FOR CONSERVATION
OF NATURAL GAS

uASIt1NCTOE. March 20.-The
waste Of millions of dollars worth
81 natural xas each year In the pc
troleuin fields Of the country may
bs stopped in the near future by a
man made pubflt. to-day by the Fed
eral Bureau OF Mines
The plan as outlined by the oil ex-
perts of the bureau Is to take the so
called "wec gas found in all the oil
fields and obtain from 1t liquefied
gas that can be used for Illuminating
purposes. This gas, which Is by
product of the natural gas. is held
under high pressure in steel con-
tainers and can be shipped to locaii-
ties that do not have a gas system.
In this way. small towns. hotels
and country estates may have the ad-
vantages Of gas illumination At a
fair cost This gas It Is thought, al
SO will prove an excellent iliumfnant
for lighthouses, iightships and other
public Works OF a similar nature
that must be located at distance
from a commercial supply OF gas.

Europe Leads in
Fighting Consumption

Specialists in Europe have been fight
irg Consumption during the last few
years with remarkable success by using
a Swiss preparation called Sirolin.
This is of great interest to sufferers
in this country, because Sirolin has
been imported lately in great quantities
and is sure to become as valuable in the
treating OF the disease here as 1t is
abroad.
Siroln, although very powerful in
attacking the tubercle bacilh, contains
no harmful or habit-forming drugs. 1t
seems to agree with the most delicate
stomach and creates an appetite that
would do credit TO a healthy man, thus
making 1t a great body builder.
Additional information about Sirolin
can be obtained in this country by ad-
dressing the Sirolin Company, 22S West
Broadway, New York City.
All leading druggists are recommend
ing and distributing Sirolin with con-
siderable success.
