Chicago Passes New York.

Washington, Sept. 12-During Au-
gust, for the first time In the history
Oh the Postoffice department, Chicago
surpassed New York i'm the gross
amount of postal receipts.
For some time the Western city mas
been crowding the Eastern metrop0l-
is. Finally last month its postal
revenues aggregated $1.666.484, while
for the same period the postal reven-
ues OF New York city were $55,69S
less than Chicago. The percentage
OF increase In the revenues mt New
York was 11.64, compared with August
1909, against 1916 at chicago. Post
Office officials figure that the increas-
ed revenues at Chicago is due - the
very large mail-order business by the
merchants there. This ~ a pnenome-
nal source of revenue in tine Pogtofice
Department, much larger proportion
ately than the mail-order business ot
New York.

11-year-old Abraham Sloane. of 16S
Leonard street, of the disease by an
injection, the nature of which he
would not reveal.
The doctor declined to discuss the
case except to say that he believed
he had a cure for epilepsy consisting
Of a fluid injection made to circulate
through the blood until it dissolved
the blood clot on the brain, which
caused the disease. He said that he
was preparing history Of the case
and his method of treatment, and
would not discuss it further until It
had reached the profession through
the pages of the Medical Record.
It was learned through the parents
Of Abraham Sloane that on July
be began to suffer violent epileptic
attacks. Up to that time he had ex-
perienced occasional seizures There
after, however, he was subject to
them every morning from o'clock
until $50. He lost his speech, and
became deaf.
On August II they put him under
DR.. Duckman's care. In TO days he
could talk, and on the opening OIL

enviable faculties which are rare In

her short life she was uniformly kind,
patient and sincere and these virtues
were 90 admirably blended that they
made of her rare fiOwer OF child

was held by all who really knew her.
While she felt keenYy her isolation
during her last Illness, she uncom-
plainingly endured her suffering with
peculiar fortitude.

OLD MAN DEAD IN LONELY HOME.
Body Of Samuel Wetzel Found by
NeighbOrs.

Samuel Wetzel, so years of age,
was found dead in his bed at his home
on the Ridge in townsville district
Tuesday. The discovery was made
by Mrs. Anna Mary -Strausberg, when
she went to the old mans house as
was her daily custom to do some
work for him.
Justice OF the Peace, ]. ]. Hitsel-
berger, Of Libertytown, was notified
and after viewing the remains with
DIR. Legg, of Union Bridge, decided
death resulted from natural causes.
Justice Hitselberger in his capacity
as coroner deemed an inquest IN
necessary. Dr., Legg said the man
had been dead for more than twenty
four hours when his body was dis
covered.
Mrs. Strausberg saw Mr.. Wetzel
last Saturday, at which time, she
said, his health seemed as good as:
usual She went to the house Sun
day, but the door was locked and she
took it for granted that Mr.. Wetzel
was away on visit. When she went
to the house again on Monday and
found it still closed, she made an in
vestigation and finding Mr.. Wetzers4
cane hanging on a nail on the porch.
decided he must be at home. Not re-
ceiving any answer to her knocks on
the door, she went to a side window
and from there, saw the old mans
body in the bed. She summoned sew
eral neighbors who forced an en-
trance into the house and then notl-
fed Justice Hitselberger.
Mr.. Wetzel was a widower and he
is said to have one son whose where
abouts are not known to the de-
ceased's neighbors. He is survived
also by one sister, Mrs. William
Fogle, and an uncle, Mr.. Albert
Fogle, both of Libertytown.

MEAN TINE AND EASTERN STAND
ARD TIME.
When Day and Night are Equal.


While according to the astronomical
calculations of local almanacs the
day and night were equal in this lati-
tude on the 21st OF last March and are
again equal today, this is not correct
as time is now measured The calcu-
lations for these almanacs are prob
ably made in accordance with mean
time, but the Eastern Standard time
is now universally followed here and
that makes the day and night equal
ON Monday next, when the sun will
rise at 5.58 and set at 5.5S. By the
same standard time this is the only
day in the present year when day
and night become Of equal duration,
the previous nearest approach to it
having been March 20 when the sun
rose at 6.1S and set al 6.17.
BY the local almanacs there is al
ways the same number of minutes
after the hour of sunrise and the even
hour following and before the hour of
sunset and the even hour preceding.
For instance, take as an example the
first day Of this month, when by the
calculations Of these almanacs the sun
rose at 5.32 and set at 6.2S. 1t rose,
therefore, 28 minutes before 900 and
set % minutes after GOO. This rule,
upon the same authority, holds good
throughout the year. But Eastern
Standard time, by which we are now
governed, varied three minutes from
this rule on the date named, the sun
having risen at 5.35 and set at 6.38.
The variation referred to by standard
time was also much greater at an
early period of the year, on the first
day of which the sun rose at 1927 and
set at 453, while the local almanacs
had sunrise at 1923 and sunset at
437.
These comparisons have been made
from the Baltimore Sun and Freder-
lex almanacS.

The farmers of the county have

thieves and the farmers within radius
of five miles of the city may have to
form some other kind of an organiza-
tion to prevent their fields being strip
ped bare of every kind o. produce be-
fore they get chance to sell it. There
has always been more or less Of this
kind of thievery going on every TALL but
for the last two or three years the
thefts have been ON such an extended
scale and the thieves have become so
bold that the farmers are becoming
aroused to the necessity of doing some
thing to protect themselves. In case
the ordinary means for dealing with
this class of thieves fail and the regular
law officers of the county are unable to
stop the stealing, the farmers of the
county may be expected to take meas
ures on their own account which will
prove effective.

The United states officials Of the de-
partment of public health are making
an effort to keep close track of every
immigrant who comes to this country
from the cholera infested districts and
if their efforts are properly seconded by
the state and local health officers there
is little danger that Unere will be any
very serious outbreak Of the disease in
this country. Kenosha is particularly
interested in the effort which is being
made to keep track of all arrivals in
this country for with our foreign born
population there is hardly a day passes
without some immigrants arriving in
this city either to make home here
or to visit friends and it is very prob
able that some of them come from the
cholera districts. v it'll the information
furnished by the government the local
health officers will be able to keep q
close watch on all arrivals and should
any suspicious cases appear among
them to take such measures as may be
necessary to prevent the exposure of
any large number of people to possible
contagion until the character of their
sickness can de determined.
