next year, and 1t is now time for Grand
Army Posts, W0mans Relief Corps and
all other patriotic organizations and so-
cieties, which may have been formed
having similar ends in view. to begin
preparations for the purpose of fifty cele-
brating that important event.
Osborn H. Oldroyd, whose residence In
now in the same house in which Lincoln
died at Washington. D. c., has prepared
an appropriate service to commemorate
that occasion.
The program. containing some 20 mum.

four articles covering the different
phases of Lincolns life 1t is a 2O-page
Illustrated pamphlet. printed on good

Of this edition. or compilation, has been
placed at 10 cents per copy, 81 per dose1

mere can exist a single Post or Corps

dispose of at least 100 copies of this pro-

When the Roosevelts first came to

of unusual brightness. Jack sickened
and died. and a grave was made for
him out under one of the trees in the

During the military manuvers of the
coming Summer exhaustive tests will
be made of the new haversack ration,

Because air Is the only free fuel and no
trust in control inventors have tried for
years to find a way by which properties
could be drawn from the atmosphere and
used as fuel for general household pur-
poses, thus producing the cheapest fuel
obtainable.
To Cincinnati genius heretofore un-
known to fame must go the credit of
solving this great question. Understand.
you cannot burn air absolutely alone, but
this new air generator actually takes it's
fuel almost entirely from the atmosphere,
so much as to take in 395 barrels of air
while consuming one gallon of oil.
The time has come at last when our
readers are no longer compelled to con-
tinually drudge in hot fiery kitchens with
coal and wood fires so ruinous to health
and looks, for every family who desires
can cook, bake and heat with oil and air
gas, the wonderful new fuel which fire.
Quent1y saves from one-third to one-half
on fuel bills. What a blessing this is to
women folks who for the first time in
their lives can say, no more coal or wood.
nor deadly gasoline to burn and kill, 1 Dr.

President Taft and Mrs. Taft have

at -the-Sea, Mass. They
are to occupy the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Walter J. Mitchell. the Glendyne. Mr..
and Mrs. Mitchell are going abroad for
the Summer, and orders have already
been given to put their home in shape
Tor the Tafts. The cottage is palatial,
and stands on cliff on Magnolia ave-
nue., overlooking the ocean. Mrs Mitch
ell and Mrs. Taft were schoolgirl
chums and the intimate relationship
has continued thru all these years. The
GIendyne is one of the most desirable
cottages on the north shore coast. The
Tafts have for many years spent a por-
ton of the Summer in Canada, but the
President felt that that would scarcely
be the proper thing to do while he is

Many legislative records have been
broken during the week of tariff de-
bate. The proceedings OF the House of
Representatives for the week occupied
more than 600 columns of the Con-

600 words. 1t is TIE first time that a

Another record broken was that re-

the members of the House have per-
formed during the last week. While
the Dingley, Wilson and Mills bills were
under consideration the House held
daily sessions of nine and one-half
hours. During the week the sessions
have nominally been 101s hours in
length, but every evening the hands of
the House clock have been turned back
and the sessions have averaged IL hours
every day.

School, Middletown, n. Y, called on the
