Curative Value of Funny Stories.

Having vainly tried many and

who had fallen into a morbid condi-

famous Baltimore physician at last
persuaded his patient to take n
coures of funny stories. one at each
meal, and an extra two at dinner.
The patient, a solemn and gloomy
fellow. at first rebelled, but finally.
falling in with the idea. adopted the
course recommended. and was in the
end restored to health, the effect
OF laughter being entirely to change
his mental and bodily condition.

Broadguaging the
Marshall Pass Line.

The Salida Record says that rumors
have been flying around thick and
fast during the past three months
about he probability of the Rio Grande
standard guaging their line over Mar
shall pass. 1t is well known fact
that all new bridges and ties put in for
several years past have been standard
guage, showing that the company even =
ually expected to make this change,
but the time for the change had never
been announced until this winter. Ma
terial has been scattered along the way,
So say trainmen, and some time back
work train was busy hauling dirt
above Poncha to fill in on a new road
bed. But the latest thing is the report
from reliable source that the officials
have confided in a well known citizen
of that section that engineers were even
now at work surveying for two tun-
nels-one at Marshall Pass and another
at Cerro Summit That the new road
thus Strengthened and shortened would
be used for through passenger traffic
because it will be between so and 70
miles shorter, while all freight ship
ments will come over Tennessee Pass
This report comes from a man who is
in direct touch with the official and un-
less plans are changed there will be a
standard guage track from Salida to
Grand Junction before another winter.

also offered to pay the S1.50 fee, but
Park stopped her and drew out thick

THE HOOK WORN
IN MISSISSIPPI
Prevails to the Extent That Agrees
i've Campaign Against Is Thought
to Be Necessary.

Special to The Netos.
Jackson, Miss, June 21.-The hook
worm disease is widely prevalent in
Mississippi, and is matter of suffi
cient seriousness to warrant an ag
gressive campaign for its extermina
ton, is the declaration of DR.. w. S
feathers, director of field work for
the state board OF health, who is
heading the campaign of education on
sanitation and hygiene recently
launched by that organization.
DR.. feathers states that tests re-
Gently made at the University of Mis-
sissippi showed that forty per cent OF
the students in that institution were
infested with hook worms, and test
of three hundred students at Missis-
sippi College showed that sixty per
cent of them had the disease.
THE hook worm is not a joke, al
though many persons try to regard
it as SUCH" says DIR. feathers. "Ex-
aminations will show that fully three
fourths of the negro population is in
fected with the disease, and as it is
one Of the most easily preventable
msladies, the campaign of extermina-
ton is thought to meet with every pos
sible encouragement.
Our Investigations have been
shown conclusively that the hook
worm is more prevalent in the South
ern section of Mississippi, where the
soil Is sandy, than in the prairie sec
lions where the soil is chiefly clay
formation"
DR.. feathers has returned from a
short trip to the Mississippi coast,
where he succeeded in enlisting the
active support and cooperation Of the
medical fraternity of that section for
the campaign Of education on santa
ton and hygiene. The board of
health and its field agents have
leaunched their campaign in an ag
gressive and business-like manner
and there are manifestations of gen
eral awakening in all parts Of the
state to the importance of the work

plished fact, but lent an active hand
to the accomplishment. This makes
it doubly imperative that the Confer
ence should present full weight of
Christian sentiment effectually voiced,
to overcome the natural and usually
commendable indisposition of govern
ments to NEEDLE"
The Commission heads the list of
its findings with an expression OF graz
itude for the large amount of mutual
helpfulness found to exist between so
many missions and governments. Con
corning the right of entry for Chris
tian Missions the report says:
'Inasmuch as the result of mission
airy enterprises are now so evident
and have extended over so long a pc
Rod that their general beneficent eff
feet is demonstrated, We think that it
may reasonably be asked of all Chris
tian governments that they should

where such admission is not now
granted; and further, that such inter
position may be justified to the gov
eminent. not on grounds of religion,
but upon the broad ground of human
ity on account of the benefcient influ-
ence of Missions, and upon the com
mon right of mankind to receive such
benefits"
The reoprt. continues: 'In view Of
the enormous influence exercised by
Christian nations over races Of less
developed civilization and lower ma
terial power, we would express the
earnest hope that growing sense Of
responsibility for the right use of this
influence may control the actions Of
both governments and individuals;
and in particular we would express
our conviction that where territories

peopled by such races are under the
rule of Christian Powers, the prime
duty of such Powers Is the education
and development of these races.
Evidently having been laid before
us that in many countries-occasion-
ally even in countries under the con-
troll of. European Preventative
Christians lie under disabilities both
in regard to the exercise of their re-
ligion and in regard to their civil
status. we would emphasize the fact
that Christian teaching inculcates re-
spect for the civil authorities of their
own land as the duty Of Christians,
and would affirm the reasonableness
of granting to Christians all the pro-
lection, rights and privileges Of loyal
and law-abiding citizens. We would
further urge that Christian Powers
should not only adopt this rule of &C.
ton in all countries under their direct
control or subject to their political in
fluence but should also make friendly
representations on the subject to such
other Powers as have not removed
these disabilities.
While fully recognizing the duty
and right of the civil authorities of
every country to lay such temporary
restrictions and conditions on the
movements and settlement both of
their own nationality and of foreigners
within and across their borders, as are
demanded in the interest of internal
order and international peace, we
think 1t well to record our Judgment
that 1t is not wise for the civil power
to allocate areas Of work to different
Missions. unless in conference with
and with the concurrence Of the Mis-
sions concerned.
1--WE recommend to the Conference
that it take steps for the appointment
of a committee, composed in part Of
international jurists Of reputation, to
draw up a br1ef statement OF recOg-
nized principles which underlie the
relations of Missions to Governments,
which statement, after having re-
ceived the endorsement of the leading
Missionary Societies or a representa-
tive Board Of Missions, may be pub
lished for the information both of mis-
sionaries and Of government officials
who may be in contact with mission
