Our Former President's Anniversary Surprise FEBR 'EBRUARY 12th, 1921 was the 25th wedding anniversary of Former President and Mrs. James T. Hutchings. A party of fourteen of their Rochester friends journeyed to Philadelphia to express in person the love and esteem which all who know them feel. The visit was entirely unexpected, and the guests trooped in by two's until their hosts were almost The visitors carried with them a magnificent silver chop dish to give tangible expression of the sentiments entertained by themselves and other friends in Rochester, toward those who while separated from us are not divorced. A joyous reunion ensued, and the whole affair as Mr. Searle says, "Made Mr. Hutchings and his family feel homesick and happy. overcome. “I A Boost for Radiant Fire can't say enough for them" is the tribute Mr. H. P. Brewster, President of the Rochester Savings Bank pays the Radiant Fire Heaters distributed by the Domestic Sales Department of this Company. Mr. Brewster has four installed in his home and speaks in no uncertain. terms of their worth. "I wouldn't take $500 apiece for them if I knew I couldn't buy others. They are odorless and give instantaneous heat which are two big points in their favor. I returned from an automobile ride the other night chilled to the bone, and in five minutes after a heater was lighted I was thoroughly warm. They are wonders and I wouldn't be without them." In advertising our goods we try to avoid superlatives, but when a customer like Mr. Brewster feels this way, we feel justified in passing it along. Wanted A Healthy Family SEVER EVERAL years ago the slogan SAVE THE BABIES was first heard. Ayear or two later people began to talk about saving the health of the mothers. Today people are beginning to understand the importance of preserving the health of the workers. The healthy family is the present ideal sought. What does the family need for health? A good clean place to live, with fresh air, sunshine and a place to play; enough good food of the right sort to make one feel like working and like playing; and a little more than one actually needs for his own necessities and that of his family so that something may be saved for the rainy day. FRESH AIR, SUNSHINE, GOOD FOOD AND SAFE WATER When people, especially children, are ill usually a part of the treatment consists in giving them plenty of fresh air and sunshine. In hospitals sun parlors or solariums are often available for use of the patients. Today in many schools, children are being weighed to see if they are as heavy as they ought to be for their age and height. If they weigh ten per cent less than they should they are put under the care of a special teacher who tells them what to eat and what to do to weigh more. If they weigh seven per cent less than they should they are watched. The teacher talks the situation over with them and very often with the mothers also, but she wants the children themselves to know just what they should do to improve their condition. Each week when the children are weighed each one is required to tell what they have done which has made them gain in weight and what they have done which is not good for them. In one instance when the children has just finished their "Consultation" a teacher very well known to them, The cut on the cover is from a share of this Company's 7% Preferred Stock. Do you own one? but who was very thin came into the room. One small boy said in an audible whisper "Gee, but she is skinny" and another added "She drinks coffee for breakfast and sits up too late at night." The thin teacher laughed, but because some of the children were in her class and she was interested in their progress she submitted to being weighed, and to being questioned by them about her habits; Dow they found out she was doing all the things the children had learned "made people skinny." Through awakened interest, she "joined" their class; and kept the rules and as a result gained in weight and in her general physical condition. News of the experiment reached the homes. Thus work started for the benefit of the children reacted also to the benefit to parents and teachers. "It's Always Fair Weather-" OWN at West Station there's a congenial bunch of men that every now and then get together, as good fellows are wont to do, and have a regular party. During the summer they arranged corn and sausage roasts and when cold weather came along they just moved indoors and had cards, music and the like. Recently one of the bunch had a birthday. We violate no confidence when we say that it was Norman Westfall ("old man"), and that he was 52 years old. So by way of celebrating the occasion he arranged a bowling party at the Musius Bowling disported themselves right merrily.

MILLER "LOTH signs with the above leg- quantity of coal. Of course, in order CLOTH signs with the above leg of the bodies of our three-ton Coke trucks used for the domestic delivery of genuine Gas Coke, and have caused considerable comment. While similar advertising was used during 1919, it did not attract the attention that it has at this time. This is probably due to the fact that at this time more than ever before we are anxious to reduce our living ex penses. With Coke selling at $11.50 per ton, which is $2.05 less than anthracite coal, a three-ton load of coke would cost $6.15 less than a similar to save the $6.15, a ton of Coke would have to furnish the same service as the ton of coal. In this respect we do not hesitate to guarantee that a ton of our genuine Gas Coke will last at least as long as a ton of anthracite coal, providing our simple instructions regarding its use are followed. A great many of our satisfied users tell us we are too modest, and that a ton of coke will last longer than a ton of coal, but we prefer to have the customer get more than he expects for his money, rather than have him disappointed.
