Dividing the Profits.

When the steel workers went on strike
President Fitzpatrick issued a statement in
which he justified the action of his followers
largely on the ground that the steel companies
have been making unreasonab1y large profits
during the last few years. President Lewis of
the miners points to the returns the coal OPP
orators are getting to prove that the demands
which have accompanied the announcement Of
a strike Nov. l are not unreasonable The
steel workers and the miners thus have laid
themselves open to the charge that they are
actuated chiefly by a desire to get some Of
the prevailing easy money.
1t is hardly necessary to point out that the
public is not in sympathy with such an atti-
tude, and that it inevitably will tend to drive
away popular support without which strikes

THE COMMON NORTH AMER.
ICAN TAPEW0RM.

The source of infestation Of the
human alimentary canal with tape
worms in America and Canada is
usually beef. In Europe and Asia
pork is a common source.
The beef tapeworm scientifically
called) Tenia saginata The adult
worm. varying in length from Is to
80 feet, hves in the intestine of
man. Its eggs leave the intestine in
the stools, and sometimes pollute
ground where cattle Craze. The
cattle INCEST the microscopic eggs
on their feed The eggs develop
into larvae which penetrate the
animals stomach and become bur
led in the muscles, particularly in
the flesh of the jaws, tongue and
head. This flesh, if eaten by man,
may convey the larvae to the. hui
man stomach. where they develop
! into adult tapeworms, completing
the cycle of tapeworm life Thor
Ough cooking would destroy the
larvae in meat, but sometimes man
has a cannibalistic taste for under
done or even raw beef Beef con-
tanning the larvae embedded in the
muscle tissue is called "measly'
and the embedded larvae are called
, bladder worms" or measles. -
These embedded larvae survive
three weeks after the cattle are
killed.
The head Of this common North
American tapeworm is little broad
er than the thickness of cent, but
each succeeding segment Of the
worm grows larger until the full
sized segments are half an inch
wide and an inch long. and each of
these scores of segments or links
may produce eggs. Hence every

from the body should be burned.

worm from pork, more common in
Europe. has. and hence does not
