AFTER The LAZYWORM.
Georgia Professors Blame 1t for Poor
Showing of Football Team.

Athens. Ga, Oct. 21.-The prevalence
of the hookworm, which certain scien-
fists have ascribed as the cause OF
laziness among the students of the
University of Georgia, is causing the
faculty alarm and campaign has been
determined upon to eradicate the para
site.
DR.. ]. C. Bloomfield, president Of the
city board of health, has been exaniin-
ing the students at the reqGe;t Of the
faculty, and ne reports that at least 30
per cent are suffering from the hook
worm. Many examined, Dr. Bloomfield
states, are members of wealthy fant-
lies, which, in his opinion, discredits
the belief that the disease is prevalent
only among the poorer classes.
Some afflicted with the hookworm are
members of the university football
team. and the physicians say the hook
worm undoubtedly is responsible for
the poor showing the team is making,
as one effect of the parasite is extreme
physical sluggishness.
Since DR.. Bloomfleld's report the fac
ulty has been looking into the class
standing of those afflicted, and in every
case it is lower than those free from
the hoe kWOrm.

BLAMES THE POETS.
Prof. Thomas Blames Them as Well as
Historians for Distorting History.

Chicago, Oct 21.-Prof. w. I. Thomas
of the University of Chicago aired a
long felt grievance yesterday against
poets and historians for distorting facts
of history.
Historians as a class have shown a
disposition to hand down erroneous i'm
pressions to the people, and efforts Of
scholars to correct the false facts have
proved unavailing," said Prof. Thomas,
in a lecture at the university.

Pinckney in the revolutionary days,

Pinckney was once asked in private

Cough in the Bud

To let cold or cough wear itself
OUT is both needless and dangerous. If
you will take five minutes and make
up the simple remedy described below,
you can wipe out cold or cough as
soon as it appears. Even deep-seated
coughs yield to it very quickly. A whole
pint of it costs only "a cents, but there
is no better remedy at any price.
Take pint of GRADUATED Sugar. add
u pint of warm water and stir for 2
minutes Put 21z ouces of Pinex IN a
pint bottle and fill up with the Sugar
Syrup. This keeps perfectly and lasts
family a long time. Take teaspoon
full every one two or three hours. The
taste is pleasing.
Use the ingredients as given here.
Granulated sugar makes the best
syrup. None of the weaker pine p-caa-
rations will take the place of tho real
Pinex itself, which is the most valuable
concentrated compound of Norway
White Pine Extract. Your druggist has
1t or can easily order it for you.
This mixture is also excellent for
whooplng cough. bronchitis. chest
pains, etc.
Strained honey can be used instead of
the syrup, and makes a very fine honey
and pine tar cough syrup.
