Tile jiipiny you havi' iiistallecl is sutli-

 larye enonyh. Tlu' oidy criticism is that 

 you Jia\e impi'de<l the circulation by us- 

 iny fewer returns than (lows. If you 

 had three Hows and fotir returns, the 

 circulation would lie lietter. ami if you 

 were to carry the li'oindi pipe the 

 lenyth of the house and use the seven 

 L'-inch pipe- on each side as returns you 

 would iiaxi' a still better arrany;ement.

(iKNTi.KMK.N:— You can strongly and unhesitatingly recommend the 

 "Eclipse" piston type reducing valve to tlorlBts. We have two purchased 

 of .vow last .year. We would not have them out for double their cost and 

 find them as sensitive as a watch. We will be in Chicago soon to take up 

 the vacuum system with jou. Yours truly,
