Man q. q M..t Eater.

That man has eaten beef, pork and
Nsh since the rem0test ages is deduced
by Professor NJ. w. Lyon, Jr.. of tho
George Washington university, in an
article In Science. from the life his
tory Of three species Of tapew0rm.
These three-the Toenia saginata, or
beef taleworm; Toenla solium. or pork
tapeworm, and Dibothriocephalus la
tus. or fish tapeworm-are highly DIFF
ferentiated. Part Of their lives they
spend in human beings. part In the
animals from which they are named,
and both these hosts are necessary to
their development.
1--WE have no evidence that species
Of any kind are rapidly produced"
says Professor Lyon, land the para
sites have probably had as slow an
evolution as man. The conclusion
seems clear that man has been eating
cattle and pigs or their immediate an
cestors, and perhaps himself, for az
many ages as needed for these tape
worms to attain their present degree
Of differentiation"

Mines Under In. Farms.

Surroundings have little to do with
mining. as is proved In northwestern
Illinois. where corn. oats and hay are
raised on the surface and lead and zinc
are extracted from the rocks beneath
the fields. Although In this particular
locality agriculture is the principal in.
dustry. several hundred men are en-
gagged In zinc and lead mining. Most
of the mines are 100 to 200 feet deep.
The lead sold from this region since
mining began has brought about $t0..
100000. and the zinc produced since
about 1860 has been sold for about
$1O.OOOOOO. Prospecting for new de,

COMMISSIONERS WORK !.
ON LABOR PROBLEM

Reports from Washington TO tho
state department of agriculture indi-
cate that the commissioners of agri-
culture of the several states. who are
now in SESSION at the nations capital
are seeking the best possible soiu-
ton for the labor problems now con-
fronting the food producers of the
nation.
Commissioner Of Agriculture George
w. Koiner is attending the meeting
and ii is probable that the Virginia
departments influence VIII be cast
to the conserving in so far as pos-
sible the farm labor supply of tho
country.
1t is believed that the next draft
will be far less stringent IN its opera
ton on the farming interests than
was the first, in which large NUM-
Der OF farmers and farm 1aoorers
we're taken. The vital necessity Of
keeping the food production of the
country up to the largest possible to-
tai has impressed itself more and
more upon the governments of this
and allied countries.
While one man may not be drafted
to work In the field of another. 1t Is
believed that It will be very necessary
to provide that men In agricultural
occupations must make good therein
and, failing to do so, or deserving
that line Of work for another, they
will become liable to the draft.

that If the alley were converted into

on could demand street improvements
free of cost, whereas being an alley
the costs will be shared with the city
