troversy over gas rates in cities using
the product of the Wichita Natural
Gas company is anticipated. Prac-
tically all the cities and towns using
the Wichita product were represented
a a recent conference in Wichita with
the industrial court and ii was agreed
that the court call a final conference
at an early date at which the cities
Representing the consumers), the dis
tributing companies and the produc-
ing company will have a session at
which a. final rate will be agreed upon.
Under order of the United States
district court both the Wichita Natural
and the Kansas Natural are selling
their product to the distributing COM
panies for 35 cents a thousand cubic
feet. The question which the indus
trial court must settle is what rate
the consumer should pay to allow the
distributing companies a fair return,
and allow for wastage from the mains
which the distributing companies now
must pay for. The gas controversy
in the courts program is under the
supervision of Judge Clyde NJ. Reed.
After the Wichita Natural case is
cleaned up, we hope to reach an early
conclusion in the Kansas Natural
case said Judge Reed.
Cities in the southern part of the
state which have been accustomed to
use gas for winter fuel are clamorins
for a settlement of the rate con-
troversy 1--WE want to know whether
we are to use gas or coal fuel next
winter" is their plea

Hair Often Ruined
By Careless Washing

Soap should be used very care
fully. if you want to keep your hair
looking it's best. Most soaps and pre-
pared shampoos contain too much al
kali. This dries the scalp, makes the
hair brittle. and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo
(Which is pure and greaseless), and
is better than anything else you can
use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroly. Simply
moisten the haig with water and rub
it in. 1t makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather. which rinses out easily.
removing every particle of dust, dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves
the scalp soft. and the hair fine and
silky, bright. lustrous, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut oil
shampoo at any pharmacy, it's very
cheap, and a few ounces will supply
every member of the family for
months

STATE SCHOOL FUND GAIN
Increase of Nearly 100000 in KANSAS
in Last Fiscal Year.

The permanent state school fund
was increased $9S.361.49 during the
fiscal year just completed. making a
total in the permanent fund on July
1, S10,134, 1916, of which there was
$146,672.91 in cash. During the year
the value of the bonds in the fund paid
off was S1,139, 6O3.56 and the state re-
invested or bought municipal and
school bonds valued at $1,123,169.14.
The interest accruing from the ten
million dollar school fund is distrib-
uted semi-annually to the various
counties of the state, averaging SO
cents per school child, each payment
The counties are required to utilize
these remittances in educational work.
The state also has three other per-
manent educational funds. Like the
school fund, these funds were created
by the sale of lands originally set aside
for such purposes. These three funds
are:
State university fund, aggregating
s19S,176, of which Spills is cash
accumulated.
State Normal (Emporia) fund,
s258,65466, of which s12,S54.66 is
cash.

tutions. There also Is the Robinson
fund of the university, which is a per-
manent fund and is administered by
the state. the income from which the
past year was s4.591.49.
Altho practically all school lands in
the state have been sold, scores OF
purchasers are still making payments
on the original purchase and paying
interest on the same. Originally the
law provided the school lands be sold
at $1.25 an acre. Much of this land
is now worth from 500 to $500 an
acre

HEAR THREE-WAY GAS CASE

Industrial Court Opens Sessions in
Ottawa Today.
The court of industrial relations
opened a session in Ottawa today to
hear evidence on the three-way gas
rate plan which has been in opera
ton there for the last eight months
The plan originally introduced by the
owners of the Kansas Natural Gas
company has been recommended by
it for general use in Kansas cities
using the Kansas Natural product.
Presumably the evidence taken in the
Ottawa hearing will have much to do
with whether or not the three-way
plan receives the approval of the in
dustrial court.

The art of ambidexterity, or the u.s.
age of both hands, Is an extremely
practical accomplishment, and one III
volving not only mechanical skill, but
certain amount of will and brain
power. sg
A society foy the cultivation of the
left hand was started some timet ago
in London, but the scheme never
had sufficient backing to flourish.
Now the French Academy of Medl-
cine is advocating that school children
be taught to write with the left hand
as well as the right.
One curious point concerns the cult
of the left hand. an eminent physician
having stated that it tends eventually
TO Increase lunacy. The notion has.
however, been contested by other medi.
cal men, and the head master of Elton
suggests that the further usage OF the
left hand develops certain organs of
the brain which otherwise lie dormant.
