TREATING SHEEP FOR WORMS
Pasture Rotation, Combined With
Drugs, Is Practical Method Of Sue
cessfuily Combating Pest.

The stomach worm is the worst pest
affecting sheep. Lambs are more sus-
ceptible than older sheep, probably
because the older sheep are accus-
toned to the presence of the worm.
In the spring. soon after lambing. the
old sheep should each receive a dose
of one or two ounces of gasoline, fol-
lowed by small dose of epson salts.
After a day or two they should be
placed in a worm-free pasture, If pos
sible.
In July treat the whole herd. includ-
ing the lambs. with gasoline, and
turn them into new pasture, and re-
peat the process in November. Pas
ture rotation, combined with drugs
that are injurious to the worms, is a
practical method of successfully COM
batting this worm.

WONDERFUL HOW QUICKLY
RESIN0L STOPS ITCHING

To those who have endured for years
the itching torments OF eczema or other
such subscriptions. the relief that
the first use OF resinol ointment and
resinol soap gives IS perfectly incredf-
BILE. After all the suffering they went
through and all the useless treatments
they spent good money for, they
cannot believe anything so simple,
mild and inexpensive can stop the
itching and burning INSTANTLY
And they find it still more wonderful
that the improvement is permanent
and that resinol really drives away
the eruption completely in a very
short time. Perhaps there is a pleas
ant surprise like this In store for you.

The close connection which exists
between the heart and the kidneys is
well known nowadays. As soon az
kidneys are diseased, arteria1 tension
is increased and the heart functions
are attacked. When the kidneys no
longer pour forth waste, uremic pol
soning occurs, and the person dies and
the cause is often given as heart dis

Under decision rendered by the

creating q seven-man school board In
all cities of the state having popu-
lation OF 100000 or more. may be voted
on by the electors Of Detroit In the
next general election IN 1915. The
court held that the act. which was
passed by the 1919 legislature, In
valid. and Ut the same time sustained
the validity OF the act fixing the quail
dcations Of voters Ut school elections.
Under the latter decision. only men
or women assessed for taxes In the
school district, and the parents or
legal guardians of children Of school
age may vote. Corporation Counsel
Lawson believes that the decision
will disfranchise about so per cent
OF the male voters of Detroit as far
az the school elections are concerned.
The act fixing qualifications applies
to the state at large.
Two opinions were handed down by
the court In the seven-man board
case. The majority opinion was writ
ten by Justice Ostrander and was
concurred In by Justices Stone.
Moore, Steere, Kuhn and Bird. Chief
Justice Brooke wrote q dissenting
opinion. In which Justice McAlvay
