WASTEFTL STOVES.

An engineer who has been studying kit
chen ranges for the government reports
that the ordinary coal range is only u
to per cent efficient. That is. only that
percentage of its fuel energy is available
for cooking purposes.
\ good deal of the fuel is wasted
through imperfect combustion, going up
the chimney in the form of unburnt
gases \ great deal of actual heat like
wise goes up the chimney unnecessarily
Still more, perhaps, is spread through the
house. That is all right in cold weather,
when the range is useful for heating
purposes, but ask any housewife how she
likes it in the summer time.
One important reason for waste is
that generally far too much air is al
lowed to go through the stove. That
burns up the coal five times as fast as is
necessary for the cooking. The stove
should be tight and the draft carefully
regulated.
The same considerations naturally ap,
ply to the stove that burns wood. The
gas stove offers additional problems. 1t
does not involve so large a percentage
Of waste, but there is still woeful lack
of economy in the average kitchen as
every gas expert tcstifics, as result of
imperfect mixing of the gas and air and
failure to utilize the flame properly.
With all these kinds of stoves there
is also huge loss of heat from using the
wrong kind of cooking utensils, or fail
ing to adapt them to the flame. Most
cooks, it has been observed, use a far
larger flame than is necessary for small
pots or pans, letting nearly all the heat
escape into the air instead of passing in
to the food The makers of cooking uten-
sils are much to blame, too, for not Civ
ing them a shape calculated to absorb
and conserve the heat.
The best thing about electric stoves
is that they are especially designed to
avoid such waste What heat they pro-
duce costs a great deal more than coal
or gas heat, but they make up for it by
applying nearly all of the heat to the
actual purpose of cooking food.

DR.. HARRICAN'S
ADVICE TO THIN,
NERVOUS PEOPLE

It's worth your while to read what a
New York specialist has to say about the
nerve and brain cell builder that the Brat
tlebor0 Drug Co and other leading drug
gists sell so much of these days. lie
writes
LET those who are weak, thin. nervous,
anaemic or rundown, take natural un-
adulterated substances such as Bitro-
Phosphate and you will soon see some AS
tonishing results in the increase of nerve
energy and strength of body and mind
Bitro-Phosphate is pure organic phos-
phate such as good physicians prescribe
to increase weight and create abundant
nerve force.
CAUTION: Although Bitro- Phosphate is an
excellent aid in relieving weak, nervous condi-
tons its use Is not advised unless increased
weight is desired.-Adv.

Two raids by Sheriff Perry B. Gardner
and his deputies late yesterday afternoon
broke up extensive moOnshine operations.
The sheriff and Deputy Brazell suddenly
descended upon a lumber camp about five
miles east of Bennington. They found 3
barrels of fermented corn mash. At about
the same time two deputies raided the
house of Morris Peterson where they
found a still and about two gallons of
liquor. The officers are convinced that
the camp and the still were operated in
conjunction, the mash being fermented in
the mountains before being brought to the
village to be distilled. There were two
men other than Peterson in the house at
the time of the raid and one of them de-
tached the worm" and escaped before he
, could be arrested. A 14-year-old boy
seized a jug of liquor and dropped it in
nearby brook, but the jug did not break
and with two quart bottles was carried
away by the officers.

Hartford Club Angling For
 Chet Thomas

A despatch from Cleveland today states that "Chet'' Thomas, who acted as head coach for the Cleveland champions last season, and rated. S one of the classiest catchers in the majors when he was in action, is considering an offer from Jim Clark in, owner of the Hartford club to manage the Senators for the remaind- CT of the season. Thomas was un- conditionally released by the Indians last week.
 Thomas saw service with the Red SoX for six years, joining them in 1912, after catching for Oakland and Sacramento. In 1916 he figured in swap in which Walter Schang and Joe Bush went to Boston from the Athletics in exchange for s60,00O, Thomas, Gregg and Kopp. Thomas baked on going to the Athletics, and a deal was later affected which sent him to Cleveland
