OverstOlZ's Pets Pick Lock On
Cage and Fiee-One Gives

The four large coons at the Over
stoIz zoo on South Middle street yes
terday escaped from their cage, and
three of them are still at large. The
animal captured is ore OF the iargc.t
specimens ever seen by coon expert
in this city. This is a pct, and after
its escape yesterday it went to the
home of a neighbor OF Mr.. Oycrstolz.
where it entered the kitchen and when
the family stampeded, the coon took
refuge on top Of a closet.
In this secure quarters it dcfcd She
members of the family. A search
warrant was issued for the owner Of
the beast, and when Mr.. Ovcrstoiz wa.
finally located he was implorcd to call
for his pet. Chris Wolf, chief Of the
animal trainers at the Middle street
zoo, hurried to the home where tie
coon was in command
At the sight of Mr.. Wolf the big
animal leaped from the top of the
closet into his arms, purriEg like On
invalid kitten. The coon was carried
back to the cage and again incar-
cerated.
a search of the neighborhood failed
to reveal any trace of the three other
animals. As they always resented
being compelled to submit to civiliza-
ton, it is presumed they heard the
call of the wild and scurried away for

CAPTURES GIANT
BANANA SPIDER"
Joe Sepinzo Cages TarantuIa in
Glass Jar-Is Fourth Caught
In a Year

Joe SePinzo, Italian fruit merchant
on Main street, yesterday morning
captured his fourth tarantula OF
banana spider" within the last year
The big poisonous spider walked out
OF bunch of bananas and offered 70
take hold of Sepinzos finger when the
latter was preparing to cut off some
fruit in filling an order.
Seplnzo has caught so many of the
big spiders that he reached for his
banana knife without trepidation or
hesitation and proceeded to do away
with the tarantula. On perceiving the
hooked blade of the banana knife. the
spider darted back to the protection
of MS home among the bananas.
Sepinzo, however, rummaged about
with the blade of his knife till he
forced the bug" to retreat to the cord
on which the bunch of bananas was
suspended. Sepinzo knocked the sgi-
der down and pO}ed him into a glass
Jar, wherein he exhibited it last night.
SeDinzO's tarantula is the second to
be caught in the Cape within the past
two weeks, one having been captured
at the Willer grocery store recently.
Sepinzo's bug" is about three inches
from tip to tip Of It's long hairy legs.
Two weeks ago, Sepinzo caught one
of the spiders which carried an egg
like pouch beneath its stomach. On
the capture it was necessary
to kill the spider and the pounch be
came separated from the tarantula'S
body.
Sepinzo smashed the egg-lik object
and discovered that it was filed with
a mass of crawling, writhing young
tarantuIas. They were about the size
of ordinary spiders, Sepinzo said. He
exterminated the entire outfit, and or
cOusting them. he declared. found that
there were about 200.
A year ago Sepinzo killed a taran-
tula that measured more than five
inches long. 1t was turned over to

Food You Must
Eat During The
HotSmnnerDays

For the preservation of health and
production of efficiency, man needs d
mixed diet. There are certain food
principles which are essential, says
DR.. NJ. F. Revenel of the department
Of preventive medicine of the Univcrs-
ity of Missouri at Columbia.
First, the proteins, whose principal
function is the building up Of tissue,
replacing wear and tear. They are
found in meats, eggs, milk and certain
vegetables, like beans, peas, lentils
and nuts.
Second, the carbohydrates, whose
function is chiefly to provide fuel and
energy. They are found in two of the
ordinarily used foodstuifs-the starch
es, such as bread, cereals, rice, po5a-
toes, ETC.; and the sugars, which arc
found in the juice of various plants
in honey, etc.
Third, fats, whose functions is chief
ly to furnish fuel. The chief sources
of fats are cream, the fat Of meats,
many nuts, etc.
Fourth, the minerals and organic
acids, which are essential to the body
These are found in many vegetables
and certain other foods, particularly
in milk and the yolE: of eggs.
Certain other principles have been
discovered in recent years, among the
chief of which are substances called
vitamins. These are absolutely essen
tial to well-being. They are found in
fresh food of all kinds, like meats,
yolk of eggs, peas, beans, various
vegetables and fruits. They are de-
strOyed by some our methods of prep
aratiOn of food. For example, steri-
lized milk and sterilized canned foods
are in large part deprived of these
vitamins. We can also take them
away from vegetables, like rice, by a
high degree of polishing, which has
been largely practiced.
Babies fed on sterilized milk some
times develop scurvy. This can be
prevented by feeding tablespoonful
of orange juice once day.

HOW TO ROUT "CHIGGE2S."
Hot Bath viii Kill Pests if Promptly
TAKEN, Says Government Expert.

Hot Bath viii Kill Pests if Promptly
TAKEN, Says Government Expert.
Washington, June 13.-If a bath in
hot water, or in water containing salt
or strong soap, is taken within a few
hours after exposure in shru5bcry ard
weeds infested with "chiggers," or
"red bugs" no i'll effects will be OK
pericnced. After a long exposure,
however, a bath has practically no
effect and direct remedies are neccs-
sary to get rid Of them.
After irritation has set in, and small
red spots appear, the application of
moderately strong solution of am
monia to the affected parts is recon-
mended by the Department of Agricul-
lures entomologists. A supersaturat
ed solution of bicarbonate of soda, or
common cooking soda or salcratus,
will afford relief. Liberal applications
should be made until the irritation
subsidies. If the suffering is severe, a
dilute tincture of iodine or collodien
should be lightly applied.
