Peculiar Case of Oklahoma Boy
Again Draws Attention.
10 Rapidly ResaInIns His Normal
Health and the '"osslfed" condl.
ton Of His Body 10 Die
appearing.

Enid, Okla.-Merle Rea, the thir'
t~een-year-old son of MI. and Mrs. p.
A. Rea Of near Enid, Okla. who at
tracted nationwide attention q few
months ago as the "ossified" boy, 10
rapidly regaining his normal health
and the "ossiied" condition Of his
body is disappearing. This boy was
afflicted in q way that was q puzzle to
all the physicians who examined him,
and there was never q. man for q long
time who would eve attempt q dag
nosis of the disease. The boy was n
most q human rock"
Some time before the disease made
its appearance he received q fall from
q second-story building, striking on
his back and shoulders. He appar.
emily was not seriously injured at the
time, but some time later his mother.
in washing him. noticed that there was
q hard place on the back Of his neck.
Soon this became very noticeable and
began to spread. The boys body was
literally petrifying. His skin became
80 hard from the top Of his head to
the soles of his feet that he was not
able to move around at all. Then the
disease began to spread to his internal
organs and the flesh OF his body. His
tongue became hardened SO that he
couldn't move it at all.
About that time physicians all over
the western part Of the United States
became interested in the case and a
number of clinics were held and the
lad examined in every way. However,
according to them, there was neve a
parallel case before in the history of
medicine.
Finally a treatment was taken up
on the supposition that the lad had
been injured in the fall and that there
was a spinal cord pressure that was
in some way tying up the muscular
action to an extent that the part OF
the body affected was simply dying.
Apparently the guess was correct,
for the body responded to the treat
ment, and the lad now is almost well.
His disease in the first place and
then the apparent cure, form one of
the most amazing science has q
record OF.

Machine Gun and Automatic
Pistol the Work Of a
FOND OF BANJO AND FISHING
John N. Browning Of Ogden, Utah,
Honored by King Albert Of Bel.
GUM, Who Gave Kaiser NIL
IIonth Weapon, Made In
Gold,

Ogden, Utah.-That the inventor OF
some Of the most deadly weapons be-
ing used in the war in Europe should
be an American Is but q natural ex.
pectation from the Unborn inventive
ness of the people Of this country, but
that he should be a man Of peace, q
member in good standing Of the Nor.
mon church and practically unknown
to the world at large will come az q
surprise to many.
This notable inventor is John M.
Browning Of Ogden, Utah. Through.
out his own state he is hailed as "the
frearm wizard" but the great major.
ity Of newspaper readers probably
have never heard of him.
Browning is the first man who ever
harnessed the "kick" of a gun, and his
invention revolutionized practically
every form of firearm. Many thous.
ands of his machine guns and more
than a million of his automatic pistols
are in use on the %battlefields of
Europe today. They are to be found
wherever there is an armed force
throughout the civilized world.
Plays Simple Melodies.
Yet John M. Browning's chief de-
light In life lies in playing simple
tunes on his banjo in his home, and
when he takes a vacation it Ia usually
In the form Of a quiet fishing expedi-
ton with some of his sons and friends.
His lame has rarely been mentioned,
though that Of the weapons he in
vented is a household word.
All the same, this simple, unassum-
ing inventor has associated with roy
atty, and a memento of his work is
one Of the most curious possessions Of
no less a parsonage than the kaiser,
Q little pistol on which William II
must look with strangely mixed feel
lngs these days. It Is q gift to him
from Albert, King Of the Belgians.
Every part Of the Colt machine
gun, the deadly work Of which was
first seen in the Philippines, was in
vented by John M. Browning. From

WAR ON 1.-TWO FOR" CIGARS
to Pry into Manufacture Of
Cheap Smokes.

Montclair. N. J.-Captious citizens
want the health department of this
town to extend it's paternalism to the
two for" cigars sold here. The board
of health's operations now include,
among other things, the supervision
Of the milk supply and the manufac'
ture Of ice cream, the dispensing OF
soda water, the washing Of glasses in
beer saloons and the elimination Of
mosquitoes. w.
Those who would have the health
authorities pry into the manufacture
Of the cheaper cigars assert that they
are AZ much q menace to health as
impure milk, infected beer glasses
and the mosquito. Few cigars are
manufactured in this town, but It ID
asserted that the health department
has AZ much right to control the
sourc Of the cigar supply as it has
to insist on certain regulations for the
protection Of the towns milk supply,
most Of which comes from New York
state.
