Washlngton.-Methods whereby one
barrel of oil will give twice or three
times the service it now gives must
be devised at once, Government geol-
,gists declared In announcing that
America had reached the peak of her
oil production. and that the end Of
1921 would mark the start Of con
slant decline in the petroleum output
In America.
Experts have completed a survey Of
oil land possibilities and the possible
development Of known reserves, and
are convinced that one-half of the oil
deposits of the country have been de-
pleted. Due to this situation, it is
pointed out, it is imperative that the
remaining deposits he made to give as
much service as possible.
In 1919 the United States produced
three-fifths of the petroleum output
Of the world, 377,719,OOO barrels out
of 559, $4,000, and all of it was con-
sumed in this country. But consump-
tiOn has mounted as steadily, and,
despite heavier importations from Mex
leo, Trinidad and Tobago, reserves Of
oil are about S,OOO,OOO barrels smaller
than at the beginning Of last winter.
Since June l daily production in all
fields has amounted to about 1,240.OOO
barrels. Yet during this same period
consumption has averaged 100000
barrels daily, the difference being made
up from importations from Mexico,
which now average close to 250,000
barrels, and which alone have made
possible any building of reserve stocks.
Estimates recently presented by DIR.
David White, Chief GeOlogist of the
Geological Survey, placed the amount
of petroleum remaining in the ground
at probably 6740,O0O.OO0 barrels, as Of
January, 1919. The total produced to
that date was 4.59S, 144,OOO barrels.
Adding the 1919 production of 3T7,-
10000 barrels and the expected pro
duction of 450,0O0,O0O barrels in 1920,
to the amount produced, and by Janu-
airy, 1921, just about one-half of the
total oil in the country will have been
taken out

Chicago, Sept. 10.-The Kenyon
committee virtually completed today
its investigation of Gov. Cox's charges
regarding the Republican campaign
fund, and then, over the protest of Ed
Moore, the Governors envoy extraor-
dinary, turned to a new phase of the
inquiry. The committee apparently
intends to find out just how active are
the ''liquor interests" in behalf of
Cox and how much they are contrib
uting, through their associations or
individually, to his presidential cam
paign.
The Senators have sat here for
eight days, with several night ses-
sions, calling witnesses on their own
account and those suggested by Mr..
Moore. They have listened to all Mr..
Moore had to say under direct and
cross examination. The result is that
the Governors accusations have fallen

and We're hugely exaggerated, from
any standpoint.

Put aside the Salts, Pills, Castor OIL,

have no effect whatever upon the liver

cleanse the stomach, remove the undi'
gcsted, sour food and foul gases, take
the excess bile from the liver and
carry out of the system all the con-
stipated waste matter and poisons in
the bowels which are keeping you half
sick, headachy, and miserable.
Cascarets tonight will make you feel

you sleep-never grippe, sicken or cause
inconvenience. Cascarets cost so little
