SIX ROSEBURG NEWS-REVIEW. THURSDAY, JULY 9, 1925. Measured by Miles- Or, What Price Qasoline?" The number , of miles you get from your motor the quality ' of its performance the cost of its upkeep all these are part of the price of gasoline. That's why Union is the most economical gasoline on the mar ket because its qual ity is highest. Yet its price is never more than that of any good gasoline. And Union Gaso line is non-detonating. Which means that its power-impulsesare not hammer-like blows. They follow through! This means much to a motor. It means, for one thing, quick-starting. Also, swift, vibrat ionless pick-up, and even, gliding speed. If a better gasoline were possible it would be made by the Union Oil Company. And sold wherever you see the sign, "Union Gas oline." At .Union Oil service stations and in dependent dealers of the first class everywhere. Union Noti'D donating Gasoline Union Oil Company ol California .Abo PiWhccm of Arisio Molur Oil " A 4.

"The pipe line department of the General Petroleum Corporation has a mileage of over 400 miles in Cali fornia, and last year handled over 25.OOO.0uO barrels of oil. In pump ing it over the mountains it is necessary to have stations which heat the oil In the winterso that it will flow more freely. Oil Is routed and dispatched through the pipe lines in much the same man ner that trains are dispatched on the railroad. "In this connection, a recent re port showed that in connection with its pipe lines, the General Petroleum Corporation operates approximately 1.000 miles of tele phone and telegraph wire, with oiMl telephones and six telegraph offices. With the aid of these in struments and close observation of tank gauges, the operators and engineers are able to operate the pumpa In synchronism, and the dispatcher Is able to keep In touch with every barrel of ojl In transit."

Almost every home has Its own well, pump or spring. It Is up to the householder to see that the water Is pure; If It Is contaminated, U rarvly affects moro than a few people. Towns and cities supply water to hundreds or tliotiminila of peo ple. The home which gets city water-pupply run not Itself look after the purity ot the water, but must rely on the city lo see that nothing harmful comes with it. One of the flint dullex of a city Is lo see that the water which It furnishes it citizens, U not dangerous. There aro three great water- borne diseases; typhoid, dysentery and cholera. In past ages, before attenton was paid to the Import ance of clean water, recurring epidemics of these diseases deci mated cities almost everywhere. Long before their Infective na ture was recoKiiixed, It was found that by providing pure water, the epidemics could he stopped, and that the d luetics grew much less or even disappeared. The leanon was learned; hut even now vigil ance Is the price of freedom 'from dinense. Two things must h done hv .every city providing water. The j first Is to pick Us source ho that, i nn far as possible, H shall he free from all likely contamination. This means that not only ahull the water he pure nn a iimihI thing, hut that It must be controlled so that no filth can get Into It.

But over here, something is simmering gently in a saucepan. Another pan is bub bling vigorously at the lid. Tomorrow morning's prunes are stewing leisurely between whiles. Dinner is being prepared and it must be watched, too. l or each different dish requires a different method, a different heat. One fire will not do for all. ' That's one reason why electric ranges, with their instantly regulated and easily controlled cooking temperatures, from a sizzling, searing heat in one place to a just-keep-it-alive glow in another, are so favored by good cooks. Electricity makes good cookery better, and easier. And that, plus the surprising economy of electrical cooking, is a reason why near ly one thousand eight hundred kitchens in the territory served by this company are now fuel-less and ash-less. Nearly one thousand eight hundred electric ranges have made them so. Ask your nearest dealer to show you several models. Convenient payments, i you like. 0 THE CALIFORNIA ORKOON I'OWFjL COMPANY
