us it more expensive to keep a Gas
Range in repair than Coal RanGe2"
No. The wearing parts Of a gas range are
the oven Innings, which, if kept clean and
frequently wiped with CREASED cloth, it will
last for years. Should the Innings become worn
out. they can be replaced at small expense.
The wearing parts of coal range are the
crate and the friedrich Innings, which, even
with the best of care, require frequent re-
newals.

why is it so important to heat Gas
RANGE Oven before putting in anything
to cOok?"
It is not more important to heat the Gas
Range oven before using than it is to heat the
coal oven. The oven should be hot so tnat
cooking will begin at once. Ten minutes Is
good average allowance for gas range. This
method involves no waste of gas, because II the
article be put in a cold oven the cooking will
take so much longer, and the results will not
be as good. For example-if steak is placed
in the oven before it is properly heated, y
will become tough, poorly favored ana VIII
not brown.

How Can Make Toast On the
Gas Range ?"
Use the VULCAN ToAsTER designed for use
over Top Burner. Itismade with inner cone
or Heater distributor. Toasting is done by
radiation and not by direct heat.
Toasters for sale at office of the company
Price only 80 cents.
The weekly true Democrat., 1908-04-24
"How Can Keep My Gas Range in Good
Condition and Free From Rust ?

Once a day the burners, broiler pan, oven
burners should be washed, and the burners, as
well as the rest Of the range, wiped with
creased cloth, or small piece of suet wrapped
in cheese cloth. All of this work should be
done while the range is warm from use, so
that it will dry quickly and readily absorb the
the grease.
If the small holes in the burners become
clogged they should be cleaned out with
piece of wire. Never apply backing to the
burner
The weekly true Democrat., 1908-04-24

"can the Gas Water Heater be used
when there is a fire in the Coal Range"
Yes. This appliance heats the water in the
circulating boiler Independently Of either gas
range or coal range, and may be used, If nee
essary, to supplement the coal range.

"In Lighting the Top Burners of My Gas
Range, the Flame Sometimes Burns
Back in the Pipe, with Slight Report
and a Disaereeble OdOr. How Can
This be Prevented ?"
When you turn on the gas, allow an instant
for it to fill the burner before applying the
match. This will prevent the lighting back"
which you describe, and which is caused by
the gas igniting in the air mixer before it
reaches the burner.
If the difficulty continues when these direc-
tions are followed, notify the gas company, as
the burners may need adjusting No charge
for the inspectors visit.
The weekly true Democrat., 1908-04-24
How can Broil Steaks or Chops in
the oven of Gas Ranger

Use the BrOiling Oven.
Trim most of the fat or suet from the chops
or steak, place on rack in lower oven. Turn
the meat occasionally, but do not put fork in
the lean part.
Never put the meat in a cold pan. The
Juices will be drawn out as the pan heats and
the meat will be tough and poorly favored.
Season it after it is taken from the pan.
This method is called Oven BrOiling.
Be sure the oven is properly heated before
placing meat in it to cook, This insures the
fine juicy flavor so desirable.
The weekly true Democrat., 1908-04-24

Purchase Vulcan Gas RANGE,
And you will not have cause to regret it.
Food is easier digested when cooked on Gas
Range. No fires to hndle, no ashes to carry
out. You don't have to wait on the fire.
The weekly true Democrat., 1908-04-24
What Causes the Top Burner of My Gas
Range to Burn Yellow and Blacken
the Cooking Utensils ?"

The burners are either clogged or out of ad-
iustment. Try cleaning the small holes in the
burners with a piece of wire, removing the
dust or grease which may beObstructing them
If this does not remedy the trouble, notify the
gas company as the burner may need adjust
ment.-
This condition should not be allowed to con-
tinue, as a yellow flame not only blackens the
cooking utensals, but decreases the heating
value of the gas. Best results are obtained
from feathery blue flame.
The weekly true Democrat., 1908-04-24

"In Lighting the Oven of My Gas Range,
Should the Gas Be Turned On to the
Oven Burners Before Lighting the Pilot
Light ?"
No, the pilot light should be turned on and
lighted before gas is turned on to oven burners.
When you have satisfied yourself that the
oven burners are lighted, turn of the pilot light.
The oven door should always be kept open
while lighting oven burners, in order to pre-
vent the accumulation of gas in ovens before
match is applied.

A MANS TRIBUTE TO
THE McKENZIE BOYS

AS / drove into Canon City about
the 10th of last December I met the
eldest Mckenzie boy, near Fifteenth
street He was warmly dressed, but
still looked as though he were cold.
About two blocks further on l saw .
smaller boy coming down Main street
He was mounted on a fine looking
saddle animal moving in gentle lops.
The boy was the younger Mckenzie
youth, should say about 10 or II
yars old. He sat erect and rode with
as much grace as cavalry soldier.
He wore no coat nor overcoat and
seemed to be strictly about his faith
er's business. The wind was coming
down from Twin mountain at the rate
of aboat 40 miles an hour and the
thermometer hovered a little below
freezing The men about town were
sitting near a good fire or II on the
streets were wrapped in their warm
overcoats.
Az I was on my way home about
o'clock saw the Mckenzie boys driv-
ing a herd of cattle north. The 1T
tie fellow would dash from one side
to the other. bringing a yearling into
the herd. He seemed perfectly COM
Portable and strictly about his faith
er's business.
Since that time I have remembered
that inclement day and the Mckenzie
youth for his heroism. Some boys
can perhaps scream louder and run
faster, but how many other boys on
such day would or could have done

WILLIAM F. MCKEE DEAD
Pioneer Farmer and Civil War Veteran
Passes Away at His Home in Dover


William F. Mckee, one of the
pioneer farmers and one of the best
known residents of Kent county,
died at his home in Dover, We'd
nesday morning, August 10, 1908,
aged 81 years. He had been in poor
health for several months. The
funeral and interment was held at
Bethel M. E. Church Saturday
afternoon. William F. Mckee, son
of Andrew and Lydia (Scott) Mckee,
was born on the old homestead in
New Castle county, May 80, 1927.
He remained at home working with
his father and attending school at the
old academy in Brandywine village.
At the age of twenty he left home
and began farm work in Bucks
county, Pa. In 1847 he started
west, taking the railroad as far as
Chambersburg, Pa, then the
terminus of the road, and going
thence to Pittsburg by stage. After
spending some time in India and
Illinois and boating on the Ohio
river, he returned to Wilmington
in 1851, having gained nothing but
experience. Mr.. Mckee now turned
his attention to the cultivation of the
soil in New Castle county. During
the Civil War he served as a private
in the Seventh Delaware Volunteers,
and was honorably discharged at the
end of his term of service. In 1866
he purchased from Richard Grifiths
the TIA acre farm near Cheswold that
he so successfully titled until about
two years ago, when he retired and
moved to Dover. He was an
intelligent and scientific farmer and
the first man in Delaware to success
fully grow Keiffer pears. While
nearly every one condemned his fruit
and considered it worthless, he
continued to grow it and improve it's
quality until it became popular and
profitable. He was a christian
gentleman and an active member of
the M. E. Church. The deceased is
survived by wife and the following
children: William H. Mckee, Mrs.
Joseph Boyles, near Dover; Mrs.
Andrew J. Harper, of Milford.

LETTER TO s. 6. WILDS
Smyrna. Del.

Dear Sir: This happened seen
years ago. A man, having three little
poultry houses, bought one gallon of
each of two paints to paint them;
paid $1.60 for one and 81. Is for the
other, Is cents difference.
The $1.6O gallon painted one house,
the $1.75 gallon painted the other
two houses. The cost of the paint
was: first house 81. 60; second house
873c; third house 873c.
But painting goes with paint, and
it costs as much to paint one paint
as another, about So. so a gallon.
The painting of one of those
houses with SLIGO paint cost the
same as that of the other two with
81. Is paint; So so. Difference 81. rs
a house same way as the Is cents.
Four years ago, he painted that
first little house again, same paint
he wanted to know what the cost
of keeping a house well-painted
really is. The other two houses
didn't need painting.
Last year he painted all three
little houses, same paints as at first
and reckoned his cost to date of
beginning the job.
The first little house had cost SIS. 10
twice, or $1O.2 20, and was ready to
paint again; the second two houses
had cost $500, and were ready to
paint again.
That is: saving Is cents a gallon
made one house cost twice as much
as the other two houses, besides
the fus of an extra paint job il
three years.
The $1.75 paint was Devoe.
This tale is made-up of Thousand
experiences. Devoe is always the
paint that takes less gallons, cost!
less money, wears longer, less fuss
And the cost of Devoe is abou
one-fourth of the cost of a pain
that doubles the gallons.
