The trouble at the Eagle colliery in

not paid enough.

committee waited upon Messrs. Byle
and Mellon and stated their case. The
answer received was satisfactory to
some It is said, but not to others and
the colliery is still idle.

Peruse These Pointers:
To obtain best results a refrigerator must be thoroughly
ileaned onse a week a difficult task ordinarily, but so easy
with The National.. You simply remove ice chamber, drip
pan and waste pipe, and there you are. (See cut.) An in
genious little device enables you to remove waste pan and
Irip cup from front, thus avoiding the old back breaking
method. These new points, coupled w"th a finely polished
Dak case, carved panels and Roman gold trimmings make
this the simplest, most ornamental and economical refriger
itor on the market. Call or write for catalogue.

Did you ever stop to con
sider how many $'s worth of
meat, milk, butter, etc., you
throw away every summer for
want of a good Refrigerator,
to say nothing of the incon
venience and extra cost ot be
ing compelled to buy all per
ishable' articles in driblets.
Now a really good one will
save enough of those $'sinone
season to pay for itself, and
that is the title we claim for
the New National.
