MARRIAGE GERM IS
BUSY IN HOUSE OF.
TRIPLE WEDDINGS
Three Times in Thirty Days
Occupants Have Been
Caught" in Epidemic.

There's a marriage germ" at the
boarding house, 1924 Thirteenth street
northwest. Though the house has not
a great many persons in it, there have
been three weddings among it's inhabi-
tants in thirty days
The proprietor. now Mrs. Frank D.
Blackstone. formerly Miss Minnie Lee
Hereford, said today:
Il am not keeping a matrimonial
bureau" and laughed.
Mrs. Blackstone, nee Hereford, did
not even set the example for the others,
for she was in the second marriage
which took place in Baltimore July 8.
John E. Lindner and Miss Ebbie Nc
Gowan started the series Of marriages.
Mr.. Lindner, who is from New York,
and Miss MCGOWAN, who came from
North Carolina, were married in the
rectory of the Church of the Ascension
by the Rev. J. Henning Nelms, D. D.,
June IA. They had known each other
at 1924 Thirteenth street for about a
year. Mrs. Lindner has been employed
In the Census Bureau, and Mr.. Lindner
is with typewriter agency.
1t was then that Miss Hereford's turn
came. She and Mr.. Blackstone went
to Baltimore together July 5. and were
married there Mrs. Blackstone con-
ducts a business of stenography and
typing, and Mr.. Blackstone is a lawyer
in the Colorado building. They had
known each other for some time, and
Mr.. Blackstone boarded at 1924 Thir-
teenth street.
Then Mrs. Blackist0ne's brother
Reginald D. Hereford. decided to marry
Or rather got Miss Clara Weiskopf, OF
Plymouth. Wis. to consent TO marry
him. Theirs was TIE most romantic of
the three matches. The others had been
anticipated. and caused very little sur
prise among tho persons in the house.
Mr.. Hereford and Miss Weiskopf had
known each other only one month. She
was in Washington visiting her brother.
Edwin Weiskopf, who also boards at
1924 Thirteenth. 1t was case Of love
at first sight. and on July Is they
slipped out TO Rockville and were mar
lied bv the Rav. Mr. King. They caused
n great surprise when they came back
and announced the fact.
Other members of the household are
hnnefUl or fearful according to their
several dispositions. Nobody can explain
hIst how it all has happened. The house
does not lock romantic. II is of plain
red brick. The only explanation ad-
VanCed is that there must be a mar
riage germ in its walls.
Mr.. and Mrs. Blackstone and Mr.. and
Mrs. Hereford still live there. Mr.. and
Mrs Lindner moved to Eleventh. near
!. street northwest.

QUEER DISEASE IS
IN UNITED STATES
Many Here Afflicted With
Odd Ailment, Says Prof.
Munyon.
Grewsome Creatures Very Common,
Finds Expert.

Many people in the United States are
afflicted with a queer disease, accord
ing to a statement yesterday by Pro-
fcssor James NJ. Munyon. He made the
following remarkable and rather grew
some statement:
Many persons who come and write
to my headquarters at SD and Jefferson
streets, Philadelphia, Pa. think they are
suffering from a simple stomach trou-
BILE, when in reality they are the VIC
tins of an entirely different disease
that of tape worm. These tape worms
are large Internal parasites, which To-
cate in the upper bowel and consume L
large percentage of the rutrtment in
undigested food. They sometimes grow
to a length of forty to sixty feet. One
may have a tape worm tor years and
never know the cause of mis- or her all
ment
Persons who are suffering from one
Of these creatures become nervous,
weak, and irritable. and tire at the least
eXertion. The tape worms rob one of
ambition 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 raYenously hungry
and cannot get enough to eat. At other
times the very sight of food is loath-
some There is a gnawing faint sensa-
ton at the pit Of the stomach, and the
victim has headaches, fits of dizziness,
ard nausea. He cannot sleep at night
and often thinks that he is suffering
from nervous prostration.
at have a treatment which has had
wonderful success in eliminating these
great creatures from the system. In
one course of its regular action in aid
ing digestion and Kidding tho blood, kid
neys and liver of impurities II has
proven fatal to these great worms. II
enc has tape worm this treatment
will in nine cases out Of ten stupefy and
pass 1t away, but If not the treatment
will rebuild the rundown person, who
is probably suffering from stomach
trouble and a general anaemic condi-
ton. Fully dozen persons have passed
these worms, but they are naturally
reticent about discussing them, and, Of
course, we cannot violate their conf
dence by giving their names to the pub
lie"
Letters addressed to Professor James
NJ. Munyon, SD and Jefferson Sts.,
Pa, will receive as care
full attention as though the patient
called in person. Medical advice and

Mr.. and Mrs. w. F. GUIDE

The Washington Florists Club, with
Secretary Of Agriculture Wilson and
Mr.. and Mrs. Richard Vincent of Bal
timore, as special guests, was enter
tained last night by Mr.. and Mrs. Will
liam F. GUIDE. A lecture by Mr.. Vim
cent, vice president OF the American

Horticulturists, and general program
Of music and recitation, formed the
evenings entertainment Tor the $50
guests of the host and hostess. The
beautifully decorated and illuminated
lawn Of the GUIDE residence, at $500 New
Hampshire avenue, and the delicious
menu served, completed one Of the most
enjoyable social gatherings in the his
tory of the club.
Hollands bulb propagating industry,
the source Of the worlds supply, was
the subject of a stereopticon lecture by
Mr.. Vincent. He showed by his views
and explained in his talk all the proc
cesses from the planting of the parent
bulb to the harvesting of the hundreds
of shipping bulbs that IT produces.
The GUIDE lawn was trimmed with fes-
toons of Japanese lanterns that radiated
from the Japanese pagoda IN the center.
From s O'Clock until midnight the

MARINE BAND MAY
MAKE A SIX WEEKS
TOUR OF SOUTH
Senators Appeal to Taft, and
He Indorses Request
to Navy Chief.

The Marine Band probably will make
a six weeks tour of the South. Presi-
dent Taft has been requested by a
number Of Southern Senators to send
this famous organization on a concert
tour of the larger Southern cities and
he favors the idea.
Today the President wrote a letter to
Acting Secretary Beekman winthrop of
the Navy, in which he advocated the
concert tour. He said:
II have no objection to this II you
have none. It seems to me we have
enough bands in Washington to serve
the public here, and that 1t is not
bad idea to famliariZe the Southern
people with body so admirable as the
marine Band"
Senators Taylor Of Tennessee, Clark
of Arkansas. Bradley Of Kentucky, FOs-
ter and Thornton OF Louisiana, Bank
head of Alabama, and Martin of Vir-
ginia, Joined in the request.
Unless Mr.. Winthrop sees some rea-
son why the band should not be sent
South, the trip will begin about Septem-
ber 5, and will continue for six weeks.
All the Southern capitals and many of
the other Southern cities will bid for
the band.
The Central Labor Union Of the Dis
trict of Columbia, has sent resolutions
to the President rotesting against the
proposed AnglO-American treaty. The
local labor people take the position that
this country should not enter into any
''entangling alliances with Great
Britain even though the object is the
end of war. These resolutions are being
given consideration by the President.
Tomorrow afternoon the arbitration
treaties against which the labor union
protests will be signed in the East
Room of the White House. Secretary
Knox will place his signature to the
document oil the part of this Govern
ment, while Ambassador Bryce will
sign II on the part of the English peo-
Pile The French treaty will be signed
n Paris and here, and copies ex-
changed.
The prospect now is that the Presi-
dent will be able to send both conven-
tions to the Senate for ratification at
this session. This will certainly take
place If Congress remains in session
until August 10.
The announcement was made at the
White House this noon day that the
President would not make his statement
in the Wiley case today. The impress
sion prevails that he is waiting to see
What the testimony before the House
committee develops before he reaches
a final decision.
