It is hinted at the dairy and food department that there will be some surprises in store for the liquor and beer sellers all over the state. A singular fact in connection with this analysis of liquor and malt bever ages is that samples of porter pur chased from stock that have been recommended by physicians as ton ics, and have been sold as medicines have been found to contain salycilic acid, which is a violation of the law. The analyses have not been com pleted and will not be made public for some weeks. An old man who had never used the instrument would not believe that he could hear his wife talk a distance of five miles by telephone. His wife was in a country store sev eral miles away, where there was a telephone, and the skeptic was in a place where there was a similar instrument, and on being told how to operate it, he walked boldly up and shouted "Hello, Sarah!" At that instant lightning struck the tele phone wire and knocked the man down, and as he scrambled to his feet, he excitedly exclaimed. "By jing, that's her." Did any of our Laporte people who were visitors at the Blooms burg fair, eat any of these sausages? The Bloomsburg Sentinal says:"One of the Fair grafters, who had hard luck at Milton and came here, tells the following story:' 'I had a graft selling hot frankfurters, and I laid in a big supply for Milton Fair, but the rainyj weather was against me. After three days of dampness and no business my sausages began to grow mouldy whiskers. I shaved the whiskers off and gave them another boiling. Still the rain con tinued and there were no customers. A second crop of whiskers began to sprout and this time there were spots that might seem to indicate in cipient small pox. Again 1 shaved them and then they began to devel ope symptoms of gangrene. On corning to the Bloomsburg Fair another boiling helped them some what and aided them to get on their feet again, when we had a good, clear day. Just as a test 1 tried one of the sausages on the I fat man in the side fhow, and shortly afterward he lost weight to the extent of ten pounds; but I managed to get rid of my stock during the course of the dap." The cold wave so much dreaded by most people, is really a blessing in disguise. According to a medi cal journal, it charges the atmos phere with fresh oxygen and a sur plus of fresh electricity, which pro duces a most exhilirating effect upon mankind. Torpid energies are aroused, physical vigor resistance are increased by the advent of a cold wave to such an extent that any in cidental damage is more than made up for. The American climate has always been recognized as a strong factor in causing the aggressiveness and en terprise which have lifted our peo ple into the front rank among nations and made us commer cially supreme. The cold wave with its result of increased energies and vigor, is a meteorological phe nomenon peculiar to this country. The chief of the weather bureau at Washington explains the origin of a cold wave. "It appears that with a high pres sure system rotating with great ve locity, large volumes of cold air are drawn down from above the clouds so that the cold wave is "home made," being simply a product of motion. The system of motion or iginates in the northwest, but the cold air comes from above the clouds. The cold wave is not only useful for its beneficial effect upon the human system, but as a cleansing and pur ifying agency. It dissipates the deadly carbonic acid as, the product of respiration and combustion and the foul effluvia of decaying matter increasing atmospheric circulation and thereby relieving stagnation.
