senator six years ago, nothing ma-
terial concerning the present case
was brought out.

of Your Coal Bill
Che WILSON HEATER

Down-Draft is the only heater
which actually burns all of ihe
fuel put into it. The Hot Blast
Down-Draft creates perfect
combustion and the fume*
which rise from the fuel, ordi-
narily escaping unburned in
other stoves, are all con-
sumed and turned into heat in the Wilson.
It ha9 been ascertained that the fumes
which arise from the fuel constitutes 40
per cent of the entire heating power of
the fuel. Buy a Wilson and get all
the heat you are paying for.
