TAPE WORMS GIVEN IN PILLS.
Doctor Accused of Affiicting Women
to Cure Obesity.

A dispatch from Peoria, ILL.,, says:
One Of Peorja's leading society wo-
men, whose greatest dread is getting
fat, congratulated friend, whose
weight had suddenly decreased about
40 pounds, and asked If she attrib-
uted her reduction Of avoirdupois to
Turkish baths.
"Why, no." responded her friend;
II have been taking treatment Of DR..
-, and the pills he gave me are
responsible for this happy result"
The society woman accompanied
her friend to the doctors office, and
paid S25 for two rather large and
uspicious-looking pills, guaranteed
to reduce her weight so pounds
within six months. She decided,
however, to consult her husband be-
fore taking the capsules.
The husband sent the pills TO
Washington to be analyzed by the
public health service. In few days S
government secret official called
upon him and Informed him that
each pill contained the head and first
link Of the body Of tape worm and
sufficient nourishment to maintain
life for probably a week, and that
the secret Of the weight-reductions
accomplished lay wholly in tho sue
cessful Introduction Of the creatures
into the stomachs of the patients and
the consequent debilitating effects.

South Carolina Boy in Trouble.

Washington, Dec. 12.-Capt. Jas.
II. Gibbons, superintendent of the
United States Naval Academy at An
napolis, Md, has recommended the
dismissal Of four cadets, among them
w. II. Saunders, of Sumter, S. c., for
interfering with fourth class man.
The midshipmen whose dismissal is
recommended declare that they were
doing nothing in the nature Of haz-
ing, but were reasoning with Jones
with regard to certain alleged mis-
conduct. The Secretary Of the Navy
has not yet taken action on the case,
but the chances seem to be against
Saunders and the other three cadets,
who undertook to discipline Jones,
as they have all had trouble at the
academy before this.
