The Age OfPrOgress.

1t is not SO long since that the only
cooking done was in or on massive iron
stove, over which women of twenty lost
all traces of youth, preparing food for
the "men folks" In harvest time the
faithful farmers wife and daughters
parched their faces hour after hour;
because science had then not made
known better way. Oil stoves were
not invented; and such a thing as a
gasoline stove, which could be lighted, a
meal cooked to the queens taste for
half dozen people, on the hottest day
of the year, and no SuperfuOuS heat
such a thing was not dreamed of.
But look in to-day (Or next summer, for
that matter) upon kitchen scene where
there is a ''Jewel' in operation and note
the contrast. No smoke; no red. suf-
fering faces, cropping through it; no
greasy smell; no dirt; no heaps of fuel:
no bad humOr. Dear reader, if you have
had such experience you will recognize
the great good in buying "Jewel" of
