No Artificial Heal 



Last February, when it was below zero out- 

 side, this little sun-house showed an inside tem- 

 perature of 100° F. in the sha.de. There was no 

 artificial heat whatever, and this remarkable result 

 was due wholly to the sun's rays and the perfect 

 insulation formed by the lining of

Cabot's Sheathing "Quilt" 



which prevented the heat from escaping. 



Quilt is a scientific sheathing, entirely unlike the common thin, dense felts and papers. 

 It keeps the heat in and the cold out (or vice versa) exactly as a bird's plumage does. The 

 extra cost of lining a house with it is more than offset by the fuel saved in a single severe 

 winter, to say nothing of doctors' bills and comfort. 



It is cheaper, more rational and more healthful to build warm houses than to try to heat 

 cold ones, and Quilt is sure to make a house warm.

** You never miss 

 the water, 

 Though the well 

 runs dry/' 



That is, if you are equipped with a 

 proper form of supply. Such a source 

 of water-supply must be independent of 

 the wind or of dry weather, for the drier 

 the season the more water you need. 



There is only one always reliable, 

 abundant, and sure method of bringing 

 water for all domestic purposes ; it is the 



Hot-Air Pump 



This pump is also far and away the 

 cheapest way of getting water, because it 

 soon pays for its first and only cost (that 

 of operation being practically nil) in the 

 time and labor it saves.
