What AboutA Cook-Stove.

Now that summer time and ''dOg-
days" are just ahead, everybody who
"summers at home, is considering how
to simplify things and get the most COM
fort 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 forget the
one most important item in the whole
hot-weather scheme-scme means of do
ing the family cooking without the in
sufferable heat of a coal fire in the
kitchen.
Everyone with experience knows how
tiresome it is to stay in stuffy room to
prepare meal. let alone the doing of a
big baking. But everyone doesn't know
how very easy it is to change hot kitch-
en- to a cool one, and do better cooking
at the same time. Just add to your list
of summer conveniences a New Perfec-
ton Wick Blue Flame Oil Cook-Stove
and you've done all that any one can do
to lessen hot weather discomfort.
Wouldn't it be fine of a summer morn
ng to step in the kitchen, put on the ket-
tie, broil the steak. bake the Mullins ill
ter the coffee give the breakfast call in
one fourth the time you'd take to do it
all on coal stove?
And wouldn't it be fine to be as cool
when the breakfast was prepared as
when you first entered the kitchen?
People who have tried it say that the
New Perfection Oil Stove actually does
verything 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 coal or
wood stove.
1t is easy to see that this lessons very
much the matter of personal discomfort
in summer housekeeping.
So don't forget the New Perfection on
Stove in your summer plans and you will
have comfortable kitchen and the best
cook-stove in the world.

How Save Monex.

Milford R. Burt, the popular druggist,
is selling DIR. Towards celebrated specific
for the cure of dyspepsia and constipa-
ton, In addition to selling a fifty cent
bottle, containing a months treatment of
sixty doses, for 25 cents, he gives his per-
sonal guarantee with every bottle he sells
to refund the money if it does not give
satisfaction.
This unusual offer has brought hun
dreds of customers to his store in the last
few weeks, yet out of the many bottles
of Or. Towards specific he has sold, but
one customer has asked to have the mon
ev returned. This was done without any
questions, although milford h. Burt does
not think the remedy could have been
given fair trial.
Doctors bills can be saved by the use
of DIR. Howard's specific for the cure of
dyspepsia and constipation, and by tax
ing advantage of this special half price
Introductory offer, our readers can save
half the regular price of the specific.

Temperance Question and Rural

At recent meeting of the Michigan

of the Order to present the matter to
the constitutional convention. Then
should the attempt to secure a prohib-

prohibition in all towns of 800 inhabit-

liquor selling near an institution of
learning. and more stringent laws on
the sale of liquor in drug stores were
demanded This temperance question
is one which the grange should handle
carefully. but should not be afraid of.
The grange is strictly a temperance or
ganization. although no pledge of tenn
perance is required, and yet temper
ance may be so involved with political
questions as to greatly affect the in

ties; hence we say wisdom is neces

er resolutions adopted were as fol
lows:
Resolved, That we favor a plan by
which the boys shall be interested IN the
experimental growing of grains and Vege
tables and the girls in some branch Of
domestic science. the work to be under
the general supervision of the county
commissioner of schools and the results
to be exhibited in competition for prizes
at the regular two day farmers insti-
tutes, where a section shall be set aside
for the boys with their fathers and the
girls with their mothers. In asking its
adoption the committee further recon-
mended that each school make individual

seasons.
Resolved. That the Legislative committee

Famous Morgan StallionIeoes to
Kentucky.

Mr.. E. A. Darling, proprietor of the
Fifth Avenue Hotel, New York, also of
the great breeding establishment, "Moun-
tain View Farm at East Burke, VT, has
sold the well known show stallion, REX"
to gentleman in Kentucky for $4,000
He will be placed at the head of one of
the great breeding farms of that state
Rex was bred by E. c. Ryder of New
Haven, who sold him TO Mr.. Darling last
year. He was sired by Denning Allen, a
son of Honest Allen by Ethan Allen.
His dam was that grand old show mare,
Roxy, who was by Daniel Lambert, a son
of Ethan Allen, by Vermont Black Hawk
We have always held that sooner or
later the great breeders of the world
would begin to appreciate our beautiful
Morgan horses. Let us see to it that we
keep them up to that high standard of
excellence which they so richly deserve.

DON'T BELIEVE I'LL JOIN"
Grange Financial Benefits of Second
airy Consideration.

airy Consideration.
81 don't believe I'll join the grange"
said gentleman to the writer awhile
ago. 81 don't see as | can get much
out of it," That identical statement
has been made hundreds and hundreds
of times, and SO long as human nature
remains as selfish as it is in some men
like sentiments will be expressed
When will people ever learn that the
grange isn't organized for q member
to see how much he can get out of ii"
but, rather, to see how much it can
get out of him, how much it can edu-
cate him, taking the word educate" in
its primary significance of ito draw
out" how much it can make him help
full in any of hundred ways to his
fellow man? We sometimes doubt the
ACCESSIBILITY of Offering any further
financial benefits to members of the
Order-such as grange life insurance,
for instance. Fire insurance members
who are members for insurance only
are, as rule, of very little use in the
grange. Many of them never attend
the meetings. What would 1t be if we
had grange life insurance? Doubtless
1t would increase grange membership
very greatly, providing the system was
a safe and profitable one, but would
the increase be of any real help to the
Order? Might not an undesirable mem
bership creep in through the door OF
this special inducement and add moth
ing to the real working force of the
grange? Let there be reasonable finan-
cial benefits attached to grange mem
bership, but let these never be given
first place in our thought, much less in
our arguments with a nonmember to
secure his application. And the deputy
organizer who makes financial induce
ments prominent when attempting to
organize a grange should have his ap-
pointment annulled.

One came from another world. He

Nature and her beauties. He went to

their lot and signing for the town.
He watched "sportsmen," who rent the
magnificent silences with the harsh
crack Of rifles. and destroyed wanton-

he met a philosopher.
