The Ma tional Federation approves the bin drawn by the Washington society and will do all in its power to secure it's enactment.
 The Russell Sage Foundation has appointed the writer agent to study the remedial loan societies. The ulti- mate object is. by cooperation with the Executive Committee of the Ma tional Federation. to push forward the loan movement into all sections of the country The activity and the grow ing interests manifested by editorials and articles now running in the lead ing magazines and newspapers is sig nificaRt. It means that inevitably the people at large will learn the facts concerning the business of money lending; the usurer will become more and more unpopular; men of wealth with the welfare of the people at heart will follow the example set in many cities and provide opportunities for the needy to borrow without mortgag- ing his body and soul to the greedy money lender.

 Though more expensive. the very best way to fry fish is in olive oil; the next best way is in bacon fat.
 A vhisk broom enclosed in a bag of cheese cloth is unequalled for clean ing the corners of uncarpeted steps.
 Hatpins should never be left in a wet hat, but should be taken out and ruooeo perfectly dry to prevent rust ing.

 For many years. every Democratic success in Bridgeport elections has been closely followed. first. by the chArgp that the. city is ''wide open" which is designed to evoke pulpit thunders"; second. by the appearance Of divers and sundry so-called reform organisations with high-sounding ti- tIes and beneficent claims. each gem eraily "a sheep without. a wolf with in; thfrd by the clamor of ringing tho changes upon these themes.
 Tt may be that this Taxpayers League is of the real reform type; present appearances and promises do SO indicate But in the past, such or ganisations have eventually become mere adtuncts to the Republican ma chine. This league may be of sterner mould than It's predecessors. and may be able to stand successfully against the Republican policy of 'sRule or ruin"

Rockefeller's donation of 100000 to

what heretofore has been an isolated and

decades has been sapping the strength
of the souths yeomanry, will now be an
organized warfare against the necator

Insanitary conditions on the farms, re-

show, have much to do with the continue

The disease is more prevalent In negroes

Only within the last year or two has 1t

Gift of Mr.. Rockefeller
Pleasing to Officials

There is no question that the announce
.nent of the Rockefeller gift was received
with delight by Surgeon General Wyman
and all other officers and employees OF
the public health and marine hospital
service, since it was one of them, Prof.
Charles Wardell Stiles, who discovered
the prevalence of the American variety Of
the hoOkWOrm i'll the south, and was first
to attribute to ii the so-called laziness
due to anemia, so prevalent in that Sec
ton.
Surgeon General Wyman said today he
was very happy that at last an earnest
organized effort was to be made to Grad
icate the hookworm disease. He SAID it
was evident from the correspondence that
mad passed between Mr. Rockefeller ana
the commission that campaign of edu-
cation was to be undertaken which, Mr.
Wyman thinks, will be of great behefir
If there is harmony in the work between
the state and local authorities
The idea of d campaign of education
on very broad Scaie has been in our
minds for some time said Surgeon Cen
erdl Nymdn today, but under existing
law we have no authority and no funds
for the purpose, although we pay consid-
cradle attention to ii and confer with the
state boards of health and others regard
ing the disease. If the matter is arranged
In manner to bring together the differ
work we believe it will be productive OF
d great amount of good"
How Statement Was Greeted.
1t is recalled that when DR.. Stiles first
announced, seven or eight years ago, the
existence of d germ of laZiness," there
was a lot of good-natured chaff directed
at him, together with some, not so good
natured, from his colleagues in the med
zeal fraternity. Some of these physicians
had practiced all their lives in the south
and were apparently more willing to
clOthe the southern cracker the poor
white trash of the south, with all the sins
in the decalogue rather than to concede
generally diseased condition among the
class. But DIR. Stiles pursuit of his own
studies, together with the Endorsement of
his opinions by other bacteriologists of
note who had taken up the subject soon
convinced the medical fraternity of the
existence of the American hook worm and
the seriousness of the conditions caused
by its ravageS.
DIR. Stiles, undoubtedly will be called
upon to take an active part i'm the direc-
ton of the work under the million dollar
fund.

Falls Dead at Pimlico Races.

BALTIMORE. October 29.-While at
tend ng the races yesterday afternoon at
Pimlico Albert Levy, fifty years old, pro-
prietor Of the Independent Beef Com
pany, S97 North Howard street, died sud
denly from heart failure and was later
taken to his home. Mr.. Levy went to
the races yesterday with several friends
and on the way out was apparently in
the best Of spirits. After the last race
he was seen to totter and Mr.. P. A.
Bland, who was close at hand, caught him
in his arms, where he expired. Mag s.
trate Bevan of Arlington pronounced the
cause of Mr. Levy's death to be heart
failure. He was known to be subject to
these attacks and has suffered several
times from the same Illness. Besides his
widow Mrs. Hannah Levy. he is survived
by five sons, Messrs Ely, Samuel. Milton
Julius and Harry Levy: one stepson. Ru-
dolph Benesch; daughter. Miss Rosie
Levy, and one brother. Morris Levy.

What the Hookworm Is:

The "hookworm,' according to New
York medical authorities, is hairlike
parasite to which is charged form of
anemia prevalent especially among the
poor people of the south. 1t was no
until recent years that members of the
medical profession recognized that a para
site caused the nalady.
In December, 1902, Ir. Charles Wardell
Stiles. then a zoolo2ist in the bureau of
animal industry at Washington, who had
been studying intest nal paras sites. an
nOunced to the Pan-American sanitary
congress his conviction that the so-called
.'laziness and ''shiftlessness widely OBJ
served in certain portions of the south
was a specific disease, due to the hook
worm
Many members of the congress ex-
pressed surprise at the announcement
and up to the present the disease has
been Il matter of some controversy.
