What Jot;tor Pierce Has Pone;U

It has always seemed to me that
Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo,. N, Y.,, should
be placed near the top when a list of
America's great benefactors Is writ
ten. He' studied and conquered hu
man diseases', to; a degree that few
realize. " Whenever he found a rem-
edy that overcame disease, he at once
announced' it. in the newspapers and
told where it could foe bought at a
: small price. He did not follow the
usual custom of lieeping the ingre-
. dlents secret; so that the rich" only
could afford to buy the medicine, but
openly printed the name of. each roof
and herb ho used. And so today the
names of Dr. Pierce and his med
ic! nea are widely known, and .they
Btnnd for better health and tietter
citizenship. '-:'.

successful remedies is known as Doc

has ever enjoyed. It means bringing 300 leading' news

at least a million -people of the wonders of the Rogue
River valley and the glories of our greatest tourist asset,
Crater Lake. This publicity, moreover will extend where
it is 'most needed, in the heart of the densely populated
districts of the east and middle west. "

Test for
The third of a. series of three statements
; War needs made proniinisht the question of a standard test for gasoline. On July
, 31st, 1918, President Wilson ordered a committee appointed under the United
States Fuel Administration to establish' specifications and standards of test for gasr
oline supplied to the Government.' This committee consisted of the United States
Fuel Administration and representatives of th War and Navy Departments,, the
United, States Shipping Board, the Director General of Railroads, the Bureau of
Mines, and the Bureau of Standards. Standards were adopted for aviation gasoline
' (export, fighting and domestic) and for general motor use on land and sea.' , ' 'i
' The Gravity Test Discarded
i ' The Government's Committee on Standardi
sation of Petroleum Specifications stated in its
"report : "It will be noted that there are no grav
ity limitations in the specifications for aviation
gasoline,- nor in the specifications for motor
" gasoline which are given' later, for it has been,
. found that gravity is of little or no value in de
termining the quality of gasoline." The stand
ards adopted by the United States Government
are based on boiling points. ?.
Boiling Points the Real Test "
Gasoline is known to the refiner as one mem
ber of the petroleum family. He. distinguishes
teach member of the family, not by gravity, but
Dy bomng points : Oravtty is a fleeting stand
ard of test, but boiling points are .unchanging
irr their value and always determine tnc quality
of the product. Knowing them the refiner can
. krtp his product uniform and reliable. '
"N
storage by evaporation would be great.' , There
must be juBt enough low boiling points' to va
porize freely and give easy starting. The higher
boiling points are necessary for quick accelera
tion, high power and long mileage.
As combustion starts with the lowest boiling
points and flashes on through the gas, the con
tinuous chain of boiling points from the low
to the high Is necessary for instantaneous,
full-powered combustion. Only a straight-distilled,
all-refinery gasoline can have the contin
uous, uniform chain of boiling points. '

"for Gasoline '
iji'.What Is a Boiling Point?
1 1 'X A boiling point is the temperature at which'
s ' a liquid will begin to boil or vaporize.. "
' Y. In distilling a given quantity of gasoline the
,'tefiner. ascertains at what point each . 10 per
. cent will boil, until the entire quantity is evap
orated or distilled... In this way he determines
iswhat is known-as the initial boiling point, as
i' , well as all intervening boiling points in- the
chain, up to the maximum, high boiling point.
Boiling Points Tell the Story
Boiliner points determine the vaporizing and
' ' combustive qualities of gasoline. They decide
the action of the' gas developed from gasoline.
They arc the pnly true measure of gasoline-
..value... ... - ; .- ..

tinuous, uniform chain. There must not be too
