HOUSEHOLD RANGES
The Rugby Household "a" has
the sensible, simple and strong con-
struction OF every range in the splen-
did Household line. 1t is "Built to
Bake it has all newest features that
make cooking easier and pleasantcr.
Its castings are flawless--and per-
iectly finished-its ornamcntation is
rich and beautiful-in fact it has all
the appearance Of the highest grade
ranges.
But we want to call your aiten-
ton to the things you can't see in
pictures or in any other way than by
making 9 careful examination of the
range.
First comes the oven--the most
important part of Ay range-Rugby
ovens, like those in every House
hold Range, are full size and so
evenly heated on all sides, that per-
feet results are easily secured in all
baking. The fire boxes are extra
large for stoves of this grade and are
fitted for burning either coal or
wood. The handsome nickel steel
edges can be lifted off without both
ering with screws and nuts. A
choice of triangular or plain CRATES
is offered.
We ask the favor Of a call that we
may show not only The Rugby but
our entire line Of "Built to Bake"
Household Ranges.

COMFORT FOR THE FAMILY,
Every Farmer Should Have a Garden
In Which TO Raise Vegetables
and Fruits.

II has been asserted that the farm,
sr is the most backward fellow In
the world. so far as looking after his
" comfort is concerned. and that
may be stretched TO include the com
fort OF his family. There Is no ques-
ton that the farmer and his family
should be the best fed people in the
world, but are they? Some are and
some are not. Some have gardens,
orchards. locks of poultry and every
thing that can add to the comfort OF
the farm home. Most do not. Yet
at the back door OF every farmhouse
Is a nice piece Of land that, with q
little care, would yield many kinds
of comfort to his family through
every month OF the year. The farmer
that does not care 10 go into fruit
raising unless he can make It a com
mcrcial operation Is losing sight Of
one OF the chief joys OF raising fruit
that of having m abundant supply for
his own table. What a pleasure II l.
to sec the children and the women OF
the household reyeling In their ripe
fruit. both at picking time and at
eating time!
But the things that would make a
commercial orchard and a commercial
berry patch improbable will not mill
tate with the establishing OF such for
the supply Of the family. Often the
commercial fruit enterprise Is a ques;
ton OF markets. but with the home
orchard there is no question OF a mar
ket. The fruit patch, whether It in.
cludes vines or trees or both. is a
source OF health TO the whole family,
and a delight to the younger members
OF the family that they will remem-
Der In their latest dayss-Farmers' Re-

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful it is i'll
Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier in nature,
but rev realize its value when taken
into the human system for the same
cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take Of it the better; it is not a
drug at all, but simply absorb the
gases and impurities always present
III the stomach and intestines and
carries them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking. drinking or after eating on
ions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm
proves the complexion. 1t Whitens the
teeth and further acts as natural and
eminently safe cathartic.
i absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; it
disinfeCte the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another, but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money
is IN Stuart's Charcoal LoZenges; they
are composed of the finest powdered
Willow Charcoal, and other harmless
antiseptics i'm tablet form or rather in
the form of large, pleasant tasting
loZenges, the charcoal being mixed
with honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in a much improved condi-
ton of the general health, better COM
plexion, sWeeter breath and purer
blood, and the beauty or it is, that no
possible harm can result from their
continued use, but on the contrary,
great benefit.
A Buffalo physician in speaking OF
the benefits of charcoal, says: az adj
wise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all
patients suffering from gas in stom-
ach and bowels, and to clear the COM
pieXion and purify the breath, mouth
and throat; / also believe the liver is
greatly benefited by the daily use of
them; they cost but twenty-five cents
box at drug stores, and although in
some sent a patent preparation. yet
believe / get more and better char
coal Lozenges than in any of the Ordi-
nary charcoal tablets"
