Beautiful Columns You can bring to your new home the beauty, art, grace and dignity of the columns of ancient Athens and Rome by using Koll's Patent Lock Joint Columns. These columns and capitals are masterpieces of architecture—perfect in their classic pro- portions. Their mechanical construction is faultless. The lock joint makes it impossible for the staves to come apart. They are made of extra thick stock, perfectly seasoned, and are weather- proof, very strong and very durable. For interior uses Koll's Patent Lock Joint Columns are made of every variety of hard woods. We make a specialty of columns for pergolas and all garden uses.

BRACHVOGEL, M.E. THE value and significance of a tax-free alcohol have been so widely dis- cussed in the press and periodical literature of the entire country, that it is unnecessary to emphasize the great importance of the subject, especially to our agricultural and industrial interests. For years we have been far behind the nations of Europe in this regard, and in consequence our literature has been sadly lacking in authorita- tive works covei ing this phase of industrial activity This book was designed with the especial purpose of filling this want, and it is the latest and most comprehensive work of its kind which has been published in this country. Few in number are those to whom this book would not prove of interest and value. The farmer, the manufacturer, the power producer, the householder, will all find that denatured alcohol is of such impor- tance to them, that iis use and introduction will effect savings and economies which were hitherto impossi- ble of accomplishment.
