SUCH STOVE SOLD IN sToREs-uNLlkE ANYTHING YOU'VE

Because air is the only free fuel and no
trust in control inventors have tried for
years to find 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 its
fuel almost entirely from the atmosphere
so much as to take in ass 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.
Quently saves from one-third to ne-half
on fuel bills What q 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, br

Why Not Be Fair2

Editor National Tribune: I see by
The National Tribune that New York
State is talking of pensioning their old
soldiers of the civil war, but are going
to exclude those living outside the State.
I protest that is unfair. We helped
the State when it needed us, and we
should not be cut off because we have
been able to get our living somewhere
else. Other States are talking of PEN
sioning their old veterans, and IL they
all make laws similar to that at least
one-half the old comrades would be
left out. If they want to do something
in gratitude, let them be fair.-Joseph

Lees Summit, Mo-, writes that there
lives there an old comrade, almost
sightless. unable to work and not able
to secure pension because his memory
has so failed that he can give no facts
of his service, not even his company
or regiment. All the information he
can give is that he lived somewhere,
and went into service with Lieut. AL
bert Beck, who was from the same
place. Unfortunately for the clarity of
this notice, Mr.. Lesher does not give
the name of the old comrade, which

for one moment that much of the law
