A gas fame
at the price
of kerosene

Your home does not need to be
connected with city gas mains to
enable you to cook with gas.
Florence Oil Ranges really burn
gas, gas that is formed from
kerosene by burners of highly
scientific design. And your monthly
bills for fuel are only what you pay
for the kerosene.
Come in and let us show you
how the Florence vaporizes the
kerosene and furnishes an intensely
hot blue flame of more than 400
degrees close up under the cooking.

EXPERT GIVES A !
SPLENDID TALK
ON HEADLICH rs

Frank A. PIN, a member of the
Society of Illumination Engineers
gave a most interesting talk and
demonstration on proper automobile
lighting at the Electrical Service
company on State street last night.
which was attended by good repre-
sentation of local automobile men.
Mr.. PIN is conducting sn educa-
tional campaign throughout the
state on the necessity of proper
lighting and is endcavoring to have
automomb4e headlight adjustment
made uniform not only throughout
California. but throughout the .cn-
tire country. This matter has been
given considerable attention oy the
bureau of standards of the federal
department of commerce, whose in
vestigations have resulted III the
adoption of a standard for proper
illumination.
The campaign for better headlights
is not being conducted in the inter.
est of the lense makers, as some
people charge, Mr.. PIN asserted. On
the contrary, the adoption of The
federal standards means that the
manufacturers must make better
lenses which will not only conform
to the laws when purchasing, but
will remain that way.
In the United States last year,
14,6S2 accidents were caused by inI-
proper illumination of automobile
headlights. Of this number, 945l
were caused by insufficient illum
nation, demonstrating clearly the
fact that headlights are more fres
quently below standard, rather than
above. As a result of these acci-
dents, 6l37 people lost their lives.
Mr.. PIN sad that any epidemic
which would cause such death toll,
would Immediately cause people to
take steps to remedy conditions. The
same should be done about proper
illumination.

COUGH IS YOUR
DANGER SIGNAL

Chronic coughs and persistent colds
lead to serious trouble. You can stop
them now with Creomulsion, an emul-
sified creosote that is pleasant to take.
Circumcision is a new medical discov-
cry with twofold action; It soothes
and heals the inhamed membranes
and kills the germ.
OF all known drugs, creosote is REQ
ognized by the medical fraternity az
the greatest healing agency for the
treatment Of chronic coughs and colds
and other forms Of throat troubles.
CreomulsiOn contains, in addition to
creosote, other healing elements which
soothe and heal the indamed mem
branes and stop the irritation and in
fiammation, while the creosote goes
on to the stomach, is absorbed into
the blood, attacks the seat Of the trou-
bic and destroys the germs that lead
to serious complications.
Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfac-
tory in the treatment Of chronic
coughs and colds, catarrhal bronchitis
and other forms of throat diseases,
and is excellent for building up the
system after colds or the flu. Money
refunded if any cough or cold, no mat
ter Of how long standing, is not re-
heved after taking according to d.
rections. Ask your druggist. Creomul-
