A feature of the. March number

Insanity Increasing,

Insanity is on the increase in
the United States. TINS has been
known by the alienlsts for sever
al years. The state hospital for
the insane are all overcrowded;
new hospitals are being built
right along and they are rapidly
filling up.
An investigation IN New York
state, Pennsylvania and Connectl-
cut revealed this unpleasant truth
1t has been found that the num-
ber of insane in this country has
increased to a marked degree In
the last twenty years.
In fact, the increase Of insanity
IN this period has reached 81 per
cent, while the increase in popu-
latlon IN the same time is only SO
per cent. Various causes are as
signed TO this condltlon, winch,
If not checked, is likely to become
a national menace.
Some physicians say that I'M
migrants bring insanity into this
country and are responsible for
the increase In the number of in
sane. The immigration authori-
ties refute this by stating that
the immigration laws exclude the
insane. and point to the number
they deport. 1t is also stated
that in the middle West, where
thelmmlgrantis almost unknown,
insanity Is increasing.

LAIDIG VS.. McCONNELLSBURG.
Saturday Afternoon, June 25th, at Nc.
COnnellsburg.

The fans were again doomed to
disappointment last Saturday,
when the weather man interfered
by bringing to the foreground
one of the hardest rains of the
season. Nevertheless, enthus.
lasm runs high as ever with the
supporters, and Saturdays game
with Laidig promises one of
the best of the season,
During the past week the team
has been greatly strengthened
by the addition of Spangler, last
years great box artist, and by
the return of Scheldleman, who
has been out of the game for some
time. With these two new men,
and since the team has been
rounding in shape nicely, this
years team promises to be the
best McConnellsburg has had for
many seasons.
The management wishes to ex.
tend their thanks to ali the sup
porters of the team, for their
wholesome support IN the fnan-
cial end of the Association, and
the only thing we ask now is to
come out and give our represent
atlves support when we are com.
peting with some other team. 1t
need not be said that a team can
give a better article of ball when
they know their friends and sup
porters are there to aid them by
their presence. That is an ad.
mitted fact; so come out and root
whether they are winning or
losing until the last man Is out in
the ninth inning. 1t doesn't take
much of a man to yell when his
home team has the game laid
away IN the first few innings of
play, but it takes Man, Great
Big Man, to never cease roofing
when the game seems hopeless.
This years team is going to win.
There's not a bit of yellow IN any
makeup on the squad of players
You come out and show the same
spirit and we guarantee that you
will never regret the time you
took from your business hours.

Cultivate That Corn.

Many farmers are getting
alarmed about the corn not get
ting a good start. At present
the outlook is all right as far as
the seed Is concerned. The cold
weather the latter part of May
was not good corn weather, but
we hope this month will make up
for lost time.
A good way to hurry up the
growth of the corn is to keep ev-
erlastingly at it with the cultivat-
ors and never allow crust to
form on the field. Don't allow
the cultivator to stand idle. :
Several years ago we saw a
farmer CRIB fine corn while his
neighbor had only half crop.
We asked the cause and his reply
was 81 have several boys and
they just lived In the corn field
from the time 1T was up until it
was out in tassel." This should
be done on every farm especially
this season when the corn is late.
Keep the cultivator on the go
and the corn is sure to grow.
IL will pay you to work a little
longer IN the evenings in order to
have more corn. Too many peo-
pie get discouraged and quit work
because the season is not favor
able. The wheat, rye and oats
look fine and the corn will too, If
it gets plenty of labor expended
upon it. Keep at it early and
late and the hot sun and cultlvat-
ing will make corn even If the
present outlook is little dark.

Beekeeping Pointers.

A Pennsylvania beekee p e r
wrote to State Zoologist Ii. A.
Surface, at Harrisburg, asking:
"Will combs get too old for the
bees to useY Ought the old combs
be broken out, or ought the drone
cells be broken out? What will
keep ants away, or Will they do
any harm? Would you advise
clipping the wings of the queen?"
To this Professor Suaface le-
piled as follows:
"Perhaps the comb will never
get too old for the bees to rear
their young CT store honey in,
but the older the comb gets the
smaller the cells become from the
continued filing with the cast lar
skins. The cells become thick
walled and this makes the bees
small. Thus in old combs the
bees are much smaller than those
reared in new combs. Smaller
bees will not carry as much hon
ey as larger ones, and l am salts
fed that 1t is best to renew the
combs at least once every five
years. There is not much loss
in SO doing, as they can be rem
dered into beeswax and this can
be made into foundation and can
be used IN the hive TO insure
straight combs, and save the hon
ey that would be transformed IN
to comb If foundation were not
used. | believe IN cutting out
drone cells, but to avoid the bees
building more drone cells IN the
same place, you should fill this
place with worker comb. Some.
times to fill it with foundation Is
sufficient.
ITO keep the ants out of the
hives, you can set them on small
blocks, and put these INTO shallow
plates, or pans, filed with oil.
They need not be very large IN
order to keep the ants out of
them. A screen of wire netting
fastened above and extending
down over them like an um mbrella,
but not reaching the ground be.
low, will keep the bees out of the
oil.
81 do recommend clipping the
queens wings, and | clipped one
of my own only this morning. 1t
does not hurt the queen, neither
does it prevent swarming, as
some people imagine, but 1t does
prevent the bees flying away at
the time of swarmlng. This IS
important for one who Is busy
and often away from home"

VIII Protect Food.

"The Murphy act makes it un-
lawful for any person to expose
food IN such manner that 1T is
liable to become contaminated
and that means that people must
not allow food to be exposed to
flies. I'm gong to enforce that
law this summer" SAID Dairy
and Food Com missioner James
Foust.
81 have been making a study
of the fly and have had the advice
of many medical men and store.
keepers and they agree that the
best way to observe theprovisions
of the Murphy law so that food
will not be stored or kept in a
way to render 1t liable to contain
ination is to cover it up from flies.
Under the law the agents of this
division can arrest without a
sample when 1t is seen that food
is improperly stored. The part
the fly plays in spreading disease
does not need TO be discussed.
The state is gong to take posi-
ton In the matter and require
food to be protected. f" i

DOESN'T KEEP YOU WARM.
Article on the Effects OF Alcohol, From
the Pen of DR.. A. j. Rems-
burg.

DEAR demonstrating read an
article In the News about alcohol
keeping the body warm, would
like to express my views and ex.
perience about the matter.
The internal organs of the body
especially the liver, are supposed
to keep up the heat of the body
when there is no active exercise
The anatomical structure of the
liver, with it's large blood vessels,
contains a very large amount of
blood. The natural color of the
skin of a white person is a pink.
ish hue. Exposed to the cold
awhile, nature may first make
an effort to keep She surface
warm by dllating the capillarles
with blood; but falling IN this,
the next act Is to contract the
caplllaries, driving the blood to
the internal organs to keep 1t
warm. If alcohol is taken into
the body, Its effect is to force the
blood into the capillarles, thus ex
posing 1t to the cold, and then IN
a short time, the whole body
must become cold; therefore, the
man who has not taken alcohol
can stand much more cold than
one who has.
This has been my own expert
ence while practlclng medicine.
[ have never taken a drink of
whiskey IN my life. l have fire.
quently ridden in the coolest
storms with men who drank whis
key, and always found that l
could endure far more cold than
they, and always got warm much
sooner than they would, from the
simple fact that while the surface
of my body might be cold, my
blood, beng mostly in the inter
nal organs, was warm, while
theirs, being driven to the sur
face by alcohol, was cold. L also
found that, while l was warm,
they were still shivering with
cold, the alcohol having driven
the blood to the surface, thus de-
feating the efforts of nature to
keep the blood-and through it
the blood)-the body warm.
While alcohol may be indlspen-
sable to the chemist in preparing
medicine, it absolutely has no
medicinal property, and 1t has
frequently been proven that 1T is
useless, both as a food and medl-
cine. A. j. REMSBURG.

Has An Iron Jaw.

AS we were coming down from
the postoffice lew days agJ, we
saw a number of young men
testing their muscle by lifting a
hundred pound bundle of wire,
raising 1t at arms length above
the head, and bringing il down
upon the shoulders. About this
time George Regl came along,
and intlmated that that was
chlld's play-that he could lift
two such bundles with his teeth.
AS there was no good way to get
hold of the bundles of wire with
his teeth, he offered to carry
Barber r. M. Downes across the
street by his teeth, but Mr..
Downes was afraid to risk his
avolrdupois; and then George
turned to John Taylor, a young
man who tips the beam to the
tune of 1856 pounds, and picked
him up by the waistband of his
trousers, and carried him across
the street by his teeth, not touch
ing him with his hands.
