Daring American Thrills Crowds al

Mark For Endurance Test.
Rheims, France, Aug. 24.-Glenn Fl.
Curtiss, the American aviator, and VI.
Paulham, representing France, divided
the honors of the second day of ayia-
tion week, the former with a thrilling
flight in which he lowered the speed
record flight for the course, which
measures 6 1-5 miles, to s minutes
35 2-5 seconds, in the latter making
two impressive high altitude flights Of
1917 and Sc kilometres respectively in
the endurance test for the Priz de la
Champagne.
Curtiss' performance began just as
the time limit for the start of the
Prix de la Champagne was expiring.
when the American enthusiasts had
abandoned hope of seeing their repre-
sentative take the field. Amid the un-
bounded jubilation Of the French spec
tators, Bleriot only a few minutes be
fore had clipped IS seconds off LIE
febre's record with his powerful
eighty-horse power m~onoplane. SUI
denly at I'M end of the field the cr}
went up: THE American is starting
All eyes were strained to that par
ticular point, where Cortlandt Field
Bishop, president of the Aero Club Of
America, and a crowd of other admir-
ers surrounded Curtiss.
With a preliminary run along the
ground of 100 yards, the machine rose
lightly and shot by the tribunes at a
height Of sixty feet. 1t was going at a
terrific pace, with the wing level as a
plain. Curtiss made the last TURF IN
der the mistaken impression that the
finish line was closer. He descended
SO close to earth that many thought
he touched, but, perceiving his error,
he mounted quickly and easily, cross
ing the line ma1estically. An instant
later the signal was hoisted that he
had made a record.
Curtiss said that he had not pushed
his machine to the limit of its speed.
and laughingly declined to say more.
adding that the most interesting Incl
dent of his flight was the view he go
of his fallen rivals strewn around the
course
1t is the intention of the American
aviator now to await patiently the in
ternational event for the Gordon
Bennett cup Saturday, for which he is
again the favorite, after which he will
try for the Prix de la Vitesse, the final
of which will be contested on Sunday.

Hook-Worm Disease, and Warns
Against Excessive Use Of Thymol.

Against Excessive Use Of Thymol.
Washington, Aug. 23.-"First get rid
of the parasite causing the hook.
worm disease, then direct attention to
treating the patient afflicted with the
malady."
This is the advice given to physi.
clans and others for the treatment oil
the so-ealled "lazy' disease by DR.
Charles Wardell Stiles, chief of the
division of zoology. hygienic labora-
tory, public health and marine hospi-
tai service, in the issue of the bulletin
of that service. He shows the mistake
OF first treating the patient and after.
wards the parasite.
For several years DR.. Stiles has de.
roted practically all of his attention
20 investigating the hook-worm dis
,ase, particularly as affecting the
Iouthern states, where it was found
to be quite prevalent. He ascertained
that the disease produced anemia in
those so affected. causing an inability
to perform any kind Of work and re
sulting in many instances in a SLOW
death.
Showing that although the "hook
worm" disease may occur in person
in any walk of life, DR.. Shiles declare
that 1t is particularly among the
poorer classes that it occurs and that
the average "hook-worm" patient car.
not afford to lose several days wage
to undergo treatment. 1t Is, therefore.
he says, frequently expedient to con
duct the treatment Saturday evening
and Sunday morning.
Notwithstanding that primarily we
are to treat the parasite, not the pa
TENT says DIR. Stiles, 1T should be
remembered that if too great a guam
tity of thymol is absorbed by the pa
tient and the patients family should
be carefully warned not to permit the
patient under any circumstances -

treatment is given any food or drink
containing alcohol, fats or oil. Patent
medicines should be mentioned in par

DR.. Stiles then cites a case of seri-
u thymol poisoning following the TAX.
