Plan for 
Simimer Comfort 
Don’t add tlie heat of a kitchen 
fire to the sufficient discomfort of 
hot weather. 
Use a New Perfection Wick Blue 
Flame Oil Cook-Stove and cook in 
comfort. 
With a “New Perfection” 
Oil Stove the preparation of 
daily meals, or the big weekly 
“baking,” is done without rais¬ 
ing the temperature perceptibly 
above that of any other room 
in the house. Another great advantage of the 
NEW PERFECTION 
Blue Flame Oil Cook-Stove 
is its handsome CABINET TOP, which gives it every 
convenience of the modern steel range. Has an ample 
top shelf for warming plates and keeping cooked food hot, 
drop shelves for holding small cooking utensils, and is 
even fitted with racks for towels. Made in three sizes, 
and can be had with or without Cabinet Top. If not 
at your dealer’s address our nearest agency. 
Lamp 
gives perfect 
combustion 
whether high 
or low—is therefore free from disagreeable odor and can¬ 
not smoke. Safe, convenient, ornamental—the ideal light. 
If not at your dealer’s address our nearest agency.

THE GAME BOOK 
STANDARD BIG GAME MEASUREMENTS 
Every man wants to compare his trophy with those of other big game 
hunters. But comparisons are useless unless there is a fixed standard. 
The game book of the Boone and Crockett Club, the foremost organiza¬ 
tion of hunters of American big game supplies this. Compiled by J. H. 
Kidder, it provides directions for standard measurements of the large game 
animals of America, with spaces carefully arranged for complete data regard¬ 
ing the kill, locality, time, conditions, etc. 
It is handsomely and durably bound pocket size. It is an invaluable record 
for every man who goes into the wild for sport with the rifle, a handy book, 
a camp companion, and a library reminder of days afield. Leather.
