ANIMAL PARASITES.
Every Living Creature Has Something
That Preys Upon 1t.

lt"N
All animals, both large and small,
suffer as severely as animals in the
matter of parasites. The parasite or
the ostrich is a fOrmidable-lOOking eX-
ample. The most interesting OF the
pigeons parasites is the one known as
the slender pigeon louise, which is sup
posed to do good service to the bird
by thinning its plumage as the weather
grows hot. Fish also have parasites.
The legs of one variety which inhablts
the earn and pike are attached to the
posterior part of its anatomy, and con-
stitute paddles by means OF which the
organism can change its host and de-
part to pay it's attentions to anolher
fish. Two dark spots in the fore part
of the creature represents the first pair
Of legs, which have been converted
into suckers, by mean Of which the
ORGANISM retains hold Of its host.
There is good reason to believe that
this pike louise" is not a parasitic tor
ment. but rather a desired attendant.
In all probability it derives its nour'
isbment from the mucous products Sc
GREETED by the skin of the fish. n
when it is satisfactorily arranged the
toilet of one fish it abandons it for an
other which needs its help.-Leslies

n REAL CRANK

A crank is one who stands In beaten
mathis when common sense tells him to

The real crank is one who persists
in using coffee because accustomed to

one who always pays the penalty,
while the sensible person who gives up
Coffee and takes on Postum Food
Coffee in it's place enjoys all the bene'
fits of returning health.
A well known manufacturers agent
of New York City visited the grocery
denartment of one of the big New
York stores not long ago and there he
tasted a sample cup of Postum made
the right way. He said afterwards:
"Just through the energy OF that young
woman who was serving Postum there

FIRE SWEEPS FOREST.

Ripple, Mimi. June IT. Several
thousand dollars worth of timber dam
aged, dozens Of settlers made home
less and the BURBERRY crop destroyed,
is the result of a forest fire that has
ragged the past week a few miles north
of here. The fire spread slowly against
the wind, and the efforts of Wardens
and settlers are poWerless to check it.
A long dry spell had prepared the
feast, and trees, green vegetation, and
even the soil to a depth of several
inches were consumed. Six sections
were devastated. The absence OF
strong winds and the falling of rain
were the only conditions that pre-
vented the most disastrous forest fire
of Northern Itasca county. Burning
brush piles started the fire.
