what kind of backing should be used
for a gas range and in reply would say
backing of any kind should never be
used on a gas stove at any time This
is gas range weather. and few hints as
to the care of this useful article may
be timely. The different parts of gas

il only for the reason that 1t clogs the
burners, which in time interferes with
the flame.
The stove should be preferably warm
when cleaned. Wipe of the burners with
a rag, and IL they have burned red rub
again with an oily rag. This will make
them black. Very greasy parts OF the
stove should be washed in q strong So

Hornet and her family had given him

in a dreadful bad way. The worst of 1t
was none of the other little meadow and
forest people seemed to be in the least
sorry for him. Some OF them actually
laughed at him. Peter Rabbit was one OF
these. You know. Reddy Fox had made
life very uncomfortable for Peter for a
long time. and now Peter was actually
enjoying Reddy's discomfort.
Now while he was laid up this way
Reddy had plenty OF time to think. He
noticed that when he went out to walk
all those who when he was well KEEP,
at a safe distance now hardly got out
OF his way. They knew that he felt toe
sore and mean to try to catch them
Peter Rabbit hardly turned out of his

would continue to apear to feel badly
