Monarch Malleable Rams

THE MONARCH is the
best range for summer
use as it lightens your
work. 1t consumes much
less fuel than other stoves
or ranges. There is less
coal to carry-less wood
to split-fewer ashes to
handle. The malleable
top of the Monarch heats
through quickly, doing
away with the necessity
of starting a fire long be-
fore you wish to use it.
This reduces the heat in
the kitchen.
The polished top of the
Monarch never needs

porter-the man who has charge of
the baggage. That chalk mark simply
will indicate to the next porter who
comes across that trunk that the man
who owns it is cheap, that he won't
come through with the tip. If he tips
the next fellow the mark will be
rubbed of. If he don't the mark will
be made little longer. Very few
travelling men fail to come through
with liberal tip, but occasionally We
find one with a marble heart and we
don't forget him. Mind you we don't
neglect the baggage of the man who
don't tip, but we just forget to do a
lot Of little things that We might
throw in extra.
And by the way, did you notice
that trunk? Looks as If 1t might con-

Why Chief Moore Did Not Preside

III EATHER Chief Willis L. Moore

ago, forbidding messengers and other
youngsters in the service to smoke
cigarettes. It had been noted that
boys who forgot to leave weather

were nearly all cigarette smokers;
hence the order.
The newspaper paragraphers and
testers heard about the anti-cigarette
order and promptly made merry over
it. Whenever weather prediction
went wrong they suggested that Moore
ano his men smoke up-and so on.
From this advertising of the anti-cigar-
ette order, many got the impression
that Moore wouldn't stand for smok-
ing. An antt-tobacco socoety with

ed to hold a big conclave in Washing

out a program for the suppression Of
tobacco in every land and every cline.

effect Of the plan in the United States
is the result Of a long investigation OF
the English system made by the judge
advocate general Of the army. The
English system aas been in effect sew
eral years and has resulted In =
marked benefit to the army.
The first movement toward the adop-
tion OF the system in the United States
army was the recent order for The
transfer Of all military prisoners COR
victed Of felonies under the civil stat
utes to Alcatraz Island. CAL, and Fort
Jay. N. T., for confinement, and pris-
oners convicted Of purely military Of
lenses or civil offenses amounting only
to a misdemeanor, to the Fort Leaven-
worth prison. Several things are yet
to be done before the British plan can
be adopted in it's entirety, but 1t Is
hoped by the military authorities that
congress at it's present session will
pass legislation to do away with pres
ent obstacles. Under the legislation
providing for the erection of the new
buildings of the military prison 1t Is
provided that the prisoners must do
practically all the work. 1t Is esti-
mated that, under the convict labor
system, two years will be required to
complete this. Other needed legislar
ton is: to change the name OF the
prison to United States detention bar
racks; placing the barracks under the
control of the army instead of the
soldiers home commission; modifying
provisions of existing laws respecting
the employment Of convicts: remov-
ing existing prohibition against re-
enlisting deserters; eliminating provt-
s1ons of the law taking away tho
rights of citizenship of soldiers who
desert in time of peace.
