STATE NEWS.

Jerry Smith, alias Jerry Race,
was taken to Rutland Tuesday by
United States Marshal Horace w.
Bailey, charged with robbing the
United States mails. Smith was
arrested at Windsor at the ex-
piration of a term of from three
to four years in the state prison
for horse stealing. He was sent
enced in Orange county court IN
1909 and his term expired July
Is. The government alleges that
while he was a mail carrier in
West and South Fairlee in 1908 he
distracted from the mail a letter
addressed to a supply company
in Worcester, Mass, with a sum
of money. He was indicted in 1908
but was not located by the autori-
ties until he had been lodged in
jail on the state charge. Smith
claims that Middlebury is his
home. He will probably be tried
at the October term of the United
States court.

WHY WE DETEST PARASITES
Feeling Of Instructive Revision Is
Justified, for They Are Carriers
of Disease.

The feeling OF instructive revui1tDn
against parasites OF all kinds Which
characterizes humanity generally. and
which is due to something much more
than the mere pain or anl-OSance that
their bites might infiict. become more
as further discoveries show
the role OF insects in the spread Of
disease.
Unfortunately this natural abhor-
renee has not been enough to protect
man under conditions of poverty and
uncleanliness from harboring such par
asites, and now those who understand
how much more than mere personal
annoyance is in question from the ex-
istence OF parasites must take up the
problem to eradicate them.
The possibility of the bedbug con-
veying relapsing fever. typhoid and
leprosy has been suggested and ap-
parently there is no parasite of man
that may not be a mode OF disease
conveyance. Files, fieas. mosquitoes
and bugs not only are all under sus'
picion, but most OF them are also
actually demonstrated as ordinary and
frequent conveyors of diseases OF va
rious kinds.
Health authorities must now take
up the problem of getting rid OF In
sect parasites in order to stamp ou
/ disease. - From the Journal OF the
American Medical Association.

MILK INSPECTION IS NO FUN

People.

The trials and tribulations Of milk
inspector trying to force insanitary
people to live according to sanitary
rules are shown in the issue OF the
Healthologist. the official organ of
the Milwaukee health department.
The story follows:
A Milwaukee milk inspector during
a farm inspection, came upon a place
hopelessly filthy. disorderly and run
down. A motherly person with a big
heart, but firm and weird convictions,
listened to the young mans sugges-
lions. Then looking over her spec
tacies pityingly, she said:
boy, my mother was ninety-seven
years old when she died. She was
dirtier than l am, and lived in q
dirtier house and drank dirtier milk.
II she could stand it l guess there
amt no reason why / and the city
folks that get milk from this farm
can't stand 1t too"

argument, the milk inspector left heI

The pistome and the Pearl.

In the opinion of many experts
pearls are the product OF decay. The
free pearls found in the common
pearrbearing mollusk are little tombs
surrounding the bodies OF the marine
worms known as distomes.
In the month of August certain
mollusks are found that have num-
erous small reddish-yellow points in
the spot where pearls usually form.
Then begins the Imprisonment of the
creature. In the first stages the sur
face of the distome is sprinkled with
tiny grains of carbonate OF lime.
These granulations grow and take the
form of crystals which end by form
ing a calcareous deposit around the
creatures body.
