THE FIRST 
PREPARED ROOFING 
which was at once weather-proof, elastic and 
fire-resisting was RUBEROID. It is to-day 
the only ready-to-lay roofing which is a 
legitimate substitute for metal or 
shingles and which will outlaSt 
them both, costing little to 
apply and less to maintain 
The first Ruberoid 
Roofs laid, fif¬ 
teen years ago, 
are Still doing 
satisfactory 
service. 
We have 
juSt received, 
^ ¥ K K V as a specimen, 
0 1 part of the Ruberoid 
^ A H ■ Roofing which has been 
nearly fifteen years in use on 
the foundries of Lehr Agricultural 
Co., Fremont, Ohio. It is in such 
excellent condition that we decided to 
cut it up into small samples for distribution. 
One of these is at your disposal. You can apply 
Ruberoid Roofing yourself. We furnish all neces¬ 
sary fixtures free. Send for samples and Booklet “R.”

Wonderful New Oil Lamp 
Floods your room with the finest, softest, pleasantest light, yet burns % to Vi less oil than 
any other. As totally different from all other lamps in results as it is in appearance. 
Used by many of the moSt particular people in preference to gas. 
Proof positive of how entirely different The Angle Lamp is from all others is 
the class of people who use it. 
What other lamp—or what other lighting system, for that matter—can show 
endorsements from ex-Pres. Cleveland, the Carnegies, Rockefellers, and thousands 
of others of almost equal prominence ? 
These people would not think of using ordinary oil lamps, yet they have chosen this 
oil-burning lamp for lighting their homes and estates in preference to gas, electricity, 
gasoline, acetylene, or any other method, because they have found that while as 
Convenient as Gas or Eledtricity 
to operate, its light is more brilliant than either, and of the beautiful, soft, restful 
quality for which kerosene is so justly famous. 
But you need not take even this evidence of the superiority of The Angle Lamp. 
For the very fact that The Angle Lamp always surprises and delights even the 
most particular people enables us to offer you better proof yet—A THIRTY DAYS’ 
TRIAL of any lamp listed in Catalog “NN” in your own home, where you yourself 
can prove that it is the best, the cheapest and the most satisfactory of all lighting 
methods. Lighted and extinguished like gas. Filled while lighted with perfect 
safety. Requires filling but once or twice a week. Burned high or low without odor. 
No Smoke No Danger 
Ju^t one thing more—Economy. If splendid light and convenience were the only 
features of THE ANGLE LAMP it might be considered a luxury. But, as this lamp actually 
cotfts less to burn than even the troublesome, old-fashioned kind, it mutft be considered an 
acflual necessity. Write for Catalog “NN” lifting 32 varieties from $1.80 up.

How to Keep a Good Servant 
Lighten her work. Cut out the drudgery of washing. 
You would not ask her to wring clothes by hand—why 
expect her to wash them by hand? The Wringer was 
a wonderful invention, but the 
v • 
Syracuse “Easy’’ Washer 
saves hours where the wringer saves minutes; saves the 
whole body where the wringer saves only hands and 
arms ; saves dollars on wear and tear of clothes where the 
wringer saves dimes. It completely solves the problem of 
economical family washing and the servant problem, so 
far as the washing is concerned.

Agriculture and Related Branches 
Our courses in Agriculture are taught by Prof. Brooks of the Massachusetts 
Agricultural College; Horticulture, Botany, Floriculture and Landscape Gardening, 
by Prof. Craig and Prof. Coit of Cornell University; Agricultural Bacteriology by 
Prof. Conn of Wesleyan University; Veterinary Science by Dr. Paige of the Massa¬ 
chusetts Agricultural College. We have helped hundreds of practical farmers to 
reduce the drudgery, to increase the profits and to add to the enjoyments of farm life. 
We have helped hundreds of men and women to change from other less congenial and 
less healthful occupations and to make a real success of some branch of farming or 
gardening. We have assisted others in preparing for responsible positions as farm 
managers, or as gardeners on private estates. Others have taken our courses in order 
to intelligently direct their own farming and gardening and the beautifying of their 
home grounds as well as to increase their capacity for the enjoyment of country life. Our 
agricultural text-books have been adopted as regular text-books for class-room work 
by over three-fourths of the State Colleges of Agriculture. There is money and 
pleasure too in farming and gardening, in the growing of fruit or of flowers for those 
who understand the Ways How and the Reasons Why of Modern Agriculture. 
Commercial Courses 
Our Commercial courses are in charge of J. Frank Drake, B. A., M. C. Sc., a 
graduate of Dartmouth College and of the Amos Tuck School of Administration and 
Finance. We offer a Complete Business Course, also special courses in Shorthand 
and Typewriting, Penmanship, Letter-Writing and Commercial Law. We have 
hundreds of commercial students and graduates who are holding good positions and 
who attribute their success in large measure to our instruction and help. 
Normal and Common School Courses 
The Principal of our Normal and Common School Department is A. H. Campbell, M. A., Ph. D., formerly 
principal of The State Normal Schools of Vermont and New Hampshire. The courses include Normal and 
Review instruction in the common branches, also special courses in Kindergarten, Pedagogy, Science and Art 
of Teaching, etc. Graded courses in the common branches are offered for the benefit of those who have never 
enjoyed good common school advantages. 
If you cannot conveniently leave home or your present employment to attend the regular sessions of a 
resident school, if your local school advantages are not satisfactory, if you are past the school age, if you wish 
to take up a special course to assist you in attaining some special object, remember that HOME STUDY 
EDUCATES. In choosing a correspondence school choose the best. Poor instruction is dear at any price. 
It is not worth your while to study under obscure instructors when you can just as well study under the per¬ 
sonal instruction and guidance of able college professors who are known the world over and whose personal 
certificates carry all of the weight of residence school diplomas. 
A copy of our general catalogue explaining our courses in detail will 
be mailed free to all who ask for it. Write to-day. The information 
which this catalogue contains is worth having.
