Bee Industry Started
By Ohio Minister

Columbus, o., July 25-[P)-The
man whose inventions are credited
by beekeepers with having revolu-
tionized the industry was taught and
became a Congregational minister.
He abandoned the pulpit, his life's
work, for beekeeping. He died at the
age of eighty-five, obscure and vir-
tually penniless.
Little known incidents in the life
of the Rev. L L. Langstroth, whom
his biogra pher asserts made possible
the commercial apiary industry of to-
day, are being brought to light as
preparations go forward for memo
rial in his honor at Medina, O., Sep
TENDER 81.
Perfected Movable Frames
Miss Florence Male, secretary of
the Ohio Beekeepers' Association, is
in possession of rare, original records
of Langstroth's career. According to
her. his principal invention was the
movable frame for hives, which he
beekeeper absolute control of his in
sects, a thing. never before possible.
Up to that time, when it was neces-
sary to take honey from the hive, the
bees were smoked out, and most of
them killed in the process. Vita
Langstroth's invention, all that was
necessary was to lift out the frames,
made in sections.
Enlarged "Bee Space"
Langstroth discovered the Gbee
space"-he learned that bees would
not deposit propolis in space ap-
proximately three eighths of an inch
in width-and his frames were based
on that principal. Before that time,
the bees had deposited their secre-
tons. sealing tightly the hive.
He also either helped or himself In
troduced into this country the Ital-
ian bees, which, she said, were far
superior to the German black bees, or
common bees, here up to that time.

The gathering at the memorial also
will mark the completion Of the first
year of a national campaign to estab-
| lish a Iangstroth memorial section In
| the library at Cornell University.

FOOD AND HEALTH
BY wINIFRED STUART GIBBS.
Food Specialist.

Any one suffering from arthritis is
by this time accustomed to being told
that he must look well to his diet.
This Is good advice. The fact remains
that so far not sufficient work has
been done to prove completely just
how much diet may accomplish in re-
lieving or curing this condition.
For some time dietitians have
planned a diet for arthritis with posi-
BILE putrefaction in the intestines espe-
cially in mind. They have also real
ICED tht arthritis seemed to be some
what Of the same nature as govt, and
they have also been occupied with
keeping the quantity Of blood sugar
as nearly normal as possible.
AS a result of recent experiments.
such as are being carried on at the
University of Iowa, some new sugges-
tions are being added to diet
planned for arthritis. These workers
point out that to advise a diet low in
starch and sugar is not always safe, as
1t may be misinterpreted by one who
does not understand scientific terms.
When such diet is advised there
should always be a controlled expert
ment; that Is, a normal person should
be given the same diet, so as to OBJ
serve the effect under normal condi-
lions.
Finally, there is a tendency to as
sumo that diets low in starch and
sugar have curative value in cases of
arthritis. In the courses of expert
ments it was found that even when a
diet high in carbohydrate was given
there seemed to be no great increase
Of the symptoms.
Just what help may the average
person get from the results of these
experiments?
:, Briefly, he is advised to experiment
very carefully with his own case. so
as not to lower the starch and sugar
that is. the high-energy foOd-in his
diet any more than Is necessary.
One who has had some study in this
field on diet and nutrition knows that
all food contributes energy to the
body and that these carbohydrate
foods are especially rich in this re-
gard. So far so good. If the average
person Is to make proper use of his
knowledge, he must be helped to un-
derstand that certain notifications Of
we'll known dietary principles are
necessary. For example, instead OF
allowing himself to cut down ruth
lessly on starch and sugar, the suf-
ferer from arthritis should seek ad-
and ask to have the diet planned in
such a way as to conserve his energy
as much as possible.
Finally, it is good plan to avoid
rigid cut down on any one food ele-
ment under any circumstances. The
modern trend Is all toward reducing
portions If necessary, but keeping the
diet itself as well rounded as possible

r. T. C.-What other things besides
bran cereal, bran walters, stewed
prunes, agar. raw fruits and water
are good for a person troubled with
constipation?
Answer. You should also eat freely
of vegetables. both cooked and raw.
You might try using mineral oil in
your salad dressing. Perhaps your
constipation has been of long stand
ing and you are impatient that the
corrective treatment is not effective
at once. Such a diet should give
results in about a month or six
weeks. On no account take cathar-
tics. An enema could be used until
the diet brings you round to normal.
Unless there is some mechanical re-
striction proper diet will overcome
constipation.
