The gross fees Of the two courts
between January / and December
l 1908, aggregated $13,70S. M. But
ler's idea, according to the comptrol-
Ter, was to consolidate the gross fees
of the circuit and the district courts
of each of which he is clerk, to de-
duct therefrom the total expenses OF
both offices and from the remainder
retain his maximum personal compen-
sation of $500 in each of the courts.
The department of justice disallowed
his claim and the comptroller sus-

Ter contended that so far as expenses
of the two courts were concerned he
was holding but one office and that
was "his Office and that he had the
legal right to deduct the expenses at
his pleasure, for his personal gain,
from the combined emoluments before
figuring his personal pay based on the

FIGHT LAZY BUG"
ARMY SURGEONS DISCOVER SOURCE
OF INCIDENCE.
Experts Declare That to Prevalence Of
Hook Worm I'm Southern Statcs
h Dne Lazy Dis
poNiffOna.

Washington. July 2o.--rhe hook
worm. or lazy bug as 1t has been
shown to exist in the Southern States.
according to Investigations Of the
physical condition of army recruits.
will form an interesting chapter In the
forthcoming report of the Surgeon Gen.
eral of the army and probably will lead.
to a widespread effort on the part of
the boards of health in the Southern
States to eradicate this disease, which
a few years ago was brought promi-
nently to the attention of the world
in connection with the Porto Ricans.
When the hook work, referred to In
the medical world as uncinartasis. was
declared to prevail In Porto Rico, re-
sulting in tendency to incidence on
the part of the patient, who otherwise
appeared in usual health, there was no
suggestion that this peculiar parasite
infected people in the United States.
Through the very careful and thor
ough methods that have been adopted
in the United States Army, both in the
selection of recruits. and in the care
of men after their enlistment. this dis
ease has been shown to exist to q
large extent
This investigation has been progress
ing quietly during the last six or seven
months, so that when Surgean General
Torney makes up his annual report he
will have much data to prove the pre-
valence of the hook worm among SOL
diers enlisted from the Southern States
These recruits, passing through the
army depot at Fort Slocum, N. Y.
were examined to the number of 140,
100 of them being infected with the
parasite. West Virginia, North Car
olina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida,
Alabama and Tennessee all supplied re-
cruits that were infected. While the
hook worm was so largely prevalent in
only two instances in this series of in
vestigations wa sthe anemia sufficient
ly severe to cause their rejection. AZ
ter being treated, all of the infected
soldiers gained in weight and improved
in physical condition generally.
Following this investigation of re-
cruits II was discovered that uncinar-
iasis was a common disease throughout
the Southern States.
It is estimated by army surgeons
| that so per cent. of the recruits in
the army today from the rural districts
of North Carolina. South Carolina,
Georgia, Florida, Mississippi. Alabama
and Louisiana will show hook worm in
lection.
Recruits from Southern States who
have been in the army several years
| tion OF the disease. This Is partly &C.
counted for nthe theory that the
| regular life and nourishing food to-
gether with daily enforced exercises,
| often result in recovery from the in
| lection.
| 1t has been estimated that the cam
paign waged by the army against the
hook worm in Porto Rico resulted in
saving more than 5000 lives annually.
| The Surgeon General may suggest the
possibility of instituting some cam
paign against the disease in the South.
| but under present conditions it is said
but little can be done except through
the agency of State governments.

as there is little revenue derived from
negro taxpayers. this would cut the

1t is most unfortunate that through
