eivino Him Carte Blanche.

A few years ago John Kendrlck
Bangs, the humorist, told a number Of
his Broadway literary confreres that
he felt particularly elated over an or
der he had just received from Henry
w. Savage, the theatrical producer,
for the libretto of musical comedy.
The play was produced few months
later. During the long period Of re-
hearsals so much of Bangs material
was eliminated and so much other ma
terial inserted in its stead that when
the curtain went up on the first night
not more than half a dozen of the
original lines remained.
About a week later friend, meet
ing Bangs, asked him if he was writ
ing any more plays for Savage.
YES" replied Bangs. only an
hour ago / sent him 500 blank sheets
of paper and told him to go as far as
he liked."-Irvin Cobb in New York

Nature, as a rule, takes the appetite
away when one is coming down with
cold or other infectious disease and
nature is wise. Don't coax Mary to
eat when she has cold Don't allow
the neighbors to tempt Johnny with
calf's foot jelly or other dainties.
When suffering from n cold the diges-
tive organs are in no condition to care
for food The digestive juices are al
tered or entirely absent. One or tw

Of fasting would be to subsst for on

subaltern with the challenge that he
pronounce it. The young fellow look

it on the garrison club piano II the in

Making q Major.

John Esten Cooke, who went into
the war as an enlisted man IN Rich
mond battery, was soon afterward np
pointed an officer on the staff of Gen
eral ]. Il. Il. Stuart. On Stuart's staff,
Mr.. George Cary Eggleston says in
"Recollections of Varied Life" he
distinguished himself by certain
laughing nonchalance under fire and
by his eager readiness to undertake
Stuart's most perllous missions.
1t was In recognition of some spe.
cially daring service of that kind that
Stuart gave him his promotion. The
delightful way in which the great boy
ish southerner did 1t is best told In
Mr.. Eggleston's own words.
You're about my size, Cooke Stu
art said, "but you're not so broad In
the chest"
"Yes, am" answered Cooke.
Lets see If you are" said Stuart,
taking Off his coat as If for boxing
match. "Try that on
Cooke donned the coat with its three
stars on the collar and found 1t fit.
''Cut Off two Of the stars" Stuart
commanded, "and wear the coat to

send you back to me in n hurry. I'll
need you tomorrow"

Orioin of Coal.

Coal is Of vegetable origin. When
vegetable matter accumulates under
water 1t undergoes slow process of
decomposition, giving off its nitrogen,
hydrogen. oxygen and some carbon,
the result of which If carried far
enough is the formation of mass OF
carbon. Peat, found often in swampy
tracts, is the first stage in the coal
forming PROCESS, and the further
stages are formed by the burial of
these vegetable deposits under great
loads of sediment, where they become
subject to pressure and sometimes to
heat. This effects series Of changes,
consolidation and loss of oxygen and
gives series of products whose ma.
ture depends on the degree to which
the original vegetable matter has been
changed. The products are known as
Ignite, bituminous coal and anthracite
coal

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

Eighteen Months at the states Free
tuberculosis Sanatorlum, 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 coatmaker in the tailoring estab-
lishment OF f. 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 he wasn't in a box, either. He
was here in citizens clothes, looking
as brown as an Indian, and feeling as
frisky as a colt. From Huntingdon
Mr.. Adams went to Mont Alto, Frank.
lin county, where he entered the state
institution for tubcrcular 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 1t
took mighty close watching to keep
body and soul together, but Mr.. Adams
won out, and in midsummer he was
sent to the camp, where he did moth
ing but eat and sleep and breathe the
fresh air of the South mountains. He
remained there eighteen months, and
was in the open all the time. Many
day he rose from his bed with the
snow on his pillows and blankets, but
he improved right along, and In
March he was discharged.
Mr.. Adams is now selling lightning
rods, which gives him constant out
door employment. He will never re-
sumo the tailoring business for fear of
q recurrence of his trouble, He now
eats Ike wood chopper, sleeps like
a baby and is as strong and robust as
youngster in his teens. For years
Mr.. Adams normal weight was 1872
pounds. Now it is 1877. When he left
Huntingdon in April, 1909, he weighed
l10.
The splendid condition of our friend
Is remarkable. Indeed, he is a living
monument to the patience and skill of
the men who have charge of the state
institution at Mont Alto. DR.. H. C.
FrontZ, of Huntingdon, sent Adams to
Mont Alto, and on Monday when he
gazed upon the shadow of two years
ago he could scarcely believe his own
eyes.

How Il Feels TO Be Run Over.

"When | was run over" writes a
correspondent, II had not seen the car
approaching, The first thing l knew
was that l was on the ground, kicking
upward with my legs In an effort to
get from under the car Then felt q
wheel going over my chest, which
bent as 1t passed over, In the inter
vening second or two l went through
several minutes worth of feelings l
had the sensations of astonishment at
being on the ground, of wanting to roll
aside and away, of bracing myself
and my chest especially-stiff to resist
something, whatever it might be, while
a lightning flash of fear was dimly
there and subconscious query, What
on earth neXtT Yet It was hardly
fear, because there was no time for
such a durable sensation. 1t was rath-
er sense of being suddenly confront
ed with a grave reality, of doubtful,
obscurely terrible import" = London
