Consumers Of natural gas here will
be interested in the Injunction suits
brought by the states Of Ohio and
Pennsylvania against the State of West
Virginia to nullify the so-called "Step-
toe law" were resumed before the
Ohio supreme court in Columbus to-
day.
The litigation grows out of a West
Virginia statute under which that state
conferred upon its public service COM
mission the power to prevent the sale
Of gas to foreign corporations until the
domestic demand has been satisfied.
The states of Ohio and Pennsyl-
-vania are seeking to have the law set
aside by the supreme court Of the
United States on their contention that
it interferes with interstate commerce
and would violate a multitude of con-
tracts under which there have been
spent more than $100,000,000 for the
purpose Of developing, transporting
and delivering West Virginia gas to
Ohio and Pennsylvania consumers.

Blood acts like a fuel. Pumped
through the body by the heart, it sus-

news them. 1t feeds the brain-the
tissues of the eyes and face. That is
why people look so pale and lifeless
when their blood is impoverished. The
body tissues are being supplied with
weak fuel. The blood has not enough
red corpuseles. You would not eat
poor food with no nourishment in it;
no more should you let the fuel that
supplies sustenance to your entire
body be inferior Have good blood.
Improve the quality, and keep it at
it's best.
If you look pale and feel weak; if
you have lost your enthusiasm and
your energy; if your blood is clogged
with poisons, your system is being fed
with a poor grade of blood. That is
no waysto go around If you are not
at your best, get at the source Of the
