GROWING 
The healthier the tree, the better the 
fruit. The longer trees are sprayed 
with “Scalecide,” the more beau¬ 
tiful, healthful and fruitful they be¬ 
come. “Scalecide” is the acknowl¬ 
edged leader of all soluble oils—the only one containing 
distinct fungicidal properties. “Scalecide” will posi¬ 
tively kill all soft-bodied sucking insects without injury 
to the tree. Let us prove these statements. Send today

serve to break the skyline. Among these 
we might mention, Philadelphus, Honey¬ 
suckle, Lilac, Ailanthus, Sumach. Some 
that are not so high growing and which 
belong in the foreground of these borders 
are Dogwoods, Weigelias, Privet, High- 
bush Cranberry, Forsythia and many 
others that we might mention if we had 
in mind some specific locality. 
The keynote to your success will be 
your general arrangement. Economy and 
art are always on good terms and do not 
be afraid to mix them. I feel sure that 
every suburban home-builder that will 
carry out these suggestions will find that 
their home will become their pride, a 
pleasure spot and a success. 
Instantaneous and Automatic Hot 
Water 
The problem of having sufficient hot 
water for the bath, kitchen, or laundry, 
at a moment’s notice, is one with which 
even the large householder has had to 
struggle; cooks are fallible when it comes 
to keeping the kitchen range hot enough 
for a boiler always full of hot water. 
One of the greatest blessings that any 
householder can desire is the instantane¬ 
ous automatic hot water heater, which 
has now reached such a state of perfec¬ 
tion that once installed you need never 
worry about hot water question. The 
complete heater may be installed in any 
house where gas is available. One need 
only turn a hot water faucet to have im¬ 
mediately hot water pour forth in abun¬ 
dance. The heater itself, which resembles 
a small furnace, is installed in the base¬ 
ment or cellar. It has no connection with 
the kitchen boiler, and it has no boiler of 
its own. | Prospective house builders will 
do well to make arrangements to include 
one of these automatic heaters in their 
specifications.] The price varies from 
$8o to $160, depending upon the number 
of faucets to be supplied. The $80 heater 
supplies three gallons of hot water a min¬ 
ute, with connections for bathroom, 
kitchen and laundry. The heater is easily 
installed in houses already built, the con¬ 
nections being made with hot water pipes 
direct with the heater instead of with the 
boiler in the kitchen. The workings of 
the heater, although apparently quite mar¬ 
velous, are in reality, simple. The heater 
contains a series of coils of copper pipe, 
through which cold water is drawn from 
the water mains. Beneath these coils is 
a powerful set of gas burners. When a 
faucet is turned on the cold water from 
the mains instead of proceeding directly 
into the kitchen boiler in the old way and 
forcing the hot water through the open 
faucet, forces itself through the coils 
above the burners, becoming instantly hot 
with contact as it proceeds through these 
coils and then to the open faucet. Closing 
the faucet shuts off the burners, as open-

GUTTERS 
ON YOUR BOUSE 
T HEY are made of cast iron 
in two styles. One forms 
part of the cornice mould¬ 
ing, the other is the regular half- 
round, hanging shape. These gut¬ 
ters will not rust out. Outlast even 
copper gutters. Not affected by 
salt air or acid conditions. Easy to 
put up — no soldering necessary. 
Joints are leak tight and stay tight. 
Made for all styles of roofs, no 
matter how many angles and turns. 
These gutters are the same kind 
that are used extensively in Eng¬ 
land. Many have been in use there 
over a hundred years. To show 
you their exact size, shape and 
thickness, we will send you, at our 
expense, short lengths of both the

ters, along with a circular giving
