got his answers there he asked how
many were in the family at the house

were ten children and the father and
mother. Being anxious to have his dis
trict properly covered, the enumerator
went back to get the answers that had
been refused on his first visit and was
met by the man of the house, whose
readiness to give him what was want

Pipes lined with glass were found
recently by workmen repairing the

was originally built about 1910 by a
man named Price. About that time
there was panic in regard to lead
poisoning, and pipes We're lined with

and decided to have his pipes lined
with glass. The experiment was not
successful, as it was impossible to
