Saving of 2 to 3 Guaranteed the NewFeed UNDERFEED Way!

Stop! Read this. It means money saved to you. It means better, cleaner heat. And please remember that all this comfort and saving is guaranteed-guaranteed the Williamson New-Feed UNDERFEED way. It is but one instance among thousands of such others that we can show you.

"The year before my UNDERFEED was installed, my house was heated with an Overfed Furnace of so-called "standard" make. My coal, year before last, cost me from $3.00 to $3.25 a ton; the bill for the winter ran almost $90.00, and during that winter only about half of my house was heated as a house should be.

"Last winter the same house was heated with one of your UNDERFEED Furnaces. The coal used was "Slack," which cost me $1.50 per ton; the bill for the entire winter ran about $35.00. The house was comfortably heated every day of the winter, including windy days.

"A comparison of those two years has convinced me of the superiority of your UNDERFEED Furnace."

Yours respectfully, (signed) H. Ernest Hutton,

The "Candle" Principle

The New-Feed UNDERFEED operates on the "candle" principle.

Coal

is fed from below. Hot, clean coals and flame are always on top in direct contact with most effective radiating surfaces. In passing up through the live fire, all smoke, gases and dirt are consumed and utilized in the form of clean heat. They can't go up the chimney and be wasted as in top-fed heaters.

Burns Cheaper Grades of Coal

And the New-Feed UNDERFEED burns the cheaper grades of coal-a first great tangible saving. And the New-Feed is so simple that a boy of 12 can operate it with as good results as when the fire is in charge of a professional "furnace tender." Adapted to warm air, steam or hot water.

DARE-DEVIL SPEEDERS OF THE SEAS
(Continued from page 160)

two little hydroplanes, Pronto and Lead-
ing Lady, were neck and neck over a
course that was about thirty miles long.
At almost any minute the mechanics
could have clasped hands. Leading Lady
was faster and she drew away slowly.
At the turns Pronto came piling in, cut
out her rival, and was a good length ahead
before Leading Lady was back on the
course. Pronto won in two seconds
better time. The rival driver admitted

racing game, to be neglected. Experience, bought at a huge price in actual money, has ruled for the staunch bottom. Baby Reliance V is champion of Amer

ica. She has done fifty-four miles an hour over a measured course and she is only twenty feet long. Sixteen-foot boats have made almost as great speed. Disturber IV has a name for having done fifty-eight miles an hour, but as she was in England during the racing season

he had something to learn, and spent the rest of the summer in the attempt.

A log on the course, even a two by four or a packing case, has sent many a thin-skinned hydroplane to the bottom. Kitty Hawk has been fished up time and again with her bottom stove in, because she, and her successors of the same name, have been lightly built. The Baby Reliances, and their kin, have of late been built of two-inch oak below the water line. It adds weight, but safety first too often means first in the final results in the

of the North last summer she is not entitled to the laurels which she may yet win. She is different from the little racers for she has really ridden in bad weather on Lake Michigan. But she cost a small fortune and few boats will be built like her as long as the cheaper, smaller boats can skim the courses almost as rapidly. And, because most boats are small, some hydroplane racer at every regatta will upset. Yet there have been no drownings. The courses are always lined with willing life savers.
