prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Turkeys are probably the natural
hosts OF the gapeworm-a serious pest
among young chickens-and are an
important factor in their spread This
has been demonstrated by u zOologist
of the United States Department of
Agriculture as the result of expert
ments and other Investigations carried
on at Washington, d. c., and on farms
in several localities in Maryland.
Many Turkeys Harbor Gapeworms.
During three winter seasons begin
ming in December, 1916, a total of $50
chickens and 679 turkeys were ex-
amined in the Washington city market.
No gapeworms were found in the
chickens, but 30 per cent of the
turkeys were found to be infested.
From 1 to s worms were found in each
of the infested turkeys. \ report of
these Investigations has been published
by the department in Department
Bulletin $50, The Turkey as an I'm
portant Factor in the Spread of Cape
worms"
In view of the complete absence of
gapewormS from a large series of
adult chickens and their common oc-
currence in similar series of adult
turkeys, it would appear, the bulletin
says, that adult chickens are poorly
adapted as hosts of gapeworms. That
turkeys above years of age may
harbor gapeworms is established by
the fact that turkey which was kept
at the departments experiment sta
ton at Bethesda, Md, for three years
after it was brought there was found
after its death to be infested with
a pair of worms.
In the perpetuation of gapewOrms
from year to year on infested poultry
farms the two chief factors, according
to the bulletin, appear to be turkeys

Hal Ehrig Learns Painting

Chicago.-How much courage and

Hal Ehrig, 646 West 61st street, sur

race to Michigan City and another in
1912 in the bowl at Riverview park.
Each time his left hip was badly in
jured, but each time he recovered with
apparently no permanent disability.
But with Hal, the third time was the
charm. While driving an automobile
at dusk he encountered a drainage
ditch in the road. The car overturned

of course, L couldn't go on with that.
And so for a while 1 just lay here"
One day a girl friend who dropped
in to see Hal brought along a box of
pastels that she didn't want. She knew
he had been clever with his pencil at
one time and thought he might amuse
himself with them.
I'm naturally right-handed," went
on Hal. But there's nothing like

The living room of the Ehrig abode

paved artistry. And he's sold q lot
more. two of them for $3.50 each. Some
of his canvases are six feet long. Hal
has them suspended from the bar run

Some copies went to a pal of mine

riot. The boys wanted to dash right
up to the 'front.'
Since his initial venture into the

WHY DRUGGISTS RECOMMEND
SWAMP ROOT

For many years druggists have watched
with much interest the remarkable record
maintained by DIR. Kilmer's Swamp Root,
the great kidney, liver and bladder medi-
cine.
1t is a physicians prescription.
Svamp-Root is a Strengthening medi-
cine. 1t helps the kidneys, liver and blad-
der do the work nature intended they
should do.
Swamp-Root has stood the test of years.
It is sold by all druggists on its merit
and it should help you. No other kidney
medicine has so many friends.
Be sure to get Swamp-Root and start
treatment at once.
However, if you wish first to test this

From experiments recorded in the
