AN INTERESTING ANT.
The Leaf Cutter Carries an Umbrella
and Raises Mushrooms.


The Leaf Cutter Carries an Umbrella
and Raises Mushrooms.
OF the many species of ants that. In
habit tropical and semitropical coun-
tries the umbrella ant is one Of the
most interesting. The insects have the
habit Of cutting small round pieces
about quarter Of an inch in diameter
from the leaves Of trees, which they
then carry to their burrows. From
that fact the species is also known as
the leaf cutting ant. The process OF
stripping the trees of their leaves is
carried out methodically. The ants on
their predatory expeditions divide into
two parties, one Of which ascends the
trees and cuts the leaves from their
stalks, while the other party remains
on the ground, seizes the leaves and
cuts out the disks. Each ant in car
rying the disk to it's burrow holds it
over its head as man carries an um-
brella, hence the term umbrella ant"
According to writer in the Field, the
leaves are stored in underground bur-
rows until they decay. BY that time
they have become covered with a kind
Of fungus that forms the food Of the
ants. In other words, the ants raise
mushrooms and use the leaves for
mushroom beds.

also coincidence that both states

violation of the law to defer the

Give me liberty from drugs and
vaccination, a superstition of the
dark ages. England was the first
country to adopt vaccination and also
to abolish compulsory. both to its
citizens and soldiers. If vaccination
was real protection and benefit to
the individual and public, they would
want to be vaccinated and there
would be no call for using force.

MUST SCHOOL CHILDREN
UNDERGO VACCINATION :
This Has Been Question of Much National
Discussion of Late

This has been question of much
discussion of late. The North Da.
kota state board of health says,
Every child attending school shall
show certificate of vaccination
within one week following the open.
ing day of school. F" But, the statu.
tory law of North Dakota has not
been changed by any legislative body
since 1895. If the board of health
finds it necessary at this time to en-.
force state wide compulsory vaccina-
tion, how is it that they did not do it
these last % years? Furthermore,
do not the allopathic doctors teach us
that small pox is..a disease augment
ed by dirt and filth, or in other words
due to unsanitary conditions. If that
is the case, there must be something
wrong with our board of health.
They must have neglected their duty
these last % years.
On inquiry, this is not the case, at
least the board of health assures us
that the sanitary condition of the
state was never better than now.
Then why do they want to enforce
compulsory vaccination on school chill.
dren that is not needed nor desired,
and has never been asked for by the
parents of school children nor by the
public. Who is really back of this
and what is their purpose? Those
that have investigated have found
that it originated with the American
Medical Association, which has often
been referred to as Medical Trust.
Their purpose therefore is to intrench
themselves and crush all other meth.
DDS of healing, by disregarding, like
all trusts do, the first principle of
our national constitution Equal rights
to ali and special privileges. to none.
i doubt if there is a member of the
medical profession that does not be.
lieve in national freedom of religion.
If SO, if they are consistent, why
should they not so desire medical
freedom, for there are in the United
States Is, 963, sos families of which
5. 900, 900, or nearly third of all
the families, are now seeking some
form of Drugless Healing. Do you
think all these will humbly submit tt
the demagogue of self assumed au.
thority? No. Furthermore, there
is large portion of the members of
the county and city board of health
that do not believe in what these
head men of the American Medical
Association are doing. So compul.
sorry vaccination cannot be enforced
how much they may want it for their
own personal financial benefit. They
have overreached in making this de.
mand and they will be compelled to
retreat, as am not the only one thai
