THE OLD MEN
CBy R. c. Fry.)

zEAN BARRATTE moved slowly to
the window of his farmstead and
=. looked on the winding Moselle as
It threaded its way among the hills.
1t was August 1870, barely three
weeks since the joyous armies of
France has sailed forth to aVenge the
insults of Bismarck upon their en-
peror.
old Jean Barrette thought with bit
terness of the departure of the sons of
the village to the stage of war. His
own boy, Pierre, a laughing, Vivacious
lad of 20, had gone with them to take
up arms with the cath regiment of
fusiliers. Together they had marched,
his son with his friends sons through
those woods until they were lost to
sight as they topped the hill to de-
scend to the other side.
Now all was changed No longer
Frenchmen cried "a Berlini," but called
on the mercy of the good God to spare
their countrymen. For the Germans
swarmed over the frontier as a de-
vastating tornado, and the troops of
Napoleon III were caught UP and
swept backward irresistibly
Suddenly Jean Barrette started, and
his grim thoughts gave place to
greater sorrow. A thin. wan voice
called his name from the farther room.
Jean" the voice called, Il want you,
dear"
Coming. Louise" Jean Barrette re-
piled, and tried to make his voice
cheerful, but the false note did not de-
ceive her as she lay weak in sickness.
Tell me the news, Jean, beloved"
she said, as he stood at the bedside
looking down on the frail woman. The
wars all well with our boy?"
A great anger filled jeans breast
that gave place Immediately to bitter
hopelessness. His wife had never been
well and with the outbreak of the war
and the departure of Pierre. Louise had
broken down completely. She seemed
not to care whether she lived or died.
Hopeless, Louise" he groaned. God
knows what the news is now. First
it was Weissenburg, then again at
Worth. and. again Forbach. And Nil
Jus has told me that Metz has fallen.
Can nothing stay them? Would I had
my strength again to hold a rifle or
swing a sword as the Old Guard did
at Malakoff in '55."
And what of Pierre?" she asked in
a voice of fear.
Jean Barratte shook his head slowly.
1T is Gods mercy whether he is
alive or dead" he mUrmured He is
our son, and a son of France. Would
you have him here with US in this time
of need, dear2"
Louise smiled a little YEARLY.

The dealers in laundry equipments
now have complete sets of chemicals
for spot removal, together with clear
directions for their use. These are in
great demand for the small steam, and
also for few of the high grade hand
There is no place in which the mod
ern steam laundry methods are used
TO greater advantage than IN the hos
requisite amount of clean linen be
kept in readiness. One of the most
useful parts of the hospital laundry
equipment is the steam drying room
which makes it possible to prepare
enormous quantities OF linen in a few
hours The hospital laundry is prin-
cipaIly for flat work and speed is the
greatest requirement. It may be nee
essary to have 50 sheets and several
hundred towels prepared in few
hours One of the chemical problems
now being considered in connection
with hospital laundry work IS the de-
Odorizing of articles used IN the dress
ings of surgical patients. So far II

The sanitation of the steam laundry
adds much to its value IN a hospital
Il is claimed that there IS no posi-
bility of disease germs surviving the
processes now in use While of course
no public Iaundry will take the goods,
knowingly from any place where there
is contagious disease, it is claimed that
even the clothing of infectious pa
tients might be safely washed in a
steam laundry so far as the danger of
spreading the disease in this way is
concerned. The danger would be to
the person in the laundry who han
die the garments before they are

COMMERCE. COMMISSION MAY
SUSPEND INCREASED II A.

Washington. D. c., Aug. 2O-Trans-
continental railways are facing sus-
pension, by the interstate commerce
commission, of advances in freight rates
proposed recently. The new rates, to
become effective September >, would
increase the transportation charges of
many commodities from the Atlantic
seaboard to Pacific terminals. They
would also make some reductions to
mountain destinations.
It appears likely that many of the
proposed increases will be suspended,
pending a thorough inquiry. Generally,
the increases would be made by the
cancellation of existing commodity
rates. thereby forcing the commodities
to take the higher class rates.

our community four demonstration

Vigorous Campaign for the

| ST. Clouds assertion that the pro-

Stearns county from St. Cloud TO AL
bany is joke, has not one iota OF
fact for its foundation. 1t looks as
Though St., Clouds begin to realize
that fact, for it's newspapers. which
at first ridiculed the idea, are now
maintaining silence deeper than
that maintained by the late unlament-

returns of the November election.
The fact is that never in the history

deep-seated and whose hackers are so
earnest and sincere. 1t takes a little
time to perfect the proper organiza-

completed it will cause the st. Cloud

''cuss words" thrown in, than that
sheet ever executed before in the
span of it's natural life.
The newspapers of the county, out
side of those in ST. Cloud, are solid
for county seat removal. Albany is

The inaccessibility of the present
county seat for the larger part of the
