FIVE YEARS WITHOUT FOOD Texas ticks kept by the Public Health Service at Washington have proven that they can live five years without food. Kept in tiny boxes which are set on sand that has a slight moistening at times, these ticks are being studied because of the fact that they cany the germs of a dangerous disease known as relapsing fever. This fever has been known for centuries in Europe, As ia. and Africa, but until recently was almost unknown in the United States. These were traced to tick brtes. Some of the insects were sent to Washington and feeding them at different intervals by allowing them to suck the blood of monkeys has shown that those not fed for five years are still alive as are the germs they harbor. The ticks have not yet been found east of the Mis sissippi. MACHINE SHOP FOR SALE It is just what we call it, although it is only one ma chine.
