How TO Keep the Kitchen Cool and
Comfortable in Midsummer.

Many a housewife is wondering how
she will pass through the coming sum-
mer months with the stove she well
knows will make the kitchen unbear-
ably hot-to say nothing of the dirt,
dust and ashes that will add to the
discomfort.
There Is way out Of it ala way
that not only lessons the work and
keeps the kitchen cool, but that also
reduces fuel expense. This conven-
fence. comfort and economy is all eff
fected by the New Perfection Wick
stove so superior to other makes that
1t Is fast replacing the coal and wood
range, the old-fashloned oil-stove. and
in many cases the gas stove.
Anyone who has had TO wait ten or
fifteen minutes for the fire to get start
ed Will appreciate the New Perfection,
which gives strong working fame
at moment of lighting. Blue Flame"
means the hottest and cleanest fame
produced by any stove The fame Is
always under immediate control and
can be raised or lowered instantly. The
convenience OF this will be understood
when it is considered that while the
flame OF one burner is boiling the
kettle or roasting a large joint. that
Of another can be reduced to simmer
Ing point-in this way enabling the
housewife to cook a variety of dishes
al one time.
Then the comfort of it. While the
fame of the New Perfection IS intense
~ hot. yet the heat is not thrown off
into the kitchen because 1t is conCen-
trated by blue enameled chimneys
On washing and ironing days the
comfort and convenience of the New
Perfection will be greatly appreciated
It gives best results in the least time
and does away with all coal ana wood
carrying and the many other disagree
able Jobs that have to be done with
other stoves. The New Perfection is
made in three sizes with one, two. and
three burners. and is warranted to give
full satisfaction.
Another home comfort is tho Rayo
Lamp, which produces a light Of un-
| usual brightness, Yet soft and mellow

FREAK LEGISLATION.

The output Of freak legislation this
year promises to be unusually abun-
dant. The Arkansas legislature is Sc
riously considering a bill prohibiting
nonresidents of the state from acquir-
ing title to real estate within it's ju-
risdictiOn. The Texas lawmakers are
debating bill making it unlawful for
a wage Garner to work more than twen-
ty-six days in any month, under a
heavy penalty. In Oklahoma a con-
stitutional provision has been propos-
ed in good faith providing for the
election of United States senators by
the people, and compelling the legis-
lature to ratify such election or expel
members voting against it, and anoth-
er providing that all persons of good
moral character may be admitted to
practice law without examination, and
allowing persons not lawyers to serve
as county law judges. The licensing
of piano tuners is pet measure of a
Missouri legislator. In the legislature
of that state bill has been introduced,
and gravely urged prohibiting any one
from playing baseball except within
an inclosure surrounded by an eight
foot fence, under a severe penalty

ex-governors are living and that this
was probably greater number of liv-

the circumstance that Alabama also
has five former governors still alive.
They are Rufus W. Cobb, elected in

(LOuS bTdUCl RECORD
The New York Suns recent violent
attacks upon President Roosevelt's
railroad policy have led the Suns
contemporary, the World, to examine
it's neighbor's files And deeply in
teresting discovery has been made.
The World has learned nothing less
than that in 1884 the now ultra-con-
servative Sun supported Benjamin F.
Butler for president of the United
States on a platform containing the
following radical planks:
I'VE denounce as dangerous to our
Republican institutions those methods
and policies of the Democratic and
Republican parties which have sane
toned or permitted establishment of
land, railroad, money and other gigan-
tic monopolies; and we demand such
governmental action as may be neces-
sary to take from such monopolies the
powers they have so corruptly usurp-
ed and restore them to the people to
whom they belong
I'VE demand congressional regula-
t1on of interstate commerce; We de-
nounce pooling, stock-watering and dis
examinations in rates and charges, and
demand that congress shall correct
these abuses, even if necessary by the
construction of national railroads. We
also demand the establishment of a
