REFINED PARAFFINE.
Its Great vari ty of Household Uses.

No product Of petroleum has great
or variety of household uses than re-
fined paratiine. This is because IL
cxcels any other known product in the
ideal quality of its service and its
economy Of price.
AS housekeepers become acquainted
with It's virtues they find that moth
ing else is as clean, or as pure, or as
tasteless, or as odorless. Moreover
it is not affected by air, acid or water
Prominent among the many uses to
which it is now applied are, for sealing
in laundry, by rubbing on irons and
mixing with hot starch, for coating
wooden vessels preserving eggs, flow
ers and autumn leaves, for polishing
floors and making wax flowers.
In sealing cans the paratfinc wax
should be melted and Il layer about
one-cighth of an inch thick poured
over the top of the preserve, allowing
it to stand until the paratfinc becomes
hard when it will form sealing abso.
lutely air tight. No other covering is
necessary. When the preserve is to
be used the paratiine should be loosen
ed, by running u knife around the
edge, after which the wax can be easi-
ly removed. Jcllies and fruits sealed
in this manner retain their natural
delicious favors and are etfectually
protected against mold and insects.
In scaling bottles the cork should
be forced into the neck of the bottle
in order to form a shallow cup on the
top, then ill this cup with melted
paratfine allowing it to harden.
In the laundry about one-half a tea
cup Of paraffine shavings put into a
boiler of hot, water gives a dainty
whitcness to the linen and other wash
fabrics. 1t will not injure the most
delicate fabrics and by its use the
family washing can be done in about
one-half the usual time, and it saves
the necessity of hard rubbing and
scrubbing. Irons can be kept smooth,
bright and clean by rubbing them on
a piece of paratfine covered with mus
lin and luster will be given to the
linen by mixing small piece of par
affine with the hot starch. Laundry
tubs, ice cream freezers, in fact all
wooden vessels, when coated with par
attine will last much longer than Or

Franklin.

Lovina NJ. Decker, wife of George
Decker, who lives three miles south
of Barberton, died suddenly at her
home of paralysis after having been

She was born in Bucks county,
Pennsylvania, Oct. 2, 1926. On. Sept.

to George Decker. They removed to
Ohio in the spring of 1867, where they
have since resided. She died on May

2 days. On the evening preceding her
death she retired in her usual spirits.
At am. her husband awoke to find
he in II state of Inconsistencies. Med
ical aid was Immediately summoned,

GOOD
In Any Direction,
Any Line.
Kind of Transfers Coun-
Gil Wants.
Five Minute Cars May
be Run.
Change In Building Per-
NIT Ordinance.
Much Routine Legislation Dis.
posed of by Council.

Street car transfers without restric-
tions except as to time are wanted
by Councilman Joseph Winum. He
and others spoke of this in Monday
nights meeting of the City Fathers.
Transfers are now given from any
line of the n. o. I. Co., but the pas
sengcr musr designate the line to
which lie wishes 10 go. 1t is to this
that objection is made.
Mr.. Walker also said in response
that he did not wish TO have the APP
pearancc of standing up for the ~.
o. r. company because he was one
of it's employees but he could say of his
own knowledge that within short
time the central transfer point for all
cars will be at the Hotel Buchtel and
the Hamilton building. When this
change was made he thought the
trouble over transfers would be elm
mated.
Mr.. Walker also said in response
to an inquiry that the company was
preparing a schedule for 5-minute
cars on the main line, to be run at
all busy hours of the day, at least.
He stated further that there are now
cars at the barn closed on one side
to prevent passengers getting off on
the double tracks, and that they would
be in use in short time.
Mr.. Sorrick brought up the matter
of dogs running at large and Presi-
dent Rooms referred it to the Chief
of Police with instructions to abate
the nuisance.
The ordinance amending the building
permit ordinance and reducing the
price of permits to 20 cents, this to be
paid by the applicant instead of by
the city, was passed.
Several bond ordinances We're pass
ed. Clerk Isbell urged the advantage
of fixing the dates of the bond sales
for the same time in order that more
buyers would be attracted and better
| prices secured.
The following ordinances were pass
ed:
TO issue $1,000 in bonds for the i'm
provement of Kolb st.
TO levy II special tax for the Kolt
| st Improvement.
10 issue 5000 in bonds for n sewer
in district No. 0.
To re-establsh the grade on Soutl

To sweep North Summit ST., Rev

To re-establish the grade on Flower

my profession as mining engineer and
geologist have given special atten-
tion to earth formations, particularly
anti-clines. Anti.clne' Is a technical
word applied to certain convex earth
formations TO the geologist, at least
TO this geologist pointing to himself,)
this particular formation was ma
lures sign that In the bowels of the
earth was stored for mans use, in
quantities so vast as to be beyond or
dinary comprehension, product that
if it only could be reached would
solve the important problem of heat
and light.
This belief became my religion. In
my waking hours it never left my
mind. At night l dreamed of it. Ev-
erything else in my profession ceased
to interest me.
ITO unlock this storchouse of nature;
to be the instrument through which
man should come into possession of
this great gift became my one am-
bition, my one thought"
The fire of enthusiasm was in the
captains eyes now; his cheeks were
flushed; he got up from his chair and
walked across the room. He was again
living over those years of ambition, of
hope. He was the scientist now. He
had forgotten the millions of wealth
he had unlocked for himself, and was
thinking only of the value of his dis
covery to science and to the world.
He was splendid. l had seen the
Lucas gusher spouting it's siX-inch
stream of oil 100 feet into the air and
had thought only of the millions of
dollars it meant to the man after whom
it was named, and to Others Here
was that man, forgetting that he had

the riches he had added to the world.

resumed:

that the Robinson Bros. Co. and Mr.
Geo. j. Renner were doing the work
and the city had nothing to do with
it but to oversee the job.
Residents of Byers ave petitioned
for a sewer.
Mr.. Walker complained that West

for many years, and residents paying
taxes, had not received attention; that
there were terrible holes there and in

The granting of a pardon to
Col w. A. Neal, convicted of
failure to turn over to his sue
ces.or at the proper time the
assets of his office. tho superin-
tendency of the penitentiary, will
be q surprise to no one. With
his record in the matter of par
dons it was not to be expected
that Gov. McSweeney could with
stand the pressure that was so
strongly e1erted in this case, but
1t Is safe to say that in pardoning
Col. Neal the governor has done
thst which will meet with more
general approval than is usually
given his exercise of that power.
The conviction of Col. Neal was
notable. 1t afforded much salts
faction to those who desire to see
the law enforced against high and
low alike yet many of this class
entertained feeling of pity for
Col. Neal, regarding him as a
man shorn of his former political
power and deserted by those he
had assisted when he was deem Cd
the "Aark Hanna of South Car
olina politics. Viewing it from
this standpoint it is possible to
condone the pardon while regret
ting that tho lesson of his convic-
ton must necessarily be thereby
partially counteracted. .--TheState.
