4 "FLORENCE AUTOMATIC" OIL COOK STOVES \HE blue flame from the Florence wickless burner is always steady, always under perfect control. A special jacket holds it directly under the cooking utensils--giving a quicker, more econ- omical heat. Used with McClary's Success oven, the Florence Automatic is a wonderful baker. 'There are no wicks to clean, no odors, no trouble. Let us give you a demonstration of the Florence Automatic in actual operation. Ten of the largest locomotives ever built for use on Canadian ratlways have been under construction for some time at the C.P.R. Angus Shops in Montreal, and one of these, No. 6302. was inspected the other day by President E. W.

When he was an infant he took his airings in a buby buggy which was a veritable steel cage, locked. by special padlocks. This was o lof the" precautions against kidnappers." |Vinson, moreover, we are told, spent his |bubyhood in a gold cradle, the gift of King Leopold of Belzium® He had elaborate | nurseries in five different homes: andaif he wanted an auto ride, there was a car fitter up as a nursery. One birthday party | brought him $40,000 worth of toys, On Sunday Vinson eluded the vigilance of his. guard, ran out of the gate of his palatial home, und was knocked down by a cheap Ford car, dying eight» hours later. 'This is the pathetic history of the "world's | richest baby." Little Vinson was the heir to the immense fortunes of his two grandfathers--Thon F. Walsh, the Colorado "Copper Ki and John R. McLean, owner of the Ci cinnati Inquirer and Washington Post ; but | his riches do not appear to have brought him anything but 'discomfort and misfor- tune. What boy could develop normally hedged'in by so much protection and pam- pered to such an absurd extent? A golden cradle and $40,000 worth of toys on a single birthday! That sum alone would have set up an average family comfortably for life. And the Unitfd States the most dem- cratic country. on earth! There is some- thing grievously wrong here, und stories like these are the strongest propaganda for the Bolshevist wreckers. Certainly, if this is a true account, the disparity of life between this poor coddled boy and the child of the toiler is so sickeningly dispro- portionate, as to cry aloud to the heavens All the same, we think, of the two, the poor man's child has the best of it. Such excesses. however, are decidedly not good for society. \ Paint insures your house against decay Nothing makes a house look shabbier than lack of paint-nothing catises quick, er deterioration.
