IMPROVED LIQUID
FUEL STOVES ARE
CLEAN-ODORLESS
rSTOVES USING KEROSENE, THE
SAFE HOUSEHOLD FUEL, IM
PROVED IN EFFICIENCY AND
APPEARANCE.
Users of liquid fuel stoves, es
pecially in communities where it is
more or less common practice to re
fer to any liquid fuel stove as an oil
stove, should be mindful of the fact
that the more volatile the fuel the
jjreater the care that should be exer
cised in handling it.
The use of liquid fuel stoves is al
most universal where gas is unavail
able, at least during the summer
months, and many housewives now
use them throughout the entire year,
because of their efficiency and clean
niness. The fuel most extensively
used is kerosene, which has become
known as the safe household fuel.
Gasoline is also used to some extent.
Kerosene is commonly know is
"‘coal oil,” and kerosene stoves are
(correctly called oil stoves. Gasoline
: stoves, however, should not be con
fused with them for gasoline requires
more careful handling.
The wide use of automobiles has
: somewhat allayed the fears of house
wives who formerly were prejudiced
. against gasoline for cookjng, but this
very fact is fraught with danger un
less the fact that gasoline vaporizes
at ordinary temperatures is constant
ly kept in mind, for this vapor is
i«xtrmely explosive.
It is a significient fact that at least
one of the large institutions devoted
to the testing of household devices
will not approve an ysuch device
that uses gasoline as a fuel. Users
of gasoline for any purpose whether
it be as a fuel, as a cleaning fluid,
or what not, should remember that
if it is allowed to stand in an uncov
ered vessel it will vaporize quickly,
und unless there is plenty of ventila
tion to diffuse this vapor or carry it
.awawy into the open air, the striking
iof a mutch is likely to prove ex
-tremely hazardous.
.Kerosene, on the other hand, does
not vaporize at ordinary tempera
tures an dis not inflamable unless
first vaporized by intense heat, or
by a wick which“breaks up” the kero
sene into small particles so that va
poration can be started by holding a
lighted match to the wick. A light
ed match thrown into a vessel of
uerosene will not ignite the kerosene,
tout the match will be put ouu when
iit 05 immersed in the liquid.
'The modern oil stove bears little
resemblance to the smoky, smelly
wUtnve off early years; in fact, the im
jmrqyements in oil stoves in the first
jv ars of this certtury are almost
us remarkable as the improvements
In automobiles. Quarter of a cen-J
fcury ago both the automobile and the
•oil. stave were more or less inclined
:to be “craky” or at least to stutter
i«r sputter and hesitate as if reluctant
.to start and keep going. Today the
motor car that does not keep going
ca ithe exception instead of the rule,
and this is equally true of modern
»oxl stoves.
Correctly operated, there is com
paratively little difference between
cooking ability of the better oil
-stoves and gas stoves; in fact, it is
-clairfted for some of the most ad
vanced designs in oil stove burners
•that they are as fast as gas, and it is
demonstrable that steaks can be
friend as quickly and as perfectly
,it»n a good oil stove as on a gas stove.
As to smoke and soot—it should
ibe remembered that cooking utensils
-*re not entirely free from soot even
whoa cooking with gas. This soot
is due to cold utensils being placed
• directly in the flame before combus
tion has been completed. The cool
ing effect of the utensil prevents
aome of the fuel from burning com
pletely, carbon deposits itself on
.4he utensil.
instead of smoke and soot being
‘'•‘.necessary evils” as some users of old
fadhmoed oil stoves may think, it is
I’afaCt.'ihat a certain type of burner
x now used on oil stoves produces
tlf ii i r heat than any other heat
med in cook stoves except electricity.
The only positive and absolute guar
antee against smoky and sooty pots
and pans is to keep out of the flame,
no matter what kind of flame it may
be—-€oal, wood, gas, gasoline or
kemsene. This has been done by
<Bolne manufacturers of oil stoves by
the long chimney type of burn
nera .which are so designed that no
Flame touches ihe cooking utensils.
With the long chimney burner, com
bustion is entirely completed within
the chimney and the flame itself does
not within several inches ?f cooking
otensils, but in spite of this fact, the
heat It produces is even
greater than with other types of oil
stoves.
There are many types of efficient
oil stoves, some using wicks, some
so-called wickless types that use as
bestos collars or lighting rings which
function as wicks, and others that
use no wick but require special prim
ing with a second fuel, usually gaso
line, to preheat the burner so that
it will vaporize the kerosene.
The long chimney type of burner
referred to above is of the wick type.
Many years of experience and ex
perimenting have proved that kero
sene can be best vaporized with a
cotton wick which absorbs the kero
sene readily and carries it to the top
of the wick where it is “broken up”
by the wick into minute particles
which vaporize and burn instantly at
the touch of a lighted match. The
cotton wick is economical of oil and
under ordinary conditions, will last
a year or longer. The life of a
burner using a wick, is always much
longer, because it is not necessary to
heat the burner to so high a temper
ature to vaporize the oil. In addi
tion, the wick burner is the type of
kerosene burner from which it is
easiest to remove the carbon which
always forms to some extent when
kerosene is burned. This carbon re
mains on the top of the wick from
which it can be easily removed with
either a cloth or a patented wick
cleaner.
Ex-Service Men Are

Meeting In Dublin
Every ex-service man who con
tributed to the World War is invited
to a mass meeting of the Twelfth
Congressional District which will be
held in Dublin on the night of April
11th under the auspices of Laurens
County Post No. 17, of which J. W.
Barton is Post Commander.
There are many interesting fea
tures to the program and every ex

is urgently requested to attend this
meeting at which Col. Homer Wat
kins, former Departmental Comman
der, will be the principal speaker at
the evening program.
Departmental Commander Emory
Bas, and Departmental Adjutant Joe
Carr have accepted the invitation to
attend this meeting and will also ap
pear on the brilliant program of
speakers.
Not only are the former soldiers,
who live in the Twelfth District, in
vited to be present in Dublin, but
their wives, mothers and sisters, who
are elligible to membership in the
American Auxiliary, are also invited.
As thej-e are many matters of vi
tal concern to the ex-service men,
which are now being handled by the
’ Veterans Service Bureau, Major
Bloodsworth has arranged to be in
Dublin all day April 11th and es
tablish temporary office at the Amer
ican Legion headquarters. Those
who have matters which they would
like to discuss with Major " Bloods
worth may see him any time during
the day and have personal conference
with him. He is the official head of
the Veterans Service Bureau.
From the program which is now
being arranged it is apparent that
the Dublin meeting will be of profit
and pleasure and arrangements are
being made by the Laurens County
Post to give hospitable entertain
and cordial reception to all who at
tend.

\ Trip To Atlanta Not
Necessary To Hasten
I Receipt Os Checks
Atlanta, Ga., March 31, 1927.
| Applicants for lonas on Adjusted Ser
, vice certificates applying personally
• to the Georgia Regional Office of the
1 U. S. Veterans Bureau expecting by
his procedure to receive checks in
person are doomed to dosappoint
ment. Arrangements for making
loans on adjusted service certificates
by the U. S. Veteran’s Bureau do not
permit the personal delivery to the
veterans of checks but these arrange-
I ments are based on the idea that
most of the applications will be re
ceived through the mails and even
j though personal applications are
( made checks are to be delivered only
, | through the mails. “It is manifest,
I therefore,” points out J. G. C. Bloods
1 worth, Jr., Director of the Veterans
Service Office of the State of Geor
gia, “That a trip to Atlanta is by no
means necessary or desirable and is
; calculated to in no way hasten the
receipt of checks by applicants for
loans. All veterans are, therefore,
urged to use the mails in making ap
plications.”
“Blank notes and certificates of
1 from all posts of the American
identification can be secured by April
Legion, Charters of the Disabled
Veterans, and Postmasters. Inform
ation as to the amount of money that
can be borrowed on a certificate is
contained on the back of the blank
note. The note should be filled out |
for th amount to be borrowed, the j
certificate of identification executed
and togehter with the adjusted ser
vice certificate mailed to the Georgia
Regional Office o fthe U. S. Vet
erans’ Bureau 79 Pine Street, N. E.,
Atlanta, Ga. We advise sending
these papers by registered mail.
“LIFE’S PATHWAY”
Life is not a bed of roses,
Thorns and thistles are on our way
But we must never be discouraged,
Keep on trying day by day.
Yes, we all have disappointments,
Death and sickness we must share;
But if we do the things we should,
Then our path will seem so clear.
