The hookworm is monopolizing, at
present, as much attention as the
Cook-Peary and Jackson-Je Jeffries con-
troversies. Some of the Southern
brethren are quite indigant at Mr..
Rockefeller for his donation to fight
the monster, but then it doesn't take
much to make them indignant and
nobody gets excited when the south
ern brethren get on rampage But
if the danger from the worm is as

For an Afro-American to get justice
from the courts of the South in any
case in which he is opposed to a

in that section. That the poor man
and the rich one do not stand on the

all over the world, but in the South

Proceeding in southerly direction
from the torso, we have the hips, use
full for padding, and the legs. The
legs hold up the body and are some
times used in walking, but when rid
ing in automobiles they take up valu-
able space which otherwise might be
employed to better advantage.
Attached to the legs are the feet.
Some varieties Of feet are cold. Some
people are born with cold feet, others
acquire cold feet, and still others have
cold feet thrust upon them.
The surface Of the body is covered
with cuticle, which either hangs in
graceful loops or is stretched tightly
from bone to bone.
On the face it is known as complex
ion and is, used extensively for COM
mercial purposes by dermatologlsts
painters and decorators.
Between the cuticle and the bones
are the muscles, which hold the bones
together and prevent them from fall

One of the Evils We Acquire With
Our Civilization.
It is a ruism that no one ever heard
Of snoring savage. In fact, if the
wild man Of the woods and plains does
not sleep quietly he runs the risk Of
being discovered by his enemy, and
the scalp Of the snorer would soon
adorn the belt Of his crafty and more
quietly sleeping adversary. With civ
ilization, however, we have changed
all this. The impure air Of our sleep
ing rooms induces all manner Of ca
tarrhal affections. The nasal passages
are the first to become affected. In
stead Of warming the inspired air on
its way to the lungs and removing
from it the dangerous impurities with
which it is loaded the nose becomes
obsructed. 4 part Of the air enters
and escapes by the mouth. The veil
Of the palate vibrates between the two
currents-that through the mouth and
the one still passing through the par
TALLY closed nostrils-like a torn sail
In the wind The snore, then, means
that the sleeper's mouth is partially
open, that bis nose is partially closed
and that his lungs are in danger from
the air not being properly warmed
and purified. From the continued op-
GRAFTON Of these causes the increase
of impure air In sleeping rooms and

has predicted that in the future all
men (and all women, too) will snore.

Rats, Cold Weather Retreat.

Many animals snuggle together for

rels and the rats. Those who go rat
ting in hedges and dells in the winter
know they may try a dozen freshly
used burrows without finding a rat,
when suddenly from single hole the
rats will come pouring out in stream
Of frenzjed fur. Twenty or more rats
will lie together in one hole.
They are clever enough to block up
q hole on the windward side to keep
out the draft, so that when rat hole
Is noted newly stopped with soil, tur-
nip leaves or grass here is almost GER
tain indication that rats are within.
Like the squirrels, they store food for

more difficult to secure his potatoes
from frost than from the attack of the
