Dear Mr.. Gas Consumer:

We hope you will pardon us for
addressing you, in this manner, but
as you have neither the courage nor
honor to sign your name to your
anonymous letter, published in The
Lambertville Beacon, we are COM
PEELED to call you Gas Consumer.
The Lambertville Record, which
you refer to as a little pamphlet"
has made you mad, because it ex-
posed your utter ignorance of what
you were talking about. We did
not think, for a moment, that this
little weekly hand bill" as you
call it, would be the means of show
ing our citizens, so prominently,
your stupendous ignorance of the
subject you try to describe, and
also of common decency and good
breeding. People like you generally
are so entirely satisfied with them
selves that they never can have
mistake pointed out to them with
out further showing their deficiency.
The editor Of the little booklet"
does not claim to be a competent
gas expert, and he wishes to say
that it does not require one to see
that this intelligent Mr.. Gas Con-
sumner" is so befuddled that he
amuses the public by his absurd
reasoning. He says, in the first
paragraph of his letter, which is
written evidence of shallow thinker
and of person who has very little
culture or training, that carbonic
acid gas is soda water gas, and not
carbonated water gas, as "Dory
says" Now you all know that soda
water is carbonated water: they
are exactly the same thing. This
cultured gentleman says that car
bonic acid gas is soda water gas:
then don't he contradict just what
he hassaid, if soda water is car
donated water? He says, Now
this is where | got in wrong in call
ing it carbonated water gas That's
what you did, and you got in wrong
again when you tried to get right.
The thing you want to do, who
ever you are, is first to take a few
lessons in good manners and then a
few in elementary chemistry, such
as they teach school boys, and not
depend upon your own small knowl-
edge of either one.
We wish to say that we are not
working hand in hand with George
Wilgus or trying to suppress this
petition, but that we were only
trying to protect number of our
citizens, who might sign this petition
without thought, from the mistakes
of an incompetent, like you. We
will be glad to join hands with
Brother Hazen and the citizens of
Lambertville in trying to obtain a
cheaper gas rate when some one
with brains writes the petition.
AS far as the explosions of the
natural gas, is concerned, we must
say, and it will be generally admit
ed, that it is a good quality of gas
which explodes so violently as to
burn Mr.. Gas Consumer"

State OF Health.

In hot weather you notice that you
are constantly thirsty. Often you feel
that you simply can't get enough to
drink. You needn't worry about the
feeling. It merely means that the ma.
chine Of your body is working nor.

This mechanism II driven by q heat

value just the same % coal. Its com.
,bustion keeps the heat Of the body day
and night Ut about % IS degrees.
Temperatures in the neighborhood Of
100 degrees put something of strain
on the mechanism regulating the heat
Of the body, for then the body must
be cooled below the temperature Of
the surrounding air. This IL done By
the sweating process. Evaporation
keeps the temperature down.
It can be worked out az q problem
In physics that the food eaten in .
day by . workman with an average
appetite would produce enough heat to
evaporate about six quarts Of water at
the temperature Of the body. An Eng.
lish medical odicer stationed In India,
where the temperature for months q
time does not fall below 100, reports
that daily consumption Of about siz
quarts Of water was required for q
person taking . considerable amount
Of exercise.
It Il necessary to drink plenty Of
water to supply the body with enough
material for evaporation to keep cool.
I Incidentally II may be noted that
hot weather, even in India, isn't neces.
