GAS SERVICE OF
GREAT MAGNITUDE
Used for Cooking In Homes of 10000
OOO-TOtaI of CISCO Miles of Gas
Mains In Country.

CHICAGO. Sept. IA survey COM
pleted by the American Gas association
reveals in some degree the magnitude to
which the gas service of the nation has
grown. Some rather startling statistics
are:
Gas furnishes the cooking heat. and in
many cases illumination, in the homes
of over 100000 citizens.
Communities served with gas number
1900 and meters S.5SO.000, the gas mains
totaling $500 miles, or enough to circle
the world nearly three times.
To make the gas consumed by house
holds and industry last year required
100000 tons of btuminOus coal.
2OOO. 900 tons of anthracite coal ]. 900 900
tons of coke, and 960,00OOOO gallons of
oil.
There are now 100000 gas burning
cooking appliances in American homes.
gas water heaters number approximately
800, 900, and gas heaters nearly 1000
600.
Hotels. clubs. restaurants and institus
tions using gas for all cooking number
7l.49O, while those using it in part num-
Der 1916
The tremendous use of gas for industrial
purposes is seen in the fact that p per
cent of the nations consumption is now
by manufacturing concerns, il being used
in over 300 different processes. Engi-
necrS say that because of its economy,
cleanliness. Cheapness and continuous and
never-failing supply, such as has become
possible through the efficient plants of the
nation, the use of gas. both in the home
and in industry, is but in its infancy.

Penalties for Mistakes

When the doctor, as the mechanical
expert of the bodily machine, comes
to give advice in case of trouble, he
finds that harm as well as good, often
has resulted from food.
''Starchy" foods have been the sub
iect of many warnings. Food which
passes too slowly through the digest
i've tract causes disturbances to which
much of the slowing down, wearing
out, and failure of the bodily machine
is traced.
A characteristic of Grape-Nuts is
that it digests quickly and completely
without fermentation in the intestines.

HOW NOVEL SERVES PURPOSE
Tends to Bring Back, to the Mind, ut
Least, Perfect Moments That
Are Gone.

Men, when they are young and eager
and adventurous, have comparatively
little need for imaginative books; but
when their eagerness is dulled, when
they have reached more contemplative
years, then the recorded poetry Of ex-
istence can be a priceless recompense.
But 1t must in order to endure, have
the beauty of form and courage, and 1t
must be universal to the heart.
popularity of such literature is that
the women in it are visionary, imma-
terial, rather than realistically ac-
counted for; they, too, are apt to be
dreamlike, forever slipping beyond the
circle of an embrace. | can't even
pretend to explain this. A woman is
at the center of nearly every living
accomplishment of art, at the center
of the written or of the writer WOm-
en- like the poor, are always with us;
but how often, for how long, is an
adored figure at our sides? How many
perfect moments has man in the long
months Of his life? Not enough to dis
organize him, and still. at best, enough

ROMAN RECORDS IN AFRICA
Much Light on Early History
Of the Empire.

A discovery which, 1t Is claimed,
will form one of the fundamental
sources for a history Of the Roman
empire under Augustus has been made
recently by Doctor Oliverio, an Ital-
ian savant In Cyrene, the ancient
Greek colony in Africa, founded in the
Seventh century
Morning Post correspondent. writ
ing from Cyrene says that excavations
at Bengasi-the ancient Berenice,
which stood in the midst of the gar
dens of the Hesperides, near the mouth
of the River Lethe-have resulted in
the unearthing of a block Of marble
eight feet long, one face of which
bears a flawless Greek inscription of
over one hundred lines; the transla-
ton of a letter from Augustus on the
government and administration of JUS
tice in Cydenaica, giving a Wonderful
insight into the financial and judicial
conditions of the country at that time.
Other interesting finds are a sane
tuary dedicated to Eastern divinities,
probably of the time of Julian the
Apostate, with remarkably well-pre-
served. black marble statue Of an
Egyptian goddess. An extensive
Ptolemaic cemetery also has been To-
Gated. AT Apollonia. a Christian ba-
silica Of the Fifth century is being ex-
cavated, and at Merdi. the ancient
BARGE, some Cutie inscriptions have
been found which are held to be OF
great Importance when the history OF
the Arab conquest comes to be written.

Pupils Show Their DisapprovaI
of All Forms of Learning.
Fruits and Vegetables Among Missiles
Hurled at SchooImarm in New
York Village.

Beacon n. Y.-When boys and
| girls of this town took to hurting fruit
and vegetables at their school teacher
as a token of their disapproval OF all
forms of academic learning the tax
payers gathered In executive session.
to vote them into state of sub
mission. At the same time, 1t was
learned. the taxpayers voted the school
at Myers Corners out of existence.
1t was developed in the argument
over the closing Of the school that the
pupils If not properly acquainted with
the location of the River Volga, were,
on the other hand, possessed of an I'M
believable variety of useless accom-
plishments with regard to enjoying
themselves and making the life OF their
teacher. Miss Beatrice Ham of Mill
brook, miserable.
Not only were they adept In all the
recognized forms of class room devil
try, such as sticking pins in each other,
and catapulting wads of paper about
by means of rubber bands, but they
had the daring to maintain their mis-
behavior in the face of official disap-
prevail
According to the discussion as It
took place among the taxpayers, moth
ing that Miss Ham could do had any
effect on the members Of her school.
It was told how the youngsters had
left their trademarks on the walls OF
the school building, and how they had
desecrated the pictures Of President
Harding and of Roosevelt and Wilson,
which were hung on the walls of the
school to inspire them to high and pa
triotic thoughts 1t seemed, however,
that none of the pupils was consider
ing the possibilities of his candidacy
for the presidency that term and that
each was equipped with self-starting
inspirer
In one way and another Miss Ham
came to be looked upon with ill-faver
by her pupils and they decided that
the best way of showing how little
they thought of her was by a vegetable
barrage So they brought vegetables
to class with them and threw them at
her with many and sundry gleefal
shouts.
Miss Ham complained. She said that
she had been Inundated and that her
dress had been spoiled. 1t was this,
more than anything else, that moved
the taxpayers to close the school. SO
