The Range That
Really Saves Fuel
MQmmwh
%yy5S3AA
~StaNS attsfaoaoy"haae,

Probably every one that ever looked at a range was told
by the salesman that it was a "fuel saver"
That's because they all realize that fuel economy is the most
attractive of all features about a range to a thoughtful person.
Ordinary least iron and steel ranges waste fuel, because
after a little use the bolts work loose, where the steel is boted
to the iron, and the stove putty dries up and falls out of the
seams.
Then it begins to take more fuel to keep a fire on account
OF the air leaks" through the once tight joints, which open up
wider year by year till the range soon consumes twice as much
fuel as it did when new.
Good, Sound Reasons for MONARCH
Economy.
Monarch Ranges are built so that they can never have
"ar leaks"
For around every opening into the body there is a Maue-
able Iron frame to which the steel is riveted.
If these other ranges were built in this way they might be

BOMBARDIER WELLS HERE.
English Heavyweight May Clash
With AL Palzer Before Garden A. c.

NEW YORK, May l8.-Bombardier
Wells, the English heavyweight cham
piou, arrived in New York yesterday
on the Mauretania for the sole purpose
as he expressed it. Of getting bout
with AL Palzer. Wells was accompanied
by his manager. Jim Maloney, and ex-
poets to remain in this city until ar
rangements for bout with Paizer are
definitely settled.
Wells, who is making his first visit
to America. looks like a runner rather
than a fighter. He is of the tall and
rangy type. and weighs 1876 pounds. He
has blond hair and blue eyes and does
not carry a mark of any of his ring
battles. Wells stands feet ~ inches
and has the appearance of an ideal ath-
lete. He was prominently identified with
track athletics before he took up profess
sional boxing, and is credited with hav-
ing done 100 yards In less than eleven
seconds.
Wells said yesterday that he hopes to
defeat Palzer, and all the other white
heavyweights, and then engage in bout
with Jack Johnson. Such bout was
arranged several months ago, but the
promoters were forced to call IT of
under q storm Of popular protest.
No decision has been reached as to
where the Wells-Palzer bout will be
staged. Eddy Graney, the San Francisco
promoter. has made an offer for the
match, but 1T has not been accepted. The
Garden Athletic Club of this city is also
