FOR GAS ORDERED
BY COMMISSION

Rates to Consumers In Southern
Ortqori. So as to Yield Manufactur
ers Income Sufficient to Meet On
eratina Expenses.
The public service commission has
authorized an Increase In gas rates
In Rosehurg, Grants Pass, Modford,
Phoenix, Talent and Ashland as ask-
ed for by the company effective April
1. The new rates are:
First' 200 cubic feet, or less, per

Next 4800 cubic feet per month,
12.10 per 1000 cubic feet.

$1.75 per 1000 cubic feet.
' A discount of five per cent ( 5 per
. cent) on all bills will be allowed if
paid within ten days of the date of
the bill. -
The old rates wore:
First 5000 cubic feet of gas used
per month, J 2. 10 per M.
Next 7500 cubic feet of gas used
per month, J 1.70 per M.
Next 32,500 cubic feet of gas used

Excess over 45,0u0 cubic feet, of

'count of 10c per thousand cubic feet
If paid on or before the 10th day of

. which the gas was used. Minimum
charge 11.00. v.-
The commission states that under
the rates which became effective July
1, 1918, for the six months' period
ending December 81, 1918, the rev
enues ot the company at the. various
ownB were I23.45S.43, while the
expenses for- the same period jirere
$28,983.78, making a loss for the
combined - plants of $5,525.35 for
. the six. months' period under consid
eration,.:'.!'.' . v....;,.v'.?v!;
"Prom a full consideration ot the
testimony before us, we find that the
temporary rates granted to become
effective July 1, 1918, were not suf
ficient to pay operating expenses and
ere unreasonable and unjustly dis
criminatory, and that under the ex
isting conditions the new rates are
Just, reasonable and not unjustly dis
criminatory." .'
The Increased rates were necessi
tated by the increased cost of fuel
oil, of higher freight rates, and cost
of operation. Even the new ratea
will not yield more than operating
expenses. 1
CASUALTY LISTS
BY G
"WASHINGTON, Mar. 27. On
April 1 the war department will dis
continue the method of issuing cas
ualty lists which has hitherto made
them available for simultaneous pub
lication In all newspapers thrnout the
country. This has been decided upon
it was explained today because prac
tically a(l the casualties incurred in
fighting 'have been announced and
few remain except deaths from Injury
or disease since the signing of the
armtstlce.
The action today was taken on the
ground that the casualties are not
"fighting" casualties and that they
are in the' same class with deaths in
the navy or in the army camps in this
country which are not formally an
nounced. The war department will furnish
full lists for mailing from Washing
ton, but they will not be Issued for
publication on any specified date, and
may be published whenever newspa
pers receive them. The last list Is
sued under the present system will
lie published In the newspapers of
April 6. Thereafter, It Is probable
that only the killed In action will be
distributed by telegraph.

THE IDEAL WOMAN
The great Napoleon once said: "My
Ideal woman is not the beautiful-
featured society belle, whose physi
cian tries In vain to keep her in re
pair, but the matron who reaches
middle age In complete preservation
that woman Is rendered beautiful
by perfect health." To attain Buch
health in middle life a woman must
guard against those ills which drag
her down and produce nervousness,
headache, backaches, - sleeplessness
and "the blues." The standard rem
edy for such conditions is Lydia E.
Pink ham's Vegetable Compound,
which for forty-five years has been
restoring women to health and
strength. Adv.
