MR. PALmA's VIEWS.
Former President of Cuba Believes America Saved His Country From
 Anarchy and Ruin.

Havana, Nov. S.--Mr. Estrada Pal ma, formerly president of Cuba, has authorized the publication of his views regarding American interven' tion. He declared publicly in favor of American control in Cuba.
 'It is enough to satisfy my con science" he said, this conviction of having saved my beloved country from anarchy and it's natural results of plunder and ruin"
 He continued, describing what he considers the criminal acts on the part of the revolutionists, and the nee essity to call on the Americans to pre- vent a protracted and sanguinary contest. If I did right or wrong, time will say. That my attitude was immediately justified is proved by the sudden re-establishment of peace through the moral and material in- fluence of the Americans.
 'T do not hesitate to declare that 1t is a thousand times better for our Cuba to be in an independent political situa- ton where liberty is prevailing than a republic independent of a sover- eign but discredited and ruined by blasting periodical civil strifes."
 The letter Is considered important, ,as MT. Palma still commands great in. fiuence with large number of Gu bans.

ood Cooking Depends llore on
The Stove than on the Cook

II would be an unusual cook who
would acknowledge that half the praise
bestowed upon her delicious cooking"
belonged to the stove. BnJ it would be
an extra riiuary cook who wou d fail to
cast the entire blame on the stove when
the dinner is spoiled.
Yet it goes without saying that every
housewife appreciates the helpful coop
Grafton of good stove inst AS keeuly as

The orange that makes cooking easy
will make cooking better. in that the
housewife who eau do a successful DAYS
baking or cook big, delicious dinner
without getting tired can put her re-
serve energy into something else.
That housewives do appreciate the
advantage OF stove that makes cook
ing easy is evidenced by the tremendous
popularity OF Gienwood Ranges. The
very fact that G!enwood Ranges are as
simple as a-h-c in construction tends to
saw much Of the hard work that in
yariahly accompanies cooking on the
ordinary range. In one Of the popular
GIenwoods everything is geI-at-abIe
at the front; ash pan, broiler. door,
CRATE, and ciean-out door-all are handy.
Kitchen doors do not interfere in setting
| this range, for either eud as well as back
may be placed sqHarely against the wall.
All GlenNood Ranges are notable for
their exceptional compactness, fuel saw
ing appliances aud durability of con-
structon. all OF which are very import
ant factors in saving the tabor as we'll
as making for the superiority and
economy Of the Range.
Not only this, but the drusgery in
separable from cooking on the ordinary
stove is wholly removed with a modern
| Glenwood.
The name "Glenwood" is today a
household word, due in large measure
to the good reports of it that neighbor
has made TO neighbor-for it has been
proved beyond any question OF doubt
that the GIenwood Range certaiuly does
make cooking easy
| Leading dealers sell Glenwood Ranges,
Steam and Water Boilers everywhere as
the standard. No risk is taken in buy
ing the Gleuwood, for they are guar.
anteed by the makers to give the service
aud satisfaction that they were intended
to give.
