WATER 
is the one thing needed in constant and 
abundant supply in every home. You 
may economize in using coal, meat, 
books, horses and automobiles; you 
may cut down your allowance for 
amusements and tobacco, and still suffer 
no harm, but the moment you curtail 
your use of water, you invite unclean- 
liness and ill-health. You lower 
your moral tone. 
Ask any man who has installed in 
his home a 
Hot-Air 
Pump 
what the effect has been, and his re- 
ply will be, “My family uses more 
water than before, because the supply 
is abundant and always available. | 
also find, that my children, with a bath 
at hand, have, of their own accord, 
acquired habits of cleanliness.” Surely 
this is something which cannot be 
measured in dollars and cents, and 
yet, a Hot Air Pump is not an ex- 
pensive luxury.

Practically automatic, the cost of main- 
tenance is almost nil: Capacity 100 to 
100,000 gallons of water per diem. One of 
these pumps, representing a permanent in- 
vestment which will outlast a generation, can 
now be bought at the very low price of 
$108. Descriptive catalogue “U”’ sent

two sowings a year, an almost continual

can be had all summer long. 
The hollyhock (Althea rosea), is a dear old- 
fashioned flower‘to which a lot of sentiment 
is attached. It has one drawback, the 
hollyhock disease, which so far no one seems 
to be able to control. It should, however, 
be grown, but as soon as it becomes diseased 
dig it up and burn it. It grows from four 
to six feet high, and bears a long spike of

inches in diameter, and are borne on long

good for cutting. The plants are one to
