New Worm is the Farmers Friend

The agricultural department at
Washington has sent an expert to the
Pacific coast to investigate the habits
and general appetite of a new worm,
which has made its appearance in the
Waalla valley.
1t is probably the most remarkable
worm that has ever turned out from
the laboratory of nature. 1t is the
friend of the farmer. 1t is the only
worm that has ever been known to pre-
fer noXious weeds to the sweet cereals
grown by the Washington husband
a No professor of wormitude here
abouts has eve seen the like.
The worm is coming down the fer
tile inland valleys in a crawling army
a hundred miles long and several miles
wide. Everywhere its approach is her.
aided with acclaim by the farmers.
There is talk among the Legislators of
imposing a fine for its destruction. 1t
is also possible that "wormeries" may
be started for its propagationS
In appearance it is a small drab col
ored object with a striated back and
an incredible appetite for weeds. 1t
eats kirtle-burr as a Mexican burro
eats thistles. Smartweed is pie for it;
even fennel and ragweed do not seem

ease that is most commonly trans
mitted by the house fly is typhoid
fever, and to avoid the I'll we must
get at the root of the evil and effect
a remedy. This is cleanliness about
the house and yard, particularly about
stables, for it is in these latter places
that flies breed. 1t has been found
that when precautions were taken
with regard to the cleanliness of sta
bles the number of flies was SO per-
ceptibly diminished as to make them
scarcely noticeable, with a correspond
ing diminuition in disease of all kinds.
With the germ theory fuzzy developed
and s~ubstantiated by experiments dur
ing a course of years 1t is now known
that it is in this n alone that
disease is spread, and the fly is re-
sponsible for all that the mosquito,
hea and one other little insect, I'M
fortunately well known in many Of
the best families, are not.
The first of all measures to be TAX
en-, says DR.. Howard on the subject,
is to screen the house thoroughly,
killing all flies and mosquitoes that
may have got in before this is done.
If the house once gets filled with flies
it is a difficult problem to eradicate
them, but with these domesticated
ones there is small danger-though
much annoyance. The danger lies
in the entrance of flies from an in
fected locality, for when they alight
upon the food prepared for the table
the disease germs that they brought
with them from the neighboring
house Of illness are deposited on the
food and the person who partakes OF
it is very likely to contract the dis
ease.
The close relationship between flies
and disease and death Is a matter that
calls for the unremitting attention of
all the people so that drastic meas
ures may be taken to check the cause.
Although every fly that enters the
house does not carry the germs of
typhoid on his feet he certainly does
if he has lately visited a house where
that illness exists, and 1t requires
only the proper conditions for the
inmates of the next place of his WIS.,
ington Star.

Per Capita Money.

With a population of 5000, 900,
Colombia has an aggregate circulation
of $500, 100000 in paper currency. This
is a per capita circulation of about

we have in this country. The per

in Colombia, but there is nothing in

London Rumor that Another Amer

Mrs. Frank M. Avery and the Duke

says:
II hear that another fair American,
we'll known in society in London, is
to become an English duchess, but
the engagement has not yet been for

halls from Illinois; she had house
in Grosvenor square during the sea-
son, where she gave several big enter
tainments, and is, or was until quite
recently, in the United States.

Morris Avery, who until recently has
been at the Chicago Beach hotel, fits
the description of the American
widow" in question, but her Amer1-
can friends have no knowledge that
she has lost her heart to a British
peer.
Mrs. Avery's husband died three
years ago, and since that time she
has been living in London. Last year
she had house in Grosvenor square
and entertained deliberately. Last
night Mrs. Avery, who is stopping at
the Manhattan hotel, refused to dis
cuss the rumored engagement.

THE FEAR OF HUMBUG
Prevents Many People from Trying a
Good Medicine.

stomach troubles are so common
and in most cases so obstinate 70 cure
that people are apt to look with sus-
picion on any remedy claiming to be
sia and indigestion. Many such pride
themselves on their acuteness in never
being humbugged, especially In medi-
cines.
This fear of being humbugged can be
carried too far, so far, in fact, that
many people suffer for years with
weak digestion rather than risk a lit
tie time and money in faithfully test
ing the claims made of preparation
SO reliable and universally used as
Stuart's dyspepsia Tablets.
Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different in one important re-
spect from ordinary proprietary medi-
cines for the reason that they are not
secret patent medicine, no secret Is
made of their ingredients, but analysis
shows them to contain the natural di-
gestive ferments, pure aseptic pepsin,
the digestive acids, Golden Seal, bis
muth, hydrastis and nux. They are
not cathartic, neither do they act
powerfully on any organ, but they
plan if digesting the food eaten thor
oughly before it has time to ferment,
sour and ca use the mischief. This Is
the only secret of their success.
Cathartic pills never have ana never
can cure indigestion and stomach
troubles because. they act entirely on
the bowels, whereas the whole trouble
Is really in the stomach.
.Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets taken
after meals digest the food. That Is
all there is to it. Food not digested
or half digested is poison, as it creates
gas, acidity, headaches, palpitation of
the heart, loss of flesh and appetite
and many other troubles which are
often called by some other name.
They are sold by druggists every
where at so cents per package.
