Do Your Cooking in the Cod A hot kitchen is Kttic better than a prison in summer. But the range is there, so ail the cooking and the washing must Le done there, too. What a relief it would be to move the range wh ^re voii pleased. You can do this with a Nev/ Perfection Oil Cook- stove—cook your dinner out on the porch, if you like. It is the only range that is really portable—that works equally well in any place. There are no coiuiections to be made, as in a gas range; no wiring, as with an electric stove; no sooty flues and ash*£lled grates, as with coal or wood. The long, enameled chimneys carry the heat directly up to saucepans, oven or boiler; you get fiili value from your i without waste. / 1 jgLiJijsagaia .-Stove M«de witn 1, 2 and 3 burncrr, wii;, lono turqiMi»e blue cnasniled chimnffvs. -'t ’ •omely finished throuyhout.

Thousands! yes hundreds of thous ands of people throughout America are murdering their own stomach, the best friend they have, and in their sub lime ignorance they think they are putting aside the laws of nature. This is no sensational statement; It is a startling fact, the truth of which any honorable physician will not de ny. ' These thousands of people are swal lowing daily huge quantities of pepsin and other strong digesters, made espe cially to digest the food In the stom ach without any aid at all from the digestive membrane of the stomach. In other words, they are taking from the stomach the work that na ture Intended It should do, and are also refusing it the only chknce for ex ercise it has. MI-O-NA stomach tab lets, they relieve distressed stomach in five minutes. Taken regularly for a few weeks they build up the stom ach and make it strong enough to di gest Its own food.
