.OvILIA MAN
STOPS BURIAL
JAMES AMBER REscUEs BODY OF
YOUNG WOMAN FROM POT
TIERS FIELD.

Des Moines, Sept. 17.-The love of
James Amber, farmer, Lovilia, Ia, for
pretty Nettie Amber, girl he had
raised from childhood, prevented her
body from being buried in potter's
field in Glendale cemetery. She died
of typhoid fever.
The body was taken from the grave
a few minutes after attendants had
lowered the casket, clothed in a new
and more beautiful death shroud.
gently laid in handsome coffin and
taken to Lovilia where it was buried
in the family lot.
A modest tombstone will mark the
grave before snow flies, commemorate
ing a woman's sad death in poverty
and the love of man for the poor
girl he had raised from childhood.
Amber is a prosperous farmer and
years ago the little girl came into the
life of himself and wife from an
orphans home. No one knew her
name or parents, but she was given
good care and when she was married
at II, was started with a well furnish
ed home by her friend and benefactor.
Later she went to Missouri but sep
arated from her first husband who
kept the child and went to Mime
apolis. There she met John Orr, and
Amber again came to her aid and fur
nished her with money to secure a
divorce from her first husband. She
married Orr and they lived together
and had one child. They came to
Des Moines and were living on Des
Moines street in poverty when she
was attacked by typhoid fever. Taken
to Mercy hospital she died.
Husband Penniless.
Her husband, being without money,
the body was prepared for burial in
the potters field by McDermott, the
undertaken, at the county's expense.
The grave was prepared and the body
removed to the cemetery and about
to be lowered into the grave, when
Amber, who had been notified by
telephone, arrived on the scene and
took charge. Although the woman
was not his daughter, he directed
Undertaken Gray to take charge of the
body and placing it in handsome
casket, took it to his home in Lovilia
where it was buried in the family
cemetery. Mr.. Amber said: "She
was not our daughter, and we did not
adopt her, but we cared for her when

profession, but we have had too many
lawyers legislating on legal procedure.
They have been prone to think liti-

intestines it maintains itself there
for years. The liability to reinfec-
ton is very great. If the worms
are once removed. however, the
patient proceeds to get better, pro-
vided, of course the blood degenera-
ton consequent upon daily losses
for years and the patients general
condition permit of refrigeration.
A simple antiseptic thymbol kills
the worms most effectually and then
they are swept out of the digestive
tract by the use Of some such pur-
gative as salts. This treatment may
have to be repeated several times so
as to effectnally eradicate all of the
worms, but in the milder cases it
practically works a miracle. In a
very short time the patients are new
men and above all, the children lose
their pallor and lack-luster look
and become energetic individuals.
What is needed, then, is spread
of the knowledge Of how the para
site gains entrance, first thru the
digestive tract of those who are care
less with regard to cleanliness in
eating and drinking, and secondly
thru the skin of those who 60 bare
footed and fail to wash their feet
and hands regularly. None Of these
precautions are difficult to secure,
even in populations that are quite
uneducated, and all that is needed
is a definite crusade of information
and encouragement, and we shall
soon be rid of one of the serious
paralyzing factors in the life of the
Southern people. 1t will probably
mean as much or more for the
door whites of the South than
would the foundation of several
universities. It is a great bit of
philanthropy properly directed and
we'll applied.

intestines to another but always
leaving a little bleeding spot from
which, for time, at least, blood,
oozes, it is scarcely to be expected
that The victum will have much
energy for anything in life.
In spite of the definite tendency
OF the worm to become diffused, as
is demonstrated by the history we
have given, it is a comparatively
easy parasite to deal with. We have
a different form Of it in this coun-
try to that which is described in the
Old World, ours being at least once
and half as long and probab bly,,
therefore, more serious in effect.
but experience has shown that the
parasite can be eradicated rather
easily. 1t used to be thot that it
found its way into the human in
testines thru the digestive tract
alone. The habits Of workers in
tunnels and mines make it rather
easy for the eggs Of the parasites in
their intestines to be transferred to
their co, workers thru food and wat
err. Not long ago it was shown,
however, by Loos, that the para
sites might be Matched from the egg
outside the body and that the en-
bryo worms then attach themselves
to the skin, gradually bore thru it,
find their way into the veins, are
carried to the lungs thru the right
side of the heart, from here they
escape from the pulmonary vessels
into the air spaces, pass up the
bronchi and trachea to the pharynx
and then are swallowed with the
food and find Judgement in the up
per part of the small intestines.
This is such a remarkable migra-
ton that only that it is confirmed
by the observations of another dis
tinguished expert, Claudinn, it
would be almost incredible.
There is no doubt now that many
hitherto inexplicabIe skin diseases
Of tropical regions and of miners
and tunnel workers must be ex-
planned by the presence of this
parasite on its way thru the skin.
Allen Smith has suggested that the
so-called "ground-itch" of the
tropics and Haldane thinks that the
curious skin eruption called the
punches" in Cornish miners are
produced by the worm in the skin.
Once the worm finds it's way to the

the HookwoRM
Habits and Damage of this Parasite
Means to Eradicate

The American occupation of
Porto Rico led to the discovery that
so-called tropical anemia, supposed
so often to be due to a combination
of the EMBELLISHMENTS of the eli
mate and the effect of past NAL
aria, was really due to the presence
of minute parasites. These were
the so-called hookworms, fa miliar
enough in certain parts Of Europe
and in Egypt, but supposed to be
non existence in this country. The
knowledge of the disease gained
from Porto Rico soon enabled Am
erican experts to recognize the
presence Of the same parasite in
our Southern States. and to the
utter surprise Of Southern physi-
Clans it was found that their worst
anemias were due to this cause.
Some idea of the ravages that can
he worked by apparently 80 trivial
an agent the hookworm is only
from one fourth to about one half
an inch in length-may be gathered
from the fact that in Porto Rico in
1903, in total of %, 500 deaths,
over 100 were from anemia and
practically all of these the conse-
quence Of the presence of the hook
worm in the intpstlnes of the
patients. The farther the investi-
cations have been made in the
South the greater has been found to
he the extent Of territory over which
the worm exists and als, the great
er number Of patients affected by it.
The worm does not occur above the
Potomac to any extent, for it finds
the Southern climate much more
suitable to it, so that it fourishes
hest only in tropical and subtropic-
al regions. 1t has done much to
injure vitality at the South, and
has been not only the cause Of
many deaths, but has been product
i've of an apathy and a lack of
ambition in great many people.
It is no wonder that this should be
SO, for when thousands of little
worms are fastened to the intestinal
walls, sucking the very life blood of
the patient, and occasionally mi
