Il. In the water which he drank were mos

slers. Living in these wrigGlers were these
tiny worms which are now f~sasting on Hills
red blood corpusclcs.
Hill had been in New York for n year and
Il half before he knew wha: was the matter
with him. He obtained employment socn
after as an elevator boy. He lives at No.
2S West Sixty-third street. His first all
ment was noticed when he was changed
from a day to a night shift of work. He
grew restless. Il was impossible for him
10 sit still for more than a minute at a
time. As long as he was tucginc ut his ele-
vator rope or was opening or shutting doors
for passengers he felt all right. But in the
hours when there were few passengers and
little actual work to do it was impossible
fer him TO rest. He would begin 10 fidset
the moment he sat down. He sought relief
from this restless state by walking, and
usually found il. This :estlessness was later
accompanied by fever.

on the average five of the ravenous stakes.
Then they found that q Doctor Lewis. while
travelling in Central America twenty years
ago. had discovered the disease. But in all
the medical records of New York there had
not been more than six cases. These had
come from the tropics.
After Doctor Iewis's discovery in Cen
trail America. cases OF the disease Were
noticed in Samoa. There in its advanced
stages it caused swelling of the legs. This
was due to the blood snakes getting into
the ~lymphatics, the small! blood vessels
which run through the tissues of the legs.
So far as the doctors know. there is no
cure for hlariasis. 1t will not greatly short
en- Hits life. but will cause him almost
constant discomfort.
1t is estimated by the doctors that there
are 1sS. 900 nlaria or blood snakes In his
body. This is on the basis of five to each
drop OF blood.

Then came an itching sensation all over
his body. He had been working nights for
several weeks. when this rest!essness and
fever iSft him during the hours he was on
duty. but took ho'd of him about the time
ne had settled himself in bed for his day
Hight sleep. His sleep was 50 broken that he
complained To his employer that he WAS un-
able to rest in the daytime. and at his re-
quest he was changed back to day work.
The rsstlcssuess and itching continued to
harass him during the daylight hours when
he was not actually AT work. But he was
getting good sleep at night. This did not
last long. All the ;rouhlous symptoms left
in the day time. but were present arenight
again. ia the extent that his sleep was
again shroken. He then concluded that it
was not the night work that caused his in

The explanation of iris shifting of periods
of discomfort is very interesting. 1t was

BY pathologists in Samoa. where the disease
is most frequently found. have shown that

AN ARKANSAS PRODUCT

Alderman J. w. Owen brought into the city today some of the fin- est broom corn ever raised in this section. It measures from 16 inches to two feet and he says it is as fine as they raise in Illinois, where he went to get some pointers on it last summer. Judge Owen says for toughness and fineness his corn is better than the Illinois corn. It was raised merely as aL experiment by that gentleman and he did not raise a very large quantity this year.
 Mr. Owens place is about twenty five miles below town, and the har- vesting of tho broom corn has just Legun there. He will sell the corn to northern broom man anufacturers.
