WHOLE BODY LEFT HANDED" :"
Surgeons Find Inside" of Man Com
rletely Reversed.

ST. LOUIS. Mo-. January s.-The
body of William King. which has been
preserved for twenty months. is de-
scribed by anatomists as "left-handed
both inside and outside" according to
a statement recently made public at the
City Hospital. On May 8, 1915. King,
who was thirty-fve years old, applied
at the hospital for treatment. He said
he was a laborer and had lived most of
his life in Wisconsin He was suffer
ing from typhoid fever.
When asked who should be notified in
case of his death King said: Don't
worry about that. Just cut me up and
examine my body: there's something
wrong with me besides the fever He
died few days later.
When surgeons made an examination
of the body they found one of the most
abnormal cases in the history of sur
gerry The heart was on the right side,
the liver on the left; the appendix was
on the left side and the spleen on the
right The stomach was turned around
completely On the left lung were
three lobes: the right lung had but
two The left kidney was larger and
lower than the right one.

Chatterer's Fears Are Realized

terer the Red Squirrel was possessed
by a terrible fear. He crouched in his

trees and tossing them about as II they
were mere playthings His breath was
icy cold and he drove the flying snow be-

not been night no one could have seen
more than a foot or two about them.
But all this Chatterer would not have
minded In the least but for certain sounds
which he heard now and then when
rough Brother North Wind would blow a
little harder than usual Those sounds
were the swapping and cracking OF wood
and Chatterer knew that his home was in
danger. He knew that rough Brother
North Wind was trying to break off that
limb and II he should succeed-well,
Chatterer tried not to think of what would
be likely to happen to him.
But those dreadful cracking sounds be-
came more and more frequent and his
teeth chartered, not with cold but with
fear. You see he had felt so safe and
warm in there that he had never
thought he could be in the least
danger. Why, that old tree with it's
hollow limb had been there for years and
years and nothing ever happened to It,
That is why he had been so scornful Of
rough Brother North Wind and had called

there are children in the family.
Before buying your cow. however
make sure that you have pasture of

Pasture on a farm near suburban

no more work and little more feed for
a COW producing milk testing per
cent or more in butter fat than for
one whose milk will test only 3 per
cent or under. The most profitable age
at which to purchase a COW is when
she is fresh with her second or third
calf. and she should be tuberculin
tested before you take her.
!.
Holsteins give the most and Jerseys
the richest milk, but a family having
economy in view hardly would be justi-
fed in paying the price demanded for

at from $50 to SIS. Sometimes it is
possible to get for as low as $50 an

Cows giving exceedingly rich milk

not give as much milk as will those
breeds which have been developed for
the purposes of dairies which market
their milk whole For family purposes
halfway COW is better, one giving
an ample flow of milk, even if it is not
quite so rich.
A fresh COW on pasture in the sum
mer, fed such waste from the kitchen
and the garden as is suitable and just

cost under 8 cents quart. Scientists
