covered that very few blue eyed people

and for power to hang rebels, traitors

Thirdly, county poor house should be

OF this class should be compelled to live
with the insane or epileptic. And With
this goes sentiment that indoor re-

for the unfortunate, and the overseers
of the poor will send many there that

1HE NEW 0lL Fuel.

One OF the amazintrl features OF the OH
supply in Texas is that 1t continues to
promise q daily yield of from 100000
to 5000, 900 barrels. This is from the
Beaumont section alone. Other wells
are being developed elsewhere that give
evidence of large yields. II the supply
continues, it means a great revolution
in the fuel question, as the crude Gil OBJ
Already manufacturing establishments
are preparing to use it. OH burners are
being nut into cotton mills and other in
dustrial plants In Texas.
1t is probable, too, that in the matter
OF heating it will c,ome into large USE
OIL heaters for the refined product of
petroleum are coming into greater use
yearly. They make ideal heaters for
bedrooms in stoves in which the diff
cultics OF odor and smoke are overcome,
and they are less expensive than coal or
other stoves. Another advantage is that
they are ready for instant service, Still
another is that they do away with the
smoke nuisance.
When this new oil fuel is adapted to
cooking and larger heating stoves and
furnaces or where stoves and furnaces
are made for this purpose new era will
be inaugurated.
AS revolutions move slowly, so this
movement will grow as caution permits
it. Manufacturers and the people need
to be persuaded that the supply of fuel
oil will be permanent and that the de-
smand will be general and lasting.
1t would seem TINT the economic adj
vantages are all in favor of the fuel oil
and that it will force its way to the
front despite of airy prejudice against
