The Hookw0rm Dlseas se.

Hookworm disease is a conii-
tion brought about by the pres
ence of a small worm in the bow
els. which holds fast by it's head
and draws blood for it's nourish-
ment, and injects a poison into
the system, which gives rise to
headaches, nervousness, dizziness
paleness, weakness, drowzinpss,
and q general dwarfed condition
both mentally and physically.
Hookworn disease is foynd
South OF the Potomac and Ohio
Rivers for the reason that it is
too cold in the north and too dry
and cold IN the west. In the south
we have plenty of moisture and
warmth and infected individuals
to cause the disease to spread.
Last year 600 college students
were examined for hook worm
disease, with the result that 33h
per cent. were found to- be infec.
ted. These students represented
four of our best state colleges
and the majority ofourcounties.
Last week many of soldiers
in camp at Chicamauga were sx-
amlned, with the result 80 per
cent were found to be infected
with the hookworm dieease.
This parasite does does not
multiply IN the stomach, but
does lay eggs in same which es-
capes with the excreta and in
from fye to nine days they de-
velop into injecting embryos.
These embryos do not develop
any more until they enter t h 9
skin OF an individual, when they
give rise to q condition known
as "ground itch" "cQw itch," or
"dew poison" this being frs t
symptoms OF Infection.
The embryo g make.their way
from this point through our
lymph and blood circulation to
our lungs, and then to our throat
when they are swallowed go to
our bowels and develop into al.
ult worms. This takes about six
weeks.
The treatment is simple and
effective.
The disease is both durable and
preventable. Preventably by US.

A startling Truth,
The Troy Montgomerian.

StArtling Irutn,
The Troy Montgomerian.
That there is a great national
conflict at present going on be-.
tween the two great forces of this
nation, capital and labor, is not
to be denied.
1t crops out spasmodically in
different sections of the country
and threatens more to become
general.
1t is now momentous, and may
become in the near future, dlsas-
trous. The present generation
has no remembrance of the ter.
rors and devastation caused by
the war of 81, and the ranks OF
those who do remember all it's
horrors, it's destruction, it's wan.
tonness. it's heartaches, the ruin
caused. the blood spilled are
growing smaller and smaller
yenr by year, Hence, the people
OF this age may not hesitate to
rise in their might and tear from
the money interests, that which
of right belongs to themselves,
the police power of the nation.
We recently read a statement
made by Jonathan Bourne, Jr.,
United States Senator from Ore.
gon, and published in Golfers
Weekly, which expresses t h g
whole thought in one terse sen.
tence. We quote: "Like the ivy
covering a great tree, plutocracy
is choking the very life out OF
our boated constitutional gov
ernment."
Inspired words were these,
words pregnant with warning of
danger to come.
Under our present form ofgov.
ernment, 1t seems futile for any.
one, no mat ter how much he may
desire or how high in power he
may be, to try to reach those
who are termed the malefactors
of great wealth. The Interstate
Commerce Commission tried and
tailed, and even the ruler of this
great nation tried and failed.
The people know the cause of
their Wrougs and the personel OF
thegrent interestarrayed against
them, and by instinct they know
the only method ofcscaping from
tyranny.
1t is patient and long suffering
race, hearing silently burdens un.
der which the people OF other
nations have been trodden under
foot, until their patience became
exhausted, and they rose their
great anger, crushed the tryant
and resumed again their power,
History records many instances
OF these upsprings, there is no
use to enumerate them, every
school boy know them. The rec
ord of their atrocities and the
enormous crimes committed IS
a foul blot upon the fair page OF
the worlds history and wisdom
must teach those in power to 40
ameliorate conditions that his
tory will not repeat itself in this
twentieth century.

The TwiuklIng Of a Star.

The twinklin2 OF a star has nev
er been explained to the satlsfac-
tion of all investigators, but it's
generally to he due to controlling
causes within the earth's atmos-
phere. That the cause may be
looked for within the earth's at.
mosphere. That the cause may
be looked for within the belt OF
air that surrounds our plannet
Ito particles OF vapor, dust, etc }
may be inferred from the fact
that the planets never exhibit
the characteristic twinklinS so
noticeable in the star. One rpa =
son for this is the size (apparant)
of plants, each OF which shows a
sensible disk, even to the naked
eye, while the strongest instru-
ment in the word only shows the
stars as being mere points of
light. This being the case any
foreign substance in the atmos.
phere would momentarily hide
the light and make the star ap.

Before the Congressional inves
tigating committee Senator Gore
has testified that Jacob Ham.
mon, formerly national commit
teeman from Oklahoma, offered
him $25,00O if he would with.
draw his opposition to the Nc.
Murray indian lands contracts.
Representative Creager. OF Okla
homa, has testified that to him
also Harmon made corrupt O.
ventures to the same end.
To their testimony has been
added that Of D. Z. McCurtain, q
Choctaw Indian and delegate to
Washington for the tribe, who
charges that d. F. McMurray,
the Oklahoma attorney, in 1906
offered HIM $25, 900 if he would
not oppose McMurray's con-
tracts with the Indians. His ia
ther, Green MrCurtain, principal
chief OF the Choctaws. has told
the committee how George W.
Scott, who he believed was act.
ing in McMurray's behalf, offered
him one-fourth of the profits
from the present McMurray con
tracts II he would withdraw his
protest against them.
The Choctaw and Chicasaw In.
dians own $50, 900 acres OF coal,
asphalt and timber lands, for
which a syndicate is said to be
willing to pay $50, 100000. Pre-
sumably they are worth much
more. McMurray has secured a..
bout 10000 individual contracts
with Indians, allowing HIM 10
percent commission on the sale
of the lands. His fees would am.
cunt to 100000. He is play
ing for a big stake, and appar.
emily, from the presence OF inhu-
ential attorneys or lobbyists in
Washington he has not lacked
assistance.
The Indians need pay no fees
to any attorney to sell t h ir
lands, The government is their
rightful agent IN any sale and it
can b" trusted to safeguard their
interests. President Roosevelt
disap!rovcd @ previous lot of
McMurray's contracts with the
Indians. President Taft, accord
ing to Senator Curtis, of Kan
sas, who on April / by request
called at the white house with
Vice President Sherman, former
ly chairman of the house CON-
mittee on Indian affairs, and ad-
vised against the presentMcMur
ray contracts, has shown no in
to favor them. n
Representative Bird Mcclure,
OF Oklahoma, however, has tes-
titled that be assured McMurray
in Washington that he had not
the contracts and az.
reed to tell President Taft that
the entire Oklahoma delegation
was not opposed to them. 1t was
ut Representative Mcclure suite
in n Washington hotel that Ham
on, who Senator Gore accuses of
attempting bribery stayed last
spring. McMurray has.also been

rentive McMurray admits
On the stand Senator Gore
quoted Hamon al saying that
Vice. President Sherman and 9th.
sr persons Of influence were "in.
