Do it Now; " 1918 A Christmas concert for the bene- fit of the fled Cross ot South Runny- mede, and also the Knitters' Fund was held in King George School on Thursday evening. The programme was by the pupils, and consisted of recitations, dialogues, choruses, duets and solos, the whole of the program having a patriotic feeling. Each of the nine classes under their respective teachers gave a contribution, li0 pu- pils taking part. Trustee Frank Craw- ford was chairman. We have a portable galvanized tank, ten feet long, four feet high, three feet wide, placed in the chamber over the kitchen, with an outlet near the top, which holds sufficient rain water tor a Small family. A half inch gas pipe from this tank is connected with the reservoir on my range. I had a hole drilled in the lid of the reservoir. and a faucet in the gas pipe does away with lifting or carrying water. On wash days I fill my boiler from the reservoir, using my quart dipper. We also have the rain water connect- ed to the kitchent sink by a half inch gas pipe from the tank. This is my greatest labor saver.“ Any farmer's wife can have this, as the expense is not very great. I also have a good sanitary drain for throwing out all waste water. Mrs. D. J.
