THEY HAVE HOOK WORM
'J.azy Bug Is Prevalent Among Re-
Cruits From the South.

Washington, July 2O.-The hook
worm or lazy bug" as it has been
shown to exist in the southern states,
according to investigation of the phys

form an interesting chapter in the
forthcoming report of the surgeon
general of the army and probably will
lead to a widespread effort on the part
of the boards of health in the south
ern states to eradicate this disease
which 4 few years ago was brought
prominently to the attention of the
world in connection with the Porto
Ricans. When the hook worm re-
ferred to in the medical world as I'M
cinariasis, was declared to be preVa-
lent in Porto Rico, resulting in a ten

full and thorough methods that have
been adopted in the United States
army, both in the selection of recruits
and in the care of men after their en-

to exist to a large extent.
This investigation has been pro-
crossing quietly during the last six or
seven months, so that when Surgeon
General Torney makes up his annual
report he will have much data to
prove the prevalence of the hook
worm among soldiers enlisted from

the number of one hundred and forty,
one hundred and nine of them being
infected with the parasite. West Vir-
ginia, Virginia, North Carolina, Geor-

all supplied recruits that were infect

largely prevalent, in only two in
stances in this series of investigations
was the condition sufficiently severe to
cause their rejection. After being

ONLY THE DREGS VOTE
Former Colorado Governor Deals
Hard Blow to Woman Suffrage.

New York, July 20.-"Oniy the
dregs Of womankind vote in Colorado;
the mothers have to be practically
dubbed to the polls.
Power was not intended for wo-
man; influence is moro subtle, and IL
Is a WoInanrs greatest force. When
woman seeks power It is a great cal
amity not only for her but for the
men as well.
MY wife and daughter shun poll
tics, as do the majority of the women
in Colorado. believe that women
want the vote without the respon-
sibility which the privilege entails,
and I agree that the franchise should
be granted them, but do not think
that the vote is good for them, nor
they for politics.
Such was the opinion expressed by
the Rev Dr. Henry A. Buchtel, for
mer governor of Colorado, one of the
four states in which women have the
right to vote. DR.. Buchtel came here
to preach in Calvary Methodist Epis-
copaI church.
Continuing. the former governor
said:
