The albuminous condition that APP
peared in Mr.. Estabrooks case little
more than a year ago has been in

fax, and there felt considerably inn
proved. A week ago last Saturday he

visit friends and rest. While there he
suffered q slight stroke of paralysis,
which affected the left side, and which
was still manifest when he returned
home His sight had also grown worse
following the paralytic stroke. Physi-
clans who examined him at st. James
and Mankato, Mimi, informed Mrs
Estabrook that they did not think her
husband would survive a week, and

Even with this information, however,
the suddenness of it all produced a
profound shock, not only to the family,
but to many friends in the city. &

The Lennox Furnace company OF this
city has just completed installing their
Torrid Zone Hermitic fan furnace sys-
tenn of heating and ventilating in the
above illustrated high school building
at Hartley La. This building occupies
a square block of ground, is three stor-
les high with basement and is con-
siderably larger than the Marshall
county court house in ground area COW
cred
For several years there has been a fan
furnace system in the building using
five cast iron furnaces and an Old
fashioned method of air supply. Owing
to imperfection in the system 1T was
necessary to overhead the furnace
which cracked the iron and, in fact,
the expanding and contracting of the
iron under heat had long ago loos-
ened the joints SO that gas and dirt
escaped into the school rooms.
The Lennon Furnace company has
completely overhauled the plant, clos
ing the pipes air tight. putting in five

tuting their modern overhead system of
air supply for the old and imperfect
side system Of air chambers. In this
way the cold air is admitted to the
furnaces overhead and acts as an air
blanket between the terrific heat of a
battery of furnaces and the ceiling of
the school floor above preventing all
danger of overheating the joist. The
cold air being heavier descends thru
the strata of warm air next to the fur
naces before it passes into the pipes
and is thoroughly mixed with the warm
air before being driven by the power
full fan into the school rooms above.
This fan furnace system ventilates
every room in the building by driving
the foul air out thru ventilators and
admitting supply of fresh air under
blower fan pressure and thoroughly
warmed as it passes over the furn-
aces.
The new plant has been thoroughly
tested to the utmost satisfaction of
the school board who have sent
check for the work and will gladly re-
commend the Lennox system to any
one inquiring about u
