When the cnrtain'is rung up on war, not even the wisest of prophets can say when or bow it will be rung down. Tor, of all lotteries, war Is the most uncertain. It may come to an unexpected conclusion within a few weeks or months, or it may drag iU baleful length over twice as mary years.

" In 1866, when Austria and Prus sia marshalled a million men at the call of war,ithere seemed every pros pect of prolonged and close fighting, for there was not a pin to choose between the rival forces. But what promised to be a mighty duel run ning Into years cam to a dramatic close within six weeks from the fir ing of the first shot, when a single battle between the rival hosts left Austria - - hopelessly crushed and beaten. , - , ' And so it was when Serbia, with Russia at her back, flung down! the gauntlet to Turkey, In July of 1876. Here, again, a long and deadly struggle was generally anticipated. But all forecasts were falsified when, on the last day of October, tbe Turks fell like an avalanche on the enemy and brought the campaign to a sud den and dramatic end. Buch is tbe lottery of war! No man today, la, Washington, in Lon don! In Paris of. elsewhere can say with any ; degree of certainty whe ther the present war will continue through the present year or longer, or will end suddenly, or at least very soon result in conference that, after due deliberation, will agree upon the terms and sign the treaty o( peace.

With meat at from 25c to 35c a pound the saving on meat bills each .week is a very appreciable one. The remarkable oven, with walls as heavily insulated and heat -conserving as a fireless cooker, retains all the rich juices of the food usually carried off by air currents, and the delicate flavor often spoiled by gaseous fumes. This is but one of the many unusual cooking advantages of the Hughes Electric Range. You can bake bread evenly without turning it; roast meat , without basting; brown cake as evenly on the bottom as tb,e top; cook cabbage and onions in the oven with very little water and no odor at the same time obtaining better flavored food than you have ever before known. Think what It means to gat results like this, with even Ims uxtrk than any othsr method of cooking requires. Tfcink what m relief it is to be Creed forever from tbe danger of flames or the bother of carrying dirty fuel, to be rid of the film of soof or gummy deposits on range, walls and woodwork to have a dirtless range and an immaculate kitchen. The Hughes Electric Range will give you all these conveniences; and, in addition a cooler kitchen, purer air, more time away from your kiufben. I The Hughes Range has been used and endorsed- y tbe country's greatest cooking authorities, Marion Harris Neil, Janet McKcnzie Hill, Alice Bradley, airs. Lemcke-Barkbausen.' It has been ap proved by Good Housekeeping Institute, and given the world's highest official award, the Panaao-Pacinc GolJ MedaL Let ua tell you why it has won all, these distinctions. . .
