It looks about as good as a MAJESTIC, and for a time say, a year or two It gives pretty good satisfaction. Then the joints expand, the oven won't hold , heat as It did, it takes twice the fuel to do the same amount of cooking-, and you find the few dollars you saved on the start were mighty poor economy. Don't make that mistake; come in and let us demonstrate the many points of MAJESTIC construction, and the exclusive labor-saving fea tures possessed by this range. When you consider a MAJESTIC lasts a lifetime and uses less fuel than any range made, it will prove much the cheapest in the long run.

FOOD AND SHELTER NEEDED While Relief Work Has Been All That Could Be Kxpected, Mascnl-' tude of Disaster Drains Char itable Societies' Resources. ROIIE March SO.-tSpeciaD-T.amentabitf conditions still prevail in the devastated districts of Messina and Reggio. Xearly three months have passed since the earth quake laid low these towns and innum erable villages In Sicily and Calabria, leaving behind it a death roll which can not yet be computed, and a desolation un equaled In modern times. The appalling magnitude and suddenness of the catas trophe might well have stunned any coun try and excused many " shortomings - in the work of relief, even though they also stirred the pity of the whole world and inspired eager offers of assistance from every quarter of the globe. But three months have now gone by, a period long enough to have relieved all immediate distress and to have made good start in the work of reparation, and still but lit tle has actually been effected In compare ison with what might have been done. The principal relief committee in Rome composed of men of the highest char acter and integrity, has simply failed to rise to the emergency with which it has ' been called upon to deal. The truth is that the members of this committee ap pear to be overwhelmed by the magni tude of their task. . The immediate necessity is for the con veyance of food and clothing to the lo allties. many of them comparatively in accessible, in which they are urgently required, and for the erection of tem porary shelters where buildings have been destroyed. The inaction of the Central Committee is the less excusable, as the various local and foraign relief commit tees appear to have shown them excel lent examples, but so large a portion of the total sum contributed was sent to the central fund, and Is still awaiting the decisions of those by whom t is con trolled, tha. many of these local com mittees are at the end of their resources and are compelled to remain helpless spec tators of misery which they are no long er able to alleviate. Civil Rule Falls. The militar-v ml in j -. - '-in. anu v. - glo has given place to civil government not altogether with advantage. The erec tion of-wooden houses proceeds onlv slow ly, with indefinite Haisvc. . .i i . - .j - auu uiilii ade quate shelter can "be provided in the stricken regions there is no way of bring- uun. uio scattered refugees to their own provinces.

Of the total of the sums collected in Italy, and all over the world, for imme diate and unofficial relief, no exact amount can be given. The Vatican fund has reached over JSOO',000; the Lombard and Piedmontese funds have possibly reached some J700.000; the American and English funds were for the most part paid Into that of the Central Committee or National fund over and above the monev thus niH tViOV ,-,,- 1 . - , , - .'- i. icuiueu some 2.000.000, chiefly American, and expended arnica b-iiu portaDie nouses: the National- fund, at the disposal of the Cen tral Committee, stands at S4.30O.O0O. of which the American ontributlon must have amounted to about J2,500,000. Funds Well Expended. In addition, there is the society for the protection of the orphans, which has received from various sources J2OO.O0O. and Other less Imnnrtant rharttahla es. The Vatican fund has been spent wiruugii me agency or the Church with great discretion and very impartial lib erality, some proportion of it being re served for the restoration of ruined churches in poor parishes. The Pied montese and Lombard! committees have administered their own funds admirably, with much practical common sense. Of the British and Amerian organizations a full account has been given. The ad ministration of these funds deserve noth ing but praise. The same, however, cannot be said for the administration of the Central fund, which represents the great bulk of the money subscribed, both in Italy and abroad. An excellent committee was se lected for its distribution, but from the first this committee seems to have en tirely misconceived the part they were asked to play. The money was for Im mediate relief and to prevent unnecessary suffering; they have chosen to regard it as a sacred trust for the future as well as the present needs of the victims. Two months after the disaster they had spent only a tenth of the sum in their keeping, and permanent benefit In the way of Immediate relief they doled put totally Insufficient sums. Behind Reggio and Messina, stretching far away on either coast, lies a once pop ulous region, now a waste surrounding some 50 ruined towns and countless vil lages, whose wretched inhabitants are, many of them, still naked and starving. TAX BILL LEADS TO RIOT Spaniards End Discussion of Mea sure With Stabbing Affray. LISBON. March 20. (Special.) The proposed tax on agriculture has led to a conflict in the Spanish town of Montegicar. A public meeting was convened, and angry words soon led to blows. The fight became general, and all kinds of firearms and knives were brought out and used with dead ly effect. A strong force of the Civil Guard was called out, and with great diffi culty restored order. The casualties totaled three killed. four seriously wounded and a considerable number with slight Injuries. ;
