Because air Is the only free fuel and no
trust in control inventors have tried for
years to find way by which properties
could be drawn from the atmosphere and
used as fuel for general household pur-
poses, thus producing the cheapest fuel
obtainable.
To Cincinnati genius heretofore un.
known to fame must go the credit of
solving this great question. Understand,
you cannot burn air absolutely alone but
this new air generator actually takes it's
fuel almost entirely from the atmosphere,
SO much as to take in 395 barrels of air
while consuming one gallon of oil.
The time has come at last when our
readers are no longer compelled to con-
tinually drudge in hot fiery kitchens with
coal and wood fires SO ruinous to health
and looks, for every family who desires
can cook, bake and heat with oil and air
gas, the wonderful new fuel which fire.
quently saves from one-third to one-half
on fuel bills. What a blessing this is to
women folks, who for the first time in
their lives can say, no more coal or wood,
nor deadly gasoline to burn and kill. nor
smoky oil wick and valve stoves.

wax?
1. It is practically impossible to give
you a definite statement in regard to
the number of private pensions during
session of Congress- as the number
varies and increases almost daily. The
House of Representatives usually gives
one day each week to pension legisla-
ton, except at the end of session,
when the appropriation bills have the
right of way, and few If any special
days are set apart for any specific sub
ject In the Senate there is no special
day, but pension bills can be called up
by Senator at any time. At the end
of this session the total number of bills
passed by Congress can probably be OBJ
tanned by applying to the Clerk of the
House Committee on Invalid Pensions.
2. A common recipe for grating wax
is: Melt together equal quantities of
resin and beeswax, and add enough tai
low to produce the proper consistency.
| o. r. s., Tacoma, Wash, asks: Who
was Capt. Molly Pitcher?
This question presents a curious illus
ltration of how competent historians may
be led to confuse two distinct incidents
Mary Ludwig Hays. of Lancaster Coun-
ty, Pa, took the place of her husband,
Serg't Hays, in charge of one of the
guns at the battle of Monmouth. after
he had been severely wounded. For her
brave conduct she was personally COM
plimented by Gen. Washington. and she
became known as "Moll Pitcher" The
other incident Is that of Margaret Coch-
ran Corbin, who was born in Franklin
County, Pa. and who received one-half
the monthly pay of soldier on account
of having been wounded and disabled at
the battle of Fort Washington. while
she heroically filled the post of her
husband, who was killed by her side
while serving piece of artillery. She
has also been frequently referred to as
Molly Pitcher. Other women who con-
tributed materially to the cause of
American independence by similar acts
OF bravery have been confounded with
the foregoing. One of these, known as
Capt Molly, lived near West Point for
many years after the Revolution, and
generally wore an artilleryman's coat
over her frock and a cooked hat.
A. K. p. Elmira, N. Y, asks: Who

Chicago Convention in 1904?
President Roosevelt was nominated
by the Hon. Frank S. Black, a former
Governor of the State of New York
Mr.. Roosevelt was chosen by acclama-

The Old Leather Breeches Battery.

A. T. Willyard. Sheridan, Mich, says
that he drove the wheel team on No. 6

terry, and he has, he thinks, some
chance of knowing what happened at
Charlottesville. Their battery was the
first one struck, their horses We're shot
and they lost one gun. With one gun
they covered the retreat down the Plank
road, and Dilger rode at its side. maxi
ing us walk our horses, firing the gun
by detached prolong. This held the
enemy in check for some distance. Old
Leather Breeches was as brave an Off
Ger as there was in the army, and he
knew how to command a battery. He
never took a position but what he held
it. He had confidence in his men and
his men in him. Comrade Goddard is
mistaken if he thinks he has the only
picture of Capt. Dilger, as Comrade
Willyard has one which he prizes high

This Oil-Gas and Air Generator does
any kind of cooking that coal or gas
laundry. summer cottage, washing, IRON
ing, canning, picnics, camping, and by
placing an oven over the burner splendid
baking or roasting can be done.
Combination Cooking & Heating Stove
Another important feature is the in
vention of small Radiator which placed
over the burner makes a desirable heat
ing stove for cold weather, so that it IS
adapted for any time of the year and
many people do away with the ordinary
stoves entirely by using this stove with
radiator for both heating and cooking.

The Whitefsh postmaster states
that the money order receipts have
been surprisingly small at the post
office during the past week, and but
very little money has been sent out OF
the town to eastern mail order houses
There is only one reason to be given
for this. The sales which have been
given by Whitefish merchants have
caused the catalogue buyers to do their
buying at home. The secret of how
to reclaim the mail order trade and
keep the money at home has evidently
been solved.
