Combination Stove
Has Many Points of
Great Cooking Value
The above shown combination toaster
stove Is tho most practical electric device
of Its kind. Mrs. George Jones has had
one of those stoves ever since they wero
put on tho market, and do you know you
could not get this stovo away from her
for any price?
"Why!" she says, "I can use this stovo
for all of my light cooking. I ot it right
on the table and I can fry eggs, boll
meat, coffeo and toast bread. It Is so
handy; I don't have to run baok and
forth to the kitchen and) it is so easy
and clean to handle. When I receive
unexpected callers I can always, with the
use of this Uttlo stove, prepare a little
lunch." This stove sells for t&BO, and Is
demonstrated at The Eleotrio Shop, 1310
Faroam,
In 1902 the first electric truck was used
In Boston. Now there are hundreds of
electric trucks on the streets of that city.
Music by Wireless
Telephone for Men
at Naval Station
Until they learned that there had been
a wireless telephone test made at Bay
vllle, I I., on Saturday, the operators
at the" naval radio station here thought
thelr-ears Imd'fooleq them.
The operators on Saturday afternoon
were tuning Up with tho naval sation at
Arlington. Va. They were straining their
ears "listening In" for the southern sta
tion, when all ot a sudden tho strains
of "Marching Through Georgia" were
heard. This was followed by other musi
cal' numbers, and then a man's voice was
heard to say, "Did you get It?"
The muslij come through the receivers
clear and distinct, and it was evident that
it was being playtd on a graphopbone
Newport DlBpatch to Now York Tribune.
