We wish to again call your attention to the Modern
Peninsular Steel Range which is set on a steel leg
base, has an encased enameled Reservoir and High
Closet, and has 7, 8 or 9 inch covers. Well, here is the
Range. Isn't it a deauty? Easy to keep clean—the
large sheet flue doesn't require cleaning out as often
as other ranges because it uses less fuel, so there is
less soot to ean out. You don't have to black it
often. The castings are so smooth that they are easily
cleaned. Come in and see this stove, purchase* one
and you/will never regret it.

IPERCHERONS FOR FARM WORK
[Two 8talliona and Two Marea of Pure
ftred Type Used on Big Manure
Spreader In Virginia.
(By a M.
CLINTON.)
A little over a year ago I paid a
jTtait to a breeding farm in the fa
mous "Valley of Virginia," where Per
Oheron horses were raised, and was
struck with the fact that this breed
jpoesessed admirable qualities as farm
{horses, as well as city drafters.
Two stallions and two mares were
working on a big manure-spreader,
being all driven by one man. These
superb animals were pure-bred Per
cheronB, and averaged 1,850 each.
The young stallions were easily man
aged, although they were being used
In the stud.
The mares were splendid specimens
of the breed, and it was a great sight
to see these four magnificent animals
working quietly together.
The compactness of body, the
cleanness of limb and the splendid
structure of their feet, all go to make
the Percheron popular, both as a
farm horse and a city drafter.
For farm work they do not need to
weigh 1,850,. as did those four pure
breeds just mentioned, these being
|rp| Stalliona and Marea.
safe A
used permanently for breeding pur
poses, although they did quite a lot
of work around the farm during the
year.
A pair of horses weighing from
1,400 to 1,500 pounds each are heavy1
enough for any kind of farm work,
bat many farmers prefer a horse with
more weight.
In considering the size of a farm
team, it is well to remember before
the purchase is made what the regu
lar duties of the team are to be for
many farmers who need only one pair
of horses will want to use them on
the road for wagon work as well as to
hook up to the carriage on Sundays.
Therefore, they will not require ex
tra heavy ones, but rather a pair that
are known as "all around" horses, and
If these weigh 1,400 to 1,500 pounds
each they will have plenty of sice,
and if they are well shaped and have
spirit and snap, they will do good
road work.
It is surprising how much depends
on the shape and carriage of a horse,
even an ordinary work horse, espe
cially when you want him to do a lit
tle pleasuring with once in a while.
VACUUM CLEANER FOR HORSE
Implement Passed Lightly Over AnU
mal Extracts Dirt and Loose Hairs
'n Effective Manner.
In this era of vacuum cleaners for
buildings, cars and similar things it
is to be expected that the principle
should be adapted to other cleaning
purposes. Pew people, however,
would think, as a Philadelphia man
did, of applying it to horses. This
man has hitched a curry-comb and
brush to the vacuum tank, each being
hollow, of course, and screwing on
the pipe as needed. Where hereto
fore the hostler had to scrub the
horse's back vigorously with comb
and brush, he seed no wonly pass the
Implement lightly over the animal, the

effectively and expeditiously than it
could ever be done by the old method.
This cleaner also saves the man from
much hard work and the horse from
much hard scraping. Furthermore,
there is an economical end to the
story, as the oleaner is said to Im
prove the horse's general condition
find to reduce tbe feed bill by about
i»no-fourth as a result of Improved

NEWEST FANCY IN HATPINS
Most Fragile of These Novelties Are
In Shape of Rosettes, of White
1
Net.
f- \r
Fafcric heads are the newest fancy
in hatpins. The most fragile of these
novelties are in the shape of resettes
and tiny rosebud wreaths of stiffened
white net, and the most substantial
are of Irish crochet representing either
the shamrock or the full blown rose.
Also of flower form are the hatpin tops
of celluloid tinted in imitation of what
ever exotic is represented, and there
are some choice and expensive speci
mens of coral carved in dahlia and
rose shape. Carved ivory pin tops rep
resent all manner of odd shapes, as
well as flat disks, balls and *pears, and
in the prism cut crystals of various
shades are the well kno\^n spikes,
acrons and cubes.
Pin tops of filigree metal in square
and circular form are set with coral
rose balls, with peals and amethysts,
and many of sterling sliver are bril
liantly enameled with color.
Amethysts are a favorite setting for
the Colonial pin tops of burnished gold
and form the center of the flower
shapes which have petals of white
stones.
Hatpins have so gradually Increased
In size and cost that they are now re
garded as a portion of the jewelry and
are as carefully looked after. The
amethysts, garnets, rhinestones or
pearls of a hatpin head are quite
worth saving when the ornament Itself
for one reason or another, Is discarded.
Not Infrequently a girl will throw away
a handsome top because its pin Is bent
or broken or several of the semi-pre
cious stones of its setting have fallen
out owing to her failure to have her
expensive hatpins examined as regu
larly as she does her rings. While
the larger shops do not repair jewelry
set with semi-precious stones, there
are many minor dealers who will glad
ly renovate an elaborate hatpin, and
for an amazingly small sum {.«
SMART WALKING COSTUME
Fine Serge or Face Cloth the Most
'Suitable for This Pretty
Gown.
Very fine serge or face cloth are
the most suitable materials to be used
for making this smart costume.
The underskirt consists of a deep
kilt, attached to a lining foundation
the overskirt is long at the back but
shorter at front where it wraps over.
The coat has revers of material
stitched at edge, then a long roll col
lar of silk -lies over them one large
tv v*'-r
Walking Coetume.
1
button forms the fastening below
waist.
The brim of the toque Is of stretch'
ed satin, the full orown of velvet silk
cord forms the trimming.
Materials required for the dress:
eight yards 46 inches wide, four and
one-half yards skirt lining, five yards
silk for lining coat.
Your Umbrella.
A badly rolled-up umbrella, besides
looking unsightly, does not wear half
so long as it ought to. The process
of rolling an umbrella up neatly is
very simple. 1
The majority hold it by the handle
and keep twisting the stick with one
hand while with the other they twist
and roll the silk. Instead of this, they
should take hold of the umbrella just
above the ribs of the cover. These
points, naturally, lie evenly with the
stick. They should be kept hold of
and pressed tightly against the stick,
and then the cover should be rolled
up. Holding the ribs thus prevents
them from getting twisted out "of
place or bending out of shape, and the
silk is bound to follow evenly and
roll smooth and tight. If an umbrella
is rolled in thlB same fashion until it
la old enough to look rusty, It will
)ook as If newly bought.

Life Saved At Death's Door
"I never felt so near my grave,''
writes W. Patterson, of Wellington,
Tex., as when a frightful cough and
lung trouble pulled me down to 100 lbs
in spite of doctor's treatment for two
years. My father, mother and two sis
ters died of consumption, and that I am
alive today is due solely to Dr. King.s
New Discovery which completely cured
me. Now I weigh 187 poundf and have
been well and strong for years." Quick

for coughs, colds, lagrippe, asthma,
croup, and all throat and lung troubles.
