THE SOUTHERN BARBECUE.
Preparation of the Feast as Described
by One w no las Had
Experience.

The way we fix for a barbecue is to
begin to get ready the day befo'. The
meat is roastin' all night, says a
writer in Outing. We have plenty of
different kinds-shote, calf, kid and
Soat-and we roast 'em whole. 4
trench is dug and oak bark Goals put
in. Then sticks are lai +. across for the
shote and other creatures to rest on.
Some white man has this in charge
but the niggers keep the fires goin'
an do the basting and the rough
work. The next DAY everybody comes.
There's detail to do the carving, and
we all step up and get what we want
and go and set down by some tree to
eat it. OF course, there's potatoes and
cornmeal. light-bread and pickles and
cake, and there's ice cream, and there's
pure, genuine coffee that the old ladies
make in abundance. Then there's fried
chicken if anyone is fastidious enough
to want it, and some enterprising fellow
is likely to bring a dozen bottles of
beer and invite his special friends out
to his buggy to drink it. But the
best thing to my thinkin' is the shote.
A man hasn't got any part in the resur-
rection until he's eaten barbecued shote.

THE HOOKWORM DISEASE
Mcrobe of laziness Here
w H. Mays.
By DR.. w H. Mays

Ashford, on investigating twenty cases
hookworm ova in nineteen of them. 1t
is not uncommon in most of the
Southern states. Sporadic cases are
met with in northern cities, but they
can be always traced back to a resi-
dence in an infected region. In Italy
it was long known as the tunnel
disease" During the boring of the
ST. Gothard tunnel an outbreak of such
virulence occurred, due to the unclean
to be suspended.
1t is durable disease. OF the many
treated in the Queens Hospital no
fatal case has ben recorded. 1t is also
a preventable disease in the highest
sense of the word. There is no ex-
cuse for its existence among decent
people 1t is the offspring of the trans
gression of sanitary customs, of foul
surroundings and neglect of soap and
towns where sanitation and cleanliness
are observed and the amenities of civ
ilized life prevail, but only where ag-
gregations of primitive and squalid
Cpeople herd together in defiance of es-
tablished health laws.
The visitation of hookworm disease
introduced by the Porto Rican immi-
grants is rapidly dying out, the eco
nomic conditions here not favoring it's
continuance For on most of the plan
tations throdghout the territory great
care is bestowed upon the housing and
domestic comfort of the laborers and
the sanitation of their dwellings, The
following measures, where not already
carried out. may be suggested for the
prevention of the disease among ag-
sregations of laborers in country dis
tricts, whether on plantations or not:
1. The thorough drainage of houses
and the free sweep of air under them.
2. The draining off of swamps or
marshy lands near by
3. In the absence of sewers, the con-
struction of cesspools. which must be
frequently filled in and removed.
4. The construction of latrines, and
the enforcement of their use
.. A liberal supply of pure water,
easy of access.

Editor Advertiser: In your issue OF
Yesterday is an article on uncinariasis
or hookworm disease referring particu-
| larlv tn the peculiar Iassitude and de-
bility it produces. These symptoms
are prominent even in mild forms Of
the disease, being due to anemia. Dur
ing an investigation of an outbreak of
hookworm disease in Southern city
recently, the lay press announced in
large headlines Discovery of the mi
crobe of laziness."
This disease is by no means a
stranger in these islands. Periodic at
tacks have occurred for many years on
the plantations and elsewhere, as l am
informed by DR.. Russell and other local
physicians But it was the advent of
the Porto Ricans some four years ago
that gave it a practical interest here.
1t will be remembered that the Plant
eight hundred Porto Ricans of the
peasant class, with their families, to
work in our cane fields. They came
absolutely reeking with hookworms. To
say that more than half were suffering
from the disease would be putting it
mildly OF thirty-four cases that j
treated in conjunction with DR.. Cooper
while attending physician of the
Queens Hospital, 20 were Porto Ri
cans.
The hookworm or uncinaria is the
most Objectionable of all the parasites
that infest the human body. and un-
less dislodged is liable to produce pros
tration, blood poisoning and death. The
worm is half an inch long, the thick
ness of hat pin, it's anterior extremity
curved like a hook, and it's mouth arm
ed with teeth. II fastens upon the
inner wall, or lining, of the intestine,
and lives by sucking blood therefrom.
1t does not remain long in one spot,
but let's go from time to time and
ing of blood from the many bites, and
infection by way of the open wounds.
Where numbers of these bIoodthirsty
creatures are thus feasting upon their
victim, serious interference With health
necessarily follows. There is great
physical exhaustion and emaciation. A
peculiar feature is extreme sleepiness,
the result of cerebral anemia. The pa
tient wants to lie down and sleep at
all hours during the day, and when
reused he is listless and inert
How does the hookworm gain en-
trance into the system? The larvae
are conveyd into the mouth on food
that has been handled by infected
hands. Or, perhaps, the food has been
placed on infected ground and thus
contaminated. But as rule it may be
said that the disease is acquired by
eating with dirty hands.
1t is perhaps, the most ancient
disease of which we have any record.
In an Egyptian papyrus translated by
Ebers, written $3.50 years ago, the
symptoms are accurately described. In
the Talmud, that store-house of an
cient wisdom, is an injunction against
eating with unwashed hands, that,
taken with its context, undoubtedly re-
ferS to this disease. 1t is highly prob
able that Herod the Tetrarch, who
scripture tells US was "eaten of worms
till he died. was victim of the hook
worm.
1t is found in all the warm ATTITUDES
of the world. Egypt has been it's home
from time immemorial. 1t prevails
constantly in Cuba, Panama, Mexico,
Brazil, India, China, Australia, and
particularly in Porto Rico, where Dr.

The Presidents Latest Speech.

,rba Presidents sueech in New York last
rigbt was worthy of his office, of the an
niversary he was assisting In celeorallis'
and of himself There is no greater theme
than Justice for all men. and help for those
who need it Every word spoken in that
behalf by anybody at any time is service
10 humanity: and, of course, the higher the
sneaker in the scale of influence and posi-
ton the greater that service
Tho negro as the President points OUT
is in need of the sympathy and assistance
of the white man, whose neighbor ne IS
and whose fortunes in a measure are
linked with his own. We cannot keep tne
negro down and rise ourselves TO the luii
height of our opportunity. Where ne ID
ignorant we must educate him; Where lie
is vicious we must correct him; where ne
is capable and successful we must encour-
age and reward him. Any other course To-
ward him would be fraught with minute
harm for everybody in interest. The op-
pressor would suffer to as great a degree
as the oppressed.
The obligation of the negro is quite as
plain. He must not content himself with
Chewing the law-which, however, should
at all times be his first consideratlon-put
he must withhold his countenance from
those or MS race WHO tIS is'". ~
must actively support the ministers OF the
law. and make himself thus an agent in the
STRENGTHENING of order and progress. When
he does this he serves himself and every
body else Less than this he cannot al
ford to do.
The President is particularly happy upon
the point that justice to the negro has no
connection whatever with the question OF
the social status of the two races. That,
as he shows. is quite beyond the influence
of legislation. even If legislators were fool
ish enough to take it up. and will continue
to be regulated by the supreme council of
individual choice and common sense. Men
of the type of Gov. Vardaman betray the
weakness of their cause by raising the
spook of social equality in an attempt to
deprive the negro of the opportunities and
rewards of education and good conduct.
Those who were expecting the President
to speak on the subject of the nulliticat ton
of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments
to the Constitution are disappointed, but
must upon moments reflection concede
that upon that subject if he is to treat it
directly and definitely, he owes the first
word to Congress. Maybe we shall get it
next fall or winter. There is no hurry.

FOREIGNERS and the Treaties.

We may all be sure that good deal of
the foreign comment on the difference be-
tween the President and the Senate on the
arbitra ton treaties will be but poorly in
formed. The divisions of our governmental
functions and the controversies growing out
of them have always been something of a
puzzle across the water, Notwithstanding
the attention that has been paid to them.
In time, however it will dawn upon the
outside world that this affair does not
commit the United States to war; that as
people we still desire peace. and will con-
tinue to be an agent in behalf of peace;
that our differences are adjustable and
yield to time. Our greatest strength, in
deed, lies in the development of opinion and
it's free and explicit expression.

That Hungarian Dinner.

The President is filling an engagement In
New York this evening which, we are told,
was made in a sort of jest. While governor
of New York he dined with the Hungarian
Club, and in the banter at the table ac-
cepted an invitation to be the clubs guest
again when he reached the White House
The Hungarians are happy and he is happy,
and the evening ought to be the merriest In
the history of the organization.
Let us go back a little. There was good
authority for that banter. Mr.. Roosevelt
name while he was governor of New YORK
was frequently mentioned in connection
with the presidency. His New York ad-
mirers believed that he was well started on
the way. Their calculation Was-and he
shared it-that a second term as governor
would put him into excellent posltlon lor
1904, and that he would sweep the deck for
the nomination to succeed Mckinney. ana
so they resisted the suggestion of the
second place on the ticket with Mckinney,
fearing that the vice presidency might prove
a grave for even SO alert and capable a
man.
But the HungaranS and others proposed
and fortune as usual, disposed. Mr.. Roose-
yelt's popularity grew at so rapid pace
that by 1900 the demand was general that
he become the candidate for Vice President,
and objection on his part was brushed
aside Then came election and the terrible
tragedy at Buffalo, and Mr.. Roosevelt en-
tered the White House three years and
half before the time set for that event by
his most sanguine admirers
That decree of fate has rendered useless,
but not altogether undressing, the specu-
lation as to whether had he remained IN
the office of Vice President Mr. Roosevelt
would have carried off his partys supreme
prize last year. The office was not to his
liking at all, and not suited to his tenn
permanent, and there were several other
strong men with eyes fixed longingly on
Mr.. McKinley's shoes. That we should
have witnessed lively contest is certain.
But the question of the party's nominee
for 1904 was settled the day that Mr.. Nc
Kinley died. 1t was made reasonably sure
then that if he lived, Mr.. Roosevelt, whose
administration would be the basis of his
partys appeal to the country, would lead
the party; and except for some idle talk
about a Hanna boom everything went Mr..
Roosevelt's way. He was nominated by
reclamation, and his shrewd management
of his campaign resulted in the overwhelm-
ing victory which the Hungarian Club of
New York is celebrating this evening.

Pass the Smoke Bill.

Yesterdays grist of local legislation by the
House was satisfactory as far as it went,
but it is a disappointment that the list of
approved bills does not include the amend
ment to the smoke law which was passed
by the Senate last week. This Senate bill
had not it is true. reached the House Dis
trict committee in time for a full considera-
ton in meeting, but In view of the fact that
the House has already placed itself on
record in this matter it was thought that
perhaps consideration would be paid to the
emergency and the bill placed upon its
passage without further formality.
The House bill of the last Congress, which
the Senate allowed to die without action,
granted to business owners of furnaces the
right to emit smoke for three-minute
periods to relieve them from the burden Of
the non-compliable features of the smoke
law as construed by the health officer
That measure was open to objection on the
part Of all who earnestly wish TO see WASH
ington's smoke nuisance reduced to a mini
mum without injustice. in that it did not
stipulate a limit to the total amount of
lawful smoke emission during the day. The
Senate bill, now before the House commit
tee. corrects this fault by limiting the total
smoke emission to sixty minutes during the
twenty-four hours. Otherwise it is similar
TO the House bill, save that it specifically
includes the government and District build
ings within the prohibition and grants a
siX-minute period of allowable emission at
times of making new fires.
In point Of principle, in that it grants re-
lief TO the business man whose furnace
cannot possibly be made to comply win
the existing law. the Senate bill is in line
with the measure already passed by the
House.
There is little time now at the disposal of
the House District committee and it is by
no means certain that another District
day" will be granted. But in view of the
paramount Importance of the enactment of
this bill at tbs present session it is to be
hoped that Chairman Babcock and his ass0-
ciates Will make every effort to put the ill
upon its passage in season to become a
law, whether as part of the regular Dis
1rict calendar or under a unanimous con-
sent greement.
