Dear Sir:

roasted while, the one farthest

could we learn well and be con-
tented and happy under ouch con-
Gitions?
The Round Oak Folks have pro-
duced a system Of supplying pure.
moist, warm, healthful air, also q
system for removing the impure
cold air that lies on the floor.
We claim the entire system to he
tho most efficient, economical,
durable, and simplest Of any APP
paratus for schoolroom heating ana
ventilating produced.
The Round Oak Room Heater Is
unquestionably the heaviest best
made, and strongest heater OF It's
kind. Its reputation for high-grade
quality is worldwide, and 1t 10
much superior to the ordinary con-
struction, as your investigation VIII
prove.
In no sense is the purchase or
this System an experiment. Its a
dividend-paying investment in the

CHICAGO STATION
Something About the New $05 900,
900 Union Station There.

Chicago, March 26.-Thousands OF
unemployed men were put to work
today on Chicago's mammoth new
union station, a SCI, 600 project
which will be completed December
Is, 1918, according to plans. The
new plant will house the Pennsyl-
vania lines, the Chicago. Milwaukee
& st. Paul, the Chicago. Burlington
& Quincy and the Chicago & Alton.
1t does not mean a consolidation of
any of the Chicago Canal street ter
minals, simply the replacing the
structure at Adams and Canal streets
with a great plant.
The erection of the station en-
braces several difficult engineering
feats. chief among which is the
Strengthening OF the Chicago river
for several blocks. The new station
is going up to the south OF the pres
ent one, occupying the blocks be-
tween Adams and Jackson streets
and Clinton and Canal streets. a
space two blocks east and west and
one block north and south. Besides
three freight terminals the plans call
for twenty-six tracks in the passenger
terminal, twenty more than the pres
emit terminal has. The Northwestern
terminal here, regarded as one OF the
most modern in the world, has only
sixteen, the Pennsylvania In New
York only seventeen. The union
station in Washington has thirty
