Willis L. Moore, chief of the
weather bureau, has recently secured
a patent on his cooling apparatus for
homes At about the same expense
required to heat house in winter
you can cool it in summer to any tenn
perature desired. Besides cooling the
air this machine renders it dry and
healthful. With such machine and
