Every mail brings money from outside
friends, and the members of the solie-

very gratifying. The bags for the
candy are all made and the candy is

Standard Specifications
for Gasoline

The United States Government standard
specifications for gasoline are based on boiling
points-not gravity. Drafted as they were by
impartial Government experts they are gener-

They insure an efficient and satisfactory gaso-
