Convenience, comfort and economy Wherever, you go — city, country, mountains, seashore — there you will find Pearl Oil, the Standard Oil Company’s kerosene. Gives the con venience of gas without the dust and dirt of coal or wood. Easy to handle. With a good oil cookstove you will cook in comfort all year 'round. Bakes, broils, roasts, toasts—economically. Lights at the touch of a match. No waiting for fires to come up, no un necessary work, no waste. Concentrates a steady heat on the coojdng—leaving the kitchen cool and comfortable. . Pearl Oil is refined and re-refined by our special rocess which removes the impurities. It is clean uming. Pearl Oil is for sale in bulk by dealers every where. It is the same high-quality kerosene aa the Peat%Oil sold in five-gallon cans. There is a saving by buying in bulk. Order by name—Pearl Oil.

The word “ Joint'' as applied to Iniquitous nnd other reaorta cornea from the Joint o f bamboo from which an opium pipe la made. “ Dope" waa originally the slang term for opium— hence “ dope” and “ dopy."
