SYRACUSE CHINA 
is beautiful in finish and pattern (of which one 
is shown) and beyond question the most durable 
china made. Strike the edge of any “Syracuse” 
China piece on a like piece of any other china, 
and it will invariably chip the other china with 
no effect on “Syracuse” China—that’s quality. 
Durable 
This beautiful “Syracuse” China is thoroughly vitri¬ 
fied by our double-fire process. There are two tests of 
this: first, its translucency; second, when chipped it 
will not absorb germs, grease or dirt but remain white 
and clean. Get O. P. Co. “Syracuse” because it is gen¬ 
uine, germproof and best china value on the market. 
Beautiful 
The exquisite colors and charming patterns of M 
"Syracuse” China are part of the china itself, 
and practically last as long as it does. JgS 
When they adorn your table with their ele- Mmk 
gance and beauty they will delight your guests MtSit 
and rejoice your heart that you insisted on Ajippj 
beautiful and durable "Syracuse” China. 
Ask your dealer. If he has it. he knows—if he 
hasn’t it, don’t argue, for, on request. 
WE WILL SEND YOU A SAMPLE 
piece. You may then judge for your¬ 
self and get a proper appreciation 
which no illustration can give (in¬ 
close 10c to cover postage on sample).

All bathrooms should have a local 
ventilating pipe of at least twenty-five to 
thirty square inches cross-section, prefer¬ 
ably back of the bath tub but convenient 
of access and continuing through the roof 
starting near the floor. Its inlet should be 
supplied with a damper register and con¬ 
tinued independent through the roof. It 
may be galvanized iron all the way, al¬ 
though preferably it should be connected 
to a regular flue, paralleling and in the 
same chimney with a flue heated by the 
kitchen range, furnace or the like. 
Probably the most used plumbing fix¬ 
ture in the average house is the kitchen 
sink which has had its share of improve¬ 
ments. The best of these now have the 
body, back and drain shelf all in one piece 
the advantages of which are too plain to 
need comment. Note the long solid back 
as shown at the bottom of page 39. 
The one fixture which, like an octopus, 
has an outstretched arm to each fixture 
in the house and remains practically un¬ 
seen is the range boiler or hot water stor¬ 
age tank. Its size depends upon the num¬ 
ber of tenants, the minimum quantity be¬ 
ing 30 gallons for a family of four or less, 
adding eight to ten gallons for each ad¬ 
ditional member of the family. It should 
invariably have a circulation pipe so that 
hot water can be instantly drawn at any 
fixture without waiting for it to travel 
from the boiler. These hot water pipes 
should all be covered with sectional pipe 
covering to conserve the heat. Another 
up-to-date method of supplying hot water 
is to place an automatic instantaneous gas 
hot water heater at some point in the line 
of piping and take all the hot water from 
this. With this system the opening of 
any hot water faucet automatically turns 
on the gas, which is lighted by a pilot light, 
and all water passing through the heater is 
heated to nearly the boiling point; when 
the water is shut ofif a thermostat shuts 
off the gas. This system furnishes boiling 
water at any hour of day or night and 
the fuel bill is always in proportion to 
the amount of hot water consumed. 
If the house is to be located where the 
soil is damp an automatic cellar drainer 
should be installed. These are generally 
placed in a little pit in the lower corner 
of the cellar, connected to the water pres-
