A STEP FORWARD.
Another Appliance That Adds to the Comfort and Convenience of
 Humanity.

Thanks to Edison and other inventive geniuses, life is becoming more and more pleasant. To women especially are these. household appliances welcome. House. keeping is now an art, and cooking a science. The old-time heat and smoke of the kitchen has been done away with. The greatest boon to the housewife Is the New Process" Blue Flame OilStove. z uses common coal oil (kerosene), pro- ducing a blue flame which is without. smoke or odor. It cooks and bakes per- fectly and without smoke soot or offen- sive odor. It does not heat the room like an old fashioned stove and is partic- ularly desirable for summer. A cooking utensil or fiat-iron can be placed in-di-. rect contact with the flame and yet. will. remain free from soot. It it safer and easier to operate than a coal oil lamp, for there are no chimneys to be broken, and the reservoir being away from the fire is never heated. The wick is regu- lated automatically. In thus utilizing kerosene as a fuel it Is possible to draw both fuel and light from the same bar rel. -'fi, 'e
 The Hopkins Stove and Tinware eom- pany, with characteristic enterprise, have secured the exclusive control of the "New Process" Blue Flame Oil Stove for the Birmingham market The ladies are in- vited to call and examine its meritss and the manager feels confident of convincing them that this stove is the stove par excellence

 His unusual talent soon brought him reputation and prominancei among his professional brethren. First he was elected to the professorship of anatomy and surgery in the Vermont University. Next he was appointed lecturer n nateria medica and medical botany in Dartmouth College. The next year he. was chosen professor of the chair then vacated by Pref. Robby and occupied the chair, the most important one in the country, at the time when he first formula ted his most remarkable prescription.
 In view of ths overwhelming testimony to the value of Paine's Celery Compound that has recently appeared from men and women of national reputation, the picture of Prof. Phelps is part .crlarly interesting.
 The fact is, Paine's Celery Compound is not patent medicine: it is not sar- saparilla; it is not a mere tonic; it is not am ordinary nervine--it is as far beyond them all as the diamond is superior to cheap glass.
 It makes people we'll. It is the enc true specific recognized and prescribed today by eminent practitioners for dis eases arising from debilitated nervous system. Prof. Phelps gave to his profess
