I Saving Several Shovelfuls
i| of Coal
I Baby must' have it extra warm for a bath. What
R does such an occasion mean in your home ? Do you
" have to put all the draft on the furnace and feed in
f the precious fuel every time you want one room
warmer than the rest of the house? Or do you light
your Perfection Oil Heater and save that coal?
PERFATION
OIL/lAEA\ERS
are helping to heat millions of American homes. Don't
get the idea that they are only for houses that have no
furnaces. Perfections are for every home and there
was never a time when they were more needed than
right now. You'll find a heap o* comfort in your Per
fection, too. There's something homey and cheerful
about it that you'll like.
Perfection heat is economical heat because kerosene
is an economical fuel. But remember this—it makes
all the difference in the world what kind of kerosene
you use. There is one kind though, that you can
always be sure of. It is easy to get it because it has a
special name —Atlantic Rayolight Oil. Ask for it by
that name. It gives maximum neat and burns without
smell, smoke or sputter.
Perfections are safe oil heaters. There is no risk of
turning the wick too high. That is impossible, unless
you take it apart. A good plan would be to go to your
dealer and select your Perfection noiv. He has a good
supply now—reasonably priced, $5.65 to $lO.OO.

M'KIBBIN, BRAVE

PATTISON'S STAFF
Brigadier General Who Died
ill Washington Inspector
General of National Guard
\ National Guard historians st the
Capitol recall the fact that Brigadier
General Chambers McKlbbln, who
died in Washington on Monday, was
once an aid oq .he staff of Governor
Pattfson and later Inspector general
of the National Guard, a place he
held for four years.
The story of General McKibbin's
early life is one of the most inter
esting stories of the Civil War. He,
was born In Plftsburgh on November
2, 1841. During his boyhood the
family moved to Philadelphia, and It
was there he enlisted In a Philadel
phia regiment and went to the front
In the Civil War, and at Gaines Mill
joined the fighting ranks of the
Fourteenth Infantry,' was
wounded shortly after getting into
active service.
A short time later he enlisted for
general military service and re
ceived a commission as second lieu
tenant of the Fourteenth Infantry.
He fought with this organization in
the campaign of the Army of the
Potomac, except at Gettysburg. He
was wounded both at Chancellors
ville and at Weldon Railroad, and
was severely wounded again on Au
gust 18. 1564. He was cited for
bravery In the battle of North Anna
River, Virginia.
From the close of the Civil War
until the declaration of war with
Spain he saw service in the Indian
campaigns In the West. At the out
break of war with Spain he was
lieutenant-colonel of the Twenty-first
Infantry, and on July 10. 1898. h3
was appointed a brigadier general of
volunteers. He commanded the Sec
ond Brigade, Second Division, Fifth
Army Corps, to April, 1899. He took
part In the Santiago campaign In
Cuba and afterward served In the
field in the Philippine Islands.
General McKlbbln retired in Au
gust, 1902, after forty years' serv
ice, both in the United States serv
ice and the Pennsylvania National
Guard.
During the Intervals between mili
tary activities General McKibbin re
turned to Pittsburgh and embarked
in the iron business with McKnlght
& Co. At the nme time his mili
tary training began to exhibit Itself
and he entered the Eighteenth Regi
ment, National Gurad of Pennsyl
vania, in 1873, where he rose from
private to colonel of the regiment,
serving with honor during the Penn
sylvania railroad riots of 1877.
It was after resigning his colo
nelcy In 1884 he was appointed an
aid on Governor Ppttlson's staff, and
later made Inspector general of the
National Guard, which place he held
for four years.
For twenty-three years General
McKibbin, then popularly known as
"Colonel McKlbbip," was secretary
and treasurer of the Duqucane Club,
of Pittsburgh. , ■ y h •
