Cooks everything any wood or coal range will cook, and cooks it better, because of th': steady, evenly-distributed heat. Use it all the year 'round —more convenient than a wood or coal stove, and more econom ical. The long blue chimneys prevent all smoke and In !. 1. 3 and 4 burner sifts, with or without event.

Raising Rabbits for Food The cry, “Raise rabbits and be in dependent of the food situation" has been raised in the East as a natural outgrowth of the general food cam paign, says tlie Oregonian. The ex treme fecundity of the rabbit is be ing emphasized as an argument in its favor, together with the fact that it thrives on food that is easy to raise! and would otherwise in many in- stances be wasted. In this connec- tion the interesting statement is made that France is now eating 100,000,000 rabbits a year; that England in peace times imported rabbits from Ostend of the value of $10,000 a day, showing that preju dice against the rabbit as food is really unjustified. It also declared that the Belgian hare is really a rab bit, while the common jackrabbit is a hare. The propaganda is being di rected to stimulating Interest in the animal as an economic factor and not as a fad and warning is given against the pyramid of ridiculous prices for fancy stock, as was done at the height of the craze a few years ago.

I From Great Divide» Eighty-one tornadoes have career- ec i across Illinois within the last 19 years, They keep happening, but a town in the way of a tornado happens Only when It hits a town i arely. does a tornado become deadly and famous, and here in tho middle west towns lie conveniently wide apart. \ tornado is a sign of spring. Warmth and cold struggle for su premacy, Dampness adds to the in- stability of the air. A warm wind brushes past a cold wind, starts the air whirling, forms a vacuum Inside the whirl and a column of vapor around the vacuum. The new-born monster rushes across the country at the speed of an ordinary railroad train, leaving devastation along a track anywhere from 600 feet to a mile wide. Were the air sufficiently damp, and therefore sufficently un stable, the same thing might happen in tlie fall. And the same thing happens in spring, even in the East. But the East and the West are not classed as tornado districts. It is only a district where, with few hills to interfere tor nadoes have free run. The hillier East and West start as many aerial fandangoes, if not more, but shunts them skyward. Once tn a while, thanks to occasional hillocks, the Middle West does likewise. A cyclone, in technical parlance, is any general storm. In popular but not definitely unscientific parlance It is the type of storm represented by the hurricane or typhoon—a whirl wind with a diameter of from fifty to a hundred miles. It was a cyclone from the West Indies that struck Galveston. The dust whirls you see along country roads are in principle torna- I’. C.
