Improper toilet facilities or total a. c
of toilet facilities is responsible for
most OF the hookWorm and much of the
typhoid fever and ~diarrhoea In rural
districts. Examinations made in va
rious parts OF the country Indicate that
about half of the grown people have
round worms or some other form of in
testinal parasite. While these do little
harm, they are sometimes annoying,
and occasionally positively harmful.
Therefore ii is somewhat important to
know that intestinal parasitism Is an
other result of poor toilet facilities.
This subject is especially important
to country people. A farmer who does
not have a properly built and properly
maintained privy Is not fair to his

is advised that he will be accepted

United State sis preparing for war.
In stating her intent, America has
spoken with flnality regarding the
German unlimited submarine attacks
upon Americas ships. Some are in
clined to hold Germany as ruthless
in her attitude toward the United
States as toward England.
The government is relying upon
pan-American countries to stamp out
German intrigues against the Am

It is surmissed in some quarters
that peace is just around the corner

NO MORE CHANCES
(By United Press)


Washington, March 10.-Amer-
ican armed merchantmen have been
empowered to fire upon Teuton SUBJ
marines upon sight.
The state department today made
this plain and asserted that Germany
has made it plain that neutrals will
not be visited and searched such a.
prescribed by international law.
This means that American gun
ners are privileged to turn loose a
gun upon a submarine.
The declaration of the attitude of
the United States has brought the
crisis with Germany to an acute
stage. The navy department is en-
forcing censorship regarding arma-
ment.
