the good of the community the new
Kansas City police commission will thin
out the saloons. In every vicinity

conditions, the number Is to be cur
tailed. This is the new policy Of the
police commission.
Scventy-flve or more saloons will be
closed tomorrow when the commission

dition, forty licenses which have been
kept alive because of their property

FIGHTING WORMS IN SHEEP
Internal Parasites, Next to Dogs, Are
Greatest Detriment to Animals
Change Pastures Often.

Next to dogs internal parasites are
the greatest detriment to the farm
sheep business. The trouble seems to
be aggravated by pasturing sheep year
after year on the same ground. The
best cure is prevention and the prac-
tical way of prevention is changing
pastures as frequently as possible.
Scrawny, unthrifty lambs will usual
ly be found suffering from intestinal
worms, providing, of course, feed con-
ditions are such that they normally
should be in good shape. Gasoline is
the best treatment.
Mix well one-Quarter ounce gasoline
in three ounces sweet milk and drench
each lamb for three mornings in sue
cession. Before the first treatment
put them in a pen and give them no
feed nor water for Is hours. Repeat
the treatment again in three weeks.
Be careful not to let the lamb stran-
gle, and draw the mixture into the
lungs.

the conditions of care and handling
might be better, but these things will
account for only a nominal loss.
The change from grass to alfalfa,
corn, barley, molasses and straw, en-
silage, ETC., must be made gradually
and herein lies the secret Of the heavy
losses Of lambs In the feed lots In the
early fall. The desire to get the lambs
on a fattening ration as early as pos
sible and failing to appreciate the dan
ger of too heavy feeding and change
Of ration has helped to make lamb
feeding an Improbable business in
some instances. A sudden change Of
feed, or overlooking, must be guarded
against in the domestic animals, es-
pecially is this true with the horse and
sheep.

I1cW he Snlder Works.

A patient Englishman who last sum-
mer watched a garden spider spin It's
nest from start to finish has told what
he saw in recent issue of Knowl-
edge. At $3.50 o'clock in the evening
the spider, a half-srown female, began
work by dropping from one branch Of
a pine tree to another below, and
there making fast line, which event
ually formed two of the Perpendicular
radiating lines Of the web. From that
time it continued to work without in
terruption until 1925 o'clock the next
morning. The network and radial
lines were done By ~ 30 o'clock, and
the spiral part of the web was con.
sequently made in less than an hour.
The observer drew many interesting
diagrams of the web at different stages
in its construction. He says the I'm.
ished web was one OF the most per
feet he has ever seen.

ORDER OF THE BATH.
1t Was a Realistic Ceremony In tho
 Time of Charles II.

The last Knights of the Bath made according to the ancient forms were at the coronation of Charles H., when various rites and ceremonies, one of which was bathing, were enforced.
 According to Froissart, the court bar Der prepared q bath. and the candidate for membership in the order, having been undressed by his esquires. was thereupon placed in the bath, his cloth es and collars being the perquisites of the barber. He was then removed from the water to the words May this be an honorable bath to you' and was placed in q plain bed quite wet and naked to dry.
 As soon as he was quite dry he was removed from the bed, dressed in new and rich apparel and conducted by his sponsors to the chapel, where he offered taper to the honor of God and a penny piece to the honor of the king. Then he went to the monarch and. kneeling before him, received from the royal sword tap on the shoulder, the king exclaiming. Arise. Sir -" and then embraced him, saying. Be thou good knight and true."-London Strand Magazine.

MChoir.n n

Churchgoers who follow the service in their prayer books would certainly miss the "dear old phrase" concerning 'quires and places where they sing" and in time the old fashioned 'quires" may be made new fashioned again by the coming of rationalized spelling. "Choir" was most unnecessary out rage upon the language. The old Eng fish "quer" or "quere" became quite naturally "quyer" or "quire." and so 1t remained until the end of the seven teenth century. when somebody seems to have introduced "choir' because it looked more like the French "choeur," as if that were valid reason. There could have been no danger of confus- ing a church "quire" and a 'quire' of paper, which is different word. the French "cahier," probably from Latin "quaternarium." a collection of four leayes.-London Standard.

The Caspian Sea.

The Caspian sea is as Herodotus said 2,000 years ago. "a sea by itself. having no connection with any other." Every schoolboy knows that now, but it is remarkable to find Herodotus saying so, because centuries after his time such authorities as Strabo and Pliny believed that it was connected with the northern ocean by long and mar row gulf. Geography seems to have had a setback in the interval through false information received at the time of Alexander's conquests. Herodotus says that the Caspian's length was fifteen days voyage with rowboat. its breadth eight days. Since the actual figures are 7JO miles and 400, this shows that a rowboat of the time did fifty miles a day.-London Graphic.
