High Pressure Days.

Men and women alike have to work
necessarily with brain and hand to
hold their own nowadays. Never were
the demands of business, the wants OF
the family, the requirements of So
society, more numerous. The first eff
feet OF the praiseworthy effort to
keep up with all these things is com

which results in dyspepsia, defective
nutrition of both body and brain, and

cesspools or holes in the street, swim

VIII the Price of Gas be Higher?
10 The Editor of The Gate City:
The gas company have told us,
through the newspapers, that they
were going to put us on our meter
ior fuel and light which would save
mem thousands OF dollars a year,
ana consequently they would reduce
me price to us. Where we now pay
sl.oO per 1000 feet for lighting and
si'so the first 1000. then s1.OO for
iuel, We will have to pay s1,35 the
hfst 5000 feet, That looked alright,
ou' on thinking it over see reduc-
uoh on light is 15c, but fuel is decid.
suiy higher. We will have to pay
aec more the first 1000 feet, then
ooc the next two. am looking at
siis from the standpoint of the small
'aiilily whose fuel bill is much big
scr Item than the lighting, especially
through the summer months. Can
sar commissioners help us to keep
