were 1900 deaths from hookworm
disease
After six years of vigorous work,
the death rate has fallen from AZ to
Fl per 900, and less than 1000 Porto
Ricans die each year from hookworm.
And the campaign has only begun.
I'VE found that these sick men
could only average 80 per cent Of the
amount of work healthy men could ac-
complish." says Dr.. Ashford. Thus
we found the worm responsible for
much OF the islands poverty.
The density of population, 264 per
square mile. and the muddy soil
shaded by coffee bushes, were the two
principal reasons why hookworm was
So fatal. The eggs of the parasite
Matched in the warm, moist loan and
the larvae penetrated the bare feet
of the laborers, largely Spanish
whites.
The cure of 100000 out Of a total
of million population convinced the
Porto Ricans that hook worm was one
of their principal obstacles to indus
trial success and social betterment
The people. at first afraid of the trea,-
ment, now aid dispensary work IN
every way possible.

The government will publish Dr.
Ashford's extensive work on hookworm
disease
The fight against nookworm dis
ease is but one phase of the campaign
for better health in Porto Rico.
In the five years preceding 1909
5000 Porto Ricans died of smallpox
and GOO of yellow fever. Fatal cpl
denies of both were frequent.
Today there is not case of small

In swell apartment at King-ave.

Arthur arrived In due time and with
him came a friend hailing from Wind

Beau Brummel of the party and 1t
wasn't long before he had installed
himself in a comfortable niche In the
heart OF Title, the tireless hired girl.
All this was to the exclusion Of Wal

OF considerable chagrin. especially on
the part OF Wallace, who remarked
that 1t was fine way to requite his
hospitality or words TO that effect
Through the evening, Title had re-
called her callers with several liba-
tons from the family decanter, which
indulgence served only TO increase the
vehemence with which Walter OBJ
jected to the attentions that We're be-
ing showered upon the youth from
across the river.
Things came 10 such a pass that
Walter began to congest the atmos-
phere with nouns, adjectives and
verbs, all having general reference
to the Windsor gentleman
The noise reached such proportions
that the girl decided her callers would
have more advantages out i'm the
street. so she dismissed them. The
quarrel had reached fever heat. when

Blight Already Lifted in Porto Rico
and determination Is Matter of
Few Years.
BY ROBERT 2. WILSON.

WASHINGTON, ID. G., Nov. 25.--
Hookworm, the parasite scourge OF the
south, blamed for much OF It's poverty
today, is To be wiped out within a few
years, in the opinion OF DR.. Bailey X.
Ashford, u. S. A., surgeon in Porto
Rico.
Dr.. Ashford is one of the two Ameri.
can pioneers in the treatment of hook
worm disease, the other being Dr.
Walter, w. King. OF Savannah, Ga,
member Of the United States public
health and marine hospital service.
Working separately by experiments,
DR.. Ashford and DR.. King each ar.
rived at the conclusion that hookworm
disease was contracted by the para
site larvae entering the victim
through the skin. They found this out
by experimenting upon themselves.
DR.. Ashford put the deadly hookworm
eggs on his hand and, through a mi
croscope, saw the newly Matched
larvae wriggle through his pores into
his blood
Up To- 10 years ago hookworm dis
ease was not recognized. Among the

anemia. The victims grew paler and
paler, and if they did not die they re-

malady SO elusive that they we're put

fornothings.
Once the disease was recognized, a
cure was speedily worked out. Five
doses of ThVmOl a dangerous drug

chronic case to health, strength and
energy.

FORDYCE TO BE
 COUNTY SEAT

Little Rock, Ark, Nov. 26.-The state supreme court held the closing session of the May term this morn ing, and disposed of a number of mo- tions, petitions for rehearing, etc., pending from various dates during the term. All cases in which peti- tions for rehearing were pending and which the court had been unable to reach were disposed of by temporar- fly suspending previous judgments. The November term of the court be- gins Monday.
 Important among the decisions of the court was the refusal to grant a rehearing in the case of o. c. Walsh vs. c. N. Hampton, ct al., from Dal- las county, involving the removal of the county courthouse from Prince ton to Fordyce. The refusal to re- fusal to rshear settles the case. so far as the state courts are ccHcern- ed in favor of Fordyce.

GOVERNMENT TO
 SPEND MILLIONS Government Agent Arrives at Hot Springs to Make
 Inspection.
TO BE MADE PALATIAL
Bath House Row to Be Made The Most Attractive in the Whole
 World.

Hot Springs, Nov. 26.-The plans of the interior department to make Hot Springs health resort with the most palatial bath houses in all the world was evidenced today by the ar rival of Erskine M. Sunderland, spe- cial engineering architect for the government, to make the necessary surveys and plans for the new free bath house to be built on the reserva- tion.
 The amount which is to be expend- ed in constructiong this rev bathing house is left largely to the discret- ion of the architect, and whether it will cost $250,000 Or $1 100000 will not be determined until MT. Sunderland has made a study of the situation. One thing is certain-the new free bath house will be by far the finest of anything now in this country, if not in the world.
 The arrival of MT. Sunderland re- calls the fact that the government has already outlined plans for the re- modelling or complete rebuilding of most of the private bath houses in Hot Springs. Some time ago it was announced that many of the bath houses would be compelled to build better buildings and furnish better ac- commodations and there is general activity among the owners to get in line with the proposed rejuvenation of the bathing facilities.
 The Maurice and Rammelsberg bath houses have both outlined plans for new more commodious and modern structures, and others will probably follow suit. Some of tho best bath houses of Hot Springs will find 1t necessary under the new reg ime to make additions and improve ments to conform to this new policy of the government.
 If the present plans are followed out Bath House Row in Hot Springs will present to the visitor the finest buildings and the most modernly equipped bath houses of any water ing resort in the world.

PRESIDENT TALKS
 OVER HIS MESSAGE

Washington, D. C., Nov. 26.-Presi- dent Taft had protracted meeting with his cabinet, sscussing his forth coming message to Congress and some of the judiciary appointments to be made. The appointments may go over until the second week of the session. Their submission rests wholly with the President, who will not send them until after the message has been read The impression is growing that Charles E. Hughes will be nap' ed as chief justice of the supreme court.
 Who will fill the two vacant asso- ciate judgeships on the supreme bench probably will remain secret until the names are actually sent to the senate.
