QUEER DISEASE IS
IN UNITED STATES
Many Here Afflicted With Odd

Munyon.
GREWS0ME CREATURES
VERY COMMON,

Many people in the United States are
afflicted with a queer disease. according
to a statement yesterday by PROFESSOR
James M. Munyon. He made the follow
ing remarkable and rather grewsome
statement:
Many persons who come and write to
my headquarters at SD and Jefferson
suffering from a simple stomach trouble.

an entirely different disease-that OF

the cause of his or her Ill health.
Persons who are suffering from one
of these creatures become nervous, weak
and irritable. and tire at the least ex-

bition and vitality and strength, but they
'The victim Of this disease is apt to
believe that he is suffering from chronic
stomach trouble, and doctors for years
without relief. This is not the fault OF
the physicians he consults, for there Is
no absolute diagnosis that will tell posi-
lively that one is not q victim OF tape
worm.
''The most common symptom of this
trouble is an abnormal appetite. At
times the person is ravenously hungry

There is a gnawing. faint sensation at

Old Dutch Windmill.

before the war at Lawrence, but this
one was blown down several years
ago.
The mill was built by Charles
Schwarz- He came from Holland. He
had been a miller in his native land
and when he came to Kansas to seek
his fortune on a prairie farm he found
it was many miles to a mill.
Schwarz saw in this an opportunity
for he had been a miller in the old
country and the strong winds of Kan
sas reminded him of the ocean winds
that sweep across the dikes Of Holland
and turn the mills dotted all over that
country, SO he conceived the idea OF
making the bold, free winds of the
prairie pay toll by turning a mill that
should grind the peoples grain.
But there was no machinery in this
country for such a mill, SO with great
care and pains, he drew on papel
drafts Of every wheel and cog and
lever and bolt, and taking them to Lin
coin, Neb., had the plans worked out
and the parts forged In the foundry
there.
And for nearly forty ears the oil
mill has been doing duty, working
when the wind blows, resting wheI
the calm comes; teaching its genia
master many a lesson in patience, fur
nishing food for the public roundabout
and a competence for the man VIII,
saw an opportunity and had the skill
and perseverance to accomplish wha
was. in that day, a really great under
taking.

THE true religious man, amid all

This, going out and coming in amid

thirsty tyrants, the fierce democracy
abroad, the fercer i'll at home-the
saint, the sage of Athens, was still
the same. Such a one can endure
hardness; can stand alone and be
