CLASS ANT WITH FLY
BOTH ENEMIES, OF THE HUMAN
RACE, SAY SCIENTISTS.
Pests Are Equally Active in Carrying
Disease Germs = Experiments in
Panama Canal Zone Have Sub
stantiated Theories.

No suspicion until lately has arisen
that the industrious ant might upon
occasion act as the transmitting agent
of infection to man, says the London
Lancet. 1t was known that some spe-
cies, such as the white ant, has very
destructive tendencies in certain parts
of the tropics and that the bites of
some large tropical ants caused
good deal of general disturbance, be-
ing attended with faintness and shiv-
ering and sometimes with temporary
paralysis. 1t was also known that
some savage races used the dried
bodies of ants, beaten into paste, as
an arrow poison, but it is only of late
that suggestion has been made that
this insect might convey pathogenic
bacteria to man. The ant is COM
monty found in and around the dwell
ings of people residing in the tropics.
1t is indeed, matter of difficulty to
keep this insect away from foodstuffs
In such houses, and it is equally diff
cult to keep the ant away from hui
man dejecta when these are not prop
erly disposed Of So that it cannot be
doubted that the ant has the opportu-
nifty of carrying from infected excreta
the specific organisms of disease to
the food stored in human dwellings.
Little or no experimental work,
however, had been done to obtain
proof that ants were capable of trans
mitting disease to man, but in 1912
DR.. L. B. Bates, bacteriologist to An
con hospital in the Panama Canal
zone, undertook series of expert
ments with view of putting to the
test whether or not the ant acted
as a transmitting agent of such infec-
tions as enteric fever and bacillary
dysentery. His investigations were
carried out with the large yellow ants
which are found in and around the
houses in the canal zone He fed
number of these insects on bread
soaked with cultures of bacillus ty-
phosus for five days, killing and ex-
amining some of them at certain
intervals, but in no instance was he
able to recover the typhoid bacillus
from the intestines of the ants The
experiment was carefully repeated
with like negative results. He then
tried to determine if the ant could
carry the specific organisms on its
legs or body in purely mechanical
way to human food
To this end a number of the in
sects were dropped into a broth cul-
ture of the typhoid bacillus and al
lowed afterward to crawl out and
walk over dishes in such way that
their footprints could be Cultivated
for bacteria The typhoid bacillus
was easily found in every instance.
This experiment was repeated several
times, and in the majority of cases
positive results were obtained.

PlMPLEs ON FACE AND ARMS

All Howard ST., Dayton, Ohio
about year ago my face, neck, arms
and back were beginning to become
afflicted with pimples and blackheads.
My pimples would get very large and
.appear'to come to head. If tried
to open them the pain would be terri
BILE, but nothing could be taken from
them. They itched very badly; suf-
fered terribly from itching. After
scratching, the pimples would swell
and after the swelling was gone my
face would become very red and re-
main so for some time. My clothing
caused the itching to be worse. When
1t was warm it was utterly impossible
to sleep.
Il used q cream and the more !

His DUTY Done


The much more general participa-
tion in athletics at Yale marks a trans
ition from its former days when only
specialists were allowed in the rowing
tanks or on the football field.
At Yale dinner President Hadley,
the guest of honor, commented favor
ably on this change, stating that it
brought many more boys into the COL
lege activities than in the days of Yale
supremacy.
"Of course" he said, Il regret the
change of fortune in our specialized
athletics-but that reminds me of the
story of little Johann of Newtown,
Conn. Little Johann lived at one end
of the town and his grandfather at
the other. One day his grandfather
died.
"a stranger passing down the street
noticed little Johann playing in the
garden, quite as if nothing had hap
pened Rather shocked at the lads
conduct, he stopped and said: 10
ham, your grandfather is dead
"The little fellow looked up. L know
it. he said, as he resumed his play

MUCH BENEFIT IN THE YAWN
Medical Science Recommends a
Stretching of the Muscles as
fiealthful Form of Exercise.

Yawning is said to have an exceed
ingly healthful function besides hav-
ing statutory effect in complaints of
the pharnyx and the eustachian tubes.
According to investigations yawning is
the most natural form of respiratory
muscles of the neck and chest.
1t Is recommended that every per-
son should have good yawn with
the stretching of the limbs morning
and evening for the purpose of ven-
tilating the lungs and tonifying the
respiratory muscles.
An eminent authority asserts that
this form of gymnastics has remark
able effect in relieving throat and ear
troubles, and says that patients suf-
fering from disorders of the throat
have derived great benefit from it.
He says he makes his patients yawn,
by suggestion or imitation. or by a
series of deep breaths with the lips
partly closed. The yawning is re-
peated six or seven times, and should
be followed by swallowing. BY this
process the air and mucus in the
eustachian tubes are aspirated.

BOUND FOR
WESTERN CANADA
A PRAIRIE SCHOONER SLOGAN,

NEBRASKA.

On the schooners side, was the object
Of considerable interest as it passed
On the way northward from Nebraska
q short time ago through the towns
IN Nebraska, South and North Dakota.
After some weeks of strenuous travel
Ing in this way, Mr.. J. F. Jensen made
the overland trip from Jameson, Ne
braska, and with his little family made
the regular customs entry at North
Portal, in the province of Saskatche-
wan. Their destination was Willow
Bunch, district that Mr.. Jensen
had selected as one in which it was
possible for him to work out his for
tune. He located on a good half sec
ton of land, and intended putting on
it some cattle that would fatten on
the wild prairie grass that grows so
luxuriously in that district. In add.
ton to this his purpose was to cult
vate portion of it and raise wheat,
oats, barley or fax. In short, a life
devoted to mixed farming was what
he had in view and 1t is easy to un
derstand that he will make a success
of it, and in year or so will attach
some more land holdings.
Although his beginning may be
small, it may safely be said that Mr.
| Jensen, like thousands of others who
have begun life in western Canada or
no more and with probably much less
will prosper. He will not be far from ;
line of railway. Schools will be close
at hand and other social conditions Sc
necessary in new country are avail
able.-Advertiseme

Conscious NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

Conscious thought-transferenc has
not yet been proved by the Society
for Psychical Research. In the last
issue of its proceedings Dr. John E.
Coover, fellow in psychical research
of Leland Stanford, Jr., university,
says this question "curiously remains
open in spite of the reports in these
proceedings and elsewhere of decid-
edly favorable experimental results" ,"
DIR. Coover recalls that Mrs. Henry
Sidgwick found that two hypnotized
subjects made, on good days, 141
per cent and 11.4 per cent of right
guesses on lotto-blocks, as against a
probability" of 1.23 per cent, in s354
and 263 experiments, respectively.
But he presents three series of guess
ing, aggregating 5000 experiments,
with subjects who believed in telepa-
thy which departed very little from
the normal probability of guessing
right The experiments related to
"the feeling of being stared at" from
behind, the guessing of playing cards,
and the guessing of lotto-blocks.

Stops Battling Windows.

Never use paper to paste up a win
dow that rattles or admits too much
air in the winter. Tear strips of mus
lin or old calico and dip the pieces into
starch made with flour and cold water,
not warm. Run the strips through
this smooth paste and adjust them to
the cracks of the window. The mus
lin becomes like soft putty and will
adjust itself wherever placed and will
hold like cement. When you desire
to remove it, catch one end of the
strip, give it pull and it comes off
without the least resistance or injury
to paint. which is not true of paper
strips used for the same purpose.

termed the final effort of the Emper-
or Napoleon and France against the
crushing mass of their enemies
against the woes and humiliations of

against them. The allied sovereigns
were resolved to force back the en-

If you have trouble in making but
tonholes in thin material, here is a
way of overcoming the difficulty:
Hold a piece of the material on the
under side and cut the hole through
this as though it were part of the
waist. When the buttonhole is fin
ished, cut away the under cloth very
carefully SO that it will not show.
There will be no difficulty, even with
chiffon, if the cloth is folded two or
three times.
