The Alliance is the best organization

is very far from antagonizing the

The "Hookworm Disease" a Genuine
Discovery.

Travellers in the South have fire.
quently observed the extreme pallor
of the so-called "poor white trash "
but until the past year no one has
ever suspected that these people we're
the victims of a disease, which was,
in part at least, responsible for both
their mental and physical condition.
They have been treated by local doc
tors for malaria and anemia, they
have been dOsed with quinine, ar
senic, iron-all to no purpose. The
discovery of the rue cause of these
symptoms, bodily and mental, was
made during the last year by Doctor
@. W. Stiles, of the United States
Marine Hospital Service. There is
in Europe a condition of anemia
which is produced by an intestinal
parasite called the hook worm. This
is a small worm not much larger
than a sewing needle, which, when
it inhabits the human intestine, oc-
ours in large numbers. It's eggs, of
microscopic size, through contami-
mated water or uncOoked vegetables,
spread the disease. Doctor Stiles
went South for the purpose of ascer-
tanning whether there was such a
disease prevalent in this country.
He examined some fourteen hundred
convicts in one of The Southern pris-
ons, without, however, finding the
disease. But going into what is
known as the sand belt, he soon en-.
countered individuals with character
istic symptoms. Weeks were spent
in the affected territory. 1t was
found that the disease was limited
to the sand belt, being found
in the clay region except where the
individuals had come from the sand
belt. Persons moving from the clay
to the sand soon become affected.
The disease does not occur in the
well-to-do because of their more
clearly habits in life. As many as
fourteen hundred of these parasites
have been found in one persons in
~testine. The anemia they occasion is
intense. Persons affected with the
disease soon tire and want to leave
their work; they are incapable of
continuous exertion, they contract
morbid appetites-become clay-eat-
ers; and Doctor Stiles observed one
case in which the morbid appetite
took the form of a prediction for
live mice. The form of the affected

CHILD LABOR AND

whether this confident claim on the
