- A lengthy statement from the utili-

contrasts to the statement from the
commission in December 1914 when
it held that % cents a thousand cubic

price for gas In that decision the
commission declared that the Kansas
Natural might extend its lines. secure
ample gas and earn a long profit on

An Old Mana Stomach.

AS we grow older and less active,
less and less food is required to meet
the demands of our bodies. II too
much is habitually taken, the stom-
ach will rebel. When a man reaches
the advanced age Of IS or 80, you
will find that he is a light eater. Be
as careful as you will, however, you
will occasionally eat more than you
should and will feel the need Of
Chamberlain's Tablets to correct the

ach and enable it to perform its
functions naturally. They also cause
