Do lodges realize how fast they are
making history? And yet how little
of It the secretary's minutes really
show, and who will go through them
ro find out what information they do
give! The person who named the
lodge and many other Interesting
things, if grouped together, will lie
highly prized in years to come. A
lodge In n western jurisdiction had a
charier member who took the minute
book and from his memory wrote
iliiite an Interesting history of the
lodge. That was three years ago, mid
now the lodge has nski-d another mem
ber to bring the history up to date. It
is a labor of love to liiilli thoe mem
bers, and they enjoy it greatly. There
are. probably very few lodges but that
contain some member or inei.il.ers who
could do this w irk. a;,:l in years to

In olden times it was said to account
for the beautiful blossoms thnt angels
came down and- walked upon earth,
and that those blossoms grew where
(heir feet touched the ground. And so,
like the footsteps of angels, the Order
of the Eastern Star has caused flowers
to grow wherever It has touched the
earth flowers of pity, truth, charity
and loving kindness. -Edward Jackson,

Imitations of this Original Hot Blast are many. None of them has the absolutely air-tight and gas-tight construction through
out which Cole's Hot Blast has by reason of its numerous patents. A Patented Steel Collar connects the elbow draft to the stove
body and cannot open by action of the fiercest heat. The Patented Compound Hinge on the lower draft cannot warp, and the
draft door closes air-tight by its own weight. The guaranteed Smoke-proof Feed Door prevents smoke, dust or gas escaping when
fuel is put in the stove
Imitations soon open seams and cracks which spoil them for keeping fire and cause the gas half of the coal and much of the
heat to escape up the chimney. '
See the name "Cole's Hot Blast from Chicago" on the feed door of our stove. None genuine without it.

Build only One Fire a Winter
Cole's Hot Blast is so perfect in construction that fire keeps all night,
and when the draft is opened in the morning will burn two or three hours
with the hard coal or soft coal put in the night before. No other stove does
this. Fire, therefore, never goes out, kindling fires is dispensed with, and
the rooms are kept at an even temperature all the time.

Original Hot Blast and sell it on the accompanying guarantee which
cannot be made on any other heating stove in the world. If you want
