Radiators ^IBoilers
In the countries of Europe where
every penny counts in the practice of
domestic economy, these heating outfits are finding enormous sale. If
Americans were not so wasteful, no inhabited building of any kind in this country would be
without an outfit of IDEAL Boilers and AMERICAN Radiators.
They save so much in fuel, need so little care, protect the family health, do away with repair
bills, give vastly longer life to the furnishings and decorations of the rooms because of absence of
ash-dust and coal-gases, will wear as long as the building stands, and finally enable one to sell
or rent his property quicker, at higher price?get your money back. One of the
big features of AMERICAN Radiators which makes them the pride of the
world's great construction engineers is their marvelous, yet simple, right- and
left-hand threaded nipple connections, making the
tightest joint known to radiator mechanics.
AMERICAN Radiators are always dependably tight and alike
in quality, whether placed on the 40th floor of the Metropolitan
Life Company's tower or to warm the tents of the tuberculosis
hospital patients on the alkali sands of Arizona.
AMERICAN Radiators arc not only the beat known but they are known as
the best?all over the world?for tightness, strength, full water-way openings,
safe shipments, ease in taking apart and tightly reassembling, and for many,
many years of perfect service.
Sum up at once your Heating expense and the recutls you arc cettlng therefrom. Don't put off action
until you build?cemfort roar prettnt homt at once?economize now by making the right Investment.

understood, be divided into throe
pBrts. to be read on different d,v;s In

afler the exoculivn has been notified
by a joint committee tlint the l..-;^i.s
lature la organized and Is reitJ.v to
receive any communication ho may
desire to make.
The presumption is that, as usual
this message, will treat In .1 gener<*J
way of tho conditions of the Mat-.
government and of the matter* to bid
considered nl this s> asioo. The
second day's mo.-s.-ifro will rolii'.e

of taxation, rclatlvd to the annual re?
