Colleae Land Ordered Sold.

Denver.-The sale OF 5000 acres of
the State College of Agriculture at
Fort Collins has been ordered sold by
the State Agricultural Board. The sale
of this land which will be made by the
State Land Board is one of the larg
est that has been attempted for some
time. 1t is believed that the average
price received for the land will be 20
an acre This will mean a fund OF
100000 for the state school. The
principal derived from the sale of this
land is kept intact and the Fort Col
Inns college receives the interest.
The agricultural board met with the
land board at the State house in Den

oughly. An irrigation project, which,
when completed, will cost more than

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

Many people in the United States are
afflicted with queer disease, according
to a statement yesterday by Professor
James NJ Munyon. He made the follow
ing remarkable and rather grewsome
statement:
Many persons who come and write to
SITS, Philadelphia Pa. think they are
suffering from simple stomach trouble,
when in reality they are the victims Of
an entirely different disease-that of
tape worm. These tape worms are huge
internal parasites, which locate in tho
upper bowel and consume large per-
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 ono
of these creatures become nervous weak
and irritable and tire at the least ex-
bition and vitality and strength, but they
are rarely fatal.
1.-The victim OF this disease is apt to
believe that he is suffering from chronic
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 a 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 gnaWlng, rant 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.
'T have a treatment which has had
wonderful success in eliminating these
great creatures from the system. In the
course of its regular action in aiding
digestion. and ridding the blood, kidneys
and liver of impurities 1t has proven fatal
to these great worms. II one has a tape
worm. this treatment will, In nine cases
out of ten. stupefy and pass 1t away, but
II not, the treatment will rebuild the
rundown person. who is probably suffer-
ing from stomach trouble and a general
anaemic condition. NY doctors report
marvellous success here with this treat
ment. Fully dozen persons have passed
these worms. but they are naturally reti-
cent about discussing them, and of course
we cannot violate their confidence by CIV
