe line connecting must be able
to carry Off and dispose Of the fluid
discharged, and the TAM; should have
capacity enough to insure time for the
septic action to take place.

combined to make the show outlook

goes into the bread you serve

TN the old days when practically all the
i wheat was raised on the home place,
ground into -four by the village miller, and
made into loaves by the lady Of the house
then women really could know some
thing about the bread they served.
But today-does any woman seriously
believe that she could tell ,one loaf of
bread from another if it were not for the
wrapper? -.
What can she tell--just by examining
loaf of bread-about the quality of the in
gradients that go into it; about the way it
is mixed, raised, and baked?
1t takes a chemist with full laboratory
equipment to detect just the variations in
the -four that mean all the difference be-
tween hearty, wholesome, nourishing
loaf, and loaf poor in nourishment, flavor,
and keeping quality.
