DR.. Fan of Iowa sends me a long worm
found in a cabbage head and asks if it
is poisonous. He suggests that a story
be written about this worm. The doctor
does not say so. but it a safe guess that
the people who found this worm have
heard hair raising stories about large
numbers of people killed by eating cab
bages containing specimens of this worm
and he wants some publicity given to
it's harmiessness.
A while ago the United States bureau
of entomology put out a bulletin on the
cabbage hair worm. This bulletin said
not since the kissing bug craze had any
worm or bug caused such a furore as had
this so-called cabbage snake.
The first one known in this country
was found at McCays, Tenn, in 1903. A
few fancy reportorial touches made this
incident into a good newspaper story. This
story started the floodgates and from
here, there and yonder there came ac-
counts of fatalities due to eating cab
bage containing cabbage snakes.
A physician was reported to have said
this worm contained poison enough to
cause instant death. A chemist, not to
be outdone, examined a worm and found
enough poison to kill eight persons. An
other chemist, thinking the first a piker,
said he found poison enough to kill rs
people.
SO many OF rbese stories came out that
people were afraid to eat cabbage and the
sauerkraut business went on the bum
In sections of Indiana fields of cabbage
rotted because fear had DESTROYED the
market. The government got busy with
| the fearful stories. They found plenty of
| cabbage worms, but they could not find
| anybody who had been poisoned by them.
The investigators always were just about
to find a place where a group had died
from eating cabbage worms, but they
never found one. When they would get
to the designated place they were told
st didn't happen here, but go over into
the next county and you will learn al
about it." The physician Intercepted
aever said the worm could cause instant
death, but | heard that DR.. So-and-Sc
| said it. The chemists were still more
elusive.
The subject was Investigated by DR.
I.cuis Leroy of Memphis. He fed the
worms to animals. TIE examined the
worms for poison. His conclusion was
! that the cabbage snake so called, con
tains no poison. 1t is entirely harmless
| and the public rumors and superstitions
are without semblance Of foundation.
The cabbage hair worm is about g
foe. long and about twice as thick as q
broom straw. Its diameter is about mid
way between that of a coarse flax thread
and ordinary cotton wrapping cord. II
its proper phase it is a parasite on sucf
insects as apple worms, grasshoppers
locust and various caterpillars.
Therefore it is beneficient rather tina
otherwise. It's name is Kernis albicans
| The insect lays its eggs in the ground
where the worm matches, and ther
reaches the surface.
And that is the story of the cabbage
hair worm or cabbage snake. l hope nc
one will take this as an invitation to sent
me samples of insects and worms. hap
oened to know a little about this one be.
cause of the furore it created once. l dc
not know bugs or worms.

TWO Cities In DISGRACE.

At first thought, one is inclined TO COM
miserate the citizens of Chicago n Mil
waukee as social groups in the deep hui
initiation the must have felt when they
learned that in the arrangements making
for the tour of the United States by the
king and queen Of the Belgians 1t has
been decided, quite deliberately and with
full realization of what the decisions i'm
plies, that the royal couple shall not visit
those two cities.
OF course, in both cities there are
thousands of good citizens who would be
glad to unite with other good citizens ali
over the country in expressing to the
heroic king and and his equally, though
differently, heroic wife the admiration and
respect which they have earned so well.
OF course, too, there is an element OF
cruel injustice. as always, in imposing a
like disgrace on guilty and innocent alike.
For. disgrace it is thus to have it an
n~ounced to the country and to The world
that there has recently been displayed, by
the chosen and official representatives
and spokesman of these cities, such vicious
and boorish sentiments of a~ntagonism to
persons held in high honor by every ap-
preciator of valorous devotion to right and
Justice that a man like King Albert and
q woman like Queen Elizabeth annot

Americans would see to that, or at least
try to do so. And even IL the mayor who
would consign King Albert. with all other
kings, to perd.tion. or the other mayor
who took pleasure in affronting Marshal
Joffre, should act again after their kind

Pay to jap Soldiers.

In the opinion OF the Jul. the pay of
Japanese soldiers is too small. AT
present it is 1.56 yen t5s cents) a
month for first and second class pri.
Yates, and i.s55 los eents> far#eori,o-
rails. Even If the pay be increased 90
per cent, says the editor, it will not
suffice for the needs of the soldiers.
At present they have to get money
from home to make UP the shortage,
which is moi right. The total pay OF
the soldiers amounts TO So, 10000. II
1t is trebled, the government will need
only s4,30O,OO0 additional.

When bluebirds tilted graceful heads
Above the fragrant violet beds;
When robins hid their turquoise gems,
And berries hung from silken stems
When doves We're cooling on the caves.
And pearls were set in iris leaves
When DER the nests the thrushes sang.
And curfew harebells lightly rang,
You saw. in all. Gods loving care.
Then let Thanksgiving fill the air!
And unto Him your love declare.
When hills turned golden in night.
And fields showed colors warm and
bright;
When perfumes met in wayside streets
TO tell of cherished autumn sweets;
When memories came thick and fast
To bring the harvest of the past,
The fruited joys of all the years
To cover griefs, and signs and tears.
You saw and felt Gods love and care,
Then let Thanksgiving fill the air!
And unto Him your love declare.
