Waste of Natural
Gas and Gasoline

CIarksburg, w. Na.-Two hum
dred million cubic feet of natural
gas and thousands of gallons of
gasoline are being wasted needleSsly
in West Virginia every day, accord
ing to DR.. |. c. White, state geolog-
list, who has launched a gas conser-
vation campaign"
The wasted gas, which contains an
excellent quality of gasoline, es-
capes from the casing heads of oil
and gas wells, and according to DR..
White. could be saved if oil and gas
concerns operating in the state
would install proper machinery and
lay more pipe line. He says the gas
oline could be extracted from the
gas and the residual gas then turn
ed into the service pipe lines.
'Althou3 the waste of gas in the
state is alarming at this time, when
the supply gives evidence of peter
ing out, it is nothing compared to
the waste twenty years ago." DIR.
White says that when he was ap-
pointed state geologist in 1897 he
made a visit to a natural gas COM
pany which has the largest pumping
station in the world.
From the tops of the hills near
the station" says DR.. White, you
could hear the gas roaring in all di-
rections. You could hardly hear
yourself speak. Not less than 500,-
100000 cubic feet of it was daily
going into the air from this one
station alone"

TALKS BY
BEATRICE FAIRFAX

There are various ways of doing
this. State schools of motherhood
have been spoken of, where every
young girl of eighteen or twenty
could get years instruction at the
States expense in this business Of
mothering.
Think of the saving in health and
in time and in strength and in pure
joy if every young mother we're
trained for her job. Think of the
panics and the baby-sicknesses and
the maternal breakdowns that could
be avoided and the strong men and
women that would be saved to the
world.
Another scheme that has been a
great deal discussed is that of a
grant from the State to every
mother for every BABY. BY this
pleasant arrangement the State
would be a godfather to every
child and no mother would be pre-
vented for lack of money from Civ
ing her baby a good start in life.
By all means there is promise of
better, safer days ahead for babies.
Meanwhile, are you the kind of
mother that really wise and en-
lightened baby would like to begin
life with?
If not, why not make haste to put
yourself in this desirable class?

A little Danderine Immediately
doubles the beauty of your hair. No

and scraggy, just moisten a cloth
with Danderine and carefully draw

Valuable Metals That
Have Been Produced

Monterey, MeX.-In a report just
issued by the Department of In
dustry, Commerce and labor of
Mexico, statistics are given of the
mineral production of this country
for the year 1917. 1t shows that
there are in Mexico a total of 25,-
O63 mining properties. The gold and
silver mines are most numerous,
numbering 9,S40. Silver mines num-
ber, 5,S04; lead and silver, 4,2S1,
and gold, 1880. One mine produces
jacinth. nine mines produce opals,
one mine produces bismuth, two
properties produce rock salt, fifty
three sulphur, thirty-nine manga
nese, two molybdenum, one mine
produces fluorspar and 119 mines
produce mercury.
The State of Mexico occupied the
first place in gold product in the
last year, having produced 2,123
kilos (737 grams) of the metal;
Hidalgo was next, with 1856 kilos,
and, though i'm former times it was
famous for its output of gold-bear-
ing ores, Guanjuato produced only
nine kilos of gold. The state of Hi
dalgo took first place in the produc-
ton of silver, with 1886, 160 kilos, in
1917; Aguasalientes is next with
103,252 kilos. The production of the
mines, in kilos,. was as follows:
Gold, 5,7SS; silver, 64S,6S4; cop
per, 141, 1,52S; lead 26,769; zinc, 81
3SS, and antimony, 2.14O.

CHAPTER Y
Satisfied

Satisfied"
That was the word that Mildred
had used this morning, and that was
the word that Honora repeated to
herself many times during the day.
Yes, she was almost satisfied
now that she knew that Mildred
cared nothing for Arthur Bruce.
Nevertheless, the older sister was
sorry for the man-very sorry for
him. He was in love with Milly,
and her refusal must have panied
him cruelty.
Yet Mildreds remark last night had
shown Honora clearly and uneXpect-
edly how she herself felt about this
man who loFed her sister.
For days she had been conscious
of her growing interest in him. 1t
was not until Mildred's heartless
speech told her that he had been
hurt that Honora was conscious of
the strength of her own feeling for
him.
AS Mildred discussed him so care
lessly and flippantly, Honora's affec-
ton for him sprang suddenly to arms
CRY that any one could have wound
ed him. Then, with keen self-anal-
ysis, she appreciated that, mingled
with this Indignation, had been a
pang of jealousy because to Mildred
had been offered that which seemed
to Honora the most precious thing
in the world.
Last night she had not believed
fA1 Il
Arthur Bruce. She was sure that
the girl was only playing with him
and that later she would accept him.
For, of course, she loved him. She
could not help it.
All these thoughts had kept the
older girl awake late in the night
and called her from her slumber by
dawn.
Mildred's confession this morning
had made the whole affair look diff
ferent.
Certainly the child had seemed to
lead Arthur on to a profession of
affection. But it was quite evident
that she did not love him. Honora
did.
No Longer to BE Considered
Mildred's sister had right now
to acknowledge this love. 1t was
so strong that it brought with it a
conviction that by its very strength
it must, sooner or later, attract to
her its object.
Since Mildred was no longer to be
considered, there was no disloyalty
or dishonor in another girls think
ing affectionately of the discarded
suitor or in accepting any attentions
he might chance to offer her.
Honora knew that Arthur Bruce
liked her. When they were chill
dren he found her more congenial
companion than Milly. Milly had
cared nothing about books, while Ar
thur and Honora had been invet-
crate readers. Milly had been timid
about playing rough games; Honora
had been tomboy. Therefore Ar
thur had seemed to be the older
Brent girls especial friend.

Woman's Devotion to Home

Home duties to many women ap-
pear more important than health.
No matter how i'll they feel, they
drag themselves through their daily
tasks, overdo and pay the penalty in
headahes, backacbe, dragging-down
pains and nervousness; they become

some form of female complaint has
fastened itself upon them. When a
