Supply Gas Deficiency.

1t is expected that in the near flu
ture artificial gas for heating purposes
will be substituted largely for natural
gas in the Pittsburgh and other dis
tricts, where considerable shortage
in the supply Of natural gas has de-
velOped. This wa the prediction
made at q conference held recently un-
der the auspices Of the Public Service
Commission in Pittsburgh. The Phil
adetphia company. which has been a
large supplier of natural gas for many
years, it is stated, is now prepared to
supply 100000 cubic feet of artificial
gas day. and expects in the near fu-
ture to be able to supply 100000
cubic feet of artificial gas a day.

A REAL AMERICAN

What is a Real American
He is Patriot, not Partisan
He votes.
He pays his taxes honestly.
He keeps informed on public ques-
tions.
He hates militarism, but is ready
to serve in army or navy when his
country is at war.
His heart beats a little faster
when he sees the Stars and Stripes.
He honors those who work, and has
wholesome contempt for idlers.
He speaks slowly, and means
little more than he says.
He is tolerant of anything except
intolerance.
He does not care what your rellg-
ious belief is, so long as you are
decent.
He likes to make money, but likes
see everybody around him making
money also. He does not enjoy riches
in the midst of poverty.
He wants a family of his own, a
business of his own, house of his
own and an opinion of his own.
When laws do not suit him he does
not break them, he changes them.
He wants nothing for his own coun-
try he would not be willing for other
countries to have for themselves.
He does not want the United States
to rule the world, but to be the Big
Brother to the world.
A Real American likewise believes
in unionism and collective bargaining

dead, who never to himself has said:
THAT editor has quite a head, I'm
glad to take his paper. He's got a
raft of grit and sand, he prints the
news of all the land, he boosts the
town to beat the band, and that's the
proper caper. He soaks the CRATER
in the neck, he saves the Ship of
State from wreck. He's Johnnie on
the spot, by heck, when things are
in a jumble. He writes the ads that
bring the dough; he chases all our
gloom and woe; he tells us all we
want to know-and yet he is quite

Plum PUDDING Of other Days.

40
A great deal has been said. written
and sung about the plum pudding Of
old England, but centuries ago II had a
formidable rival for epicurenn favor
known as plum-pottnge or porridge.
II consisted OF beef or mutton made
into. broth. thlckened with brown
bread. which was then thoroughly
boiled after raisins, currants. prunes.
cloves. mace and ginger had been add
ed. This dish Is now entirely obsolete.
though 'Poor Richards Almanac"
mentions II as late as 1850. and a Mrs.
Frazer. who published cookbook In
Edinburgh In 1901, announcing her
self on Its title page as the only teach
er OF the great art Of cookery In that
city, gives recipe for making It.
while Brand. the popular antiQuary.
tells how he partook of 1t at n Christ
mas dinner In the mansion of an old
English gentleman In 1901, but 1t has
long since bern wholly supplemented
by plum pudding. The origin of the
latter is yelled into obscurity. The
earliest cookbook which makes any
reference to II Is the one by Mrs.

PRODUCES a suggestion that Ia extreme.

lightfully. He says:
Consider. II there we're TO be
lapse OF new babies for even so short
a time as ten years, Santa Claus would
fade out OF active existence and be-
come a mere tradition to be read
about in books. A failure OF the
infant crop for fifteen years would
result IN the decay CT the habit of
hanging up stockings, and only an

trouble to have Christmas trees. OF
course, In such an unthinknble con
tingency as that our world would be In
such desperate state of detection
that 1t would have no fun, though II
would go through the motions OF cx.
istence from habit. But the kind of
Christmas keeping we are used TO
would be knocked OH the head. That
lasts simply and solely because there
are children. The people who have
the children maintain the curren,
Christmas practices for their chill
