A sharp distinction is drawn be-
tween ordinary kerosene and the
specially distilled product of the
Standard Oil Com pany of New York
in the trademarked named-Socony
Kerosene. There is probably no great
er mistake than the belief which still
prevails in some quarters, that all
kerosene is the same, when the truth
is, the grades differ as widely as the
grades of sugar, or te ), or coffee.
Inferior grades of Kerosene give of
smoke and odor when used in the
lamp or i'm the oil stove. The distilla-
ton process that produces Socony
Kerosene gives clear burning pro-
duct which has maximum efficiency
in lighting power and heat units.
The trademark name, Socony, Is an
assurance that a gallon Of that oil will
give service down To the last drop, 10
perfect is the uniformity. And the
saving effected by the use OF kerosene
AS compared with coal is a matter 10
be borne in mind. adv.

In the Dark.

One of the mails from thenorth
Tuesday brought us a letter in
forming us that illegal liquor sell
ing was going on Saturday nights
that it was being sold by the
quart; that the writer knows who
the violator of the law is-knows
on what road he lives-has evi-
dence enough to put him where
the dogs couldn't bite him. But
as the writer forgot to sign his
name to the letter, and forgot to
tell us the name of the person,
selling the liquor, the fellow is
safe as far as we are concerned.
We take this opportunity, how
ever, to say.to the writer of the
communication: IF you know as
much as you say you do, place
your information in the hands Of
the District Attorney, and we
promise you he'll do the rest"

home folks together are as strong
as in the case of any other boy,

make the best possible use of ev-

Both he and his parents were
looking forward to a home reun-

last year or more, and who has

The New County Atlas.

The engravers have completed
the plates for the new atlas of
the county, and the work is now
in the publishers hands.
The atlas is made up with a
title page, an index page of
townships and post Offices, a
page of these plates of Pennsyl-
vania, showing the Judicial, Sen
atorial and Congressional dis
tricts of which Fulton County is
a part, full page map of the
county, and a map on a large
scale, of each township on a
separate page, location of houses,
with names of residents, roads,
schools, churches, and much 9TH
er details are shown. Elevations
above sea level, of various places
throughout the townships are
shown in figures. The atlas will
be about IA by 16 inches in size
and will be handsomely and SER
vicably bound. 1t will be a fund
of valuable information that our
citizens, both old and young will
be fortunate to get, and that at
a price less than one-fourth the
cost of the map published more
than forty years ago. 1t should
be found in every home in the
county within the next fe W
weeks.

BOLTING MEALS.
Little Talks 90 Health and Hygiene by
Samuel G. Dixon, NJ. D., IL. D.,
Commissioner Of Health.

COlllIlllSSlO1eI Vi HedIlll.
Man is an omnivorous animal
and cannot afford to permit him
self to be hurried at meals. 1t
is impossible to bolt such food as
the average person eats without
injuring the health.
With the animal kingdom the
sense of smell, as we'll as the
sense of taste, enters largely in
to the enjoyment of the meal.
This should be the case with man.
kind. 0dor and taste, if prop
erly exercised, have a tendency
to stimulate the fluids essential
to proper digestion.
Chewing the food a reasonable
length of time should assist US in
enjoying the taste and flavor.
One of the essentials to good d.
gestion is to eat those things
which we relish unless the con-
trary is indicated by well estab-
lished scientific and empirical
knowledge. Civilization has dull-
ed our instincts in this respect
but it survives to a certain de-
gree in our relish for certain food
stuffs. This relish should not be
mistaken for the inordinate fond
ness for certain things. Every
one can distinguish between an
occasional intemperateindulgence
and a natural taste and relish.
The proper flow of the diges-
tive fluids is essential to good d.
gestion. A liberal portion of
fruit is suggested by most diet
itians and it is a common belief
that fruit is a wholesome food.
1t should be remembered how
ever, that acid fruits are often
irritating to the mucus membrane
and the habit if long continued
on a naturally weak digestion or
with babies, it will still further
interfere with digestion. Almost
everyone who is using grapefruit
or other acid fruit for food,
makes a mistake by eating it be-
fefore breakfast or at any time
on an empty stomach. 1t should
be eaten after breakfast instead
OF before as is the habit.

A Close Shave.

Last Sunday Harvey Unger of
Ayr township, in his six-cylinder
Buick, took his sister Alice (Mrs.
David Connor) over to Fort Lou
don. Mrs. Conner had been call
ed home to attend the funeral of
her mother, and she was taken
to Fort Loudon last Sunday to
get a train for her home in Hag-
erstown.
Harvey's wife, his father, (Mr
John Unger), and Mrs. Nettie
Bivens accompanied Harvey and
Alice to Fort Loudon, and every
thing passed very pleasantly un-
til returning home, they attempt
ed to swing around the Horse
shoe Curve on the west side of
Cove mountain on the Lincoln
Highway, when Harvey found
his steering gear unmanageable,
and in spite of his efforts to the
contrary, the car veered off to
the lower side of the road, and
was just hanging by a thread
when the driver got it stopped.
1t required the assistance of Gar
ageman Cline to get the car back
onto the road, and it is marvel
Gus that there was not a very
serious accident.
Now, as to the cause: The af-
ternoon was just warm enough
to make mud in the road where
the sun hit it fair, and cold
enough TO freeze in the shade.
The car had picked up mud which
froze to the steering rod, and
made it impossible to make a
short turn. 1t might be well for
motorists to keep a watch out
for just this kind of trouble dur
ing the spring months.
