Peter Klaus returned Saturday
from his trip to the Hot Springs,
where he had been for the benefit Of
his health. He says he has now full

man. The rheumatism has all left
him. Before, he could not raise his
right arm to his head; now he can
hold out reasonable weight with it.
He thinks this is the proper time of
the year to 60, as patients will not
suffer, when they return, from the ex-

he was there the greatest change of

"Brehm's Thier Leben, the great
German scientific authority, says:
"Albino or white elephants very rare;
light colored specimens are rarely

White Elephant it appears that the
people have been able to obtain but
few light colored specimens, notwith-
standing all possible efforts have
been made" As matter Of fact
