THEPR|CE OF IGNORANCE
Neglect Of the Health Laws Cost
100000 Lives Annually.
HOOK WORM IN THE SOUTH
Bill Advocating Creation Of a National Depart.
ment Of Health Causes Warm Debate
in Upper House Of Congress.

Washington, D. Chat six hun
dred thousand lives are sacrificed an
nually on the altar of this country S
ignorance and neglect Of sanitary and
health laws, was asserted by Senator
Owen in the course Of speech in
the senate in support Of his bill Gre
ating department Of health with a
cabinet officer at it's head.
Mr.. Owens address was based on
the theory that the various health
agencies of the government should
be consolidated. He said that while
President Taft had not committed
himself absolutely on the subject,
he was confident he was in sympathy
with the movement.
He declared that with proper at
tentiOn to the prevention of contag.
ion and to the protection of the peo-
pie against the use of polluted water
and impure and adulterated food, nu
man life could be greatly extended
and with all the safeguards applied
the average might be increased to the
extent of tWenty-Seven years within
the century
In addition to the six hundred
thousand cases of fatal illness an
nually, Mr.. Owen asserted that an
average Of three million OF people
were constantly sick in this country
with preventable diseases.
A statement by Mr. Owen concern
ing the prevalence of the hook worm
in the south aroused much interest
He said he had been informed by az
expert that 80 per cent of the chill
dren of one of the southern states
were afflicted with the disease
81 don't care who the expert is,
| remarked Mr.. Mooney of Mississippi
II don't believe a word he says"
Senator Johnson of Alabama also
took exception to the statement
Mr.. Owen having asserted that hool
worm could be cured by two doses
of thymol at a cost OF rs cents, Sen
ator Helburn suggested that there
was $1,0OO,O00 now on tap for the
eradication Of the hook worm.
Mr.. Gallinger thought since it haC
become known that there was 81
much money available for chasing the
mysterious hook worm there would
be a corresponding increase in the
disease.
In conclusion Mr. Owen spoke O
the prevalence Of malaria in OklahO
ma He declared that every schoo
teacher should be armed with a pam

of poisonous flies and mosquitoes.
Replying to the Oklahoma senator
Mr.. Gallinger expressed the opinion
that the government should go SLOW
in establishing department o
health. He thought the public health
and marine hospital service and tn,
health departments Of the various
states were doing reasonably well. A
for the contention that the period O
life could be materially heightened
he regarded it "a dream, pure ant

the witnesses declared that many OF
the animals in Africa easily could be
raised in this country.

ADVICE TO FARMERS
Spring Agricultural Work for
Southern Planters Outlined.
THINGS TO Do This MONTH
Among Other Important Things Farmers Are
Urged to Join Corn Clubs and to Encourage
Their Children to Raise Chickens.

Raleigh, N. C.-The Progressive
Farmer and Gazette published here
advises southern farmers to do the
following things this month.
1. See that the seed bed for all
crops is not merely well broken but
thoroughly pulverzed by narrowing
and disking An ounce of preparation
may be worth pound of cultivation.
2. Get ready with weeders and har-
rows to kill the grass before 1t comes
up Don't be afraid of hurting the
stand This will not happen.
3. Place orders for all improved
blows, harrows, weeders, cultlvators,
and otner labor-saving tools and ma
chinery. Get ready to make your
crop with cheap horse labor instead
of expensive hand labor.
4. Don't waste tipe and sweat on
scrub seed or scrub stock this year.
Improved varieties will pay as well
with field crops as with garden crops.
5. Get ready to share win the
western farmer his golden nood OF
profits in raising hogs and cattle. Flrt
of all get an improved breed, ana
then arrange to feed economically
With proper pasture crops both pork
and beef can be made more cheaply
in the south than in the west.
G. OF the over $50,0O00O0 spent in
the south for fertilizers each year at
least S1O,O0O,000 is wasted through
ignorance of crop needs and SOIL
needs Try to stop your part OF TINS
colossal loss.
7. Join in the great contrasting
revival now sweeping over the south.
The biggest corn, crops the world has
known have been made in the south,
and we are just waking up to the fact
that Dixie can beat the corn belt IL
self raising this king of cereals.
s. Don't. forget the garden, and
don't make your wife do all the work
in it. Remember, vegetables are
cheaper than meat and more health
full.
8. We cannot have good fruit now
without spraying. A good spray pump
will often pay for itself the first year
in the orchard and potato patch.
10. Dray the roads after every rain.
The split-log drag is the cheapest
good roads maker ever invented
II. Paint the farm house ana
whitewash the outbuildings that you
do not care to paint. 1t will pay you
simply in your increased sense OF
pride and dignity,
u. Get your boy to join the Boys
! Corn club movement with an acre OF
corn, and give your girl flock OF
pure bred chickens And be sure to
| let each one have the money he or
she makes from this allotment.

VOLCANO Is ACTIVE.
Mount Aetna, in Sicily, Is Belching Flood OF
Red-H0t Lava.

Red-H0t Lava.
Catania, SiclIy.-A red-hot river or
lava, one thousand two hundred feet
wide and twenty-four feet high, swept
down the slopes of Mount Aetna, de-
stroying all life in it's path and turn
ing the fertile country into scene
of desolation. Fully five thousand
are homeless, their homes destroyed
or menaced by the sweep OF the lava.
In twenty-four hours 1t advanced
six miles, and half dozen villages
and settlements have been wiped out
Of existence or abandoned and thous-
ands of acres of cultivated land turn
ed into a smoking waste covered with
the molten mass that pOurs from
dozen craters.
The constant rumblings which have
marked the eruption since 1t started
have increased in volume and the
earthquakes become more frequent.
The ground is in almost constant
tremble. More than seventy distinct
shocks have been recorded.
Troops are rushing to the threaten
ed towns to quell the panic and aid
in saving the helpless.
Reports received here stated that
eight soldiers had been killed at San
Reno and Remazzi and that scores OF
inhabitants were injured in those
towns when the lava reached them
after they had been bOmbarded by
rocks from the volcano. The village
of Nidolo is burned under mass OF
lava Borello threatened with a
,, similar fate-a matter Of a few hours,
was evacuated Casa del BoscO has
been wiped off the map. Nicolisi, pro-
! tected by hills, is felt to be safe and
thousands OF refugees have concen-
| trated there, but Del PasSo is doom
ed Grassi is in the path OF the lava
river and it was seen that Aderno,
another of the towns on the southern
slope of the mountain could be saw
ed only by quick stop in the flow.
The devasting stream is headed
straight for Catania, and this city OF
one hundred and fifty thousand in
habitants, now the second town OF
Sicily and one of the foremost OF
southern Italy, is threatened with the
fate of Pompeii.
A pail of smoke covers the eastern
part of Sicily and extends far out tC
sea. In the darkness the shooting
flames of the volcano, geysers Of fire
were visible plainly for many miles
In spite of the grave danger, tour
lists, many Of them Americans, are
docking to the slopes of the mountain
in attempts to scale the heights. The
authorities, however, have established
a dead line and no one is allowed tC
pass Del Passo.
Although the observatory on the
mountain has been destroyed, Profes
sor Ricco, its chief, is continuing his
observations. He reiterated his dec
laration that, in his opinion, the erup
ton had but begun.
