" ' - YOU cannot be too careful in the choice of a soap for washing the skin. Some pecple seom to tbi"k that "any old soap" is pood enough so long as it will lather. This is a great mis take. The use of impure, poorly made soap is one of the chief causes of rough, chapped skin, especially among children. Many of the soaps offered and sold for toilet use are made from rancid fats and are scented with rank smelling chemicals and oils to cover their true character. THE value of a pure toilet ooap in keeping the skin in a clear, healthy condition cannot be over estimated. A good soap should be niadT from pure wholesome fats properly saponi fied and perfumed only with antiseptic healing oils, aud balsams. A wash wiih such a soap gives a delightful sense of invigoration and leaves the skin soft and firm, very different from the burning, smarting sensation caused by impure, poorly made soaps. ' OUR toilet soaps are selected with groat care. They are made from pure, wholesome fats and are delicately perfumed. They contain no excess of free alkali, so injurious to the skin, particularly the skin of children. We have given the subject of Toilet and Medicinal Soap a great deal of study mid feel con fident to advise you regarding the choice of soaps, particularly thope best suited fr persons with tender skin and for children. Our best soaps for general use cost 10c per cake or 25c per box of 3 cakes. We have more expensive soaps and also cheaper kinds at 5c per cake, 25c per box of 6 cakes of ABSOLUTELY PURE SOAP. ROSEBURG PHARMACY PRESCRIPTION DRUGGISTS PHONE 1621 OIL FOR SMUDGE POTSj Crude Oil as a Fuel Is Successful. not HAS TOO MUCH WATER P. J. O'tiarn, Assistant Pathologist, railed Htates Department of AKi'lcultllro (Jives Some CioiKl Advice. Walter C. Smith, representing the Union Oil Co., of San Kranclsco, was In Roseburg Thursday in tho Inter est of his company and to introduce "distillate," an oil considered bu peiiod to crude oil for use In smudge pots. Though no local agent was appointed In LhlB City, anyone dOBlr-, lug information about tho oil can call on the Churchill Hardware Co., of this city, who will cheerfully ex plain Its superior qualities ovor other oils for smudge purposes. Tho following article taken from the Medford Tribune will be of inter est to those seeking an orchard fuel: The time Is now near at hand when a decision must be reached concerning the kind of fuel which Is to be used for orchard heating in the prevention of frost Injury. For some time pas tagents have been selling Bevernl types of jiotsi and have contracted with many orchard lsts for large numbers, with the un derstanding that crude oil might be used as a fuel. It would seem that If any grower bought these pots and then contented himself with the statement that tank-run crude oil would burn in them, he has made a niitttnke. The average run of crude oil contnlns a considerable amount of water which has become mixed with the oil in pumping It from the wells to the storage tanks. Crude oil cannot be pumped directly through pipes. With the oil a cer tain amount of water must be pump ed into the pipes bo as to form a water lacket, and thlB water flows with the oil into the storage tanks. Crude oil may be used In connection with sawdust, shavlnga or anything that will give it body. Large wicks have also been used more or less successfully with cortain grades of on not running too hlch In the per centage of water mixed with It, . Last Year's Touts. During last vear a number of tests were made with some oil kindly donated by the fyuthern Pacific com pany and fnken from their storage tank t Ahlnnd. In almost everv case the oil pots did not burn more than an hour, nnd In mnnv cusps the uots boiled over In less than half an hour and extinguished the flnme. These tests were made In the Fresno. Trantmnn nnd a home-made conical shnned not. pnrt In no enso wns there anv marked difference In the burning of the oil. In tho mnttor of rnlHlng the temnornturo. which is tho Im portnnt thing, crude oil seemed to be a failure in the above tests. It is verv trim that Rome samnleR hitrno'l TOILET SOAPS bettor than others, which, no doubt, was due to tho fact that they wero not takou or drawn from the tanks nt the same time, and came from dif ferent levels. Recently a few tests were male of oil which had been furnished by agents selling pots. The oil camo from five-gallon cases, or cans, and it would bo nuturul to suppose that this oil would prove more satisfac tory than the ordinary tnnk run. However, after burning a short time, nnd consuming only a portion of the oil, tho flnme wns extinguished by tho oil boiling over. Furthermore, in order to light the pots it wna found necessary to use gnsoline as a starter. Rven tho agontB In demon strating the pots usod gnsoline. Makes a Test. Yesterday I made testB of crude oil and 28 degreo distillate Those tests wero made on the vacant ground near the Rogue River Valley depot. ...... iiiuiroaru u HIUH- ber of Interested people. In ranking tho tostB a. gallon oach of tank run crudo oil and 28 degree distillate wero used. Instead of employing tho patent typea of oil pots, two - ten pound lard pallB purchased from th Kconomy moat ninrkot wero used. Exactly ono gnllon of each fuel was poured into ench pnll and Ignltfd. It wns necessary to use gasoline to start the' crude oil, but tho dlstillnto Ignited rendlly by saturating a small piece of paper aud throwing It, light ed. Into it. The experiment began nt :44 a.m. nnd nt 9:19 a.m., or after 35 mln uteB. tho crude oil pot went out! the dlstlllnte burned until 12:24 p.m., or for 3 hours and 40 minutes. While the crudo oil was burning It splut tered and boiled In such a way that much of It wns wasted; some of the oil being thrown at least two feet away from tho pot, bo that, after burning 35 minutes, fully one-third of the oil wns gone, showing that had It burned until the oil was used It would have lasted only 1 hour and 4 5 minutes. The distillate, there fore, lasted more' than twice as long, and even nt double tho price of crude oil, la moro economical, llowever, it was impossible to make It burn In order to determine exactly how long one gallon of crude oil would lust. Tho Distillate. " In the case of the distillate, which burned 3 hours nnd 40 mlutes, there wns no perceptible difference In the flame at any time during the entire experiment. It burned very steadll" at all times nnd showed no evidence of going out until the last drop was burned. Tho flame was lust as good when tho level of the distillate was very near the bottom of the can as when It wns first lighted. The amount of heat given off, or the temperature rise within n given space , wns not measured, but the difference In the hentliig effect of the crude oil nnd the distillate was quite porcepti- ' ble. From an oxnerlmontnl point of view, the dlstlllnte Is a perfect fuel Tor burning In smudge pots and will glvo tho lenst amount of trouble of any of the crude fuelB.
