GASOLINE SCARS BUT DEMAND |S
 UNUSUALLY B|G
Republican A. p. Leased wirel

WASHINGTON, Jan 1-OfficiaI government figures made public here tonight disclosed that in the face or rising prices of gasoline. production oe
 crude petroleum during the last
 wear was greater than in 1914, al-
 though production was "purposely re-
 ;arded as far as practicable" that reserve stock of crude petroleum now
 being held in the country is the larg- est ever recored; and that exports of
 gasoline, to which the rise in prices
 frequently has been attributed. were
 in the last ten months of 1915 less
 than the exports during the cores
 bonding period of the two years pre- Vious
 E Both the department of justice and the federal trade commission are pre- pairing to investigate gasoline prices.
 statement issued by the geologi- cal survey estimated the 1915 pro- GuctiOn of market petroleum at 267- 400,00C barrels, 2.000 barrels more than
 n 1914
 This" says the statement, does not agree with the currently reported
 for the exceptionally high prices now prevailing for motor fuel" T. adds
 As 8 result of the overload put on the transporting and refining phases of the petroleum industry by the ex- cess output of 1914 the year 1915 may be characterized as a period of read justment in which pToduction activity was purposely retarded as far as practicable The small increase there fore. is more significant than the sim pie figures indicate"
 Factors that might be expected to affect the price of gasoline accord ing to geological survey officials are production, consumption and prices of crude petroleun. Consumption figures they said. were not availabIe though consumption was increasing. X low petroleum price level was reached in April and until August the price remained at $125 a barrel for the market standard Then the price be- san to soar and on December IT pc troleum was selling at $215. Indi- cations are now says the statement. that the price will soon reach S250. it's previous high record.
 One production fact brought out by the survey is that crude petroleum stocks held in the reserve. the Iarg- est ever known, increased 50.00O. 600 barrels :n 1915 and at present more than 22o.o00.G00 barrels are being held. Field storage by, producers accounts for 24o00 O00 barrels of this. Export figures for the first ten months of 1915 show that I-soline ex- ports dropped far below tho same per iod of 1914 and slightly below 1913. During the ten months ending with October 9S4I1.466 barrels left the United States against I40.275,273 for the same period in 1914 and lG0.253.- S7l in 1919.

CARPETS AND RUGS

The first carpet factory was estab- 1ished in England 167 years ago today by a company of French artisans. The making of carpets and rugs of wooIen materials was commenced in France in the latter part of the sixteenth cen tury, the art having been learned from the Persians. While cloth carpets were in use in Asia in ancient times their manufacture in Europe is of comparatively recent origin. Bushes and straw were used as f1oor-covering -tury, and, by poor people, until the nineteenth century,. The English stage was covered with rushes in Shakespeare's time, and Queen Eliza beth's palaces had similar floor coV- ering Among the poor people the rushes were seldom changed, and then only the top layer was renewed. This brought about a filthy condition that was doubtless in part responsible for the pestilences which so freouently spread over the country. In the homes and palaces of> the wealthy and the nob1es beautiful fabrics were some times spread over the floors; but the rush floor covering was in vogue even there in the less showy rooms. Sweet herbs were mixed with the rusIaes to give a fragrant odor. Although the carpet and rug industry is now an inn portant one in Europe and America, the finest rugs still come from the Orient.

Dear Doctor:-As the treatments
 am taking are doing me no good I will
 ask you to tell me what to do. I have a rash on my body which itches and almost drives me wild. It has been troubling me for about four
 weeks and nothing have taken gives
 me relief. It is not on my hands, face
 or feet or I might think that I have the o1d-faShioned itch. It is worse
 on my stomach and particularly
 around my waist and I have been
 told that it is probably. shingles. It
 is also on my back, a fine red rash
 and. has no ScabS or matter what
 ever, but itches so into1erably that I
 feel as though I could tear my flesh.
 I have never had a. skin disease be-
 fore and cannot form the least idea of
 what it is. I have had a great deal
 Of nervous trouble and my strength is
 somewhat effected.
 (Answer): Some of the symptoms you mention point to shingles. Al though this trouble as a rule general
 1y appears as scabs, there are many variations and I am somewhat incHn-
 ed to think that your case can be cribed to that ailment. It is indeed a very annoying difficulty, usually oc-
 curing in the winter time. Unhy-
 gienic surroundings, unwholesome food, oVereating and undereating, ex- pOSureS, nervous tfOuDleS ana Olner
 Arrangements ofter bring about shin gles. The disease is generally char acterized by the appearance of nu- merous blisters half around the mid d1e of the body, commencing at the spine. These burn and excite con siderable scratching. In nearly all cases there will be constipation, indi- gesti on, sometimes neuralgia and other disorders. Nervous persons are more apt to contact this trouble than others. If you practice the ex- ercises given under the heading of Dynamic Magnetism. have not the slightest doubt that you will find yourself free from nervousness. Fur ther, I think you would be wise to use the Compound Gentian, also. ap- ply externally the following solution: Two ounces acetic acid (32 per cent.) two ounces glycerine, two ounces witch hazel extract. Apply with the hands twice daily. Continue the use of. this with a light diet. Bathe the body frequently and change the un- dercIothfng often. Be sure that the bowels move freely every day and provide an abundance of fresh air in the sleeping room and outdoor ex- ercise during the day. As a rule an attack of shing1es does not last more than a few weeks, but may return if proper precautions are not taken.
