pigs thus fed are eaten, the parasite
enters the human body. The one step
that will insure you against its entry
into your own body is to see that all
pork or pork products are thoroughly
cooked. You can be sure of this even
before it enters your kitchen II the
meat bears the stamp of the United
States Department Of Agriculture
showing that it has been inspected and
passed as free Of trichinae.
RUT what is the plague Of trichinae
that works such havoc with the
public health and Is responsible, In
many cases of subsequent pneumonia,
for the death which ensues.
It Is small white worm, slender
as pine needle, and pointed at one
end. The male worm is about one
sixteenth Of an inch long and the
female from one-eighth to one-sixth
Of an inch long. The sexes differ
notably.
Once free in the stomach, the
worms mature in from two to three
days after infected meat has been
eaten. Mating occurs, after which
the mature worms attain full growth
and new generation of young worms
is lodged in the body from six to seven
days after eating the trichinous pork.
The production of young continues
for several weeks and they escape from
the female and enter into the lymph
spaces Of the body. getting into the
blood streams eventually where the
larval worms are most abundant from
the eight to the twenty-f1fth day after
infection.
These larvae are carried by the
blood to the various parts of the body,
and when they reach the voluntary
muscles, they leave the blood and
penetrate into the muscle bundles.
While all such muscles are subject to
this infection. those most heavily in
tested with the parasites are the most
active ones, for these have the richest
blood supply. The diaphragm, the
muscles between the ribs and the
muscles of the throat, eye and tongue
are favorite lodging places, and 10
days after infection they are filled
with the little worms.
Once this parasite gets into your
muscle, it begins to grow, and in two
weeks is about 10 times its original
size. The patient comes down with a
fever which sometimes amounts to los.
His muscles ache. There are pains
in his legs and arms. and breathing
Is difncult. One Of the most common
indications Of a trichinae infection Is
the watery swelling that appears under
the eyes. After the nth or sixth
week Of illness, the cases develop into
pneumonia, and 1t Is then that most
deaths occur.
Only about 10 per cent Of the meat
in this country is actually inspected
by the Bureau of Animal Industry,
leaving 80 per cent with little or no
inspection. 1t is in this 80 per cent
that danger of infection lies At Ger
tain seasons of the year in rural COM
munities farmers get together to
slaughter hogs. The family prepares
meat products, such as sausage, bacon,
hams and "salami," head cheese and
pigs feet, for Winter and Spring con-
sumption Sometimes these events
are the occasion for pork feasts. and
since the slain hogs may have been
infected with trichinae and have un-
dergone no Federal inspection, such

~ EWARE of the trichinae in
- piece of improperly cooked
and infected pork finding
IL way through blood streams into
the muscles, to bring you down with
the dreaded trichinosis.
This disease has become so prevalent
that the G-men of science are making
a special survey of its ravages in an
effort to educate the public in preven-
tion and treatment.
To this end, Dr. Maurice Hall was
brought over from the Bureau Of AMI
NAL Industry. Department of Agri-
culture, several months ago to join the
forces at the National Health Institute
that are engaged in fighing this dan
gerous and painful disease.
DR.. Hall brought with him four lab
oratory associates. all of whom have
been for many years tracking down
parasites that prey upon human be-
ings. Dr. Hall himself has worked
with parasites for 80 years, and If you
doubt that one can spend 80 years in
a study Of worms, you should hear
what Dr. Hall has to say about them.
Parasites uninteresting? Why they
represent the human ideal of existence.
Life without work, sustenance without
effort. There is nothing more fascinat-
ing than a piece Of life that can get
away with it."
The little worms that cause all the
damage in the human body are known

will recall the song, but the history
Of the poem Is worth repeating, since
it is regarded by competent writer's
to be the best OF the many beautiful
and sentimental songs written dur
ing the Civil War period; indeed,
none has quite reached the heights
OF excellence Of Mrs. HoWe's lines,
the first verse of which you will no
doubt recall:
Mine eyes have seen the glory Of the
coming of the Lord;
He is trampling out the vintage
where the grapes Of wrath are
stored,
He has loosed the fateful lightning of
His terrible swift sword
His truth is marching on.
Mrs. Howe's own version OF how
she was inspired to write this soul
stirring song follows:

as trichinae, and DR.. Hall has been on
their trail from one end Of this coun-
try to the other down into Central
and South America and back again.
Thanks to his efforts We have learned
something about the control Of this
parasite and an attempt is being made
to bring about legislation eventually
that will do away with the big garbage
feeding plants that are more respon-
sible than any other single factor for
the spread Of the disease.
From the pork scraps fed to other
hogs that come from these centers

given in this city by the celebrated
Jenny Lind-the Swedish Nightin-
gale" as she was called-on the eve
ming of December l6 1850, in build
ing on the present site of the National
Theater, especially constructed for the
purpose. Others who were there to
hear the great songbird included the
President of the United States and
family, the president of the Senate,
Daniel Webster; Henry Clay. Mr..
Crittenden, Gen. Scott, justices OF
the United States Supreme Court and
many Senators and Representatives.

Nothing was wanting that ONCE,

with her most exquisite melodies.
'Casta Diva the Flute Song the
Bird Song and the Greeting to
America But the great feature OF
the occasion seemed to be an act
of inspiration. The singer suddenly
turned her face toward that part OF
the auditorium where John Howard
Payne was sitting and sang Home,
Sweet Home with such pathos and
power that WhirlWind of excitement
and enthusiasm swept through the
vast audience. Webster himself lost
all self-control, and one might read
lily imagine that Payne was thrilled
with rapture at this unexpected and
magnificent rendition Of his own i'm
mortal lyric"
Upon one occasion when the noted
diva. Adelina Patti, visited the White
House during the Civil War, after
having sung several selections, she
was asked by President Lincoln to
sing Home, Sweet Home" It was
not long after the death of Willie
Lincoln, February 20. 1862, and both
the President and Mrs. Lincoln were
grief-stricken over their loss. Patti
is said to have not been familiar with
the words of the song, and the Presi-
dent had to hunt them up for her in
an old song book. For the famous
singer it was trying occasion and q
pathetic one for those who had suf-
fered the recent bereavement, and
after Nine. Patti had ceased it was
observed that Mr.. and Mrs. Lincoln
were silently weeping, and 1t was
several minutes before they could
compose themselves.
A T ONE time Payne tried his lit

which he was highly praised, and he

certainly one of his most exquisite
songs. 1t Is frequently heard now

Payne, when In WashinRton, was

Washington, the latter part OF his life
being spent in a residence on the site

British, and was courteously received
on board the Royal Oak by Admiral
Cochrane. However, the admiral, and
likewise Gen. Ross, did not take kindly
to the suggestion of releasing DR..

denounced Beanes to the utmost.
Fortunately, Mr. Skinner had come
prepared with letters from the
wounded left by Ross at Bladensburg,
and when the latter found, from read
