The present century is pre-eminently one of practical progress and improvement, yet in no branch of industry have greater gains been made than in that which aids in loading the table with food perfectly prepared, one of the rot and most necessary steps toward health, that boon priceless alike to prince or poor man, The brush heap probably cooked the first food, and the huge fireplace, garnished with hooks, cranes and ovens, was q giant stride in progress. It took years of patient toil to bring up to its present grade of utility the cast éron cook stove. It is now conceded by most thoughtful people to have had ite day of usefulness, and in every point of su- periority Wrought-Iron Rages are superceding them. In- vestigation, experience and practical tests have demonstrated these to be incontrovertible facts. Practical experience ts po- tent and absolute, and by that severe test we have carefully tried every progressive step and change in the construction of our Ranges. We absolutely guarantee them to work to per- fection, and they make friends everywhere. They are mar- vels of usefulness, and economic noless than sanitary reasons urge that they be used in every family. Wealth without health is adorned poverty, and poverty without health is misery. Good food, properly cooked, is a great factor in health, hence the necessity that all should have one of our matchiess Home Comfort” Ranges, bringing health and comfort; so that good digestion waits on 2 and health on both.“ WROUGHT-IRON RANGE COMPANY, 1901 WASHINGTON AVENUE.

Wasnmorox. August 28.—It sometimes happens that Congress, with all its boasted intelligence, over reaches itself, and gives to a class that it did not in- tend to benefit material advantages. The claim agents of the city are chuckling to themselves over a couple of acts of last Congress by which they are reaping a rich harvest. One of these was an act by which their feesfor obtaining pensions were in- creased, and which brings many thousands of dol- lars to them without any more labor, the other gives them hundreds of thousands of new cases. It is only recently that the scope of an act passed by Congress at its last session, affecting the standing of many soldiers has been thoroughly realized. The act in question is intended merely to correct the record of soldiers who were not regu- larly mustered in or out of the service. It happened in many cases that men served months inthe army before being regularly mustered in, and in other cases that men after the war was over and the fight- ing ended went home before being mustered out. An act was passed by the last Congress to correct the record in this sort of cases. It. is now held that when this record is corrected the men in question or their heirs will be entitled to pay for the time cov. ered b this condition s0 shown. Th Indica- ess-looking little — will take millions of dollars out of the treasury, + ets why should it not ifthe men in uestion served w th- out pay before being mustered in?
