Septic Tank for Sanitation

Sanitary engineers and health de.
partments agree that the septic tank
is the best solution for proper saniI
tation in the disposal of sewage fol-
suburban or country districts where
sewers are not available. The sep
tic tank treats sewage by sedimen-
tation and septic action. To obtain
this action at maximum it is es-
sential that consideration be given
to the design and capacity of the
tank. Tanks are manufactured in
many different sizes to meet every
requirement, with small ones for
family use and larger ones for
schools, sanatoriums. -.

In the land fighting, the COM
munique said. the Chinese were
holding their original outpost lines"

gaining their positions in counter
attack.

and Burmese detachments In sup

fighting that frequently broke out
into hand-to-hand, bayonet- WELD
ing encounters.

the Chinese outposts to heavy bonn
bardment, but casualties were said
to be few and the communique re-
ported that "the Chinese forces have
the situation we'll in hand"

emily were counter -thrustS against

inforced in the last few days.
