THE HOOK-wORM DISEASE.

Conservation of national vitality is in
line with the general policy of conserva-
ton which is so generally attracting the
attention of the country at the present
time. John D. Rockefeller. the Standard
Oil magnato. has emphasized one phase
of this struggle to preserve our nations
vitality by giving 100000 with which to
wage war on the hook-worm. and it is to
be taken for granted that in the course
OF time other influences which are sap
ping the life Of our people as 4 whole viii
be alta cked and counteracted.
The hook worm disease which has thus
been made conspicuous is somewhat un-
though according to DIR. c. ". stiles OF tie
public health and marine hospital service
the discoverer OF the misunderstanding
agent in connection with certain physical
characteristics prevalent particularly in
the South. the hook-worm disease was
probably known to- the Egyptians nearly
~
was not known until about the middle OF
the 18th century.
According to the bulletin issued ly the
committee Of one hundred on national
health and conservation of our national
vitality, the prevalence OF the hook worm
disease in the South has been a matter Of
investigation for several years, and it is
now possible to make definite statements
concerning It, The disease is remarkable
not so much for its fatality, though that
| is large. as for the chronic incapacity for
| work which it produces. This symptom
has resulted in the application of the
nickname of germ of laziness" to the
microbe producing the disease. The dis
ease Is prevalent all over the South and
| 1t is now held responsible for large part
of both the sickness and the poverty OF
the poor white trash"
Even where the hook worm disease does
not result In death 1t produces disastrous
results and Is frequently the precursor OF
tuberculosis. Pronounced anemia Is the
chief symptom of the disease, accompan-
led by cancellation and great physical
weakness. Laziness, mental lassitude
and stupidity are other symptoms. IN

disease. It may affect any class of pa

sons and a way Of evading such re-
strictions. owing In no small degree
to the lack Of uniformity Of laws on
the subject in different states.
The protection OF the home is plain
w one Of the great issues of the day
Since we recognize the home as one
OF the chief factors In our civilization
II follows that the wiping out OF evils
threatening that institution is imper-
alive. The Roman Catholic Church
and the Protestant Episcopal churches
have done wonderful work in the
direction of the protection of AM
erican homes, but the growth Of
divorce in the tnitde States in
spite of these Influences has be-
come so alarming that the move
ment for uniform Legislation among
all the states as regards marriage and
divorce should be pressed ut once to
contamination.

THE PROTECTION OF THE HOME.

The recent announcement OF divorce
proceedings in New York city involv-
ing the ancient house of Aston has
served to emphasize the alarming ex-
tent to which the homes OF the -Four
Hundred" have been invaded during
the past few years by the divorce mi
:robe. Mrs. W. X. Vanderbilt secured
n divorce and married the late O. II. T..
Belmont, while her husband also re-
married. Her daughter, the Duchess Of
Marlborough separated from her hus-
band few years ago, and now it IL
stated that w. *. Vanderbilt, Jr.. is as
good az separated from his wife. Some
ces and marriages following with
| startling rapidity, until II must both
er some of Gotham's leading people to
know at which house to stop and just
what their relations arc. Other cities
and other States also present a start
ling as well as pathetic spectacle in
connection with the divorce courts.

| lection OF the family has just issued
an important report dealing with the
subject Of marriage and divorce In the

MANUFACTURING n VERMONT.

We reprint in another column an In
tercsting article from the pen OF Edi-
tor II. l.. TIindley Of the Rutland Her
aid, which is word picture OF the
manufact curing development VI one par
ticul,r section OF Vermont. 1t is in
and of itself splendid refutation OF
the frequent assertion that there is
no need Of trying to secure indus
tries FOR Vermont, because we are so
far north
Vermont has long led In the produc-
ton Of certain agricultural tools and
implements. and the big industry
which is being built up at Windsor
through TIE energy Of Mr.. Maxwell
Evarts. and the various mnnufa cturcd
products for which Springfield is just
ly celebrated, prove conclusively that
it is still possible to conduct success
full manufacturing industries in the
Green Mountain state.
Vermont is exempt from many OF
the labor troubles which so handicap
operations in the larger centers OF
population and industrial develop
ment, and this consideration alone
naturally appeals strongly to those
about to embark in new manufacture
ing enterprises. Vermont is indebted
to Mr.. f,varts and to every other pro-
gressive spirit that shows the posi-
bilities Of building up the States
manufacturing interests. and we con-
graduate Windsor aud springfield on
their gratifying outlook as industrial
centers.

IHE TAXATION ISSUE WITH Us
STILL.

The conspicuous differences of the
In different towns in Vermont and the
Inequalities of taxation growing out
OF the unequal distribution of the
burden still constitute live issue In
Vermont, and will continue TO do so
until rich and poor high and low. are
put on the same basis OF taxation.
The Rutland News. which has been
an ardent advocate Of taxation re-
form. prints the following:
1.-THE taxation Issue In Cleveland
Ohio. might properly be applied to
Rutland and Vermont-''unjust i'm
position and distribution of taxes"
The Townsman OF Cleveland states
the issue thus: The laborer's cottage
paying more than its share, and the
boulevard mansion paying less than
.ts share The little grocery store
paying all 1t can stand and the houae
Of big business and the public service
corporations paying little or none. All
the other evils OF our political system

ed with tho evil of unjust taxation

We all know that inequalities OF
taxation exist in Vermont as we'll as
elsewhere We also know that II the
law were strictly enforced in every
town in the state. those inequalities
would largely disappear. 1t Is not
necessary to call on the Legislature
for further legislation until we en-
force the laws already on the Vermont
statute books.

MANUAL TRAINING IN PUBLIC
SCHOOLS
(From the Windsor Journai)

(From the Windsor Journai)
It. has never dawned upon the rank
and file OF society that we are living in
an axe that Is fast approachin that
great Utopia called Socialism But
what instance is more proof positive
than the existence OF the public schoolsr
The distribution OF learning was never
so wide as 1t is to-day-almost anyone
who has application can acquire the
mastery of any subject.
Almost unconsciously during the past
80 years the management OF the public
schools has drifted away from what it
WAS originally intended should be pro-
mot ~i--pra cticablity.
II has often been remarked as lament
able that children should go through
hieh school only to face the world with
an imperfect knowledge Of many things
and when one examines the curricula
Of studies in the average public schools
II Is no wonder that the graduates are
compelled 70 forget In a great measure
what they have learned and begin all
over when they start an Apprenticeship

standard Of efficiency In the public

As result Of the sanguinary develop
nents of the past week it is safe to say
chat the deer issue will be freely discussed
during the next few days as it should be,
II the public Is to be educated Alright in
preparation for the next authoritative
"wisdom and virtue" of Vermont Some
sportsmen hold that it will take years
for Vermont to recover the ground lost
through the wholesale slaughter Of does
during the past week. and this considera-
Non will inevitably operate IN the next
Legislature
Times makes pertinent suggestion. 1t
says that "A peculiar feature of the deer
situation is the posting against trespa IS
Of large tracts OF land by the farmers.
The argument has been that 1t was the
farmers who wanted the deer eX-
terminated and yet when the opportunity
comes hundreds have posted their lands.
Evidently not all the farmers consider
the deer a nuisance which should be wiped
out with slaughter and bloodshed"
1t remains to be seen what the verdict
of nimrods themselves az a whole will be.
We suspect the situation will be shaped
very largely by the extent to which deer
have been extermnated and how scarce
the game becomes in subsequent years as
a result. Unfortunately or fortunately, as
the case may be, the Legislature will
meet before the next open season will be
allowed to pass.

part of these property owners to en-
courage the building of this line, and,
unless we mistake the temper Of YER
monters. they are disposed to do
everything reasonable in the way of
granting rights OF way necessary to
the extension of electric railways"
The Granville. N. Y, correspondent
of the News is quoted as saying:
at Is eminently the accepted time
to boom the building of that proposed
trolley road from Castleton to Poult-
ney and Granville. The y. & II. Rail-
road company has discontinued the
morning train and our people cannot
go anywhere and get back the same
day. You ought to hear the travelling
men grumble. Really n road to Poult

Investment"
There are other sections Of the
State which would unquestiona bly, be
benefited TO n marked degree by the
provision OF electric transportation
facilities, which are peculiarly adapted
to territory in which steam transpor-
tation could not be made to pay.
Electric roads help to develop a com
munity immea surably, and Vermont
should adopt every legitimate means
to encourage the extensions Of exist
ing lines as we'll as to secure the con-
