OIL AND WATER ATTACHMENT
For Cooking, Baking and Heating
Purposes Attracts Attention.

Anything which is claimed to save
money, time and labor attracts the
attention of most people. Such is
the case with a new attachment for
stoves, which a local firm is demon
strating. 1t is kerosene-water COM
bination, the use of which is claimed
to do entirely away with the labori-
Gus duty devolving upon the man of
the house in carrying wood, shovel
ing coal and carting away the ashes
to the ashpile in the backyard. In
addition it is also said to save dol
lars in the enormous fuel bills which
the home provider is called upon to
pay during the cold weather season
of the year. The combination is not
an intricate affair; in fact. it is very
simple in it's mechanism and also in
the principle carried out in it's work.
ings. 1t is a case of kerosene being
heated to vapor, then the water
is transformed into steam by the
heat and the steam and vapor pro-
duce gas, and the gas does the bust
ness. The attachment has been on
the market only few months. Oil
and water tanks, to which are at
tached pipes leading to the stove or
range, are fastened to the stove.
These pipes connect with chambers
which are affixed to the stove lids in
such a manner as to curve around
and down to a point facing a cup,
attached beneath the stove lid, IN
the center of which is a small aper-
ture through which the oil-water
combination gets busy. The oil is
first turned into the pipe and runs
to and through the chambers
and drops into the small cup below.
When this cup is full, a small piece
of paper is put into it and lighted
match applied This is allowed to
burn until such time as the heat
! turns the oil into vapor, then the
water pipe and chamber are opened
and the water, coming in contact
with the heat, is transformed into
steam, which, uniting with the va
por, produces the gas and it is the
gas that does the work. 1t requires
about four or five minutes to get the
stove started in good shape. 1t
heats the stove all over, no matter
whether it is small affair or NAM
moth range, and by regulation of
the drafts, which is done in the same
manner as with the ordinary stove
baking may be done, or the water
heated in the reservoir at the rear
The flame produced is odorless and
gallon of oil, with from one-third
10 one-half that amount of water, is
claimed to operate the combination
for from FIVE to seven hours, from
which statement it will be readily
seen that the expense would be small.
1t looks good and every man who
despises the work of handling coal,
wood and ashes should investigate
t.-Independence Bulletin-Journal.

Somebody Might Take 1t.

Tom bought gallon of gin to
take home, and, by way of label,
wrote his name upon a card which
happened to be the seven of clubs
and tied it to the handle. A friend
coming along and observing the jug,
quietly remarked, That's an awful
careless way to leave that liquor. T"
"Why?' said Tom, Because some
body might come along with the
eight of clubs and take it,"

DO Something.

Some "roosters' who are around
in shirt sleeves are not working as
hard as appearances would indicate
nor producing results of sufficient
import to permit them to pay legiti-
mate bills. 1t would be better to get
hold of a pick and shovel and do
something" With nothing but
prospects" the bills accumulate
and the man who doesn't pay his
bills is popular nowhere.-Manson

ENGLAND WILL
ENLARGE NAVY
ESTIMATES FOR YEAR SHOW
S15,OOO,OOO INCREASE
Four New Dreadnaughts and Same
Number of Similar Type, with
Airships, Provided for
In Budget
tBy Associated Press.l

LONDON, March 1.-THE British
naval estimates, which were issued to-
night and show an increase of close to
$15, 200, 900 over the estimate of last
year, possibly will fail to please the
big men of the navv. but they fully
prove that it is the governments de-
terminal ton to keep pace with the 9TH
er naval powers, and that no halt is
likely to be called in the international
competition for superior naval arma-
ments.
In addition to four new Dreadnaughts,
the government seeks the power to
start building, if necessary, in 1910 four
additional large armored vessels.
The types of these ships is not indi-
Gated in the estimate, though it is gen.
orally understood to be two battleships
of the Dreadnaught type and two arm
ored cruisers. There is little doubt.
however, that this will depend on the
progress made in Germany'S battle
ship construction
The statement of Reginald McKenna,
first lord of the admiralty, naturally
makes no reference to foreign powers.
and further light on the government s
intention must be awaited until the
estimates are discussed in parliament.
An interesting point is that the admf-
rally is considering the use of dirigible
airships for naval purposes, and 1t is
decided to carry out experiments to this
end
Under Mr. McKenna's program Great
Britain should have by the end of 1911,
fourteen vessels of the Dreadnaught
type, against thirteen to be completed
by Germany.
Mr.. McKenna says two of the new
Dreadnaughts will be commenced in
July, and the other two in November
1909. He also announces the coming
absorption of the channel fleet into the
home feet, as announced in these dis
patches, which will place twenty-five
fully manned battleships and fourteen
fully manned armored cruisers in the
home waters.

which disappeared the night of the

gary after the loss of the jewels. fell
again today on learning that the ex-

package.
Later. however, BONNER admitted he
had sent a present to his mother by
registered mail, and to intercept this

anything more than a small memento,
but the detectives are firmly convinced
that they are following the right clew
