City Water Slupply 
for Country Homes 
You can have just as efficient 
water supply in the country as in 
the city, with the Kewanee System. 
Wherever running water is needed,

the largest country estate, all re¬ 
quirements can be met with the 
Water Supply System 
The Kewanee is the original air 
pressure system, giving an abun¬ 
dant supply of water under strong 
pressure for bathroom, kitchen, 
laundry, garage, garden, barns and 
stock. No elevated tanks to 
freeze in winter and become stag¬ 
nant in summer. Exceedingly sim¬ 
ple to operate and absolutely 
trouble-proof. Ready for a life¬ 
time of unexcelled service as soon 
as the shipping crate is taken off.

cialties: Water Supply Systems, Electric Light*

AURORA THE 
MAGNIFICENT 
By GERTRUDE HALL 
The story of a Cape Cod 
woman in Florence, described 
by the British consul as possess¬ 
ing “a warm voice like the crim¬ 
son heart of a valentine.” How 
she bought what she liked and 
not what she thought she ought 
to buy; how she saw beauty in 
marble lemons and objects of 
mimicry in Simma Bewey’s 
(Cimahue’s) Madonnas, and 
how, notwithstanding, she won 
the hearts of the sophisticated 
and the super-refined American 
colony—make a story of un¬ 
usual and distinctive charm.

HELEN DAVENPORT GIBBONS 
Letters from an American 
Bryn Mawr girl in her first 
year as the missionary’s wife at 
Tarsus to her mother, 4000 
miles away at home. The thrill¬ 
ing experiences of these young 
Americans during the Armeni¬ 
an massacres as told by the 
young wife make a dramatic 
and heroic tale of tense human 
appeal.

THE STINGY 
RECEIVER 
ELEANOR HALLOWELL 
ABBOTT 
The story of a modern Dio¬ 
genes—a worldly-wise invalid 
widow, enormously wealthy— 
who searches the world with 
the lamp of munificent gifts in 
search of one generous receiver. 
How her undesired gifts bring 
together Dr. Sam Kendrue, 
and Solvei Kjelland, who is 
from Norway and radiant with 
laughter, adds another light 
and sparkling romance to this 
popular author’s credit. Under¬ 
lying the humor of absurd situ¬ 
ations and the witty byplay is 
an earnest plea for greater con¬ 
sideration of those who give.

SILENT CLOSET 
So silently perfect in operation is 
the Si-wel-clo that it cannot be heard 
outside the bathroom. 
Built on the most sanitary principles—of china, 
vitrified and glazed so that soil will not cling to its 
surface. A damp cloth removes any trace of dirt. 
The same is true of our bathtubs, lavatories and 
other plumbing goods. Your entire plumbing 
should be of all-clay materials. You will find 
them ultimately economical, and the cost of in¬ 
stallation and fittings is the same as on the cheap¬ 
est. The ”Star and Circle” trade-mark is your 
insurance of the best.
