QUEER DISEASE IS IN UNITED STATES Many Here Afflicted With Odd Ailment, Says Prof. Munyon. GRF.WSOME CREATURES VERY' COMMON, FINDS EXPERT. Many people in the United States are Afflicted with a queer disease, according to a statement yesterday by Professor James M. Munyon. He made the follow ing remarkable and rather grewsome statement: "Many persons who come and write to my headcpiarters at 53d and Jefferson Sts., Philadelphia, Pa., think they are suffering firom a* simple storAach trouble, when in reality they are the victims of «in entirely different disease—that of tape worm. These tape worms are huge internal parasites, which locate in the upper bowel and consume a large per centage of the nutriment in undigested food. They sometimes grow to a length of forty to sixty feet. One may have a tape worm for years and never know the cause of his or her ill health. "Persons who are suffering from one of these creatures become nervous, weak and irritable, and tire at the least ex ertion. The tape worms rob one of am bition and vitality and strength, but they are rarely fatal. "The victim of this disease is apt to believe that he is suffering from chronic, stomach trouble, and doctors for years without relief. This is not the fault of the physicians he consults, for there is no absolute diagnosis that will tell posi tively that one is not a victim of tape ■worm. "The most common symptom of this trouble is an abnormal appetite. At times the person is ravenously hungry and cannot get enough to eat. At other times the very sight of food is loathsome. There is a gnawing, faint sensation at the pit of the stomach, and the victim has headaches, fits of dizziness and nau sea. He cannot sleep at night and often thinks he is suffering from nervous pros tration. "I have a treatment which has had wonderful success in eliminating these frreat creatures from the system. In the course of its regular action in aiding digestion, and ridding the blood, kidneys and liver of impurities it has proven fatal to these great worms. If one has a tapo worm, this treatment will, in nine cases out of ten, stupefy and pass it away, but if not, the treatment will rebuild the run-down person, who Is probably suffer ing from stomach trouble and a general anaemic condition. My doctors report marvelous success here with this treat ment. Fully a dozen persons have passed these worms, but they are naturally reti cent about discussing them, and of course we cannot violate their confidence by giv ing their names to the public;" Letters addressed to Professor James M. Munyon, 53d and Jefferson Streets, Philadelphia, Pa., will receive as careful attention as though the patient called in person. Medical advice and consultation absolutely free. Not a penny to pay.

(By CAPT. A. H. WADOELL.) If we are good judges of human na ture, or able to judge others by their biographers, we should feel very much inclined to lay a $lO bill to a 10c piece that the wily "Richard" who once made himself hoarse 'shouting "A Horse, a Horse, my Kingdom for a Horse," wanted a good one. Richard had just killed five Rieh monds, or thought he had, and was looking for another when his horse was killed under him, and when he uttered his memorable words. Yes, he wanted a horse and he wanted one badly enough, but, he wa*nted a good one. A good horse was what he wanted, good horses are what we all want, and it is only the large breeder who can really tell us, how many bad horses he breeds, for one good one that he sells. This is in large measure due to haphazard methods in breeding; breeders are not careful enough in the selection of their parent stock, nor do they take pains enough to ascertain the peculiarities and characteristics of the families from which the parent stock comes. In the trotting horse everything has been neglected for speed, and in the thoroughbred in this country, nothing but this element has been considered; the result is too well known to be re capitulated. Notwithstanding this no body seems to try to remedy the de fects that this near sightedness has produced. There is not one trotting horse in a thousand whose anatomical formation, physical and constitutional soundness, will permit him to become a 2:10 trotter, nor is there one race horse in the same number that can gallop a mile in first class company with any chance of whining, for the same reason. Breeders no not give sufficient care to individuality, size, bone, substance, and soundness; they never think of temper or temperament and only con sider speed, which, although inherited on both sides is useless in a weakling. Stamps and types of horses and' ponies have been bred which are well exemplified in the Shire, Clydesdale, Suffolk, Percheron, Belgium and Hack ney. Why cannot this obtain in some measure at least in the trotter and thor- ughbred in America? It does in other countries and why should it not ASPARAGUS PLANT IS HARDY Asparagus may be started from seed and come into size for table use at the third year. Seed may be planted as late as mid-summer. It requires about six weeks for the seed to germinate and ; 80me up. The young plants may be cultivated in rows as other garden vegetables and set in permanent rows or beds this fall or next spring. The Asparagus plant Is doubly use ful. The young shoots can be used for food and the foliage branches for decoration. Sprays of asparagus are here, in the greatest and most lavish ly, bestowed by nature for the pur pose? The American is the best business man in the world, as good a horse man as can be produced anywhere, itiid is always looking for th'e straight est way of getting to a certain point, and has certainly succeeded in sur prising the world in this direction. He has produced the most extraordinary light harness horse that has ever been heard of, when speed alone is consid ered, and also some of the fastest thoroughbreds, and it seems that the time has not arrived when more care should be shown in tlie selection of horses for breeding purposes, so as to be able to produce sounder, bigger, and better individuals. SUMMER WORK FOR CHICKENS Where There Is Not Perfectly Com fortuble Poultry- House on Farm One Should be Pro vided Tilts Summer. (By MILLER PUVIS.) If there is not a perfectly comfort able poultry house on the farm, one should be planned and provided this summer, at least before cold weather sets in, for it is poor planning to put off providing a warm poultry house until the time arrives for its use. A comfortable poultry house need not be a costly one nor a particularly warm one. Every poultry house should have two rooms with a tight partition be tween them. If it is build in this way, the (look may be crowded into one room when very cold weather comes, and the heat of their bodies will keep the room warm. A hen does not feel the cold as quickly as a man does, for her blood is five per cent, warmer nat urally, and if she can sleep where there is no draft blowing on her she will be very comfortable in a room in which the temperature runs as low as 10 to 12 degrees below the freezing point. I Sheep Will Eat Roots. If too many sheep are confined on a pasture they will eat the grass roots right out of the ground. equaled by few other plants for their pleasing effect in decoration. The plants are very hardy, will stand all kinds of treatment, but will respond liberally to good treatment and will thrive in one place for ten to twenty years. The illustration shows a method of planting asparagus in a French nursery house. Green Food for Ducks. Green oats, sweet corn fodder and rye are excellent green food for both old and young ducks. Miss Chittenden's Purse "Well, of course, something has haj> pened?" "Yes, papa." "You've lost your purse again!" "Yes." "And sr.O with it!" "No. papa—only about. sfi this time." "Only! Only! Only $6! 'You speak as if we had thousands to throw away —as if $(! were only six shingle nails! Well, this is positively the last time that I trust you with more than half a dollar at once. Seventeen different times in the last two years have lost your purse!" That was the home-coming of' Miss Gladys Chittenden as she got back to Bridgeport from a run down to the city to do some shopping. Miss Gladys was the daughter of ex-Judge .Chit tenden, retired from the bench and raising a few chickens and making himself disagreeable to the neighbors on the block where he dwelt. He was a widower, and the girl was his only child. Miss Gladys had lost her purse— lost it in the usual way. She had been behind time in her shopping and had made a rush for the depot and her train at the last minute. In buying her ticket she had left her purse on the shelf and made a run for the gate. The next person to approach the ticket window after Miss Gladys was Mr. Will Anderson, a young architect. He wanted to make some Inquiries about trains. He had taken notice of the young lady, and when the purse fell under his eyes he lost a minute in wondering and then hurried after her. Hut she was gone. Mr. Anderson pocketed the purse and started for his office. He had the plans of a sky scraper on his desk, but what is a skyscraper compared to a young and handsome and unknown girl? He let the plans lie and took careful note of Ihe contents of (he purse; $(! in cash, a key to a trunk, a bit of red ribbon, a square of court-plaster, a tiny little knife—and three or four address cards. He had the clew, "Miss Gladys Chit tenden, Bridgeport, Conu." No street —no number. Three days later found Mr. Ander son in Bridgeport. It wasn't much of a task to lind the family of Chitten den. "Permit me," said Mr. Anderson as he haited and presented his card. "Architect, eh?" growled the judge .'after putting on his glasses and read ing the name. "Well, you can go right •on! I was fool enough to have an architect plan this house, and he had the stairways all running down cellar instead of upstairs." "Your daughter, sir—" "Never you mind my daughter. She doesn't want any chicken coops built!" "She was in the city the other day; and—" "And it's ncne of your business if she was!" Mr. Anderson turned and went back to the depot and took the train for home. He would send the purse by Biail. He would send It by express. He would send it by messenger—by a big, husky messenger who would throw the judge over his own gate if he didn't improve his conduct. No, he would do nothing of the kind. He wouldn't be bluffed. Ho would see Miss Gladys and explain, and then proceed to fall in love with and marry her if his life paid the forfeit. He worked on those skyscraper plans for three days and then hied him away to Bridgeport again. The judge was standing right there at his open gate again, and he was in even a worst temper than before. He recognized the architect half a block away, and was ready to cry out at him. "Didn't 1 say I did not require your services!" "I have not offered them," was the calm reply. "Well, that's all right, but will you look at that mud heap right here on the best street in town!". "Official laxity, I should say." "That's it—that's it! We have got a board, sir, that doesn't know enough to pound sand Why,; it doesn't know sand when it sees it!" "I agree with you, and the members should be stirred up." "You agree, eh? Shake hands.' Ex cuse me if I was a little blunt the other day." "Your daughter,, sir. She was in New York, and —" "Come in—come in. Gladys happens to be home now." And when they had entered the house and stood before the daughter, be continued: "Gladys, gentleman to see you. fil agrees with me perfectly as to the board of public works." The story of the lost and found purse came out, and was laughed over, and the judge chuckled and slapped his leg, and Miss Gladys blushed as she thanked the finder, and half an hour slipped away very pleasantly. In taking his departure Mr. Ander son suggested that the police ought to be shaken up to their duty, and the judge shook hands over that and in vited him to call again, and taken all around the hoped-for romafiee be gan to appear. There were other trips to Bridgeport, and the plans of the skyscraper were finished, and It was only six months later 1 that the Judge said to his daughter one day: "Egad, but Anderson agrees with me that taxes are twice to6 high here, an<' if I ever have a son-in-law—" But Miss Gladys ran away. HAD CAUGHT THEM. He-(after he had kissed her) —My! what's that noise back of us? She —I guess'papa's trying his new motion picture machine. A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE.
