in a large variety Of shapes and styles,
and may be put 70 as many uses as the

vantage that the field Of operations IS
not limited TO the length OF tube.
The cost OF maintaining the little heat
ers Is ingenuously asserted by one demon
stratOr TO be less than gas at a dollar
q thousand and a little more than gas at
SO cents" The cost is about cents or
less per hour for each burner. but the
heat OF the alcohol gas fame Is so in
tense that much more can be accom-
plished in a given time than by means OF
any other practicable household heat
Speaking Of her experience with one OF
the stoves a few days ago, a young mar
ried woman said. The alcohol is so clean
and nice TO handle. You can spin il on
the carpet or on your dress. and il does
no harm: If you get It on your hands
the alcohol leaves them feeling cool and
