women who marched on the White
House with brass band md lying
colors to ask his support for con
women
twenty-five of the women were re.
ceived by the President and five, in
short speeches, presented their argu.
ment. The President reiterated that
as leader of the Democratic party he
was limited only to recommending
those things on which the party had
made up its mind.
The women's appeal was principally
An argument for the creation Of
house committee on suffrage, though
they endeavored to elicit some COM
ment from the President as to his per-
sonal attitude on the suffrage issue.
Il want to say just this" said the
President, n need not tell you that

WASTEFUL OKLAHOMA GAS
MEN WILL Be PUNISHED
Careless Drilling by Operators
Must Stop, Says Indian
Commissioner.

Washington, Feb ga drastic pro-
gram 10 conserve the gas in the In
dian lands of Oklahoma was an
nounced by Cato Sells, commissioner
of Indian agairs, last night. That pro-
gram may add greatly to the perma-
nency of Kansas 'City's supply OF nat
ural gas in future years.
AS first step, Commissioner Sells
imposed a fine of $1,000 on the Silur-
ian OH Company that had been oper-
ating lease on the allotment of Wal
ter Star, Creek. Indian in Creek
county, Oklahoma. This company,
Commissioner Sells said, had allowed
gas to spout from its wells and go to
waste without making any effort to
check it. or conserve it. At the same
time he indicated that much heavier
penalty might be expected from the
nextlessee found guilty Of the same
practice.
Not only have the operators been
guilty Of wasting natural gas, but their
carelessness in drilling by not taking
necessary precautions when striking
water to keep the Water from reach
ing oil or gas bearing formations has
resulted in untold damage to oil and
gas producing sands. Commissioner
Sells said:
Representatives of the bureau of
mines have been available in the oil
and gas fields, and have endeavored
to instruct the operators both by ad.
vice and practical demonstration how
to drill without wasting the gas"
He added: 1T has been demon
strated that wells can be economical
ly drilled without the waste of any
gas and without permitting water to
reach oil and gas formations by. the
application of the sc-called mud
laden process of drilling"
Commissioner Sells indicated very
forcibly that in the next case of this
character which comes before him, the
guilty parties would invite cancella-
ton of their lease and the imposing Of
q much heavier penalty.
There are two million acres Of In
dian lands affected by Sells order
Practically all the future fields frt>.n
which Kanaas City must expect gas
are Indian lands.

LIGHT BOOZE.
Do You Drink lt7

A minister's wife had quite a tus-
sic with coffee and her experience is
interesting. She says:
During the two years Of my train
ing as nurse, while on night duty,
became addicted to coffee drinking.
Between midnight and four in the
morning, when the patients were
asleep, there was little to do except
make the rounds, and 1t was quite
natural that / should want hot cup
of coffee about that time. / could
keep awake better.
After three of four years of eof-
fee drinking, became a nervous wreck
and thought that l simply could not
live without my coffee. All this time
was subject to frequent bilious at
tacks, sometimes so severe as to
keep me In bed for several days.
After being married, Husband
begged me to leave of coffee for he
feared that it had already hurt me
almost beyond repair, so resolved to
make an effort to release myself from
the hurtful habit.
Il began taking Postum. and for 8
few days felt the languid, tired feel
ing from the lack of the coffee drug,
but liked the taste of Postam, and
that answered FOR the breakfast bev-
erage all right.
Finally l began TO feel clearer
headed and had steadier nerves. Aft
er a years use Of Postum now feel
like a new woman-have not had any
bilious attacks since left OF coffee"
