GARBAGE QUESTION
IS HARD TO SETTLE
That old tin can.

That old tin can.
City Engineer Raleigh says it
is the stumper in the garbage
disposal question. Raleigh, Woods
and Seymour looked over all kinds
of garbage plants in the east.
Cleveland has the best idea and
makes money out of garbage.
But Cleveland doesn't handle
the tin can. She just dumps him
in a low place and covers him up.
Raleigh says this is not sanitary.
OF course the tin can can be
melted up and make good iron but
it costs more than it is worth.
When the mayor gets back the
commission will tackle the garb-
age question.

with such implements as disk har-
rows, section steel harrows or other
pulyerizing tools.
Sow about 80 pounds of seed per
acre and cover lightly. The main
object Is to get very thick stand.
The alfalfa may be moved several
times during the fall and winter to
make It stool out II is necessary
to have solid mat on the soil In the
spring before the weeds and grass
come up.
Burr clover should also be sown in
September. This clover will do well
on nearly any rich, well drained land.
The land should be well prepared and
then seeded at the rate Of is pounds
per acre. Clean seed are preferable
to seed In the burr.
While alfalfa has never succeeded
on other than lime land. burr clover
does remarkably well on practically
all the rich. well drained land In the

GOOD SEED AND LIVE STOCK
Farmers Living Near Beaver Dam
Wis, Form Association for Their
Mutual Benefit.

The farmers and stock breeders liv'
Ing near Beaver Dam, Wis, are Co
operating In very effective and sat
isfactory manner In the sale Of pure
bred grains and pure bred live stock.
The secretary OF this popular coop
erative selling organization is Henry
Z. Kruger Of Beaver Dam, Wis.
The association was organized for
the purpose Of disseminating choice

Every farm operated by member
of this organization is inspected an.
nually by an officer appointed by the
state civil service commission and any
grain or seeds containing seeds or
noxious weeds is carefully guarded
against. All seeds offered for sale
are tested by the seed inspector at
the state experiment station.
All varieties OF seed offered for sale
by the members Of this association
have been carefully tested for years
and improved by careful selection and
cultivation and can therefore be re-
lied upon.
The Wisconsin agricultural expert
ment station has rendered the state
and nation excellent service in this re-
spect and has proved to be the great
est factor for the improvement OF
both yield and quality OF Wisconsin
grains and forage plants. To such as.
sociations as the above is due the
credit for Wisconsin's position as sec.
ond to none in the world as seed
grain center.
The foW.page leaflet (3x6) issued
by the Beaver Dam club contains the
names OF members having grain or
live stock for sale and the number Of
bushels OF each kind OF seed and the
number OF head OF registered breeds
OF live stock.
This leafet. costing not more than
81 per thousand, has doubtless been
distributed by each member having
anything to sell and contains offers as
follows.
The numbers in parentheses indi-
cate the number Of men having the
variety OF seed or breed OF live stock
for sale, viz:
Live Stock. Cattle. Holsteins (0.
Jerseys W. Swine. Poland China l).
Berkshires (2). Yorkshires %. Poul.

There should be similar organiza.
ton to the above In each county In
Illinois among the farmers.
II Is only necessary to call the at
tention OF farmers who breed pure
bred live stock and good seed to the
advantage of the line OF cooperation
referred to above to ensure the forma-
ton Of similar organization In each
county OF Illinois.

QUEER DISEASE IS
IN UNITED STATES
Many Here Afflicted With Odd
AiIment, Says Prof.
Munyon.
GREWS0ME. CREATURES
VERY COMMON,
FINDS EXPERT.

Many people In the United States are
afflicted with queer disease. according
to statement yesterday by Professor
James NJ. Munyon. He made the follow
ing remarkable and rather grewsome
statement:
MANY persons who come and write to
my headquarters at SD and Jefferson
Sts.. Philadelphia, Pa. think they are
suffering from simple stomach trouble,
when In reality they are the victims Of
an entirely different disease-that Of
internal parasites. which locate in tie
upper bowel and consume a large per-
centage OF the nutriment in undigested
food. They sometimes grow to length
Of forty to sixty feet. One may have
tape worm for years and never know
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-
ertion. The tape worms rob one OF am
bltlon and vitality and strength. but they
are rarely fatal
"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 victim OF tape
worm.
THE most common symptom OF this
trouble Is an abnormal appetite. At
times the person Is ravenously hungry
and cannot get enough to eat. At other
times the very sight of food is loathsome.
There Is a gnawing. faint sensation at
the pit Of the stomach. and the victim
has headaches. fits OF dizziness and nau-
sea. He cannot sleep at night and often
thinks he Is suffering from nervous pros
tration.

wonderful success In eliminating these
great creatures from the system. In the
