.LAz|NESS
A DISEASE
DOWN SOUTH

Washington, Oct. DIR Charles War
dell Stiles, chief of the division OF zoolo-
gy In the Public Health and Marine Hos
pital service who a year ago attracted
general attention by declaring the hook
worm to he the parasite of laziness, will
soon make another report on the same
subject, the intervening year having been
devoted to further research.
He is firmly convinced that the hook
worm is fully as dangerous "a malaria II
kills, saps life and energy, losses the time
OF workmen, plays havoc with the domes-
tic affairs OF household. and at the
same time Is little understood by the
medical profession.
Sufferers from hookworm." Or. stiles
says, "show many symptoms, not all
alike by any means. The face OF con-
flrmed sufferer has an anxious. stupid
expression and is sometimes bloated. The
pupils OF the eyes are frequently dilated.
and the eyes are dull. dry and usually of
a chalky white Sometimes there Is a stu
pid. fsh-like stare that is hard to de-
scribe very similar TO that notice In
cases OF extreme alcoholic intoxication.
"a perverted and generally ravenous
appetite is one or the symptoms Of the
disease Patients are especially fond OF
pickles. | have seen boys and girls In ad-
vanced stages or TIE disease greedly de-
your entire bottles OF pickles.
Others want salt or lemons. or TO chew
coffee or drink large quantities OF coffee
without sugar or milk. The disease was
often encountered In South Carolina,
Georgia and other southern states.
THE importance OF the disease in a
farming section may be judged when l
say that I found many cases on one
farm. The loss I'm wages and laboring ca
pacity r. large under tho circumstances.
ION farm employing one hundred
hands In an infected district II is not an
exaggeration 10 say that these hundred
people cannot do the work OF eighty aver
age hands In n healthy region
THE disease Is carried by the poor
whites of the sand and pine regions OF
the South into the cotton mills. but does
not spread much In the mills. IL neverthe-
less causes a considerable amount OF
anaemia among the operatives"

of Seadog's sons who had been giver
another commission to perform. Hi
had been instructed to dispatch coui.
ier to the county seat to notify the
sheriff. This official would communi.
cate with the governor, who in turn
would order out the state militia.
The trouble had been under discus
sion for years. 1t had entered politics
and was the means of arousing the ami
mostly of two states. The officers on
the south side Of the river stood by
their fishermen, and those on the north
side were equally as loyal. 1t was an
Interstate affair and needed but the
firing OF gun to awaken large citi-
zenship and plunge the two states into
most serious complications.
Many of the fishermen on both sides
are ignorant foreigners, desperate char
acters by reason of their calling and
the hardships OF a fisherman's life, and
when once aroused to arms would lose
their reason. Bloodshed and riot were
now expected in their reddest form.
Women and children looked out
across the black nay with anxious eyes
and abated breath. Their fathers and
brothers and sons were stealing along
the dark line to death or victory. They
watched for the flash and listened for
the report OF the guns that meant death
to some of their number, for they could
not expect otherwise than that some of
their loved ones must go.
There was none more sad and more
anxious than SaDksla. She constantly
left the bedside of the sleeping Ring
void and gazed out into the gloom
which still overshadowed the bay.
Their only friend was there. but she
would not recall him il she could.
The true woman adheres more closely
to principle than men, and while the
death OF loved one rends their hearts
to the greatest depths, they would make
the sacrifice rather than yield to OPP
preston or wrong.
The villagers were not kept long in
suspense. The first red fare OF morn /
ing soon arose in the east. 1t shot out
its dim rays like retreating ghosts after
midnight prowl. One by one these
lifted across the waters and disappear
ed on the bosom of the ocean. Bright
er rays followed that dispersed the
shadows, and discovered the contending
fishermen to eachother.
That was all that was necessary.
The long pent up venom n both fac
lions was released. The shaft OF death
was hurled. Lead and ball sent upon
heir terrible mission.
A fusilade doomed out from the head
}. the island. 1t was answered in re-
uin farther to the north. Then a des-
iltory firing was kept up along the line
II fish traps.
The rising sun drove back the smoke
nd the fishermen on either side lay
on their oars, awaiting sec
nd attack by the enemy.

An Unfortunate Choice.

Mrs. Black, with a family Of eight,
could keep a cook, but Mrs. Green,
who paid the same wages and whose
family numbered only two, expert
enced the greatest difficulty in per-
suading one to stay with her. Mrs.
Green was troubled about 1t, and nat
urally sought suggestions wherever
she could get them. One day the two
women happened to meet at a news
