THE LAZY BUG
EXISTS In SOUTH
NOTED HOOK WORM" is FOUND
SOUTH OF MASON AND DIX
ON'S LINE.

| WASHINGTON, July 21.-The hook
worm, or lazy bug as it has been
shown 10 exist in the southern states
according to the Investigations of the
physical condition of army recruits
sill form an interesting chapter in
theJfoltn-coming 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
southern states to eradicate this dis
ease, which a few years ago was
brought prominently to the attention
of the world in connection with the
Porto Ricans.
When the hook worm, referred to
in the medical world as uncinariasis,
was declared to be prevalent in Porto
Rico, resulting in tendency TO in
dolence on the part of the patient,
who otherwise appeared in usual
health, there was no suggestion that
this unusual parasite infected people
in the United States. Through the
very careful 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 enlistment, this disease has been
shown to exist to large extent.

TWO PELLAGRA
PATIENTS FOUND
DREAD DISEASE REPORTED FROM
EAST TENNESSEE HEALTH
AUTHORITIES vEXE0.

NASHVILLE. Tenn, July 22-The
pellagra problem has again presented
itself for solution when a communi-
cation from DR.. James l. Henerman OF
JelIico. Campbell county, informed the
state Board OF Health that there are
two cases in that section Of the state.
The doubt of the existence OF the
disease in Tennessee has all been
cleared away BY the unanimous dag
nosis of many physicians. How TO treat
the malady and how to deal with the
patients under the health regulations
are now questions that yex the medi'
cal fraternity and the health author
titles.
There is a persistent belief among a
majority OF the doctors who have
studied palagra that it is neither con-
tageous nor infectious and for this
reason it would be folly to quarantine
those who become afflicted with it. In
the face of this comes the history OF
the diseases spread at the Baptist
Orphans Home in West Nashville.
Beginning with four cases from one
family of children from Newport,
Cooke county, it progressed for four
years at the orphanage until there had
been seventeen cases, while in the /
other institutions of the state there
has been found no signs of the dis
ease.

still more suffering among the hun
dreds OF children who participated
in the formation of the living flag.
So oppressive did it become that the
plan calling for this feature in the
procession was abandoned.
At least 90 children and 20 old
soldiers were taken from the street,
many of the victims, young and old,
recovering as soon as they were plac-
ed in the shade. Those treated at
the emergency stations numbered 45,
. of them grand army men and 80
children. There were no fatalities.
Hottest of Hottest Days.
Three relief stations attended by
trained nurses insured prompt and
capable aid for all sufferers. The
hours of the parade were the hottest
of the hottest day since the begin
ming of the encampment. AT II
O'Clock, when the column got under
way, the weather bureau thermomet-
er registered 50 degrees.
Notwithstanding the discomfort,
the parade was a great success. The
> 900 and more old soldiers, walking
four abreast, had the complete right
of way. Fully 100000 persons saw,
or tried to see the spectacle.
