Frenchmen Taught How to Behave on

Although dueling has long been
laughed out of court in this country,
our continental friends by no means
share our opinion of this method OF
settling affairs of honor.
Though the French duel is usually
carried through without any serious
injury to either combatant, 1t Is re-
garded with grave consideration and
every detail has to be attended to
most punctilously.
In order that gentlemen who may be
called upon to defend themselves at
the point of the pistol may have some
training for the ordeal, says the VIDE
World Magazine, there has been estaD-
lished in Paris a school Of dueling, one
prominent member being ex-President

Almost Beyond Belief.

More than seven square inches a1r-ieakage
In the ordinary heating stove!
The usual construction of stoves leaves o
inch opening between the top and sides, which
is filled with StOve-putty.
After a few months use. this putty dries up
and falls out, leaving 70 inch crack around
the top of the stove. which on an Is inch stove
means seven SQUARE INCHES OF DRAFT over
which you have no control.
Add to this the uncontrolled leakage from
or 10 other putty joints around the door
draft almost the full capacity OF the chimney
and you will readily see why such stoves are
expensive-why the valuable gases and a
large part OF the heat escape up the chimney.
The only stove on the mar ket made without
putty joints and guaranteed to remain always
air-tight is Coles Original Hot Blast, for soft
coal, hard coal or wood. See 1t at tDealers
