Have You A PipeleSS7

Stoves, both wood and coal, have been
in use for many years; furnaces, steam,
hot air and hot water, have also been
used extensively for generations, but
perhaps none of these has made such a
hit and been in such demand as has been
the comparatively new pipeless hot air
furnaces.
Mr.. J. Claude Freeze introduced this
furnace here last spring and since that
time has installed considerable number.
From what we hear from those who used
this pipeless variety of furnace during
this winter to heat their houses, they eyi-

SuffS In Confusion.

Woman suffrage in Maryland is
Just now in a state of chaotic con-
fusion. 1t is too early yet to speak
for the immediate future, but enough
is known to warrant the prophecy
that in the suffrage ranks things will
no longer be as they have been.
The trouble has all arisen over the
action taken at the suffrage conven-
ton held at the Equal Suffrage
League headquarters March 3rd and
the day before for the purpose of
forming a new league, that Of the
National American Woman Suffrage
Association. This last-named asso.
citation has in its ranks SO per cent
of the eutire number Of women suf-
fragists in this country and believes
in the appeal to the reason and to
the affections of the intellectual men,
bers Of the male species to grant their
wishes rather than in the methods
adopted by the militant suffragists
who picket the White House and are
reckless in their use of the big stick"
Anyway, the new league is now a
reality and has invited the other two
bodies in Maryland to lose their ident-
ity and merge with them in one au-
thorized state branch of the national
body. Already the Equal Suffrage
League has merged with the newly
formed organization.

Mr.. D. r. Rouzer,
Thurmont, Md,
Dear Mr.. Rouzer: Since you have TAX
en- up the study of fowls it is therefore
proper and fitting that you should take
one more step toward the goal, PERFEC-
TION.
This lesson is one of the most interes-
ting of the whole course and we rest as
sured that you will thoroughly enjoy the
same. The title of this lesson is called
THE MOST EFFICIENT WAY OF
DESTROYING THAT ALL POWER
Full PARASITE, THE CHICKEN
LOUISE" We herein enclose two small
blocks. The student will take the fowl.
gently pluck the feathers therefrom,
grasp the louise by its hind legs and gent
ly place it on block No. /. He will then
take block No. 2 and with powerful
and we'll directed blow bring it down on
the struggling creature, holding same in
such position at least ten minutes, and
after being assured of the creatures
death he will then release block No. 2.
bury the remains and renew the battle,
not stopping until the fowl is entirely
free.
After being absolutely assured of the
non presence of these all destroying para
sites, a heavy egg production can natur-
ally be expected. To materially aid in
heavy egg production the best method is
to catch the fowl, not including the roost-
ers, open the mouth and gently, but
firmly, push down the throat a whole egg.
After several Of these operations It Is
most natural to expect the hen to lay
her first egg. This experiment has been
tried by several of our most successful
poultry men and has their full endorse
ment.
