Kitchen Suggestions. 
You are lucky if you have an old chest 
of drawers and some old book shelves. 
Put them in the kitchen as near the stove 
as possible, setting the shelves on top of 
the bureau. Put on one or two coats of 
varnish, cover the top of the bureau with 
enamelled cloth of any desired color, and 
they are ready to hold the tea caddy, cof¬ 
fee jar, salt box, pepper, spices, sugar 
and everything else you will want in a 
hurry when getting a meal. In the upper 
drawer of the bureau keep kitchen knives, 
forks and spoons, and other small uten¬ 
sils used in preparing a meal. In the 
next one put roller and dish towels and 
cook books. The third one reserve for 
paper bags, twine, scissors, a few tacks 
and a hammer. 
Save your newspapers to cover the top 
[of the kitchen table when cooking. After 
our work is done all you have to do is 
\o gather them up, dirt and all, and burn 
em, leaving a perfectly clean table un- 
:rneatl». Wet newspapers, tear them 
into shreds, and throw them on the carpet 
before sweeping, the dust gathers on them 
instead of flying about, besides making the 
carpet look brighter. Cut newspapers 
into small pieces and stuff hammock pil¬ 
lows with them. Polish silver, brass and 
glass with them; it makes them shine.

Lady” and many another old friend.

"Saved 
20 Times 
Its Cost” 
“I am writing this” says E. C. Par- 
melee, Highlands, N. J .‘‘by the light 
of one of your Angle Lamps I would 
not think of using any other light. They 
are the lamps. Every one who has seen 
mine is impressed with them I have saved at least 20 times 
their cost in oil, burners, chimneys and ‘cuss words."’ 
The Angle Lamp is not an improvement on the 
old style lamp, butan entirely new principle of oil 
lighting which has made common kerosene (or coal 
oil) the most satisfactory of all lighting methods. 
Safer and more reliable than gasoline, oracetylene, 
yet as convenient to operate as gas or electricity. 
The Angle Lamp 
is lighted and extinguished like gas. Maybe turned 
high or low without odor. No smoke, no danger 
Filled while lighted and without moving. Requires 
lining hut once or twice a week. It floods a room 
with its beautiful, soft, mellow light that has no 
equal. Write for our catalog *' NV’ and our propo¬ 
fol 30 Days Free Trial. 
Write for our catalogue ‘ N.” listing 32 varieties 
of the Angle Lamp from 81.80 up, now—before you
