Condensed Facts About
The HOOkWOrG77 Parasite

The hookwOrm is a tiny little para
site infesting the intestine of human
beings. mostly children.
There are other kinds of hook
worms that infest cattle, dogs. seals,
elephants. etc
But only the human hOOkwOTm is
known to infeSt human beings. The
largest of these worms is about three
quarters of an inch long.
They look something like bits Of
sewing thread cut up in short
lengths.
They deposit eggs in the intestine
which is passed in the stools.
The eggs now hatch in damp earth.
producing a tiny worm
This little worm is called the lar
vac.
It is the larvae which furnishes the
starting point for the next case Of
hOOkWOTmS-
It has two ways of getting into the
human intestine
One is through the mouth, being
taken in with raw food and dirty
hands.

They say there's less wild running
of automobiles through the city streets
since the board of safety, without say
ing it in that many words, put it up
to the marshal to make'the auto men
keep down to the speed limit. This is
well. At the same time, there is
large chunk of truth in the cOmmuni-
cation, printed not over two or three
days back on this page Of The Journal,
from a citizen who, a careful operator
himself, declares there are many PEG
pie driving carriages who do not know
how to turn out on country roads. He
tells about some close calls from col
IisiOns he has but recently had with
drivers who persisted in going to the
left when they should have gone to
the right Just So The driver of al
auto ought, as a general rule, to be
more careful; but there are others IN
supposedly miIder and less dangerous
turnOuts who should look where they
are going All over this world. even
in Uncjvilized countries, the rule OF
tho road" that each must favor the
other and turn to the right" is univer- /

Best Way to Combat
The Egg Combine.

It has renamed for a Georgia Con
gresham, Mr.. Edwards, TO bring to
the attention Of Congress and likewise
to the attention of the secretary of
the department of commerce and labor
the monopoly in the supply Of eggs
which. in the estimation of most peo-
pie who have to 90 down into their
jeans for fancy prices for hen fruit, is
virtually an egg trust
Prompted by a Savannah dealer and
by other Georgia people who thought
81 ID cents an outrageous figure for
Western packed eggs at Christmas
time, he has protested to the proper
Congressional committee and he has
also taken the consumers griev-
ance to Secretary NageI, claiming in
defense of the latter step that the egg
combine should be turned over to the
interstate commerce commission for
regulation of its shipments.
Nj NaIIonee. the Savannahan who
has urged Congressman Edwards's &C
ton, talked about the effort to have
Congress pass a bill making it a crime
TO keep eggs stored from 80 to so days
He said:
In my opinion Congress should
pass a bill making it unlawful for
any concern 10 keep eggs on storage
longer than from thirty to sixtv days
Storage eggs should not be Supplied
if they have been kept longer. BY q
system of checking the companies
dealing in eggs should be made to
give accurate information as to when
eggs were put in storage. and the date
of their removal should be noted. Let
the customer know what he is getting. /
When eggs are selling for low
prices the trust gets busy and makes /
immense purchases. This naturally .
lessons the supply. and then prices /
go Un. Eggs that have been in stOr-
age all summer are being sold at fabu- /.
Ious prices this season. I don't think
many people relish the idea Of getting
eggs laid in April for their holiday
cakes" +
But Mr.. NaIIonee. who seems to /
have sized up the egg situation in
about all its phases. is more to the
point. at least so far as his state and
Florida and alabama are concerned. .
wen he adds: !
~Ir is a good idea to raise moro I
poultry and thus fight tho trust by !
making the supply large enough to I
.,Euce the cost But il appears 20
me- that tho egg trust could Just as
easily get control Of larger supply.

The Withdrawal of
Hon. w. A. Blount.

The withdrawal of Hon. w. 4
Blount from the race for the United
States senatorship, as announced in
The Journal yesterday morning, SIM
! pIifles the contest somewhat, although
the situation still remains a cOmpIi-
/ Gated one.
In reading the reasons which Mr.
| BlOunt gives for his withdrawal, every
one must be struck with the frank
candid, and altogether unusual tone in
which he states and discusses them.
And this is all the more striking TO
those VINO happen to know, as The
Journal knows, of the widespread and
unexpected assurances of support
which the eminent Pensacolian had re-
ceived within the past six weeks.
There will be some, no doubt,
whose conception of public duty and
patriotic motive is limited by a narrow
intellect and a still narrower spirit,
who viii say that Mr.. Blount, finding
his election improbable, gave the Tea-
sons which he states as the easiest
method of getting out of a losing fight
But those who may think that do not
know the man As q matter of fact,
no man in the race had, at this stage.
a better prospect for success than Mr.
BlCUnt, and as another matter of fact
the reasons which he gives for with
drawing constitute in themselves the
most effective evidence that they are
honest reasons honestly stated. 1t is.
the very frankness and candOT of the
man-UnusUaI under such circum-
stances-that puts the stamp of sin
cerity on his announcement.
Florida contains no citizen whose
ability would be felt to greater effect
in the United States senate than Mr..
Blount. and at the same time there IS
not man in the state who, by tenn
permanent, training, and inclination, Is
less fitted to make a personal appeal
for support than is W A BlOunt A
giant in intellect. strong in conviction.
and sure Of purpose, he can support
the personal or political ambitions OF
a friend with energy and effect, but
when if comes TO question of appeal /
ing for himself he has yet to learn the !
first lesson in. the undertaking. This
fact. coupled with a physical inability +.
To prosecute a continued campaign
an inability which he discovered only .
