by the makers to deliver water as
clean and pure as it was when it
entered. These new tanks are
covered both inside and out with a
special porcelain enamel that has
been fused directly on the base

property of being corrosion proof
and an absolute minimum of
domestic "barnacles" and fresh
water marine life will collect on the
inside.
We are told by the makers OF these
remarkable new tanks that the
cylinder and top and bottom heads
are all welded together electrically
so that 1t is q solid. one-piece unit.
This feature, combined with its
resistance to corrosion. should make
it a device which will last for years.

Though you may have decided
to soft pedal your outdoor decora-
tions this year you may make up
for 1t by making the interior lovelier
than ever. Soft lights, sweet music
and all the good things to eat that
can be mustered are in order to
make this real Christmas.
The markets are full of the love-
lest holly and evergreens. Fill the
house with them with a planned
decoration that turns 1t into a
Christmas bower.
Wind the newell post in the hall
with trailing evergreen. and as you
look up the stair place huge bunch
Of holly tied with a big red bow on
the landing. If you want to charm
all the youngsters that come to see
you on Christmas Day Ak up a small
tree for the hall or dining room and
call 1t . sugar plum tree. On 1t
place gingerbread men, star shaped
sugar cookies, candy canes, gum
drop flowers and all other bits OF
goodies that may be tied to limb.
It's great fun to pick them off-and
more fun to refill 1t several times
during the day.
Tree in Place of Honor.
In the living room the Christmas
tree should have the place of honor.
Make it a real old-fashioned one
this year with all the sentimental
tinsel, ornaments and canuy bags
that recall all the Christmases since
we were very young.
Just to help make the tree more
important arrange an overmantel
decoration and hang big punches of
holly in place of the usual pictures
in the room on the large wall spaces.
Use candlelight instead of electric
bulbs and freight instead of rush.
