upon little ant to sew up his wounds
when he is slashed or scratched. Truth

the job no better than these little in-
sects.
The ant has two strong nippers on
his head. They are his weapons for
battle or forage.
When Brazilian has cut himself, for
example, he picks up an ant, presses

water supply company in the North
End. Some of the machinery for the
works has been received and the filters
will arrive later on. There is much
