We, HEAT The HOUSE
NOT The CELLAR
ONLY ONE REGISTER

The Home Ventilator Furnace is
the only furnace which may be set
in the vegetable cellar and still re-
tain the cold storage which it is abb
solutely necessary to have, especi-
ally for the farmer, and, from an
economical standpoint, for anyone.
The Home Ventilator loses only
about one-tenth the heat in the cell
lar which is lost from other furna
ces. Stop and think of the amount
of heat which is lost or thrown off
in your cellar from a pipe furnace.
This heat all costs money-costs as
much as the heat which finds its
way through the network of pipes
to the rooms-and more, because it
spoils your canned fruit, vegetables,
apples, meats, ETC., etc.
Isn't that expensive? Ask any man
who uses a pipe furnace. He'll tell
you that his cellar is as cozy and
warm as any part OF MS mouse.
Just as an illustration
You have a pipe furnace installed.
Your furnace room is twenty feet
square. Your sitting room is also
twenty feet square. How much will
| it cost you to heat the room upstairs,
say fer one winter? About SO?
All right. Now, then, your room in
the cellar is just as warm, if not
warmer. 1t will cost just as much
to heat your cellar as your big sitting
room.
Come in and see this furnace, new
in construction and operation.

why YOU ARE NERVOUS

The nervous system is the alarm system
of the human body.
In perfect health we hardly realize that
we have network of nerves, but when
health is ebbing, when strength is declin-
ing, the same nervous system gives the
alarm in headaches, tiredness, dreamful
sleep, irritability and unless corrected,
leads straight to breakdown.
To correct nervousness, SCOTS Emul-
sion is exactly what you should take; its
rich nutriment gets into the blood and
rich blood feeds the tiny nerve-cells while
the whole system responds to its refresh
ing tonic force. 1t is free from alcohol.
