HEATING WATER. —_# THE EASIEST WAY. During, the summer months, when the heat is oppressive and the air is thick with dust particles, how refreshing it is to jump into a nice hot bath, rhat "tired ' feeling vanishes like magic, and your whole system feels Ijenefited. Sea bathing is all very well, but a hot bath at least once aweek is essential to the health, so medical men tell us. The easiest, most convenient, and cheapest way to obtain this is by means of an Electric Heater. Just press a switch and hot water is yours in any quantity for the small cost of about one-third of a pennv per hour. These heaters are real laboursavers. and no home should be withoutone. They are obtainable from the Municipal Electricity Department, or from any other Electrical Contractor. —7
