Frog Lives in Woman's stomach.

Washington, d. c., July s. A live
frog that crawled and clawed and
crOaked lived for nearly year in the
stomach of Mrs. l.. V. King of Dean
Wood
After clawing away at the lining
of the woman's stomach until it was
raw with pain, almost strangling
her as it climbed into her throat and
fairly reducing her to a living skel-
eton it was finally extricated by the
physicians in the emergency hospi-
tai. They used large pump.
The frog is now preserved in al
cohol. 1t is a weak, colOred, wrink-
led ard siapeless specimen. bearing
faint resemblance to the normal frog.
Its legs are long and scrawny and
thin as toothpicks 1t measures all
told, about seven inches.
Just as it was breaking out of the
egg the tadpole was swallowed by
Mrs. King in we'll water last August.
Weeks passed before the woman re-
allied that there was some living an
imal in her stomach. She consulted
doctors, but they laughed at her
Last spring the frog. now reaching
to its full growth. began to climb in
to her throat and nearly suffocated
her. 1t clawed away at the mem
braae until she several times tainted
from pain. Still the doctors, when
she told them of her fears, laughed.
Two months ago, Mrs. King de-
olares, the frog began to croak. She
distinctly heard it many times, and
her relatives bear her out. That de-
termined her to leave the physicians
of Dean Wood severely alone and
consult ''city doctors"
She did so, going to the emergen-
cy hospital and the frog was pumped
out of its hiding place.
The frog lived ten minutes in a
tub of water. 1t croaked and sang
just like any other frog, then 1t died.
According to the physicians this is
the first time on record that any anil
NAL OF the proportions of frog has
ever lived in human stomach, at
least for the period of IL months.
1t is a most remarkable case.

Seeing America First.

Records Of travel show decided
falling off this year in Americans
touring Europe and corresponding
gain in Americans seeing their own
land. Without disparaging the val
ue of foreign travel-for it has its
ntages-Americans can we'll af-
ford to take a lay-off one year and
do the most of their sightseeing at
home. Many Of them rCcst familiar
with European pieces know too little
by personal observation of surpas-
singly more scenic and interesting
parts of the United States. Ambas-
sador James Bryce, one of the most
noted of world travellers, in an ex-
haustive comparison of natural seem
'eries, puts America far ahead of ev-
cry other land So from that stand
point our people lose nothing by
seeing America first" If we were
to assign a reason for this turn in
travel tables this year, it would not
be the Titanic tragedy so much as
the persistent and continuous cam
paign OF publicity intelligenty car
ried on by the promotion agencys.

A CASE OF DISCRIMINATION.

winch Oh AoWd creamery SenQS out

moisture in excess Of the standard
fixed by the internal revenue depart
nent. the penalty for each offense
ranges from 800 to $3.50. A number
OF Iowa creameries have paid the pen
atty for the offense and there is much
complaint from those who have been
thus penalized
Under the ruling as TO what consti-
tutes adultaated butter and the pen
alties made and provided for offenses
coming under this head about the only
justifiable complaint the creamery man
can make Is against the officer who
made the test The creamery man
knows what his butter must be to be
safely marketable. II he desires and
attempts to sell excess moisture at
80 odd cents a pound and the COB
bleuns get him nobody is likely to
weep with him over the penalty as
officers are prosecuting him that is a
different thing But there is no prob
ability that they are doing anything
but their duty.
The creameryman does not seem to
be the victim Of discrimination when
the good solid nne Is put upon him.
but the food aduIterator seems to be
getting the best Of It in fines. The
use Of benzoic acid In excess draws
comparatively light hne which the

And yet. water Tn the butter Is az

OF lifting him, our system aids directly

Take All instance: The other day
at the Marshalltown Club the super
intendent Of the county farm was
asked about man who had lately
taken up residence there mainly on
account Of serious injury which I'M
fitted him for work. why, Old --
is a fine old fellow" said Superintend-
ent Koontz. The fact is that the man
referred to is a pleasant person to get
along with. willing to work and anxi-
GUS to render service for service But
this same man has bee. utterly worth
less as citizen except and merely for
the labor he has performed for the
best part Of twenty years. He worked
hard at the hardest kind OF labor,
drank all his wages at night and was
q regular patron Of the jail broke his
hard working wife's heart and made
his children ashamed. The home was
a he'll until the wife divorced herself
in her failing years and her growing
boys put her in a decent little home

was disgustingly ugly, brutal. Sober
he was a hard working man and "a
fine old fellow" In Jail he was lost. a
contemplate thing. Out at the county
farm he is q pleasant old fellow and
likeable.
That is all. Which is the best way ?
Where would Old - have been

benefited his family most, in Jail or
earning wages under restraint? Would
society have been benefited or in
jured? In this age Of efficiency, when
the secret of success is in doing the
greatest volume of business on the
least percentage of expense, isn't 1t a
most wasteful and unbusinesslike pro-
cess to waste men in jail and main
tain system Of machinery to handle
