How The House WINS Heated.
"The very first thing | want to have

| Mr.. J j. Mciicevcr, when the case Nas

perfectly simple. we can not only heat
| your house with gas economically. as well
as furnishing reliable gas ranges for cook

| you the trouble and dirt accustomed by
| using either coal or wood
with thousands of people over the coun-
| try using gas for cooking purposes, The
common belief that coal or WOOD Is cheaper
Is being rapidly disspa,ed.
THE use OF gas In gas ranges Is not
only % saving, nearly one-half the cost OF
wood or coal but Is also tho saving OF
tho food as well Tho slow. dry process OF
the coal stove causes great Shrinking IN
meats, while the rapid quick action OF the
process of cooking by gas reduces shrink-
age TO minimum.

ing purposes, but bed rooms, sitting rooms
and parlors viii be heated by 1t also. The
extreme rapility with which heat can he
produced on necessary occasions is the
hest argument in favor OF It's use.
In the winter you have no great desire 10
disrohe in n cold bed room. but If you have
a little gas stove attached by a flexible
tube to the gas fixture in your room, you
can heat it in five minutes. so that you
can undress comfortably; then turn out tho
gas, Jump into bed, cover up your head
and In the morning the process can be re-
peated. The same rule a. piles to Your SIT
ting rooms and parors. Your house viii
always be neat and clcan-and Cleanliness
Is next to goodness" You can procure
more even heat with gas than with coal.
In case OF sudden sickness M night. aud

yclopcd fro burning at your hand in an

Ii you want to save money, an honest
Investigation will convince you that ar

cleanest aud most economical fuel In us.
md that after the beginning OF the TWEEN
tieth century IT'S Use win be universal.
Then IN tell you" said Joshua Miggs,
I'm leave that all to you. seein you know
what we want"
So the wonderful Miggs mansion had
plenty OF heat, perfect ventilation and no
draughts

Mrs. Miggs had been inquirlng, and Mrs.
