Warm Floors and Healthy
Children Make Happy Homes

There is no better way for you to avoid worry and expense
than by insuring your children's health.
Warm floors in the home, which is the children's play
house in winter. are assured when using Coles Original Hot
Blast Heater.
The steel base and body construction allows the heat to be
radiated to the floor keeping it warm during the coolest weather.

q big care to operate. That its smoke and ashes entail dust.
ing, curtain washing and carpet sweeping. Think then of the
ease of operation and the cleanliness of Coles Hot Blast.
Coles Hot Blast has a guaranteed smoke-proof feed door
open the feed door and the current of air draws the smoke
directly across the top of stove to the stove pipe-away from
! the opening. Contrast this simple, clearly feed with the side
door in an ordinary heater. The side door used on other
stoves permits escape of dirty smoke, unpleasant gas and
accumulated SCOT drops from it. If you overfil a side door
stove, coal falls to the floor. And note this, you cannot
make a side door heater artieht-an everlasting advantage
in favor of Coles Hot Blast which is air-tight and guaranteed
to remain so always.
No fires to buid-the fire is never out in this remarkable
heater from fal. until taken down in the spring.
Better select one today-surely it is the heater you need

HOUSE PROBE

Washington, Dec. 10.-Hearing upon
Representative O'Shaunessy's resolu-
tiun for a congressional investigation
OF an alleged New England traffic deal
tetw cen the New York, New Haven &
Hartford and Grand Trunk railroads
was begun today before the public
rules committee. O'Shaunessy opened
the hearing by making a prepared
statement. He said:
1T is time for complete investi-
cation, not only of the recent exhibi-
ton of ingrained vicious practice but
OF all transactions on the part of this
railroad company New Haven) which
has given to the people the monstros-
ity of a waterlogged corporation with
corresponding diminution of effective
public service.
THE primary purpose of my reso-
luton for the appointment of seven
members elected by the house is to
Investigate the causes which led to
the cessation of work in Rhode Island
and other New England states of rail
way construction on the Southern
New England Railway company
o Shaunessy declared the new road
started work amid general rejoicing
aid fond expectation that real rival
at last challenged the monopolistio
supp emacy of the New Haven road.
The diabolical hand Of monopoly
which brooks no interference, is re-
vealed in an abandoned project on
which s1,5OO,O0O had been spent, and
on which total expenditures of $4,000
4 OfG had been contracted by way OF
damages, condemnation suits for in
volved property and repairs. Striking
coincidence OF the changed attitude OF
the Grand Trunk officials is a recent
visit to London of J. Pierpont Morgan

WEAKNESS OF PRIMARY LAW
EVIDENT

If there was ever any doubt in the
minds of voters as to the Impractical
bility of the present primary law,
Tuesday IS Illustration should suffice to
show it's utter failure. 1t certainly
does not express the choice of the lif
ferent parties for candidates, as many
vote the same as they would at a gen
eral election, thereby losing their
vote. and the voters of no party stick
to their organization s ticket.
In Winnemucca precinct, Tuesday,
there were FL rejected ballots out of
a total of 160 cast, and while the
weather may have had something to
do with it, owing to the small num-
Der of Republican and Socialist votes
cast, it is probable that some of those
political faiths voted the Democratic
ticket.
From experiments with the primary
law, it would seem that it should be
amended to compel all candidates for
Office either to go before the primary
or else all go on the ticket by petition.
And it would probably be much better
were the primary to be held a month
later.
