He likes It In his Investigations of the habits ot tne parasite, covering a period of seven years, Dr. Stiles has found that It thrives on liquor that is to say, that It cannot exist In the stomach of anyon-- i "who Is a total abstainer. Thus the difficulty In the way of Its total extermination from the southland has become painfully manifest To get rid of the parasite the pa, tlent must needs deprive himself of any and all substances ' containing even the slightest percentage of alco-- ' hoi. This, of course, includes the "red liquor" so dear to the palate of the victim. In summing up his Investigations Dr. Stiles holds out one hope. He Intimates that "real good red liquor" la not as sustaining to the parasite as Is the cheaper grade, for he says that It thrives most among the poorer classes who drink the latter kind, which probably is imported from the north. Dr. Stiles' report on his investigation has been printed In the bulletin of the United States bureau of x oology. Small Theft Makes "Uncle Sam" Careful Butte Entertaina Japaneae. Butte, Mont.
