There will be no thirty cent

the decision of the state SUI

that the gas rate making power
was vested in the public utilities
commission. 1t was denied by
the court that an interstate COM

Judge Flannelly of Montgomery
county had the right to fix rates
for receivers for the Kansas
Natural Gas company.
The courts decision is a VIC
tory for the public utilities COM
mission on every important is
sue. While a writ of mandamus
is denied at this time, the con-
templated increase in rates by
the gas company is set aside.
Ask Another Hearing.
Relief may be sought by the gas
companv through an application for
another rate hearing. The order OF
the court makes clear that the COM
mission must allow a reasonable rate
and on this finding the receivers may
take new hope. Failing to ask an
other hearing, the case will then
doubtless go 20 the supreme court OF

DRINK STATISTICS.

Figures showing an increase since
1904 of three gallons per capita in the
nations consumption Of alcoholic
drinks need footnote.
While the average consumption for
1913 was 226s, the average in 1907
and again in 1911 was 22.79. This
gives the Prohibitionists fair argu-
ment for the success of their labors
in at least preventing an increase.
What is more, the actual consumers
of alcohol are estimated to be about
25.5 per cent of the total population,
with an average of SO gallons each.
OF this 25.5 per cent it would be inter
esting to know what proportion do the
heavy drinking.
If hard drinkers drink more but
grow fewer, while the number of those
who drink little or nothing keeps fair
ly steady, totals and averages need
not cause much worry to temperance
workers.-New York World.

LIQUOR AND HEALTH.

LIQUOR AND HEALTH.
Important evidence with regard to
liquor and the public health was
brought before the committee on the
regulation of the liquor traffic In the
District of Columbia by Prof. Irving
Fisher of Yale university. Professor
Fisher showed .....
That the lowering of the death rate
in London has been exactly parallel
to the lowered consumption OF liquor
in that city.
That the lessening of liquor con-
sumption in Sweden has been fol-
lowed by a remarkable lowering OF
its already low death rate.
That alcohol, even in moderate
quantity, actually lessons efficiency,
mental and physical.
That alcohol greatly increases the
susceptibility to disease.
That alcohol is an important cause
of insanity.
That alcohol lessons the average
length of life, as shown by the re-
ports of insurance companies and
friendly societies.
That alcohol increases poverty.
These are the findings of cold
science, not the testimony Of anti.
alcohol enthusiasts.
