in Europe, and as birth certificates
must be presented before transports
are issued, this accounts for the re
quest. ' . i , .

THE USE OF KEROSENE
MEANS A COOL KITCHEN
Most women dread hot summer1
days when the kitchen becomes as
stifling as a furnace. It is plain,
hard drudgery' to hang over a coal
stove as the thermometer mounts
higher and higher. ; r "
Many women have fdund by put
ting in a kerosene stove that their
kitchens are kept cool and comfort
able even in the hottest days in sum
mer.' -,7 V .;-4 "
But the use of a good kerosene,
such as the Standard Oil Company's
Pearl Oil, has many other advan
tages ; than that ' of keeping , the;
kitchen cool. It is easy to handle far
easier than . either coal or wood.
Futhermore, it makes no dirt or dust
which must be cleaned up continual
ly. It lights at the touch of a match,
so there is no waiting for the fire to
come up. '-, .,.
. Pearl 6il burns up clean and pro-!
duceB no odor. It is refined and re
refined by a special process which
removes the impurities, Wherever
it is bought in the city, in the coun
try, in the mountains, or on the sea
shore, it is always the same-high
quality kerosene, Ft can be bought
everywhere in 5 gallon cans, or in.
bulk at a slight saving cost.
