According ia the present practice
OF bee raisers, wax is furnished TO

and with little wax in cell walls.
Comparisons of the weights Of nat

seems certain that heavy foundations
result in combs heavier than the
natural comb and that the increased
weight is due TO thicker midribs and
thicker cell walls, but more to the
latter than TO the former. Where the
cell walls are very high they were not
thinned down in the process Of comb
building.
Experiments were tried with

tons in sections. The different meth

Comb built upon foundation Is all

Since q thick comb has but one

VERY SICK MAN
Stephen Lamm Stricken With
Apoplexy.
The Attack Comes on This Forenoon
Although There Were Unpleasant
Symptoms Yesterday.

Stephen Lamm, president of the
First National bank and one Of the
oldest and best known residents OF
Mankato, sustained a stroke OF
apoplexy this forenoon, and lies in q
more or less critical condition.
Mr.. Lamm has of late been enjoying
reasonably good health, until yester-
day forenoon, when he showed signs
of illness at the bank, while convers-
ing with his son, Leo S. Lamm. The
latter accompanied his father home at
shortly before noon, and he remained
there the rest of the day. Nothing
serious was thought to be the matter,
and Mr.. Lamm was expected to be out
again today.
This morning, Mr.. Lamm arose as
usual at about seven o'clock and par
took of his breakfast. He did not 60
to the bank, but at about nine O. clock
was suddenly taken seriously ill. The
family physician was summoned and
quickly decided that Mr.. Lamm had
suffered a stroke of spoplexy. The
usual treatment was applied, and Mr..
Lamm has slept most of the day.
Owing to the patients advanced
age, seventy-five years, the situation
is doubly serious. His many friends,
however, will hope for the best and
trust that his strong constitution will
enable him to rally from the present
attack.
General regret is expressed on the
street over the illness which has be-
fallen Mr.. Lamm.
