The WORLDS WORK for May contains ex-
haustive article on the lazy bug or hookworm-so
prevalent in the South At the Pan American ALL
American) Sanitary Congress of 1902 DR.. Charles
Wardell Stiles Chief of the Division of Zoology of
the United States Public Health and Marine Hospi-
tai Service announced his discovery of a human
parasite-new to America-called the hookworm-
bug about one-half of an inch long and OF the
thickness of hairpin At first the medical profes.
sion laughed him out of court'-but since then he
has proved the correctness of his contentious
Hookworms are indigenous chiefly to sandy
soil in the South and work through the bottoms of
the feet finally lodging in the membranes of the in
testines where they live and thrive until passed out
of the system-but crops constantly taking
the place of those dispeed. The feeding of these
hookworms enervates the body and causes laziness
DIR. Stiles says there are more than two million
persons in the South affected by these lazy bugs
Experiments have demonstrated that cleanliness and
the taking of Epson salts and <hymo will eradicate
the lazy bug or hookworm from any ones system.
The Atlanta Constitution, of the leading
newspapers of the South, recently said in part:
"The hookworm is not a bit spectacular: it
Doesn't get itself discussed in legislative halls or
furiousy debated in political campaigns. Modest
and unassuning it does not aspire to such dignity.

like two hundred thousand persons in Georgia and
all other Southern states in proportion; with ~
amassing death-rate higher than tuberculosis,
pneumonia or typhoid fever; with 81 stubbornly
and quite eectualy retarding ths agricultural and
industrial development of the section; with ~
multiplying the benefit of thousands of dollars spent
upon education with Isl costing the South in the
course of few decades several hundred millions OF
dollars More serious and closer at hand than the
tariff; more COSTLY threatening and tangible than
the Negro problem; making the menace OF the boil
weevif laughable in comparison-it is prominently
the problem of the South.
The hookworm or lazy bug is not confined to
the South by any means bat is found in every part
of this country and in all sections of Europe, Africa
and Asia. Those affected by the hookworm provide
most of their food for feeding these bugs-thus
ing lassitude and laziness
Effective measures are being taken to starve out
the pest Dr. Stiles suggests that physicians every
where throughout the world ought to take particular
pains upon discovering evidence of symptoms of the
prevalence of hookworms in patient to prescribe
EPSON salts and thymol which he has found to bt
most eficacious remedy in of that character
Therefore let the slogan be: The lazy buf

Mr.. JOSEPH PULITZER owner OF the New YORK
World, said to his staff number of years ago:
There are no indispensables on this paper" When
a man or woman thinks he or she is indispensable,
his or her usefulness ceases right there.
The following poem by Elise p. Clifford is
worthy of place in connection with the idea ex-
pressed:
sTis said in the adage that Life is a stage,
Where each in his turn plays part
For one tits tragedy mellow with age.
For another, q child of the heart.
Ave. friend we are all in the cast of the play,
And our lives are the lives that we live,
And our conscience the prompter by night and
by day,
The reward is the pleasure we give.
Not always the fool wears the cap and the bells
To show you how droll is his part,
For often the laughter that on his lips dwells
Is an echo of grief from his heart.
Play on! Do not ring down the curtain in tears
Speak up and speak out from your soul.
Give voice to your courage with your fears!
To know is the ultimate goal.
When Fate calls your exit-your epilogue said,
And the lights and the music are gone,
You'll find live puppet is cast for the dead;
The play must forever 60 on.
A greater truth was never uttered: You'll
find a. live puppet is cast for the dead--the play
must forever 60 on
There are no indispensables!

CHARITY DEMANDS
THAT SOMETHING
Be Done NOW
CITIZENS WILL BE ASKED TO
HELP A WIDOW IL
DISTRESS.

There's a little cottage in the heart
of Tonopah where a drama of life is
being enacted which cannot fail to
arouse the sympathy of him in whose
breast there beats human heart.
Bending over a wash tub from
early morn till late at night a frail
widow works beside the bedside of
gray-haired mother whose aged
limbs ache with the pains and pangs
of rheumatism. A wee tot of a
child plays at the feet of her who
gave her birth-the same one whose
hands are rough with the toll of
years-oblivious to the miseries that
sorrow and pain bestow upon the
many and not upon the few.
IT'S a scene from the stage of life
and has been going on for nearly two
years. Mrs. Fred Dixon, whom death
robbed her of him who had taken
her to honor and protect, widow,
is toiling through the day to keep
the wolf from the door. The woman
in the bed is her mother, who has
lain there for two years suffering
with rheumatism. The child is the
daughter of the widow.
But humanity cries out that some
thing must be done. Friends have
taken it upon themselves to help the
widow and her aged mother. These
friends will ask their friends to hell
and it is likely that before many
more days pass the old mother will
be on her way to sanitarium in this
or some other state where she will
be given treatment in the hopes tina
medical skill will be able to relieve
her terrible suffering.
Yesterday quite a little sum wa
collected from those charitably in
clined and today the paper will b.
taken over the town for additiona
contributions. The money givel
for such a worthy cause will neve
be missed. Those who contribute
will unquestionably reap abundantl
and those who can should certainl
come forward and help the widow i
distress.

SHIPMENT Of
$4,000 FROM The
MONT.-SHOSHONE

The Montgomery-Shosh mine
with it's commendable regularity
made a shipment of bullion last week
and another one will be sent out this
week. The two shipments aggre-
gate 1850 ounces having a valua-
ton of about $4,000. Although
there were one or two little stop
pages during the present month the
output will be very nearly up to the
average. Generally everything is
progressing in the usual steady man
ner.
In the early part of next month
visit of the president of the COM
pany, E. S. Bernheim, accompanied
by others interested, will be made to
the mine, and probably to the keane
Wonder and Pioneer sections.
Because of recent delays repairs
have been planned for the water pipe
system. Five thousand feet of new
pipe arrived this week and will be
put into place as rapidly as possible.
The old pipe, much of which has
been in use for long time, is badly
rusted out.
PIONEER LEASE DECLARES
FIRST DIVIDEND
The most important matter in con-
nection with the Pioneer lease during
the week has been the conclusion
practically arrived at to declare a
dividend. While no official announce,
ment is yet made it is understood
that dividend of 5. cents per share
will be paid probably on July 18th
to goth. This will also carry with II
a stock dividend of one share OF
stock of the parent company, the
Pioneer Bullfrog Mining company, tC
the holder of each ten shares of Pho
seer Leasing stock. AS the stock Of
the parent company is now quoted al
upwards of 80 cents per share, this
would make the combined dividend
equivalent to cents per share. The
leasing company has an option upo1
100000 shares of the parent com
pany at 61a cents, which stock will
be taken up and distributed as par
of the dividend.

SECRETARY GIVENS
IS Meeting WITH
GRAND SUCCESS
SECRETARY. OWENS Is PLEASED
WITH RECEPTION GIVEN

Il am indeed pleased with the re-
ception the mining men of Tonopah

ed" was the repfy of James c..

Mining congress, to a Bonanza rep
resentative when asked If his visit
to this camp was bearing fruit.
The people here are alive to the
opportunities the congress affords
them" said he in addition, Il have
secured the names of some of your
most prominent operators as dele
gates to the congress, and their
presence will have a most statutory
effect upon this camp. At the pres
ent time | have seven delegates prom
ised and before | am through | feel
sure that the number will be swelled
to twenty or twenty-five.
lone thing has struck me most
forceful in this camp. Wherever
have been, l have not received one
complaint concerning conditions in
this camp. Quite to the contrary
the people are seemingly we'll salts
fed. From what / can see they have
no reason to feel otherwise. Tono.
pah is certainly one of the most sub
stantial localities l have seen for a
long time. In addition to the mines
which are among the best in the min
ing world, the town is distributing
center for a large territory.
Let me revert to the mining con
gress. Every day MAKES it more ap
parent that the forthcoming meeting
will be a grand success. From what
| am able to CLEAN it will be the
largest attended meeting in the his
tory of the organization. Goldfielt
made a brilliant fight to secure the
congress and it was helped a grea
deal by the fact that this countr!
was such prolific producer. Man!
of the delegates to the last meeting
were intent on coming to this sec
ton of the state of Nevada and con
sequently stood in with the booster
for Goldfield.

the next few days after which | will
take in other sections of the state il
the interests of the congress. Whel

people to boost for the success of tn

We are so accustomed to having
things ''out of season." and especially
to the cutting and storing of ice for

In the summer of 1900 party of
surveyors was working through the
state of Arkansas, surveying and 10
eating the Midland Valley road. One
day the surveying corps stopped at
farmhouse and shouted for the farmer
The Arkansan came out, and the
surveyors asked him II they could get
drink.
Certainly, boys" he said. I'll give
you the best I've got, and the best I've
got is buttermilk.'
THAT will be fine." the surveyors
said. and the old farmer gave each of
the gang a glass of buttermilk
ITS mighty good" said one of the
surveyors to McI,oud.
Yes, indeed" McLoud replied, but
It would be better il we had some ice
to put in it."
Turning to the farmer. McLoud
said, Have you any ice?"
