Wage War on Worms

Worms in poultry run the feed bill
up, we are reminded by one of our
folks in Washington. Says he: 1.-THE
worms are always on the job and their
continual sucking of blood means they
are taking large share of the birds
mash and grain. Many of the all
ments of poultry, including paralysis
and deficiency diseases, are the result
of worms-roundworms, tapeworms,
caeca worms" You can make similar
charges against all parasites internal
and external, of poultry and of stock.

that his old horns had dropped off
somewhere, and here was one of them
to prove it.

Peter joyfully. Now Mrs. Peter will

PETER RABBITS LAST
DOUBT is CLEARED AWAY

Though you say you believe that a
thing is so,
And you do your best to believe, you
know,
1t will happen a doubt in your mind
will creep
And quite refuse to be put to sleep.
4 LITTLE doubt like this will keep
right on bOthering, and the only
way in which. it can be put to sleep
is by finding for yourself the proof
that what you are trying to believe is
so. Peter Rabbit said that he be-
ieved all Lightfoot the Deer had
told him about his wonderful horns,
and how they had grown in single
summer. He did believe it while he
was with Lightfoot, for hadn't Jumper
the Hare said that 1t was true. But
when Peter got back to the dear Old
Brier Patch and thought ii all over
doubt crept into his mind in spite of
him. He told little Mrs. Peter all
about it. When he had finished she
looked at him queerly.
Peter" said she, eff someon
should come along and tell you that
he could take his head off and put ii
back on again, | believe you would be-
lieve it. 1t is my opinion that Light
foot was stuffing you and that Cousin
Jumper was backing him up just to
see how big yarn they could make
you swallow"
But, my dear, | tell you that | saw
the rags of the covering that had been
on those horns while they were grow
ing" protested Peter.
Perhaps you did and perhaps you
didn't" retorted unbelieving Mrs.
Peter Rabbit. Il don't doubt you saw
rags of some kind on Lightfoot's
horns, but it will take more than his
word to make me believe that those
are new horns grown this last sum.
mer. 1t doesn't sound reasonable.
Now, does it, Peter?"
mo, it doesn't" confessed Peter;
''but there are so many things happen
ing all the time that don't sound rea-
sonable that don't know when to be-
lieve a thing and when not to-"
Peter had planned to go about
among his friends and tell them all
about Lightfoot's new horns, for he
suspected that few of them knew
about them. But after his talk with
Mrs. Peter he changed his mind. You
see doubt had crept in, and in spite of
all he could do it stayed there. He
tried to make himself believe that he
believed that story, but that miser-
able doubt persisted. So, though his
tongue fairly itched to tell the story
of Lightfoot's new horns, he kept ii
still.
One night when Mistress Moon was
shining brightly Peter wandered deep
in the Green Forest until presently he
found himself on the edge of swampy
place. 1t was the very place where
Lightfoot the Deer had spent the win
ter when the snow was Deep Peter
hoped along aimlessly. He was think
ing so hard that he didn't watch his
steps, and presently he stepped on
something that hurt his foot.
"Ouch - he cried, and looked to see
what it was he had stepped on. Stick
ing out of the soft wet earth was what
Peter at first thought was a sharp
pointed stick. But when he looked a
little more closely he saw that it was
different from any stick he had ever
seen before. The point was smooth
and polished, and when later Peter
tried his teeth on it he found he made
no impression on it. AT once he be-
gan to dig around it to see what the
rest of it was like. 1t wasn't long be-
fore he found that there were other

ROME TIGHTENS
WEDDING RITES
DISPENSATIONS
New Ruling Affects Union of
Catholics With
ProteStantS.
By United Press

VATICAN CITY, Feb. ga
tightening of the rules permitting
diSpensations for the marriage of a
Catholic to a non-Cathonc was
ordered by the congregation of the
hold Office Friday in a circular to
bishops and parish priests through
out the world.
The order provides that dispensa-
tons shall not be granted for the
marriage of Catholics to non
Catholics or non Christians unless
the prospective SpouseS comply with
the condition that execution of the
pledges under which the diSpensa-
ton is granted shall not be impeded
by anybody for any reason in their
present or future residences.
The pledges consist of promises
to raise any offspring in the Cath
olic religion and not attempting to
induce the Catholic party to the
marriage to renounce his religion.
The congregations order was
prompted by the fact that execu-
ton of the pledges is hindered or
prohibited in some countries by
civil laws or by Protestant pastors.
The congregation ruled that the
dispensation must be considered in
valid if the conditions are not COM
piled with.

SAVINGS
BILLS KILLED
Move to Raise Maximum on
Deposits Sidetracked.

By Scripps-Hopdrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-Opposi-
ton of bankers is blamed here for
having killed the proposal to in
crease the maximum amount per-
mitted in postal savings accounts.
This was the belief today, after
the house postoffice committee suS-
tanned it's subcommittee is report
ing adversely on two bills designed
to increase the present maximum of
$4,000 to $4,000, or $4,000.
Representative Sweeney Dem.,
o., author of one of the measures,
said he was convinced it would be
useless to endeaovr to override the
committee action by getting sigma
lures of 145 members for a special
vote.
"An increase in the limitations
governing postal savings accounts
would, in my opinion, bring out of
boarding millions of dollars now I'M
available for circulation" Sweeney
said.
But Representative Lamneck
Dem., o., chairman of the sub
committee, which held hearings on
the two bills, said the committee
was convinced that passage of the
legislation would cause further

GRADUATES IN
CHOSEN FIELD
Nine TenthS of Pharmacy
Alumni Employed.


LAFAYETTE, Ind, Feb. 6.-That
practically nine-tenths of the grad
yates of the school of pharmacy
at Purdue university during the last
twelve years are in pharmacy or re-
lated fields, was revealed in a sur
vey completed under the direction
Of Dean G, B. Jordan of the school.
The actural figures show 1876 per
cent of the graduates of the old two
or three-year courses were so en-
ployed and 1872 per cent of those
in the four-year course in the field
for which they were trained. This
percentage, considered remarkably
high, includes 314 persons.
Our study showed 1871 per cent
of the graduates from the two or
three-year course in the retail drug
business" said Dean Jordan. ct
also showed only 25.4 per cent of the
four-year graduates in the retail
drug business, indicating that the
four-year training enabled them to
make wider choice of vocations,
which included teaching, research
work, laboratory technicians, physi-
clans or in commercial work other
than the retail business"
Under state laws, licensed phar-
macistS in Indiana must now attend
college four years, and Purdue was
one of the first to establish a four
year course.

DESERT TRAPS FIVE
AviatorS Are Believed Dead

BIZ United Press

ORAN, Algeria, Feb. 6.-Two
more fliers have been swallowed in
the sandblown, windswept wastes of
the Sahara, where three French
aviators already were believed led
to their death by a mirage that
offered false hope.
The two latest victims reported
down on the burning sands are Bel
gians, Gillious and Dubois, en- route
from Brussels to the Belgian Congo.
They are believed lost somewhere
near this desert outpost.
The three French filters. Robert
Lenier, Jean Reginenski and Jo-
seph Touge, have been missing five
days. More than twenty-four hours
ago word came via a small portable
wireless operated by Lenoir, that
the other two had started across the
shifting sands to "some palm trees
and water they saw in the dis
lance"
officials here feared they all had
been led on to their certain death
by a mirage, magic picture of
what the thirst crazed wanted to
see, drawn by the elements on the
scorching horizon.
