This peculiar arrangement of flues in the Splendid Low Oven Stove obviates all difficulty as uoually exp with this style of stove when attempting to bake and boil at the same time. The dampers are so arranged that a di rect draft over the ovens and directly under the cooking utensils is at all times maintained, By closing the direct draft damper the current of heat isjreverted from the smoke pipe, but still passes under the boiler holes before it enters the downward flue in front of the oven, thence it passes directly under the oven when used for baking, and up the back sheet flue to the smoke pipe. When the oven is not in use the current of heat may be diverted into the base flues of the stove, assuming the same course as in the stove without the oven attachment, until it again reaches the bottom flue of the oven when it passes under and up the back of the oven into the smoke exit pipe.

I am a Baptist Minister and long before I even thought of being a clergyman I graduated in medicine, but left a lucrative practice lor my present profession 40 years ago. 1 was lor many years a sufferer from quinsy; "Thomas Ecleciric Oil cured me” I was also'tronbled with hoarse ness- and Thomas Eelec ric Oil always relieved me. My wife and child had diphtheria, and Thomas Eclectric Oil cured them” and if taken in time will cure seven times out of ten. I am confident it is a cure for the most obstinate cold or cough, and if any one will take a small tea spoon and half till it with the Oil, and then place the end of the spoon in one nostril and draw the Oil out of the spoon into the head by sniffing as hard as they can until the Oil falls over into the throat, and practice that twice a week, I dopt care how offensive their heads may be it will clean it out and cure their catarrh. For deaf ness and earache it has done wonders to my cer tain knowledge. It is the only medicine dubbed patent medicine that I have ever felt like recom mending, and I am very anxious to see it in every place, for 1 fell that I would not be with out it in my house for any consideration. I am now suffering with a pain like rheumatism in my right limb, and nothing relieves me like Thomas’ Eclectric Oil. Dr. E. F. CRANE; Corry, Pa. Otto J. Doesburg, proprietor ITotland City News, Mich,, writes: “A bad cold settled on my side and back, kidney trouble, liver and rheumatism combined; I suffered terribly, though was oblig to move about and attend to business: I tried local doctors, but received no relief, and, as a forlorn hope, tried your Thomas’ Eclectic Oil, have only used half a fifty-cent bottle, and feel as well as I ever did in my life.” E. Balch, Elgin, HI., writes; “That after try ing dozens of patent linaments, without relief, for rheumatic and stiff knee, I feel I have ‘struck oil at last,’ for after using three bottles of Thomas’ Eclectric Oil, I am prepared to is the best application I have ever used.” A letter from P. O. druggist, Marion, Ohio, in writing of Thomas’ Eclectric Oil, says; “One man was cured ofsoie throat of eight years standing with one bottle.” We have a number of cases of rheumatism that have been cured when other remedies have failed.

He tells them emphatically that he will make no removals dining a man’s term of office, except there is good cause for such removal, and fill vacancies by promotion wherever the good of the civil service will warrant it. * Mac Yeagh has been held up as the true type of a reformer, as President Arthur has of the other class.
