FACTS ABOUT TAPEWORMS.
Their Source Puzzled Scientists Until
Won Siebold Discovered 1t.

A German named Won Siebold made
himself a specialist on tapeworms, ana
in the course of his researches dIscov-
cred that cats and owls were infested
with exactly the same kind Of tape
worms. He then cogitated on what the
bird and the cat could possibly nave III
common. and concluded that it could be
only in the single matter of diet, namely,
that both ate mice. He proceeded then
TO investigate mice, and found in some
Of them not tapeworms, but a great
number Of minute bag-shaped creatures
now called cysticerci, which had bur
rowed into their flesh. These had as
little resemblance as possible to tape
worms, which may be twenty feet long.
He then fed the meat. of such unfortu-
nate mice to dogs, pigs and chickens,
and in due time, 10! all three grew the
same tapeworms with those of cats and
owls. The commonest kind among our
tapeworms comes from eating beef not
sufficiently cooked to kill the cysticercl
in it.-Dr. William Hanna Thomson, in
Everybody'S.

SUFFERED TWENTY-FIVE YEARS

With Ecxema-Her Limb Peeled and
Foot Was Raw--Thought Ampu-
tation Was Necessary-BeIieves
Life Saved by Cuticura.
81 have been treated by doctors for
twenty-five years for a bad case of
eczema on my leg. They did their best,
but failed to cure it. My doctor had
advised me to have my leg cut off, At
this time my leg was peeled from the
knee, my foot was like piece of raw
flesh, and l had to walk on clutches.
I bought a set of Cuticura Remedies.
After the first two treatments the
swelling went down, and in two
months my leg was cured and the new
skin came on. The doctor was sur
prised and said that he would use
Cuticura for his own patients. I have
now been cured over seven years, and
but for the Cuticura Remedies l
might have lost my life. Mrs. ]. B..

Ons are as easily grown as cucumbers

which will mature unless the summer
is unusually short. A rich, light soil,

If there is danger from dry weather
fill an old pail or oyster can (first per-
forating the bottom with nail holes)
with stable manure or poultry drip

keep it moistened. This will not only
furnish moisture but food. The reser-
voir being below the surface will tempt
the roots to grow down instead of seek

from he hose in only small quantities,
and they will be less susceptible to

A large number of men is being given er1- ployment and there will be q stead fer operation of the industries since the big corporation secured control.
