A CHEAP FILTER To make a good filter at small cost, take a large flower pot and invert over the hole at the bottom a saucer from a smaller pot. Place over this a layer of coarse sand, fine sand, charcoal and fine sand again in the order named. Another utensil is then placed to receive the puri- fied water.

When the ax is stuck so that the entire edge is in the wood, raise the handle until a part of the edge is out above the surface, and then place the cliip as instructed.
