general investigation; that they test it's mer-
ITS and Its qualities for themselves, and then
finding las they surely willy that it IL laden
with results that will be beneficial to all per-
sons In every city, village and farmhouse in
our land. we respectfully ask that they lend
their influence in our behalf to aid In It's ad-
vancement and circulation. It has no often
sive smell whatever, and is
WARRANTED TO BE NON-EXPLOSIVE.
It burns without any smoke, and gives softer
and far more brilliant light than any other oil
by gaslight. The Ingredients that compose It
are simple and cheap, and can be procured in
any city or country village in the United
States. A gallon of the oil can be made In
I'VE minutes, and whole barrel in less than
half an hour. Wherever it has been intro
duced it takes the place Of kerosene and other
burning fluids, for the following reasons:
Because It does not cost half as much; 1t can
be made anywhere by anybody; 1t will never
eXplOde; 1t will burn in any lamp. with or
without chimney; 1t will not smoke the Chin
ney; 1t will give no bad odor or Offensive
smell; 1t will not soil clothes If spilled upon
them; It gives clear and steady light, never
equaled by gas; 1t will burn one-fourth longer
than the best kerosene made; 1t does not
weaken the eyes and lungs, as kerosene or
coal oil do, by continued use. Aud, flnally It
is cheaper and better in every respect than
any other oil ever invented. @*@-1~s1@

SOAP.
SHERMAN'S
Compound Bar S0ap

Costs but four cents per pound. No washing
machines are required; no pounding is neces-
sary, and usually but very little, If any, rub
bling is required. 1t is easily made, boy or
girl OF fifteen years of age, by going according
10 the directions, can make 100 lbs. in one
hour. The ingredients which compose it can
be obtained In any village.
When the Soap is made il can be readily cut
into bars, and is ready for use We have de-
voted great deal of time and labortO invent
a soap that would take the dirt and grease
out of clothes without damage to them or
without having to rub, pound, ETC., to make
them clean. All that is required with this
soap Is simply to soak them in suds of this
soap short time, and then to boil from ten
to twenty minutes, then rinse, blue and hang
out and they will be perfectly clean and white,
not yellow, as some soap leaves the clothes.
The article itself is the hest recommend it
can have, and upon its own merit we are
willing to let it stand. We are confident that
DO person after testing its quality will be
WITHOUT the family right to make and use this
excellent soap.
In order that all may be benefited by this
soap, and none, however poor they may be,
need be prevented from using it and enjoying
Its benefit, we have placed the price of family
rights at the low sum of ONE DOLLAR EACH,
and the family right for making and using the
CENTENNIAL ILLUMINATING OIL at the small
sum Of ONE DOLLAR AND FIFTY CENTS
EACH.
