So we were compelled to ask an increase
The increase asked

The increase we ask adds only cents to
our present rate-one of the lowest in Amer
ica-which would give US the same rate we
received in 1915.
You cannot operate your home on the in
come you received in 1915. Can you?
In 1915 we were receiving rate of 8
cents, but in 1917, on figures based on 1915
costs, our rates were decreased -
The Gas Company, officially and "unof-
ficially," made five increases during the past
year as follows:
The general increase on each 1000 cubic
feet used.
The service charges.
They pay NO taxes. Their taxes were elm
mated; ours were increased.
The pressure of the gas has been lowered,
giving the consumer less gas for his money.
It takes the housewife longer to cook with
gas than it used to because the heating ability
has been decreased.
Our increase will add only 80 cents month
to the average residential bill, which is much
less than the increase made to the public in
any other commodity.

Oppose Crap
Games Among
Ball Players
Hickey, Gleason and Cubs
Boss Clamp Lid Down on
Poker Chips and "Gallop.
ing Dominoes."

Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Chicago, Jan. 5.--Loyalty and dis
ciplne, known in army life as
morale. will be an important factor
in base ball during the season of
1921, if one may judge by advance
statements of club owners and man
ayers. Both the manager of the
Cubs and Manager Gleason of the
White SoN. have openly declared
against crap games, poker sessions
for big stakes, and other forms of
gambling, which not only tend to
take the players minds off base ball,
but cause them to break the rule
against late hours. r
Branch Hickey. boss of the Cardi-
mails. always has opposed gambling
in his club. and is said to have laid
down strict rule prohibiting it in
any form next season. Miller Hug
gins, leader of the Yankees, is an
other who has declared himself, and
it is known that many other major
league bosses are of the same mind.
: Until last season gambling for
large stakes was seldom seen among
the White Sox. players and it was
noted that no big gambling was done
at any time by those members who
came through the crisis with clean
records. An incident of last sum-
mer will illustrate:
Travelling east in July, the players
were in "A parlor car, and Manager
Gleason wasn't present. having gone
on an earlier train. One of the party
innocently displayed a pair of dice,
another, one of the squad. remarked
that he would shoot just once, for
a dime. In jiffy crap game was
started.
The innocent fellows beat it at
once, and the stakes jumped from
dime to a dollar and then to SIS and
on up, until as much as $40 lay on
the carpet for a single roll of the
worries. The fellows who were
shooting for the big stakes are
among those indicted by the Cook
county grand jury. ~
Because of the probable presence
of many young and ambitious play
ers on both Chicago teams, it seems
likely that the managers may be able
to develop high morale.

OLD THEORIES DIsPROyEN
On DiGEST1BlLITY OF STARCH

1t has been generally believed that
raw starch was harmful, and that all
starchy foods should be subjected to
cooking to be digested properly by
the human body. Once upon q time
constarch puddings and such were
tnbooed by those who held to the be-
lief that raw starch could not be
digested-
The idea that raw starch is not d.
eestible has been proven erroneous, at
least in the case Of healthy adults.
In . series Of experiments conducted
BY the Office Of Home Economics, u.
s. Department Of Agriculture, il has
been found that corn starch, wheat
starch and rice starch were ali digest
ed completely when eaten in frozen
puddings in which they constituted as
much Is 20 per cent of tie entire dish.
Raw potato starch in the same kind
Of pudding was found to be less di-
gestible, giving an average Of 7B.2
per cent digestibility, and similar re-
suits were obtained with other tuber
and root starches. The text book state

will now have to be changed, and per-

PRAISE FOR THE sHoRr SKIRT

After reading and listening TO all
the knocks and comments one hears
or sees printed these days on the sub
ject Of women's clothes, it is quite .
relief-to the women any way-to
have some learned individual rise in
their behalf. The New York World
recently published an article that was
SO interesting, we clipped it and here
with reprint it:
Says the article: "Now It Is DR..
Wood Hutchinson who defends the
Short skirt. In the opinion Of this
authority it has contributed largely
to the physical emancipation Of women
as part Of the charming, graceful
costume which is the heaithiest, most
beautiful and most artistic gown
women has ever worn.
Gould masculine appreciation furtr-
er go? The danger Is lest the grow
ing APPROVAL of the abbreviated skirt
may prejudice wearers against it..
1t was q symbol Of revolt against the
conventional and il the object Of that
revolt has been achieved, will not the
impulse occur to turn to some new
line of aggression? Already there are
ominous hints from Paris to revive
the corsets Of other days.
"But If mere mans opinion of such
things is worth recording, it is pretty
well agreed that the present styles Of
women's clothes are more comfort
able, slightly and hygienic than any
previously evolved by fashion. Their
benefit TO feminine health justifies
their existence. The short skirt, to be
sure, encourages eccentricities Of
brevity against which reformers rail.
But it deserves to last, and no doubt,
the economy of material it manifests
will in time be reflected in an economy
Of price,"
