Hartford, Aug 10--Although

Hartford, Aug 10--Although only sixty of Connecticuts 169 towns are reached by gas service. nevertheless that service is today being furnished to almost seventy per cent of the states total popula- tion, according to an analysis of the most recent Connecticut statis- tics compiled by the American Gas association from the reports of thirteen public utilities doing busi- ness in the field of manufactured gas.
 The total population of the sixty towns- to which gas service is avail able is 1,403,185. Gas service Is not actually available to all of these people, however since many of them live in outlying or rural districts of the towns, which are distant from the pipe lines. Of the 1.606,903 people in the state, the 1930 federal census figure, l. 121,931, or 69.8 per cent of the homes. This figure refers to dom estic service only and is exclusive of industrial, commercial, house heating and miscellaneous custom CTS.
 The number of homes in Con- necticut which are metered for gas service is 273,641 as compared with total of 391,927 homes in the state.
 In addition to the above, Con- necticut public utility companies also serve 13,449 industrial plants and commercial establishments, the latter including hotels, restaurants. stores and the like. These places account for a large proportion of the total consumption of gas in this state, the uses for gassin industry having multiplied considerably in the past few years. In fact, the greatest future expansion in the field of manufactured gas Is ex- pected by company executives to came in industry, although the domestic field with its new appli- ances, refrigeration and general house heating by gas also leaves room for q much greater utilization of gas fuel than is made at present

13.2O3 Electric Ice Boxes Sold M Connecticut For
 First 6 Months or 1892


June sales throughout the coun- try were 151.774, compared with l19,761 in June, 1931. and exceeded the months quota by 26.526. The total for the first six months of the year was 589.955, compared with 597,454 in the first half of last year. and represents 93.6H of the bu- reau's national quota for the per- iod. This phepomenon of rising sales in the electric refrigeration field. against the prevailing gen. eral bushes trend. has resulted in a feeling of confidence throughout the industry that the 19al all-time sales record of 950.000 will be more than equaled in 1892.

HOW TO DIGEST
 FOOD PROPERLY
Most People Forget About Food They Eat After
 Swallowing It
NEEDS A LITTLE THOUGHT

Most. people promptly forget about the food they eat after they have swallowed 1t, unless of course, they are attacked by Indigestion or some similar ailment. Probably you know that the food goes. to your stomach, where the process of digestion Is started, but did you ever wonder whether the stomach responds similarly to the different foods is receives, and whether the various ways of cooking foods af- feet digestion?
 When the food you eat enteres your stomach, a juice, known as gastric juice, is formed, which helps make digestion possible. Some foods bring about the formation of more efficient gastric juice than others. Owing to the fact that the gastric juice formed when meat enters the stomach contains more hydrochloric acid than Is present in tho case of most other foods, we find that the stomach responds more quickly and more decisively to meats than to any other class of foods. The presence of this acid
 is due to the fact that meat con- tains substances known as "ex- ! tractives," which also cause the
 production of extra large quantities of gastric juice. The more gastric juice is formed, the more quickly and more completely the protein food Is digested.
 Not all kinds and cuts of meat, however, require the same time for the digestive process. says the ,In- stitute of American Meat Packers
 in an abstract of What We Eat and What Happens to It." by Phii-
 lip B. Hawk. The way in which
 mine the length of time required the difference seldom amounts to moro than e half hour one way or the other.
 Pork. for instance. although 1t is digested relatively well, stays In the stomach somewhat longer than other meats. Roast pork is digest ed sooner than other kinds of pork, about a half hour sooner than pork chopss hams and bacon. Pork Is in no sense indigestible. The question of whether we'll done, medium, or rare meat Is the most quickly digestedF has been worked out through experiments on beef. The results show that there is not very much difference, certainly not enough to cause any preference outside of other consid- erations. Rare roast beef. however. won out by leaving the stomach slightly sooner than medium-cook- ed roast beef, which, in turn. pre- ceded the well-done variety by an equally short margin. The differ ence is hardly appreciable.
 Comparisons of the relative d. gestibility and assimilability of tough meats and of juicy. tender meats also revealed some interest ing results. It has been determined that, if both are of equal nutri- tive value. the body will derive the same benefits from either sort of meat. even though the tougher

Gas Is Now Available To
 7Oo6 Of Connecticut Homes
Current Figures Show Large Percentage of Popula- ton Reached Although Only 60 Towns Are Served.

Due to the large expense and many difficulties involved in extend ing the gas distribution system long distances, extension of service to the 109 Connecticut towns now not reached will undoubtedly not take place for some time to come. The fact that less than one-third of the states population lies in those towns shows that the homes are widely scattered and cannot be served except at such large in- vestment per home in pipe lines as to make the cost of service prohibitive.
