waiting for my chauffeur to obtain
some cigar, when a handsome girl

fairly well tralued and, after a brief
survey, I concluded Immediately that
she would answer th purpose of my
next annual vacation. Hhe wil dressed
with great cere, and with tli air of

necessary things. In a moment ah

My chauffeur cam out Just then,
and I ordered blm to follow. Fortu

The handsome girl got out and as

"There I something In that," he
observed. I waa writing out the check

There waa a alight lull In the quiet

It occurred to me to ask her a ques

"I'ardon me, darling," t said, "but
would you mind telling me something
of which I am very curious to know?

"Certainly not" aha replied, with

"Would you mind, then, telling me

It may seem Inconsequent on my part,

"No."
"For two reasons. First because

TAPE-WORM
'"THIS la an Intestinal parasite wblcb
A I nouithed by the nutrient fluids
tn which It Is bathed.
It la prenent not only In man, but In
the bog, row, rat, dog, numeroua varie
ties of Hah and other anlmula.
Two varieties are common In man,
Taeniae and ISothriiH'ephnlt. A tape
worm euicgeats a strip of tape, being
composed of oblong segments, averag
Ing about aa Inch In length.
He hai a small head, a threadlike
neck, and on the lower surface of the
head are suckers and rows of hook
lets by which he attaches hlmaclf to
th Intestlnnl mucous membrane.
Unless the head and Ita neareat seg
ments are expelled, he will reproduce
blmaelf within three or four months.
The segments are passed with the
Intestlnnl evacuations, singly or In
strings which may be aeveral feet long.
The common form, Taenia solium,
I (even to ten feet long and, when
mature, ha from LtK) to 4.V) segments.
III head I a large aa a good
alxed pln'a head: his neck one-half
Inch long; the segment near the head
contain both male and femnle genera
tive organs and tliey produce enor
mous numl era of ecirs.
The egg are taken up by the hng
and developed In hi stomsrh or In
testine, a minute head growing out
of a minute cyst.
This larva la carried by the blood to
the brain, eye, liver, munclea or akin,
pork which contains It being known
aa measly pork.
When eaten raw, or slightly cooked,
or In sausage. It la followed by the
development of the tupe-worin If the
Juices of the stomach or Intestine, of
the person eating It, are not efficient
In destroying it.
Children suffer frwtn Intestinal
worms, but seldom from tnpe-worina.
One may have tupe-wonu and he en
tirely unconscious of It, so fur as
symptom fir concerned, or there may
be symptoms of a pronounced char
acter.
These may be annemla, emaciation,
convulsion, fit. Vitus' dance, dizziness,
neuralgia, ringing lu the earn, or some
other form of nervous disturbance.
The appetite may fall, or It may be
vorarloua; constipation may alternate
with diarrhea ; and there may be colic
with nausea and vomiting; also Itch
Ing In various part of the body.
To prevent tape-worm, avoid raw or
Imperfectly cooked food, and water
that la In any way auspicious.
If tape-norm la present, the seg
ments will alwaya be found at some
time or other In the Intestinal evacua
tions.
To get rid of a tape-worm, fast sev
eral days, taking cantor oil at night,
and enemnta of cold water In the
niomlng, preceding the latter with
Suitable doses of epsom salt or phos
phate or soda.
If this does not suffice, some form
of vermifuge, or tenlaclde, must be
taken, your physician deciding.

BUILDING
POORLY BUILT ROAD I
CREATES LIABILITY
When a road I built that will not
outlast It cost, th builder sre buy !
Ing trouble nd paying cash for It
They borrow money to buy a liability
create a debt to buy something that
will be a continual expense until It
finally becomes a total loss through
being worn out And borrowing money
to build a road that will not last un
der modern traffic condition I un
sound flnsnce. In the old dsy of
macadam and gravel road It waa no
uncommon occurrence for a county or
township to have as many aa three
sets of outstanding bonds on a main
traveled highway. The sooner a bad
road Is put out of existence that mucb
sooner will a wholly unnecessary ex-
pens be cut off. Not only Unit, but
land value will begin to Improve.
Permanent road building cost
money, and It la well to look at the
cold-cash side of the proprvrltlnn T
the beneficial effects upon the sm-lui
and educational standards of the com
munlty are not always lusceptlble of
exact calculation, but they are rertnln
to come; and since a permanent road
costs money, we must know there Is
to be a profit from somewhere to off
set the coat Something fur nothing
has never yet been found. I'roflts
from a permanent road come to the
farmer la the reduction of hauling
coale It puts htm lu a position wher
he can get to market every day, anil
where be ran haul two loada at one
trip Instead of having to make two
trips to haul one load. These are a
few plain reasons why a good road
should be built rather than continue
trying to maintain a bad one ,
How to get a good road aystem Is
not a difficult problem If a county nr
township la willing to be guided by
common aense The first step Is to
employ a competent highway engineer.
He will make a atudy of traffic condi
tions, ascertain where the main market
road runt, and build accordingly, con
structing feeder lines to the main
market lines with a type of material
that will be leaa expensive than that
required on the main market lines.
and yet will at the aame time meet all
traffic requirements on the feeder
lines. The main lines. If built with a
solid base will be permsnent
Bridging Major Streams
Helped by Federal Aid
On of th niost helpful result of
federal aid to road construction ba
been the bridging of major streams
which It ha encouraged and mad pos
sible, according to th annual report
of the bureau of public road of tb
United State Department of Agricul
ture. 8uch atream are. In many case.
th boundaries of counties or states.
and the necessity of securing Joint ac
tion of the authorities of the two po
litical divisions, coupled with the In
adequacy of funds available, ha
made the construction of. modern
structures over wide rivers an almoat
hopeless problem. Tet It Is evident
that no continuous road system I
poslbl without bridging these bar
rlera.
Federal aid and the co-ordinating In
fluence of the federal government
have been the meana of securing prac
tical action In a great many case of
thl sort Th careful atudy of the
principal line of travel leading to the
designation of the federal-aid highway
system ha developed clearly the need
of bridge of thl character over cer
tain dream and ha brought about
agreement a to the location In which
the hrldgea ahould be built Thl
benefit ha been experienced by the
majority of the states, especially
those of the South and the Ulsala
Ippl valley.
Illinois la Leader
Recent construction reports show
that Illinois now la th unquestioned
leader In pavement mileage, with Cal
ifornia aecond, New York third and
Pennsylvania fourth. The Illinois stats
highway department has succeeded,
thla season, In constructing more than
one-sixth of all road laid In th I'nlt
ed Statee.
Good Roads Facts
North Carolina ha the longest aa
phaltlc hard surfsced highway east of
the Rocky mountains, the road extend
ing 103 miles.
Enough highways to circle the earth
24,000 mile lu all, are scheduled for
construction In th t'nlted State dur
ing ID'.'O by various state highway de
partments. Good roads are coming
to be a reality tn all atutea of the
Union.

Twenty-four thousand miles of stale
highways are scheduled for construc
tion In 10'JS, according to the United
Statea bureau of publlp roads.
