At a recent meeting of railway mag
mates in New York City objection was
raised against the new departure of
the Lake Shore road in checking
corpses as baggage. Hitherto it has
been o rule among railroads to charge

BOON TO
THE MODERN
HOUSEWIFE.

No modern house is COM

it and where you want II.
This means much. You don't
want a warm kitchen on a hot
summers day, yet the dinner
must be cooked. Here's your
gas range giving YOU heat
enough to cook your dinner
and none to heat the room.
In your laundry it heats your
irons perfectly, but 1t leaves
your laundry cool. There is
no loss, no waste. Just enough
heat for the purpose required
and none left over. The heat
fits the work in every case.
The advantages Of a gas
stove are literally too numerous
to mention. We don't know
half Of them ourselves. New
and improved uses appear every
day.
In all the emergencies OF daily
life the gas stove plays its part.
In the night in case Of sickness
it offers a quick means Of heat
ing water or food. In can heat
or warm up anything instantly.
Hot water for a bath can be
furnished very quickly. Here,
too, is found the same saving,
for the water is hot only when
it is wanted, and only enough
is heated for the immediate
need.
The gas range should be an
important factor in your house
hold life.
The gas stove is not a toy.
but a practical and effective
range with all the delicaey and
control OF a chatting dish, but
with the capacity OF a hotel
range.
1t is the greatest boon that
has ever come 10 the modern
housewife. II opens up for her
the ideal home with perfect
service best living with
ample leisure and opportunity
for higher things. Ii shorens ,
her slavery in her kitchen and
domestic affairs and widens her
