Simon Leopold Restored To Health Visits Rensselaer.

Simon Leopold arrived here on a night train Wednesday. He weighs 162 pounds and is the picture of excellent health, having a good color and a pair of regenerated lungs. Simon wae attacked with a hacking cough while conducting the Model Clothing Store. He tried to work and get rid of the cough, but failed. He went to a sanitarium in Illinois and improved very little. Finally he went to the Woodmen sanitarium at Colorado Springs, Colo., where he has spent several months. His cough is gone, his color restored, his weight increased and he feels as Simon pure as he did before the T. B. infection had attacked his -lungs. He says that every member of the Modern Woodmen of America should be proud that lie is a member of the order, for they are maintaining a wonderful institution in Colorado and hundreds of lives are saved by it. Mrs. I<eopold and Miss Selma, who went to Colorado Springs some time ago are still there and Simon is undecided just what he will do, the sanitarium doctors regarding it not alto- , gether safe to leave the Colorado climate permanently. There is not much to do, however, in Colorado, because there are so many ‘Hungers” as they call those who are there for their health, who are willing to work for little or nothing while there. The sanitarium doctors have the treatment divided on the following basis, 50 per cent rest, 40 per cent diet and 10 per cent climate. Simon was strong for the rest, liked the climate and submitted with some protest to the diet, as he had always been in the habit of eating about everything he pleased.

Mr. and Mrs. Walter White live at Colorado Springs, and he is a traveling salesman and getting along fine. Walter has become fat, almost as bad a Shape, according to Mr. Leopold, as the Republican editor. In Denver Simon called on Tom Mullen, formerly of Remington. Tom has also accumulated flesh since he located in Colorado. He is the proprietor of the Mullen Kodak Supply Co., of Denver, and is doing a nice business. Simon became well acquainted at Colorado Springs with Ernest Nowels, son of Ezra Nowels and formerly of this city. Ernest is the city editor of the leading paper of Colorado Springs and is a hustler. The many friends of Mr. Leopold will be rejoiced that he has made such splendid improvement and hope that he will eventually he able to make Rensselaer his home again.
