ing the disease to gain Roadway. Mis-
sissippi is simply entering upon the
fight against the infection as other
states are doing. This is no fad, as
some people claim, and DR.. feathers
refers to such as mere rot, and says
if we don't stop the infection the peo-
pie of the state will soon be where
Porto Rico is.
He says the disease is so prevalent
it is attacking our economical condi-
tons. The children are dwarfed,
physically and mentally, and are una
BILE to do good work in the schools,
while they are Indifferent to their
work at home.
One of the field agents made a re-
port on one school in South MISSISSIPPI
pi, where there are 22 pupils. OF this
number Fl were infected, nine serious
ly, while the teaches also has the dis
ease.
The infection, according to the re-
ports, is more serious in South Missis-
sippi, but the people there realize the
situation fully and are giving the field
agnts every cooperation in their
work.
DR.. feathers thinks that, in a re-
markably short time, if the people will
take the treatment, the disease can
be eradicated from the state, and he
and his associates are devoting great
deal of energy to educating the people
up to the treatment, in addition to ad-
ministering it, while the physicians
and druggists of the state are doing
great deal of work along that line.

H00kWORM DISEASE IS
COMMON in MISSISSIPPI

and every detail of the work was
gone into. The report showed that
during the summer about 100 lectures
were delivered in different parts OF
the state, and the attendance at these
lectures was unusually good. This
shows the people are interested in the
work and that they have a great APP
probation of the good results received
from from it.
While the infection is worse in
some parts than others, it is due en-
tirely to conditions. In cities, where
the sewerage is good, the conditions
are nothing like as bad as even in the
smaller towns, where they have no
sewerage system.
One feature of the work that is
gratifying to DR.. feathers, DR.. Nc
Lean and their associates in the work
is the attitude of the physicians in
every place visited by the field agents.
They offer their services free and do
everything they can to aid the agents
in their work, while many of the drug
gists have offered to donate thymol
for treating the people of their towns
counties, through the efforts of DR.. w.
N. Rowan, the supervisors have passed
an order to furnish thymol for the
people of these counties.
Most of the country people realize
the serious condition confronting them
and are willing to submit to the treat
ment. Two treatments, it is said, will
cure the most serious case. The field
agents arouse interest among the peo-
pie by making an address, explaining
the effects of the disease, the method
of cure and how to prevent it. The
agents show no favoritism in the treat
ment, as all persons are treated alike
by them in this work, regardless of
position or influence.
There are three classes of patients
medium and serious. The
mild shows no external symptoms, but
is diagnosed with the microscope.
The medium is merely suspect,
whose case is also diagnosed with a
microscope, while the serious is east
ly recognized, even by the layman.
The disease is easily cured, but more
easily prevented. 1t is caused by in
fected soil, due to improper sanitary
precautions. 1t may be prevented by
compelling children to wear shoes,
but better by establishing good SAM
tary condition around the home.
The Board of Health is soliciting
the aid of the physicians of the state
in it's work, and they are giving their
support in every way. That the situa-
ton may be more clearly understood,
DR.. feathers is preparing a bulletin,
which will be distributed for the in
formation of the general public. This
bulletin will be sent out to physicians.
ministers, teachers, county superin-
tendents of education and others, call
ing attention to the public health cam
paign and enlisting their aid in deal
ing with this problem in Mississippi.
The situation here, DIR. feathers
says, is not different from other states.
All other states are doing the same
thing, and conditions are not differ
ent here, though the infection may be
more general in some districts. This
condition is due, he says, entirely to
the fact that people do not give prop
er attention to sanitation and allow

THE TYPHOID SITUATION
Three More Middies Have The Disease
But The Authorities Are Not Wor.
fied

No additional cases of typhoid
developed among the Midshipmen at
the Naval Academy today and the
medical authorities are most en-
phatic in their statements that the
cases which developed yesterday
came from the same bad milk that
caused the original outbreak
Surgeon A. NJ. D. Mccormick,
senior medical officer at the Academy,
announced this Jnorning that there
was not now q single suspected case,
bat asserted that there might still be
a few cases developed. He said that
through some mistake in counting
the number of patients as they were
admitted, the press had totaled too
many. Only twenty-seven Midship
men have been sent to the Naval
General Hospital in all. OF these
one has passed clear through the dis
ease and returned to duty entirely re-
covered. He is James A. McCown,
of Texas. a Lmember of the fourth
class.
Twenty-six Middies are now in
the hospital with the disease and
eight of these are in the convaescent
ward The authorities do not consider
the situation can be called an epi-
demic, and are not at all upset over
the new cases which have appeared
within the last day or two nor is
there any probability of the Academy
being dismissed or any such drastic
action being taken.
The three admitted yesterday had
been affected for more than a week
with what the doctors term walk
ing typhoid" and like Kenneth C.

Great Arctic Production Al COIoniaI
Theatre Thursday By ]. s. Warm
bath

Warmbath, the artic explorer, who
spent twenty-seven months in the
Arctic. will next Thursday be pre-
sented in Polar production nearly
approaching the sublime realities of
the original landscape, with such
accessories and such a stage atmos-
phere as though q real far north
Gene had been carried hero on an fee
berg and then taken intact into the
theatre, at the Colonial.
A great cycloramic drop envelopes
the numerous and original articles
that have been used by the Eskimos,
as we'll as by Peary and himself, such
as sealskin tents, sledges, dogs, har-
poems, spears and dozens of other ar
ticles. All these and one hundred
and twenty-five stereopticou views
of the actual scenes of Greenland and
Ellesmere Land, a region full of mys-
terry and tragedy, interesting to Sci
ence, full of charm to the school boys,
the scene of magnificent daring, of
splendid heroism, of brilliant achive-
ments and of awful suffering.
The theme is one Of perpetual fas-
cination. especially to Americans.
Many of the prominent actors in the
Arctic dramas were Americans, whose
names are known throughout the
land: Gen. Greedy, Major Brainard,
Admiral Schley, Admiral Melville,
Commander Peary and others. Kane
Basin was the scene Of most of their
exploits. as well as of the earlier
ones of Kane and Hayes.
1t was the man theatre Of Arctic
history the main stage on which the
Arctic tragedies were enacted, and
it is especially identified with the
achievements of American explorers
and the final conquest of the pole by
the eminent Commander Peary.

A STRONG PLAY
The Wolf PIeases Large Audience Al
The Colonial Theatre

Close to nature anu with an atmos-
phere of the Canadian Hudson Bay
County. Eugene Walters melodrama
''The Wolf" was presented here Sat
urday matinee and night before large
and appreciative audiences.
The play bears the Eugene Wal
ter's stamp of realism as do the other
plays of this playwright-the "Eas-
lest Way" and paid In Full. The
cast consists of but one woman and
five men. "The Wolf tells a story
of girl who was betrayed and sent
to her death in the Canadian Hud-
son Bay country Her half-brother
seeks the man and finds him attempt
irg to lure another young girl to
ruin.
1t happens that the half.brother
loves this girl, so he takes her away,
but the villain follows. The meet
ing of the two rivals the villain and
the hero-makes one of the strongest
and most interesting scenes ever
witnessed on the American stage.
The two men meet in the dark and
fight for the possession of the girl.
The audience hears the two men as
they toss and pummel each other
about the stage.
Finally there is moan, and the
listeners know that death has come
to one of the fighters. But which
one? The moon creeps up, and the
victor strikes match and holds it
above his victims head. Then
comes the great applause, for the
right man has been victorious, and
the play has a happy ending. The
hero, Jules Beaubien, young
French Canadian, is most acceptably
cast, and Mr.. Bryant Washburn.
young, handsome, debonnair, made
most favorable impression with the
audience.
The comedy lines are in the cap
able hands of Mr.. Ernest Wood, who
as George Huntley, McDonald's as
sistant, an American engineer, light
ems and brightens an otherwise alto.
gether heavy and mournful story.
Some credit belongs to Mr.. Henry
Douglas, who, as Andrew McTavish,
the Scotch settler, whose ideas of re-
ligion and the Kirk were straight
laced and of the exaggerated Cal
vinisti c blue-stocking type, never
once forgot his character, as he did not
forget the yellow hair and black
heart of his much-abused daughter,
from whose life he shut out all the
sunlight in the narrowness of his
four walled existence.
The play points moral and adorns
tale, and was we'll presented in all
