FALSE HAIR N RKET IS
 SUFFERING A FAMINE

Paris. Dec. 2a-False hair. locally known as "chichi'. is almost totally lacking. dealers say. and soon ''hair famine" will be in full swring in France. It is said to be the result of so much hair being sent to Amer ica- Bri eny girls. Arlesions and so on. who sold their hair at the begin ming of the "chichi" craze are still short-locked and can therefore no longer supply the ever increasing de- mand. Coiffeurs declare a new style will be the result and it is predicted that the powdered heads of long ago will come back.

Best Recine for a Real Home

What are the three essentials or a
homer
An assembly OF 500 woman comprising
the Social economic club Of Chicago dis
cussed this question for half a day, and
reached no conclusion.
One woman said the three essentials
are a good temper, a good mother, and
charge OF the finances This raised a de-
bate. Others said the man and wife are
Joint sovereigns. and that each should
have an appropriation of the family
money. 'E:B
One .timidly urged that the man Is the
head of the house. Another suggested
that a good husband Is at least one OF
the essentials. None Of the women paid
much attention to this suggestion. Either
they left the husband out of their cal
culations or took him for granted.
A minister who happened In was asked
for his opinion. He said, "A man, wo-
man and a cook stove."
And these women applauded, not think
ing, doubtless, that man, woman ana
cook stove may constitute dive as
well as q home.
A husband who came to take his wife
horne volunteered this: "A man who
provides, a woman who attends to her
own business, and supper on time.
This was Missed, though in real SUD
stance II is the same as the minister
applauded answer.
FINALLY the youngest woman present
ventured: "a man, a woman ana
baby"
This comes much nearer the true es-
sentials, though there are good homes
without babies. The baby may not yet
have come to the coy nest that mas
I.been softly lined for 1t with love. The
baby may have gone, leaving the heart
strings of the man and woman knitted
together more securely in common grler
and sympathy. The baby and other pa
bies may be growing up, and In every
day of growing making the home more
truly home. The babies may have homes
and babies of their own-but where Is
there in all the world a home like the
serene home of grandpa and grandma?
It's old floor is polished by many hur-
rying feet. It's old walls are decorated
with thousand treasured finger marks.
Its atmosphere is sweet with million
tender memories.
The true answer to the question is a
simple one.
Narrowed down to three essentials. the
true ingredients of a real home are
these:
A man and wife and love.

HOOK WORM, SCOURGE OF
SOUTHLAND, is DOOMED
Deadly Blight Already Lifted
Z in Porto Rico, and Its Exter-
mination Is But Matter of
Few Years
BY RoBT. F. WILsoN.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Hookworm, the
parasite scourge Of the south. blamed for
| much of its poverty today, is to be wiped
out within a few years. in the opinion
| of DR.. Bailey K. Ashford, u. s. A., sur
geon in Porto Rico. s. ~
DIR. Ashford is one Of the two Arneri-
can pioneers in the treatment OF hook
| worm disease, the other being DIR. Walter
w. King, of Savannah, Ga, member Of
the United States public health and ma
| rine hospital service.
Working separately by experiments
DR.. Ashford and DR.. King each arrived
at the conclusion that hookworm disease
was contracted by the parasite larvae en-
tering the victim through the skin They
found this out by experimenting upon
themselves. DIR. Ashford put the deadly
hookworm eggs on his hand and, through
microscope, saw the newly Matched
larvae wriggle through his pores into. his
blood
Up to ten years ago hookworm disease
was not recognized. Among the clay eat
ers of the south doctors diagnosed the at
| f1ictions as profound anemia- The vic
TINS grew pale and paler, and IL they did
not die they remained helpless invalids,
| held by a malady so elusive that they
were put down by the energetic as lazy
| good-for-nothings.
Once the disease was recognised a cure
was speedily worked out. Five doses OF
thymol, dangerous drug unless admin
istered by physician, is usually enough
| to restore the most chronic case to health.
| strength and energy.
AT the time Of the American occupa-
ton 1t was estimated that the work ca
pacity OF Porto Rico was reduced so per
| cent by hoowkorm. In 1900 there were
l2OoO deaths from hookworm disease.
After six years of vigorous work, the
| death rate has fallen from AZ to p Der
1000, and, less than 1000 Porto. Ricans
die each year from hookworm. And the
| camaign has only begun.
We found that these sick men could
only average SO per cent of the amount
or work healthy men could accomplish, !"
says DR.. Ashford. Thus, we found the
worm responsible for much of the is
lands poverty.
THE density of population, 264 per
square mile, and the muddy soil, shaded
by the coffee bushes, were the two prin-
cipal reasons why hookworm was so ia
tai. The eggs OF the parasite Matched
