Soldiers, Chance Of LIE.

If you, a drafted man, believe that
statistics tell the truth, you will feel as
safe in France as you usually do in
the streets of New York. SO says Rog-
er w. Babson, the eminent statis-
tician, according to Popular Science
Monthly. Furthermore, he says that
the man who is connected with the
heavy field artillery Is nc more likely
to be killed than one in the employ of
a railroad. However, he does not hold
out such hif n hopes for the ileuten
ants, sergeants and corporals. the
death rate being very much greater

CATERPILLAss CAUSE RASH
Several Cases Of Blood Poisoning Re-
ported at Emergency Hospital Of
Salt Lake City.

No less than four cases of blood poi
soning and body rash caused by
virulent variety of caterpillar have
been reported to the emergency hos
pital, says the Salt Lake Tribune. Mrs.
Dean IL. Daynes of $40 South West
Temple street. appealed to the city
officials for advice in regard to n rash
that had broken 6ut on her baby's
back. Mrs. Daynes said she had found
an ordinary looking yellow caterpillar
in her baby's clothing and discovered
the rash later. She was advised to
call in a physician Immediately.
"Caterpillars are the larvae of a
lepidopterous insect, not necessarily
butterfly. in the first stage of meta
morphoSis," according to Webster The
larvae of such insects as the geom-
etrid moth or the hawk moth are
smooth and are not poisonous. The
large yellow haired ones have q pencil
of hairs that look like horns and
fasicule of hairs that resembles a tail.
1t is the sting from these hairs that
poisOns, as it is almost impossible for
the insect to bite.
No case of a caterpillar sting has
proved fatal, So far as the officials of
the Salt Lake hospitals know. Mothers
were advised to keep their very young
children off lawns and from beneath
trees, unless some one was in attend
ance to watch them.
George Williams, thifty-eight years
old, of 537 South West Temple, also
of Salt Lake, was bitten on the thigh
by caterpillar while in bed. Within
an hour the poison had spread through
his entire system and a rash had
broken out on his arms and back. He
was treated at the emergency hos
pital, bringing the caterpillar with
him.
