Jos. Haman, who left Langden three
weeks ago to consult st. Paul specialists
regarding the condition of his health is
now at Mount Clemens, Mich. He is
taking the baths, there but is not fully
satisfied with the results so far. The
doctors who are treating him say that it
will be necessary for him to undergo an
operation before be is much better. It
will in all likelihood be another month
before he is able to come back to
Langdon.
Attorney Gordon McGauvran made a
short visit of a few days during the
week at the home his uncle, Postmaster
McGauvran. Gordon McGauvran is a
former Osnabrock boy, a graduate of
the law school at the state university
and since removing to Washington with
his parents, MI. and Mrs. P. Nc

sides.
3. @. Dedrick, the corner hardware
man, came up from st. Paul on Mondays
passenger, returning home from a stay
there since the holidays while undergoing
medical treatment for his long standing
rheumatic trouble. His fine appearance
upon his return was a pleasant surprise,
and to know that he is again enjoying
a fair share of good health is a matter
of general congratulation among his
friends far and near, who feelingly
appreciated his critical condition when
he left here in January.s just to assure
his friends that he had really taken on
a new lease of life Mr.. Dedrick announc-
ed his intention of putting in an applica-
ton for q position on the Langdon ball

Swarms OF bees are sometimes COM
pelled to take refuge in very remark
able shelters. A peculiar and instruc-
tive instance was observed by me
writer in the spring of 1908. The
swarm flew over large vineyard
which contained low buildings One
of these buildings was constructed OF
hollow concrete blocks. The swarm
flew directly toward small hole in
one OF the blocks and disappeared in
the interior No doubt the swarm
had rested on a tree or shrub on the
preceding day and had sent out scouts
10 seek a home.
The scout found the little hole lead
ing into the great cavity of the con-
crete block, and reported their discov-
ery to their comrades. This case iur-
nishes indisputable proof that swarm
ing bees really send out scouts, as
thew are believed to do, for the little
hole could not have been discovered
in the rapid and lofty flight OF the
swarm.-Scientlf American.

Slavery In England.

Slavery existed in England without
any mitigating features worth speak
ing of until the time of the Wars OF
the Roses. Bracton, the famous law
yer of the time of Henry ILL.,, informs
Ms that the condition of slaves was
fearful. 1t was indeed slavery, pure
and simple. All the goods slave ac'
oulred belonged to his master, VINO
could take them from him whenever
he pleased, the slave having no re-
dress at law. Hence the Impossible
lty Of a mans purchasing his own
freedom. The only hope for the slave
was to try and get into one Of the
walled towns, when he became free
the townsmen granting him liberty on
the condition of his helping them fight
the nobles.-New York American.

HOW MONT ALTO
is SAVING LIVES
This Case Of Young Man From
Huntingdon is Typical Of
Hundreds Of Others.
is WELL AND WORKING

Eiuhteen Months at the States Free
Tuberculosis Sanatorium, With
Proper. Care and Observation OF
Rules, Gave Him Back Health and
Strength.
The following news story, which was
published in the Huntingdon Globe OF
Aug. 10, 1911, gives an excellent idea
of the kind of work that is being done
by the State Department of Health for
Pennsylvania tuberculous poor under
the supervision of State Health Com
missioner Samuel G. Dixon:
Lemuel Adams, who was employed
as a coatmaker in the tailoring estaD'
lishment of +. w. Baldwin in Hunt
ingdon. left here In April, 1909, pre-
sumably in the last stages OF tubercu-
losis. He had fallen off in weight,
was as thin as a MATCH as pale as
death. and when he left here two
years and four months ago none OF
his friends ever expected to see him
| in the flesh again.
But Lem was in town on Monday
and ne wasn't in a box, either. lie
was here in citizens clothes, looking
as brown as an Indian, and feeling as
frisky as colt. From Huntington
Mr.. Adams went to Mont Alto, Frank
lin county, where he entered the state
institution for tubercular cases and be
came an obedient patient under DR.
Johnston, the man in charge.
For three months Mr. Adams occu
pied a bed in the hospital, where !
took mighty close watching to keel
body and soul together but Mr.. Adams
won out, and in midsummer he wa
sent to the camp, where he did moth
ing but eat and sleep and breathe tn
/ fresh air OF the South mountains. IL
remained there eighteen months, AM
was in the open all the time. Many
day he rose from his bed with tn
snow on his pillows and blankets, bu
he improved right along, and i
March he was discharged.
Mr.. Adams is now selling lightnin
rods, which gives him constant ou
door employment. He will never II
sumo the tailoring business for fear
a recurrence of his trouble. He no.
eats like a wood chopper, sleeps lik
a baby and is as strong and robust a
youngster in his teens. For year
Mr.. Adams normal weight was IL
pounds. Now it is 1877. When he le
! Huntingdon in April, 1903, he weighe
110.
The splendid condition of our frien
is remarkable. Indeed, he is a liyin
monument to the patience and skill
the men who have charge OF the sta
institution at Mont Alto. Dr. H.
Frontz, of Huntingdon, sent Adams
] Mont Alto, and on Monday when
gazed upon the shadow Of two yea
ago he could scarcely believe his oN
eyes.

Why Iron Rusts.

British investigators estimate that
the rails Of a single railway system In
England lose eighteen tons in weight
every day, and that the larger part OF
this loss is due to the effects OF rust
The problem Of rust is of great econo-
mical Importance, not only because OF
such losses as that just mentioned
but also because of the great expense
involved in repaintlng iron and steel
structures in order to preserve them'
Thus $4,000 a year Is spent In paint
ing the great Scotch bridge over the
Forth. Recent experiments Indicate
that pure iron in the presence OF
pure oxygen does not rust. 1t ap-
pears TO be necessary for the produc-
ton OF rust that some acid, notably
carbonlc acid, shall be present When
Iron is subjected to the action OF wa
ter containing traces of acid, and In
the presence of atmospheric oxygen,
II always rusts. The rapid rusting oil
Iron in railroad stations is ascribed
to the presence of sulphuric acid de-
rived from the smoke of locomotives
