CITY MUST CUT down
ITS running EXPENSE
WILL BE SHORT $4,000 FOR
ENSUING YEAR BY LOSS
OF FINES.

Tulsa's city commissioners are
working overtime in an effort to ascer-
tain some manner in which the run
ming expenses Of the city can be re-
dvced, so as to meet the limit allowed
under the law. 1t was found yester-
day that the amount the city is ask
ing the county excise board to appor.
ton for the city's expenses during the
ensuing fiscal year is $4,000 higher
than could be provided by a 7-mill
levy, which is the highest levy that
can be made by the board.
The valuation of city property this
year Is 100000 less than 1t was
last year. thereby making 1t necessary
to chop several thousand dollars from
the estimate prepared by the city.
Facing as they do a very probable
reduction Of police court fines. due to
the closing OF gambling. the commits
sioners are In predicament. They
will probably meet with the excise
board again today.

FOR The THIN AND SCRAWNy
Samosc VIII Make You Plump and
Rosy, Says the Quaker Drug Co.
and Gctman & Campbell.

If you are getting thin you are sick.
although YOU may not know It. If you
are losing weight steadily. there is
something wrong that needs looking
after. If you have always been thin
II doesn't follow that you are sick,
but you may not be healthy You
cannot be strong If you are thin.
Try, then, to be healthy and plump,
it is not difficult If you know how.
The only way to increase the weight
and gain health and flesh is by using
Samose, the standard flesh forming
food and tissue builder. 1t mingles
with the food and Is assimilated so
that all the flesh forming and tissue
building elements of the food are re-
tanned in the system. This explains
the great value of Samose.
The Quaker Drug Co. and Getman
& Campbell sell every package on a
genuine guarantee to refund the
money if It does not do all that Is
claimed for It.

Much Coal Wasted.

OF a production of 500,0O0,000 tons
of coal III the United States in the last
year, 100000, 900 tons were either vast
ed or left underground, probably unit
for future use, according to IA statement
today by DR.. Joseph A. Holmes, direc-
tor of the United States bureau of
mines.
In addition to this startling waste,
DR.. Holmes declared that users of coal,
through faulty methods, derived only
about 10 per cent of the energy of coal
used. Furthermore, he added, the loss
by waste in other minerals, such as
zinc, nitrogen, potash, sulphur and nat
ural gas would reach into the hundreds
of millions of dollars annually.
DR.. Holmes based his declaration on
an exhaustive report just made by Char
les l.. Parsons, chief mineral chemist
of the bureau, who points Que some of
the heaviest annual losses as follows
Two hundred and fifty million tons of
coal.
More natural gas than is now manu-
featured.
Ninety per cent of the energy Of coal
consumed.
BY Anticipated coke-making methods,
$40,OO0,0OO.
Nine million tons of sulphurc acid
from smelter chimneys
These losses are only the beginning
of the enormous drains on the country IS
natural resources. Mr. Parsons contends.
Officials of the bureau, however, are
hopeful for strides toward reform. Al.
ready, they say, remedial laws, federal,
state and municipal, are bringing about
a better understanding of the situa-
ton.
