Use of Artificial Gas.

That the use of artificial gas as n
domestic and Industrial fuel is i'll
crcaslng and that its utilization for
Illuminating purposes is decreasing is
Indicated by a report recently issued
by the department Of the Interior,
which covers the use Of the product
In 1915.
1t is pointed out that 2GS. o04.24S, 900
cubic feet Of gas was sold during 1915,
and that the value of this production
amounted to S173.S32. 132, according To
statistics collected by c. +. LeShcr of

and 12S,1d3. 3 1000 cubic feet Of coal

AGREE TO DISCARD FOOTWEAR
Natives of the Golden State Have
Formed a League Which is some
what Unconventional.

Unrking back To til" days when man
roaurd carrlrsSly across green pas
lures unslncl,lrd by costly footwear :
when cool, solid comfort met the ma
krd foot NJ every step. and when c"rhS
and huuiu-lS were uuhrard of. four
prominent Sacramrntans have formed
what Is To be known rs the Sacra-
mrnto Barefoot league, says CORE
spondrnt.
There are four charter members OF
the league, all residents Of lardiey
avenue. and they are DR.. Robert L.
Smith. james Mccullough, L. .. LuiIi-
~ and Steve Duwney.
The league was organized in quite
an unintrntiunaI way. Which of the
four was the originator is unknown.
But il is intimared that Doctor Smith,
for several years advocate OF the Coat
less SUMMER league for men, had
something 10 do with it.
At any rate, the league has had sew
eral meetings. The requirements OF
the league are these: No member must
be too modest To display his bare feet.
He must he without pedal covering
in attending meetings He must be
willing 10, and enjoy. walking on his
lawn before the assembled multitude
including his wife. unshod.
lie must he willing TO step into MS
neighbor's house in his bare feet and
walk across his neighbours hardwood
floors us nunchalantly rs though he
were PithecanthropuS in the jungles'
Several meetings Of the league have
been held AT the homes Of the various
charter members Of Yardlcy avenue.
The Meetings are preceded by cool
walk upon the lawn OF the host. As
the evening becomes cool and members
retire tu the hosts drawing Room and
are entertained with photograph Sc

Despite serious objections t" the
league on tn" part Of the better halves
in some Of the homes, the organization
has grown aud i now reaching out for
congcnial spirits.
Keep cool and comfortable and cure
your cOrnS,'' is the slogan of The
league.
