There's nothing so cool as an oil stove for
summer cooking All the heat is concentrated
on the cooking and not radiated about the
kitchen.
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

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.

does a tornado become deadly and

\ 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
