sure has been rather low in the city

ience as a consequence, but according
TO a statement emanating from the
office OF the Ardmore City Gas COM
pany this morning, there will be no
scarcity of gas in the city this winter.
The company has already connections
made with a 80 million foot gasser
and have the pipes laid to all the gas
wells in the field OF any consequence
that can be connected at an hours no
tice.
The City Gas company is making
extensive additions TO the local equip,
ment and will be better prepared than
ever this winter to take care of their
customers in the city.

of gas will be hailed with delight by
consumers, as the pressure as above
stated, for the past two or three years,
has been anything but satisfactory. -

Ardmoreite OF Tuesday, August 25, and
it is reported that P. C. Dings has
seen fit to severely criticize it, which
might perhaps indicate that there
was some doubt about the ability OF
the gas company TO deliver sufficient
gas here this winter. However, while
Mr.. McLane was here he voluntar.
lily made the statement that the com
Dany intended laying pipes on the
outlying sections of the city in order
to supply manufacturers if they re-
quired it, and it was thought that
this, coupled with repeated state
ments that the present gas company
was in position to deliver the goods
TO the city this winter, was slffc-
lent evidence to warrant the state
ment that there would be no scare
ity of gas for fuel. However, if
there is any likelihood of that being
the case, the people of the city
should be warned in ample time to
prepare other methods OF heating their
homes and places of business.

third category Of expense not being
inevitable in all wars cannot properly
be included.
On a similar basis here are some
facts about other wars: RussOTurkish

Russo-Japanese war ls05J Russia ST.

ed or who died from wounds in these
wars were: Franco-Prussian war, Ger.
mans 2s.6oo, Russo-Turkish war, Rus
SLAMS $500; Russo-Japanese war,
$500. Whence it results
that the cost Of killing each man was
a. follows: In ls70-ls71, $4,000; in
$4,000; in 1905, $4,000.
What will kill the greatest number
and reduce the effective force most
will not be the rifle or cannon, but IA
tigue, typhus or cholera.
In 1870 100000 Germans entered
the hospitals. Although they did not
die Of their illness they were none the
less made useless for a certain time.
In the Crimean war the allied armies
lost four times as many men through
disease as were killed in battle. This
was three to one among
the Russians in 1S77-1S7S; it was only
one to two among the japanese in
Manchuria, thanks to their excellent
hygiene.
