gasoline tank for a caterpillar
tractor, which was being welded
at a blacksmith shop, blew up
without warning. The tank had
been filled with water and emp
tied before the welding operation

blown from it with terrific force.
One end struck the side of the

a match and tearing two boards
from the side wall. A piece of
one-inch pipe which was hanging
on the wall directly in its path
was bent into the shape of bow.
The other end of the tank struck
the opposite wall after it had
barely grazed the back of Will

both directions. Seven panes of

Similarity in Cars
Causes Confusion

Misunderstanding a car from
the Roth Motor company here
and returning with another one
made Arthur Eykyn and Ray
Frazee of Lamberton the subjects
of much kidding.
After returning the car, garage
employees noticed the one re-
turned was a 1885 model while
the one the men had taken was a
1884 model. The men were told
of their mistake and made ar
rangements to 60 to Springfield
to make the exchange. When
they arrived groups of citizens
had gathered to lament the fact
that DR.. Abbot's car had been
stolen and DR.. Abbot was espe-
cially excited because his insur-
ance policy ran out two days be-
fore.
A motorcycle patrolman was
sent out on the trail of the rob-
bers and the crime station at Red
wood Falls was broadcasting
description of the stolen car. 1t
happened that the men parked
their car beside the Abbot car
and the similarity of the cars was
the cause of all the confusion.

Everybody's Health

New and important studies
have been made recently on the
prevalence of pork worm infesta-
ton in human beings.
Doctors call attention of these
studies in a bulletin because sum-
mer time menus for cold suppers
and picnics often include sausages
made of raw or incompletely
cooked pork. There is very
good chance that such sausage
will contain varying amounts of
the pork worm. If the meat is
badly infected, the human host
will be acutely i'll in about seven
days with an intestinal malady
that is very like typhoid fever or
intestinal flu. This phase will
probably be followed by acute
muscular pain or distress in
whatever muscles the worms may
lodge, travelling from the intest-
ines in the blood stream. Very
often it will be the diaphragm
because the worm called "trichin-
ella" has a prediction for &C
tive muscles like the diaphragm.
At this stage, the trouble is often
mistaken for asthma, cough,
pleurisy, heart disease, muscular
rheumatism.
Studies of 1900 autopsies made
on persons from all classes and
walks of life showed 12.5 with
the encapsulated worm in the
diaphragm. The presence of these
worms showed beyond any argu-
ment that the people studied had
at some time been infected; had
perhaps been very i'll with ma
lady that had not been recognized
because it looks so much like SO
many other diseases and because,
until recently, it had been thought
that trichinosis was comparative
ly rare in this country.
The source of the worms is

the skill of the player in both types
of competition" Johnny said. "Since
1888, when medal play was discon-
