Topeka Used to Use a Million
Feet for Cooking.
NOW TAKES $500, 900 FEET
Trouble Is 1t Is Used for Heat
ing Purposes.
Would Be Enough if Used Only
for Cooking and Lights.

When Topeka was using artificial
gas the daily consumption was $50,
600 cubic feet. With the increased
number of consumers and the addi-
tional mains Topeka today under the
manufactured gas prices would use l.
100000 cubic feet of artificial gas
daily. Topekans in the days of the
old gas used it for cooking and light
ing only.
Now for the natural gas. In Octo-
Der this city used an average of g.
10000 cubic feet of gas daily. This
was used for heating as well as light
ing and cooking.
The Moral: If Topekans would use
the natural gas for cooking and light
ing only, with an occasional supple
mental heater, there would be plenty.
Figure it out for yourself. With ar
tificial gas the city would use 1,000,-
600 cubic feet a day. The supply av-
erages probably 100000 cubic feet
a day under the natural gas pressure.
Abandon the unsatisfactory use of
natural gas in furnaces and stoves and
conserve it for cooking and lighting.
Then the days of gas troubles are
over.
Receivers at Kansas City state that
more gas is coming from the fields.
But II is evenly distributed over the
entire network of cities and the eff
feet is scarcely felt in Topeka. AS
Manager Treleaven says, with more
gas comes colder weather-and there
you are. In Kansas City 100000
feet of artificial gas was used each day
for cooking and lighting. Now Kan
sas City uses 100000 natural gas
for cooking, lights and heat.
Arguments for Higher Price.
Manager TreIeaven, of the local gas
company. is a six-foot gas arithmetic.
He thinks the solution of plenty of gas
is the higher price of the product. He
says:
You can ask the consumers to use
gas for cooking and lighting, only, until
you are black in the face, but they will
use it for heating as long as they can
get it. There is only one way to guar
antee plenty of gas for years to come
raise the price. Charge so cents thou
sand feet for it instead of the present
price of % cents, and you will cut down
the use.
THE consumers have this bare fact to
look in the FACET is either a case of
paying % cents now for year or so
and then pay the old SIPS for artificial
gas. or pay so cents and have the
natural gas Indefinitely. To double the
price would mean the prolonging of the
life of natural gas.
In the last six months here in To- |
peka we have paid 5 cents thousand |
to the consumers. It has cost us that
much over expenses to furnish 1t. or
course we depend upon the winter |
to pay expenses.
Il am heartily in accord with the
attempts of the State Journal to in t
crease the supply of gas by asking the +
people to use it for cooking and light I
ing only, and I think it would greatly
relieve the situation if the people would
isten-but they won't do it. They will +
use gas for heating as long as it costs
only % cents.''

TOO MUCH VACATION.
Make Children Take Life Seriously,
Bostonian Says.

Boston. Nov. 30.-Longer study
hours and shorter vacations for school
children are recommended by Presi-
dent F'lavel S Luther of Trinity col
Iege In an address before the State
association he said:
THE public is an easy mark be-
@ use school teachers have convinced
them that the schools are giving all
they ought in education. Let's teach
more than 25 hours a week. Let's
have our schools going larger part
of the year. Let's make children take
school life more seriously than we
have formerly Let's be a little more
in earnest. 1t is .preposterous that we
take so much vacation"

GETS HISTORIC MANTEL
Rockefeller Will Use 1t in New York
Mansion.

New York, Nov. 30.-A century old
marble mantel piece from one of the
oldest colonial houses still standing in
New York city, is to be the feature of
the entrance hall in the mansion which
John D. Rockefeller, Jr., is building
on West Fifty fourth street
The mantel is of French workman
ship and was brought to America by
the Schermerhorns, a noted New York
family, to adorn their home overlook
ing the East river, near where the
Rockefeller Institute for Medical Re-
search now stands.
The house was later bought by De-
witt Clinton, then governor of New
York state, and has been used as a
day nursery since the RockefelIers ac-
quired the property.

THE OPTOMETRLST Is THE EYE
STRAIN SPECIALIST.

For the benefit of many people who
do not understand the meaning of the
word optometrist, we will define it as
follows: A specialist of higher train
ing who employees means, other than
drugs, for the measurement of the
powers of vision and the adoption of
lenses for correcting their defects. The
profession is now recognized legally in
q states and the Publics implicit con-
fidence may be placed in any specialist
who legitimately can claim the title.
The oculist is a medical surgeon who
specializes in eye diseases while the
optician is the maker of glasses.
Many people in splendid physical
condition suffer from headaches, ner-
vousness. nearsightedness, farsighted-
ness, etc, not because the eyes are
diseased but because they are abnormal
in shape like a large nose or small
ear. The Optometrist can correct these
troubles

THEY ARE WAITING.
Members Canvassing Board issue Ger
tifcates to All But Governor.

Because of a delay Of an hour this
morning in filing briefs in the appn-
cation for a rehearlng of the wa
baunsee county case, nnal decision
in the gubernatorial contest by the SUI
prerne court was delayed. AT noon no
decision had been reached by the
court and a recess was taken until
O'Clock this afternoon. In the mean
time the state canvassing board is
awaiting a final decision in order that
it may complete its work
When the brief for reopening the
Wabaunsee case was sent TO the su-
preme court by attorney for Arthur
Capper the argument was much the
same as that presented when the case
was heard last Monday. Ten type
written pages were covered in the ar
sunentS by Capper'S counsel, who Of
fered many reasons why they shouI
be allowed to recanVass the Wabaunsee
returns. No brief was filed by the
Hodges lawyers and no oral arguments
were heard by the court.
While the contest over the Wabaun-
see case was proceeding slowly in
the supreme court, members of the
state canva ssing board were anxious
Iy awaiting the decision of the court
that they might complete their can
vass of the returns and issue certif1-
Gates of election. When no decision
was reached by the court at the noon
hour. the canvassing board took re-
cess until g. o'clock this afternoon. If
the court should deny a rehearing of
the WabaunSee case, it is probable
that the canvassing board will COM
plete its work this afternoon and is
sue certificates of election to the sue
cessful candidate for governor. In the
meantime the board issued certificates

To begin with, it is very foolish to
believe that you can be fitted with
correct glasses by mail. In spite of
the strict supervision of the Govern
ment postoffice officials, some of these
concerns are yet doing business
through the mails. Advice or treat
ment from people who make such alb

WHY so MANY PEOPLE NEED
GLASSES

The fact should not be viewed with
alarm but rather in a sane and sensl-
bic manner. The condition can be ex-
planned probably in no better way than
that we are living in an age of intense
concentration. Our children are
started to school at a very early age
just at the time when the eyes and
all other organs are beginning to de-
velop rapidly. Close application re-
quired by the advanced school meth
DDS, throughout the growing years are
almost sure to cause sub-normaI de-
velopment- No sooner out of school,
than into the harness of working, to
to earn and live. This is why so many
people need glasses to aid and
strengthen the eye to normal and
healthy vision. And it is serious and
grave error to employ and other than
the BEST and most highly skilled op-
tometrist to correct irregularities Of
the eye.-Adv.
