What About a Cook Stove

Now that summer time and "dog.
days. are just ahead, everybody who
summers at home, is considering
how to simplify things an get the
most comfort out of an uncomfortable
situation.
We interview the ice-man; order
thin clothes, plan to ease up here and
relax there; but more than likely for
get the most important item in the
whole hot-westher scheme - some
means of doing the family cooking
without the insufferable heat of a coal
fire in the kitchen.
Everyone with experience knows
how tireosme it is to stay in a stuffv
room to prepare meal, let alone the
doing of big baking. But everv-
one doesn't know how very easy it
is to change hot kitchen to a cool
one, and do better cooking at the
same time. Just add to your list of
summer convenience a New Perfection
Wick Blue Flame Oil Cook-Stove and
you've done all that any one can do
to lesson hot weather discomfort.
Wouldn't it be fine of a summer
morning to step in the kitchen, put
on the Kettle, broil the steak, bake the
muffin, filter the coffee and give the
breakfast call in one forth the time
you'd take to do it all on a coal
stove?
And wouldn't it be fine to be as
cool when the breakfast was pre-
pared as when you first entered the
kitchen?
People who have tried it say that
the New Perfection Oil Stove actu-
ally does everything in the line of
cooking and domestic service without
overheating the room or the worker.
Undoubtedly the reason is to be
found in the blue flame principle on
which the stove works.
A cylindrical chimney concentrates
the heat at the stove top and in this
way prevents surface radiation as in
a coal or wood stove.
1t is easy to see that this lessons
very much the matter of personal dis
comfort in summer housekeeping.
So don't forget the New Perfection
Oil Stvoe in your summer plans and
you will have comfortable kitchen
and the best cook-stove in the world.

WHITE STEAMER WINS HONOR
Against Field of II Cars. Many Drivers
Take part in Fort George Contest

Against Field of n Cars. Many Drivers
Take part in Fort George Contest
More than 10, 900 spectators saw
Walter White win first honors in the
hill climbing events of the carnival
week celebration on the Fort George
Hill, and so well was the affair man
aged by the officials and the police,
that Il cars were sent up the grade
inside of an hour and three quarters
without the slightest accident. The
distance of the climb was 1900 feet
and the grade is said to average about
II per cent. 1t was very windy both
at the bottom and top of the hill.
The special prizes offered for the car
making the best time of the afternoon
was awarded to Walter C. White of
Cleveland Automobile Club who had
won the free-for-all with a thirty
horse power White Steamer in 80 Is
seconds. This contest was with stand
ing start. Previous contests on Fort
George Hill have been made with fly
ig start.
Every mOtOrist, present or pros
pective, will be interested in the
results of the Quaker City Endurance
run. This run on January 1st, from
Philadelphia to Allentown and return,
a distance of 18O miles over frozen
roads and deep ruts, was won by the
White, - in fact won twice, as in
the first contest, the technical
committee awarded the White the
one perfect score. After the run it
was found that the Peerless had a
loose transmission, and they protested
this, saying that all Peerless cars
were made this way. The Studebaker
had a broken shock absorber, (which
was an accessory, " but which preven-
ted a broken spring on this car.
Both of these companies protests
were sustained by the contest COM
mittee, who ordered "run-off''
between them and the White. This
was agreed to by the White, if they
would make the trip to Allentown and
return in one day. Everything being
arraged, the supplementary run was
held January 4th, and was emphati-
cally won by the White.
Since the data of this second run
was of such a convincing nature, it
was impossible to declare tie, or do
anything but decide in favor of the
White as winner of the magnificent
MacDonald-Campbell trophy.
With our one entry, we decisively
defeated twenty seven gasolene cars,
representing twenty three of the lead
ing makes, thereby winning another
important victory for the white .
