twenty-one mills are In operation again
this week, and are getting ont all the 6our
they are capable Of. The shipments ara

northern lake routes, and this has for some
days past caused Q shortage OF cars, though

decline in wheat having stopped the buy

jobbers who bought early enough to now
sell cheaper than western millers can and
still make q handsome profit, and this is
being done. A representative Of q large

Went Mai ON y Train.

In a corner Of the ladies' waiting room
of the union depot Friday morning were
seated a man and woman who frequently
startled the inmates by cries of Help"
followed by strange mutterings and mar
ticulate sounds. They were Robert and
Hannah Traverse, brother and sister, who
went insane on a Rock Island train the
night before. They were placed in charge
of the police. They had tickets for To-
peka and were supposed to have come
from Champlain. n. Y, though all efforts
to obtain any coherent story from them
proved failures. The two were we'll pro-
vided with money. No one on the train on
which they arrived could account for their
strange insanity, as when they left Chi
cago they were perfectly SAM to all ap-
pearance. During the night, however,
without any known cause, they became
almost violent. The worst paroxvsms soon
passed away and next morning they we're
not disposed to move from the place where
the police put them. They we're ent to
Topeka.

busy one in the manner described since
the year 1860, and before and SINCE that
date Mr.. Locke has been hard-worklng
journalist. The first Of his "Nasoy "
satires was published in the Findlsy
(Ohio) JefSrsoRian. Ii was signed
REV. Petroleum Vesuvius Nasty. >"
Dropping the "Rev." and contracting
he middle name to its initial letter We
have the nom de plume by which the
author is better known than by his real
name.
Mr.. Locke is far from being an old
man, and the hope is expressed that he
may recover from the severe illness un-
der which lie has suffered during the
last two months. He was born at Nestal,
Broome county, n. y, in the year 1888.
In the spring of 1915 he applied for
work at the Office OF the Cortland IN. "
Democrat. At that time ne was a bright
eyed lad. straight in figure, and respect
ful in department. 1t was feared that
the boy vas too small for the nrduous
duties devolving upon him as tho print
ter's devil" Of those days, but the
fact that he bad walked all the way
from Marathon, fourteen miles distant,
decided the question, and the coveted
place was given bin. The boy proved
to be an apt pupil, and soon mastered
the mystery OF setting type. Although
the sfice was on the third floor OF the
block, and with tho taking up OF wood
and water and other "chores the stu
alton must have been hard one, Locke
was cheerful and industrious. lie dearly
loved Joke, and often made his associ-
ates roar with laughter at his oddities.
The impression he made WAS exceedingly
favorable. There was nothing small
or dishonorAble about tho lad,
who was much liked and re-
spected. His aptitude for literary com
position led in due time to his engage
ment as 8 reporter subsequently he
became editor and publisher. When,
soon after the publication of his first
" Nasty letter and after he had lived
in various places, he took mn engage
nent on the Toledo BLADE his charae-
teristic productions were transferred to
that journal, OF which he is now editor
and part proprietor. Whatever be writes,
whether in humorous or serious, conven-
tional strain, is remarkably well done.
Mr.. Locke's pen is trenchant and
powerful weapon.
Besides the "Nasby" letters, many
Of which have been reproduced in book
form, Locke is the author OF The
Morals OF Abou Ben Adhem, published
in 1875. His " Widow Bedotte, a comic
drama, Is admired by many playgoers.

Sanitary Msssures-w,ntsr Diet.

70 the Editor OF the Disp0tcd:
The food as well as the clothing should
be changed to meet the requirements OF
the season. IS the system III health
maintains uniform temperature OF
about go in all climates and IN all sea
sons, 1t is obvious that provision should
be made to meet this necessity IN cold
weather.
Nature kindly makes due preparation
for this emergency by giving warmer
coat Of hair and fur to animals. and by
laying up store OF fuel for tse body il
grains aud nuts and oily goods IN the
place OF the fruits and vegetables for
sunni er.
The heat OF the body kept mp by the
combustion of food in the lungs, which
Constitute, as it were, a furnace which
never goes out, but burns without ceaslng
night and day during life.
When . greater degree OF heat is re-
ouirsd the food must be of a more com
bustible nature to furnish if, and should
consist more largely of fats and oils IN
proportion to the intensity Of the cold.
The appetite is safe guide under such
circumstances. Necessity, not instinct,
leads the Esquimaux to enjoy a meal OF
blubber and train oil.
In accordance with these facts the
system should be protected in very cold
weather by free allowance Of butter,
erayies, and fat meats, which should be
lessened or withdrawn upon the ap-
proach Of warm weather.
A very frequent cause Of disease Is
the use in spring Of the rich carbona-
ceous food which is suitable for winter,
because of the scarcity OF fruits and
vegetables at that period OF the year.
The process Of canning, which gives o
supply Of these in their fresh state at all
periods Of the year, obviates the difficulty
and promotes in no small degree the
health as well as the enjoyment Of those
who use them. NJ. ID.
