A Worthy Record.

From the Meyersdale Commercial, March nth
Among the announcements made TO day
our readers will find the name Of Edward
Scull Of Somerset borough for Congress.
For time it looked as though no one would
offer, but we are glad TO see the full compile
ment of candidates. Hon. Edward Scull is
now seryinghis third term and has the Teputa-
ton Of being one Of the hardest workers in
the House He has worthily earned tie
title Of the soldiers Friend" for he has
been unremittihg in his labors in their behalf
He is a Republican to the core and his politi-
cal friends here never had 10 worry about
his vote when political questions ofnational
import were to be decided. They always
knew just where he stood, and so did the op-
position-and be it remarked here, be always
enjoyed the profound distinction of Demo
cratic respect-such as is ever accorded TO an
outspoken and determined foe In all his
political career Mr.. Scull's course has been
a wi:hering and blistering rebuke to the
sanity mug wump and his tender-the
political trader for plunder, that in these days
spawn in the shadows that border the
political sea. 1t is a privilege as well as an
honor to support such man and under such
circumstances. At this time The Commercial
has but to express lis qualification at an
announcement the sturdy Republicans of
Somerset will delight to rstify at the April
Primaries.

Landlord Custer Tells of a Deep

have just been reading an article in the
Johnstowh TTlsrHe ofa very eeep snow for
ty-nine years ago, the aulhor of the story
being Lou Smith, editor of the Meyersdale
Commercial. Now. as there are great ma
ny persons doubt the truth Of an editor.
/, for one, can testify TO the truth of this
deep snow Well do remember The year
1913. ] was then a boy of fifteen years,
driving one of my fathers teams, in compa-
ny with several farmers, shedding ore some
three mics to Rockingham Furnace, which
my father then owned aud was carrying on
al that time, and hauling with sleds until
afler the middle of April This furnace was
near the mountains, in Shade tow wnship,
Somerset county, where the snow lasts long
er than it does in the valleys. Mr.. Smith is
correct. Some farmers had sugar camps In
that part of Shade, and, as the season was
getting late, they. tapped but few trees
around the houses. and at that time made
troughs from a block of wood about two feet
long, and followed out with an ak to catch
the sap Of the trees. After the snow had
melted away, the farmers, to their surprise
at the depth OF snow, found they had tapp-
ed their trees over four feet from the ground.

WIIdeats IN HuntIngdon.

John Martin was in Huntington Friday
TO collect the bounty on wildcats recently
killed by him on Stone mountain. north OF
that place. He reports an enormous increase
in the number Of these animals in that part
of the country, and he and his neighbors
hayeturned trappers and are endeavoring 10
exterminate them. Many Of the farmers
thers have been unable TO keep fowls during
the past winter, and even pigs, sheep and
calves have been attacked and destroyed.
The bounty and the price that can be OBJ

this revenue partly recompenses the farmer
for the destruction committed by the raven
Gus beasts in their nightly rounds.

SLEEP AFTER EATING.
From Lecture BY DIR. j. II. Kellogg, Bat
tie Creek, Mich.

From Lecture by DIR. j. II. Kellogg, Bat
tie Creek, uich.
1t has been demonstrated by physio-
logical research and experiment that
digestion is less active and rapid during
sleep than during waking hours when
the brain is active A wide awake
brain is necessary for active digestion.
The pneumcgastric nerve which runs
from the br Tin to the stomach, largely
controls digestive proce sses, and in
order that the stomach shall do its
work thoroughly. the brain must be
awake to do its part. 1t is often argued
by those who. favor an after dinner
siesta that the lover animals eat and
go immediately to sleep. but have ex-
perimented and stidied into the SUBJ.
ject f, r years and am convinced that
this is not usually true, and evei if it
were, it pr yes nothing for an animal
is not called upon to support great
amount of mentality beyon that which
is necessary to maintain its existence
The COW often lies down AMI with
closed eyes, "chews the cud of retiec-
tion," but she is not asleep. Chewing
is not an involuntary effort, and when
she really goes to sleep, she st1ps
chewing. The dog which lies down
behind the stove after taking his
diuner is not asleep. no matter
if his ewes are closed. Let
some one come in with whom he is not
acquain ed and see h wv wide-awase he
is; if the person belongs to the honse. he
will open one eve TO see who it is, but
at any suspicious noise or the entrance
of stranger, he wi demonstrate that
his senses are alert, not locked in
slumben If the house dog really does
go to sleep, after eating a hearty mea :,
he has the nightmare and will bark or
growl-perhaps will dream that he is
fighting with another dog Nightmare
is state of muscular stupefaction, at
tended with frightful dreams. 1t is
caused by Indigestion and consequent
irritation of the nervous system, which
disturbance is. communicated to the
brain. When lying on the back the
weight of a full stomach may impede
the circulation of blood in the large
bloodvessels which lie just back of the
stomach and also produce nightmare.
