Same of the old- er schemes have been iinproved upon. There is the windmill system, which is net eestii`ely satisfactory on still days unless preeautia+ns have been taken. The elevated tank into wh'eli water is pumped by hand, windmill by draulic` mem, or other power, is .a good sys- tem. The disadvantages are- that the tank mut he elevated. in attic. hay - neer, tower or on Isiah land. In the; latter the water is 1 Isle to freeze. The attic ie generally used, but there , i danger of kale cawing damage. a Then. too, in the elevated tank, soft water has usually been used, so that the pressure and supply are at the mercy of the season, In recent years the pneumatic tank or compreese 1 air sy.-tern has been. giving entire satisfaction in thousands of homes in Canada. The large steel' tank is placed in the cellar or stable, or und_rgreund, so that damage from leaks end freezing in winter are wool• ed. The a iz•tight tank is fitted with a water glass and pressure gauge. These register the height of water and the pressure, so that when the water falls extra air may be pumped in. Th tank may be placed upright or hori- zortally. With the pneumatic system he wat er is pumped into the tank at the bot- tom, and as it rises it compresses the air in the tank into a small space at the top.

Time and labor are greatly economized on wash- days by the stationary tubs under taps of hot and cold water from which the water drains away. The well kept kitchen sick, with a sink board and strainer, provides a handy place for dishwashing. The bar_.hroom with basin and bath tub saves much time and greatly in- crease: the comfort of bathing. No- thing is sc. refreshing as the warm plunge after a day cf baking aver . hot stole in Summer.

The tank may be filled by hand pump, windmill, gasoline engine, hydro or, other power. Soft or hard water may be used; the well is most satisfactory. In some homes both hard and soft water are used by installing another tank operated by the same pump. The pressure from the compressed air • tem is much stronger than from oth-, ers. The first cost is more, but the pneumatic has proven more enduring. What It Costs. With a hand pump the tank costs about $70. Since the war plumbing supplies have gone up, so prices are higher to equip a seven or eight - !roomed house for a family, the total cost would be about $250 altogether at present. Fixtures and plumbing for kitchen and bathroom, in neat not elaborate enamel, would be about $165. a Cement tubs for laundry about $12 or $15 more. Procelain are higher. Cost depends partly on quality of fix- tures and amount of piping noceseary and size of tank required. Where there is already a windmill cost is less. With a large enough tank this system can be made to supply stable water of course. Two houses may be supplied from one tank; half a doze - in a village is desired. The heating is clone through a coil in the furnace attached to the boiler, or from the. kit- chen range or small gas:heater made for the purpose.
