a large proportion of dry, or unpro-

failures would add to the cost of ex-
ploration and development.
No Gas in Five Years.
When asked his opinion about the
probable life of the gas fields that are
now supplying all the pipe line. COM
panies, Mr.. Bartlett said that such an
opinion would be merely a guess. No
body knows how soon any field may be
exhausted. But basing his judgment
upon the history of the other fields
that have played out, Mr.. Bartlett
said he believed that there would be
no gas in any of the present fields in
five years and that probably none of
the wells tapped to supply the Kansas
Natural would last over two years. 1t
would be necessary, he said, for all
the pipe lines to keep drilling in new
territory in the hope of opening new
pools. Only in this way is there a
possibility of continuing the gas sup
ply.
The Oklahoma Natural Gas COM
pany is now supplying the Kansas
Natural with 100000 feet of gas
per day at rate of 6 cents per thou
sand. But Mr.. Bartlett declared that
recent investigations by his company
showed that it cost the company 6.13
cents per thousand feet to buy gas al
the wells and deliver it to the distrib-
uting companies. When asked if he
was selling gas to the Kansas Natural
at a loss Mr.. Bartlett confessed that
that had been the case but that the
Kansas Natural had been notified thai
rate of cents would be established
hereafter. In closing his direct exam
ination Mr.. Bartlett explained thai

Indoor Life Makes Fat
TRY OIL OF KoREIN TO KEEP
WEIGHT DOWN, OR TO REDUCE
SUPERFLUoUS FAT.

People who are confined within doors
and who are deprived Of fresh, invigo-
rating air and exercise must take pre-
caution to guard against over-stout-
ness, as fat acquired by indoor life is
unhealthy and danger to the vital or
gans of the body. Lack of exercise in
the fresh air is said to weaken the OK
,gen carrying power of the blood so
that it is unable to produce strong
muscles and vitality and the formation
OF unsightly and unhealthy fat is the
result.
If you are Is or 20 pounds above nor
NAL weight you are daily drawing on
--our reserve strength and are constant
ly lowering your vitality by carry
ing this excess burden. Any persons
who are satisfied in their own mind that
they are too stout are advised to go to
Mcbride & Willis, or any god druggis:
and get box of oil of korein capsules,
and take one after each meal and one
Just before retiring at night.
Even few days treatment has been
reported to show noticeable reduc-
ton in weight. improved digestion and
a return Of the old energy; footsteps
become lighter and the skin less fabby
in appearance as snperfuous fat dis
appears.
Oil Of korein is inexpensive, cannot
injure, and helps the digestion. Any
person who wants to reduce Is or 20
pounds is advised to give this treatment
