are melting up their money and selling
it, just ordinary plain silver. thereby
causing stringency in the Philippines.
According to Bryan. that is the con-
ditton that prevailed while there was
free coinage in this country. While
France was coming silver at the rate
of 154 to we were Offering to coin
the products of our own silver mines
at the ratio of 16 to I.
Every dollar coined atthat ratio was
worth, in France, $1.O3, wherefore the

in this country went to France and
were mlnted into tiye-franc pieces.
During that period SO few dollars

ponents of Bryan cited the fact to
show that, even when there was free
coinage, nobody took advantage of the
fact.
The Philippine coinage was at sub

The discovery of a new wick prin-
ciple-so effective aud yet so simple
that it is a wonder that no one
thought Of it befOre-has so revolu-
tionized the manufacture Of oil heat
ers and lamps that explosion, smoke
and smell, caused by imperfect wick
arrangement, may safely be regard
ed as things of the past
This new wick attachment is to be
found on the Perfection Oil Heater.
Interesting tests show that, although
the heater gives intense heat, the
wick cannot be turned too high or
too low-absolute safety thus being
assured. One other feature which
is worthy of mention is the smokeless
device which prevents all smoke and
odor. The portability of the heater
also cOmmends it for general house
hold use. Heater is very light and
can easily be carried about. Its SIM
pie operation, usefulness in heating
water and warming cold rooms make
it a most handy and useful article in
any home. This heater is so far su-
perior to other oil heaters, and is of
such fair price that it's universal
adoption is but matter of time.
The Rayo Lamp which is made by
the manufacturers of the Perfection
Oil Heater, is without doubt the best
lamp for all.round household use. Is
equipped with the latest improved
burner, and gives a bright, steady
light at small cost. Suitable for any
room, whether library, dining room
parlor or bedroom.
The Perfection Oil Heater and the
Rayo Lamp form combination tina
for real home comfort cannot b.
equalled. When consideration i
taken of the simple operation Of boil
heater and lamp, their absolute safe
ty, the intense heat generated by tn
one, and the bright and steady ligh
given by the other-all withou
smoke or smell-their value in an.
home, large or small. can be some
what appreciated Sold bv all gooC
