.LAZINESS A MENACE
HOOkWOPm Complaint Is Feared In
United States.
Physicians Say Disease Is Being
Imported and BIames Ex-'
Mexican Rebels.

Los Angeles-That the more OF
less mysterious and freakish thyroid
gland, in combination with the eff
fects of various diets, may exert a
direct influence for large or small
families, was one of the interesting
inferences drawn from a scientific
narrative of experiments conducted
with mice, which was read Thursday
before the American Medical Asso-
citation by DR.. Reid Hunt, of Wash
ington, d. G.
An increase in laziness in this
country due to the hookworm was
predicted by DR.. John Colbert, of
Albuquerque. n NJ, as a result of
the late Mexican revolution. DR.. Col
bert, who is regarded as an expert
in hookworm diseases, declared that
eX-rebels afflicted with the disease,
the most prominent symptom of
which is a tired feeling, had crossed
over into the United States to work
on railroads as section hands.
Whether they work or not he said
they would spread the dreaded worm
He added that in response to his
warning the others had taken meas
ures to reduce the danger of infec
tion.
In his experiments with the thy
roid and different diets, Dr. Hunt
said he had observed remarkable re-
suits. He examined two groups of
four mice for period of four months
and found that fecundity or sterility
depended upon the activity or idle
ness of the gland
One group of the rodents was fed
upon oatmeal and liver. This simu-
lated the activity of the gland and
at the end of the four months there
were no little mice. On the other
hand, the second group, which had
crackers, milk and eggs, increased
to l0l in the same period.

and thus increase the agricultural
population of the community. In
stead of diminishing crop yield it
will mean a constantly increasing
production. Farming can scarcely
hope to come into its own without
live stock. Let us speed the day
when the farms of Oregon shall have
more and better cows, more and bet-

hogs and larger and better flocks of

mean greater general prosperity AMI
the new wealth thus created will

Gluten feeds are not to be colored
hereafter. They will. therefore. no
longer show the bright orange color
to which We are accustomed. but a
rather dull. dirty yellow This will in
no way lessen their value; nor did the
color injure it. A distinction should
be made between cottonseed meal and
cottonseed feed. The latter contains
more or less Of hulls. and analyzes
about % per cent protein. Anything
below SS per cent protein should be
classed with the latter.

MISUNDERSTANDING with Sen
ator Cummins' attack today on the
reciprocity measure, as legislation
unjust to the agricultural interests
of the country, and concluding with
Senator BOrah's denunciation as a
Republican betrayal of the farming
interests, the Senate debate was all
antagonistic to the agreement and
critical of the President and his
methods.
The Senate gave only partial at
tention to the speeches. although
they were among the most important
that will be made against the bill.
Several times a call Of the Senate
was demanded. Senator Nelson, of
Minnesota, finally proposed that as
so little attention was given to the
subject. the Senate take a recess
until November or. December.
Senator Cummins, who will CON
tinue his speech tomorrow, attacked
not only the construction of the re-
agreement itself, which he
said put the whole burden of free
trade upon the farmer without giving
him any benefits in the guise of re
ductiOn of duty on manufactured
products. but he also criticised the
power exercised by the President to
negotiate it and to bring it to the
point of a definite agreement be
tween the two countries.
In doing this, Cummins said, the
President had usurped the powers
of Congress and had exceeded the
power lodged in him to deal with
foreign nations upon revenue ques-
tions. If a @reciprocity agreement
were to be made with Canada. he
said, the original proposal should
have come from Congress, instead
of through Presidential advances,
which had brought the agreement to
a point where Congress was assured
it could not be changed or amended.

GENERAL NEWS OF NATIONAL HAPPENINGS

Washington-His method of book
keeping and his loyalty to the Demo
cratic partly alike were under fire
today, when Edward Tilden, bank
director, packing-house manager and
corporation man generally, appeared
before the Senate Lorimer commit
tee to testify that he was no way
interested in the raising Of a fund
to elect Mr.. Lorimer to the Senate
Attorneys for the committe, attor-
neys for Senator Lorimer and mem
bers of the committee itself asked
Mr.. Tilden In every conceivable style
of question whether he had anything
to do or knew anyone who had any
thing to do with the raising of a
fund to elect Senator Lorimer, either
before or after the election.
To each question the witness de-
clared with emphasis that he did
not.
Tilden was subjected to an exam
ination as to his relations to corpor-
ations. He mentioned that he was
president of the National Packing
company and added the names of
five other Chicago corporations of
which he was president, besides be-
ing the head of concerns in other
cities. He was confused" when
asked by Senator Kenyon to tell of
how many corporations he was pres
,f
panies."
He thought" he was director of
banks in Sioux City, Ia, st. Joseph,
Mo, and San Francisco, and he gave
a long list of banks in which he
was stockholder, but forgot until
nearly at the end of his testimony
to mention a bank in East ST. Louis
Either as treasurer or in some other
capacity, he testified, he had the
right to draw checks on the bank
accounts of "25 or 80 corporations"
