The first case of typhoid fever among 175 persons who took the antityphoid fever serum at Logansport, after the 1913 epidemic then 1 . Is Clifford Scott. He is in a critical condition. He took tho complete course of treatment list January under the direction of the medical society of that city.

Many of the big ice houses about the lakes have a goodly portion of last year’s cutting still in store. This means while some ice houses are empty, many of them still hold over a goodly stock, and the cutting in general will he the lightest in years.

In the December Woman’s Home Companion appears a. department oi household news called “The Ex change,” in which readers contribute ideas which they liaye developed out of their own experience. A Missis hippi woman fells as follows, how tn r.cale fish with a minimum of fort. Scaling tiwlr as generally don' isf a disagreeable task as scales fly in every direction. I have discovered that fish may be scaled without this trouble if they arc held under waler in n large pan during the operation Have just enough water to cover the fish nicely.” “Buffalo Bill” and the business men of Cody, Wyoming, where he lives, liave agreed this year, as they did last, that every piece of mail which goes out of the town during the month of December should bear a Red Crc-s seal. Last year, led by Buffalo Bill, they purchased 22,500 seals —a record which will probably go .unbeaten in this country for the greatest use of seals per capita. Cody has a population es about 1,000 and the seals purchased mean that they used nearly twenty per capita. It your town go ing to sell five or ten for each inhabitant? If not, wlty not? Monday marked a new epoch in Indiana in the handling of prisoners, because for the first time in the history of the state criminals are being cared for at a prison without walls. Twenty-four prisoners from the Michigan City state prison arrived at the state penal farm, five miles south of Greencastle Monday afternoon, and are the first men to be cared for by the state at the new institution obtained through special legislation and the expenditure of 500,000. Tile twenty-four men from Michigan City arrived during the afternoon in charge es guards and were turned over to Charles F. Talkiii 'ton superintendent of the farm. They are now under his cure and he is responsible for them. In the current issue of Farm and Fireside appears an editorial calling attention to the fact, that companies furnishing compressed gas are about to enter the rural field and furnish trofflcd for f?’.rn! uso. Tho cliiiin is made that r l ottie containing 200 cubic foot of gas will supply the nv erage farm bouse for a month at a cost of something les i than $2 ->O. Herbert Quick, editor of . Farm and Fireside. concludes his editorial setting fortii these facts with the following statement: “The man who builds a new house should remember these things and put. in gas pipes while the building is under construction. It doesn’t cost much then, and the pipes can never be installed so cheaply again, nor can i-o good a job be done in putting them in. The time seems so be coining when gas will be as common in farm houses as in cities.”

Beforo returning they will also call on friends at Elida, Ohio. In order to avoid all chances of rieing at the station, Mr. Augsburg' r hired an tuto to take him to P.wtland. A couple of miles south of Berne the auto got stuck. Something happened to the engine. The chauffeur wa. un able to remedy the malady and thus a second auto had to be summoned to take tin l “newly-weds” to their destination. Superstittious people might make a fitting prophecy of this little incident. Seven hundred bushels of potatoes and a large box car wiped out and the southwest end of the. Pennsylvania bridge over the St. Mary's river at Fort Wayne was badly damaged shortly after seven o’clock Monday night when the axle of a box car :-n local freight 76 came of! while the ■ar was passing over tho bridge. The ear was set on fire from a heated box and burned up. and the ties on the bridge were burned beforo the fire could be gotten under control. Tim burning car was finally pulled from the bridge witii an engine and thrown into the river and potatoes were scattered all about, roasted well with none to eat them. The road was blockaded for several hours. The steel frame work on the bridge was considerably twisted and damaged. — o COMMENDS THE SALE Os Red Cross Seais —President Will Use Seals on All of His Mail. Washington, I).
