WHAT SHOULD BUSINESS FEAR.

WHAT SHOULD BUSINESS FEAR:
The treasurer OF the New York state
committee sent out 10000 letters TO
Republicans asking for SUBSCRIPTIONS
and one OF these sends his answer TO
the Herald. 1t contains this para
graph:
The best thing you and the leaders
Of your party could do at this stage OF
the game Is to fight shy Of business
men and let them forget. There are
a great many Re- ublicans who are
not as sure as you OF dangers ana un-
certainties following the election OF
Bryan. but who are sadly familiar
with the dangers and uncertainties
which we're brought about by the
last seven years Of Republican mis-
rule in Washington and who Will take
this opportunity to teach the party a
well needed lesson BY voting for bry-

This was from . Republican expect
ed by the party authorities to sub

York take this view? How can a

UNNECESSARY NOISES.


warfare against unnecessary noises
Is waged. There Is room for activity
along this lire in Newport News. al
though 1t is probable that the aver
age citizen. II he has ever thought
about it at all, has taken 1t for
granted that any protest against
noises would be In vain.
The unnecessary noises begin early
ana continue until late. First comes
the truckers wagon, at the crack OF
dawn, Just when the real. sound
sleeping begins. A normal human
can become accustomed to almost
anything, but one must be o little
better than q normal sleeper II he

wounds 'veg-e-tab-bles' nine
times in rapid succession beneath
I ones window. And II one stirs at
all. he hears for the next three min
utes everything known to the truck
er's cart mentioned few times.
Then, about the time another doze Is
working around ones way, the per-
torrance 10 repeated. Along through
the remainder of the morning come
the crab man, the fish man, the oys-
ter man, the hominy man and vari-
ous other personages, each Of whom
has q noise peculiar to himself. 1t
n needless to mention that most OF
these vendors carry conch shells
and II there Is anything in the world

: than the foot of q conch shell, the

THE STORY OF PARASITES
By James Carter Beard

the rypanosona. is without doubt one of the
round worms to which group all those already
described belong. the dreaded trichina. 1t is
a tiny creature from one to three millimeters
long, which when mature lives in the intestines
of man or of pig or other mammal. The
young alive when they are born, pierce the
walls of the intestines and establish themselves
in the voluntary muscles of their host, especially
those of the back, the arms, and the legs. 1t
has been estimated that at least one hundred
million worms exist in fully "trichinized "
human subject. The subject suffers intensely,
and sometimes ne .d dies; ;t It is necessary tor the
worm that the flesh in which it is embedded
be eaten by some other animal.
The tsetse, the native African name for a
two-winged fly (Glossina morsitans), has long
been known as a terrible pest in some parts of
South Africa. 1t is about the size and has
much the appearance of the common house

This. which was told to me in good faith by

the threadworms of the families Gordfas and
Mermithide abound. These hairworms are
curious and wonderful creatures, and their
life histories. to those who love nature study,
are stranger and far more interesting than
a tale from the Arabian Nights Although
they lead free life after attaining maturity,
these worms prefer to spend the largest por-
tion of their lives inside of insects. Their sor-
did souls, like those of all parasites, are con-
tent with an inactive life, where, dead to every

Ravages of the Guinea Worm

THE guinea worm when it finds entrance
into human being, most often locates it
self in the leg of its victim where it grows to its
full length before it can be dealt with safely:
for the immature worm comes in pieces easily
and is likely enough to cause blood poisoning
or most painful and even dangerous tumors
to arise. if the smallest part of its organism is
left in the wound. When the head of the worm
appears outside, however, which it does when
mature it is wound about a small piece of
bamboo. together with as much Of the worm
as can be safely drawn out without breaking
it. This is secured, and the rod bound close
to the wound Next day little more of the
worm is drawn out and wound on the rod. BY
keeping this up for a sufficient length of time.
perhaps for two or three weeks, or even
more. according to the length of the worm
that is embedded in his flesh, the sufferer,
provided that sufficient care has been taken
in the operation not to break the worm IN
two. is relieved.
The most terrible parasite however, except
