Are Invaluable and should be investi-

About I, 200 are in use in this city and
the number would be greatly increased If
their merits were fully understood.
AS Cookers they are unrivalled ana
are far superior to coal or wood stoves in
cooking meats or vegetables.
As Water Heaters" and sIroners
they are most useful, especially when the
weather is too warm to use the ordinary
stove or range
As o heating apparatus that can be
moved from room Co room in a few min
utes by the housekeeper they are most
convenient
AS assistant heaters in rooms where
furnaces or steam heat win not ascend
ON the windward side they have given
great satisfaction.
AS permanent heaters in rooms that
cannot be reached by heating hues they
have given much comfort.
As intermittent heaters where heat is
wanted only an hour or two at time,
they are economical
For offices and stores, when the weather
Is rnther warm for furnace fires, they
may prevent sickness
For spring and autumn use when mild
days make furnace fires oppressive, trou-
bles0me and expensive, they are comfort-
I able and economical
As fires that can be started in a min
ute and eXtinguished in less time, they
are most satisfactory
AS heaters that avoid ASHES. COAL
GAS and DUST, they are valued by pru-
