TOO MUCH OIL.
4 Shameful and Awful Waste of Ameri.
can Riches.
Philadelphia Press.

Just at the present time there is a
stagnation in the oil trade that has its
effect in every line of business in the
oil region. The pipe lines declare
their inability to manage the great
volume Of oil that is daily brought to
the surface. Ia consequence, tanks at
many of the wells are full and over
flowing, and the great illumination of
the world is running down the hillsides
and through the valleys 0! McKe can
county to waste, at the rate Of from
900 to 5000 barrels per day. In parts
of the region, in order to dispose of the
dangerous combustlble fluid, brooks
and streams in the valleys are damned
and the oil accumulated IN a body on
the surface of the water A number OF
men then gather about to prevent
the fire from communicating with the
wells or building in proximity, and the
oil is set ablaze. The fires are usually
made in daytime, so as not TO alarm
the community with vast fire during
the night. Occasionally, however, the
pools of oil take fire by accident, and
are sometimes lighted by malicious
persons. A number of derricks and
tanks of oil have been burned along the
lines Of narrow-gauge railroads which
pass through the actively developed
portion of the field The fires were
created by sparks from the locomotives.
In several instances, ! understand,
persons who have sustained losses in
this way have proceeded against the
railroad company tor damages. The
cases are now pending in .he courts
of the county. The causes of the oil
backing up in such immense quanti-
ties in the producing region is attributed
TO the excess of the supply over the de-
mand, primarily, and the lack of fac
ilities for transportation and tankage,
by the pipe line companies. At the
present time the United and Tidewater
Pipe companies have about 100000
barrels capacity Of iron tankage in this
district attached 70 the lines, and it is
claimed tina. this is most entirely oc-
cupied. Iron tankage connected with the

Healthy Women.

A writer, in urging the necessity for
more attention to physical culture,
notes as a favorable sign the fact, that
the pale and interesting" type of te-
male beauty is fast losing lis popularity,
and that men Of position and influence
are declaring for the healthy standard
of womanly beauty, such rs was ever
recognized by Greece and Rome. This
is certainly an important and happy
change IN public taste, and already the
effects of 1t are to be detected in an inn
proved condition of feminine health;
toI it will hardly be denied that on an
average the women of to-day are phys
ica!ly superior to what they were few
years ago when tight lacng and similar
destroying customs prevailed. Young
women take more exercise than they
formerly did. They ride and walk more,
and are more in the open AIR. They
have not the insane dread of the suns
rays which they once had. But there
Is much room for improvement yet.
Many homes are still presided over by
lhyahd wives and mothers who furnish
constant spectacle of sadness and
misery to their families and friends, and
are subject of unlimited expense to
their husbands. In such homes the
greatest of all blessings that could be
hoped for would be the health of the
mistress restored but too often it is
the one blessing which never comes.
American homes, more than any other
perhaps in the world, have been sad
dened by sickly women. If this shall
be so no longer, it viii be a great bless
ing to the nation. And the remedy is
simple. American men are as strong
and healthy as those of other nations
there is no good reason why American
women should not be. All that is need
ed Is proper attention to dress and
exercise. Let women dress, as men do,
so that their bodies shall not be squeezed
and pressed together, but have free room
Tor motion, and let them get out into
the air and sunshine, as men do, and
exercise their bodies, and the race of
American women will not become ex-
tlnct, as 1t once threatened to do. On
the contrary, it will be improved, built
up and beautified, and a time will
shortly come when healthy man will
not have to hunt whole country over
to lind healthy wife. We are on the
right track now; all that is needed is to
60 ahead, and the results will soon be
manifest. Women will die to be in the
fashion; therefore, let the fashion OF
female beauty be vigor and strength,
and all the ladies in the land will be
swinging dumb bells, practicing archery,
riding on horseback, and walking as FOR
wager, but they will be in style.

the pipe companies take care of oil be-

The producers who are losing oil are
generally the smaller ones who can not

ducers. But, as already stated, these
tanks are about full. 1t now becomes
