WILL SAVE COUNTLESS LIVES 
«‘The Forbes Sterilizer is superior to all filters or other water sterilizers’’ 
Heighth 32 Inches. Finely 
Finished Copper and Brass 1200 Callowhill St. 
U. S. Goverument Report 
Good health is a blessing. Unsafe water—the kind you are forced to drink— 
is a curse. It robs life of its richest enjoyments and it costs our country over 
$100,000,000.00 every year. Some day you must pay your share of this shameful 
loss. You cannot escape. Sterilized water provides the positive protection. 
You should know that safe water is as essential as pure air. The only perfect, 
economical and satisfactory method of obtaining an abundant supply of absolutely 
safe water tor drinking or culinary purposes is provided by the Forbes Sterilizer. 
Filters can not render this service. Boiled water is objectionable—flat, insipid and 
a bother. Distilled water is harmful. Forbes Sterilized Water is pleasing and 
palatable and most beneficial in its action. 
The Forbes Sterilizer is guaranteed to destroy all the disease-breeding germs 
that are carried in water—typhoid, dysentery, tuberculosis, diphtheria, cholera, etc. 
It helps remove many other ills to which the flesh is heir. Built in all sizes for 
office buildings, hospitals, hotels, schools, stores and factories. The one illustrated 
is a necessity in every properly appointed home—portable, always ready for 
service anywhere. IT IS NOT A FILTER. 
New Domestic Sterilizer. Home is incomplete without it. Capacity two 
to tour gallons cold sterilized water an hour. 
Costs one-tenth of a cent per gallon, or less, ‘‘Fool-proof” and “Bridget-proof,”” anyone who can 
strike a match can operate it. Very handsome. Built of copper and brass. Lasts a lifetime, yet pays 
for itself the first year. Price complete, $25.00, net. Send check for one today, so as to reap its 
benefits with as little delay as possible. Orders are filled in rotation, so do not get impatient for yours, 
State whether yours is to operate by gas, alcohol or kerosene.

Stained with Cabot's Shingle Stains 
Robert C, Spencer, Fr., Architect, Chicago 
The House Beautiful 
is much more beautiful when stained with the soft, 
harmonious tones of 
Cabot’s Shingle Stains 
Their colors have the same depth and richness that is 
found in nature, and houses stained with them melt har- 
moniously into the landscape. They cost 50% less than 
paint, wear as long and grow old gracefully—no cracking 
and peeling like paint—and being made of Creosote they 
preserve the wood.
