iliar with the ash pan method and have, no doubt
gone through the process many times of spreading
a newspaper or cloth under your stove every time
the over-flled pan is removed.
The ash pan is not only dirty, but is great evil
in stove construction. 1t adds door and joints
which can be made only temporarily air-tight by
the use of stove putty. These joints open after
few weeks use, rendering ash pan stoves worthless
as fire keepers 1t makes them fuel-eaters rather
than fuel-savers The ash pan and the shield for
guiding ashes into the pan, also prevent base heat
Our method is the only clean way. The
whisk broom, turkey wing and dust cloth
are dispensed with. There are no joints to
leak air, base heat is not retarded and Coles Hot
Blast is the cleanest stove, the best floor heater
and the only stove in the world which can be
guaranteed to remain always air-tight,

DUST PROOF

Coles Original Hot Blast is the cIeanest
stove ever placed on the market. Our method
of removing ashes shown by cut No. l, is per-
fectly clean and overcomes the many objections
to the ash pan used in other stoves. The elbow
draft casting with its upward slant allows the
empty coalhod to be set under the draft so that
no ashes or Goals can be spilled on the floor Our
patented dustless ash cover shown by illustration
is furnished free with Nos. l22, 1872 1872 and
1876 stoves. 1t keeps down every particle of dust
in removing ashes, feature that will be ap-
preciated by every tidy housekeeper.
The ash pans used in other stoves are too small TO
hold full "a hours accumulation of ashes. They
are usually over-illed when removed and the ashes
in the bottom OF the stove are dragged out the

KNOW THY COUNTRY.
A Precept That Every Citizen should
Take to Heart.


Juvenal said, This precept descends
from heayen-know myself" To this
we add-know thy country. Know its
area, its population, its products, ma
tive and exclusive, agricultural and
mineral. Know its present output and
its possibilities. Know its states, its
territories and large cities and what
they are severally noted for. Know
its geography and Typography. its con-
stitution, principles and history, its
literature, its art and its sciences, its
philosophy, discoveries and inventions.
Know its relation to other nations,
both political and financial. Know its
possessions - Alaska, Hawaii, Porto
Rico and the Philippines-the history
seYerally, the customs and languages
of their people and the sources of their
wealth. Many men know these things
nowand love their country and are serv-
iceable to their fellow citizens in pro
portion TO their knowledge. 1t costs
labor and the sacrifice of so called
pleasure to acquire this knowledge, but
to the genuinely manly man, whose
life's purpose is to make the utmost of
his abilities and opportunities and who
in one way and another is developing
his cOuntry's hidden treasures and i'm
parting his own practical enthusiasm
