REJOICING OVER THE RESULT.

The Times desires to Join the thou
sands Of North Dakotans who are re-
5oicing over the defeat Of tho re-
ciprocity pact by Canada, not because
~ contributed what We could to the
aght made against 1t in this state, but
because It means greater profits for
the farmers Of the northwest. and
through them, a greater prosperity for
every business concern. It 10 like
wise a matter Of some pride to have
the arguments that were advanced in
the anti-reciprocity campaign by the
Times and other opponents Of the
measure on this side Of the line prov
N true within a day after the defeat
OF the scheme by Canada. At the same
time the results must confuse and
confound those who used the f1imsy
arguments and sophistries in an eff
fort to prove that the removal Of the
duty on wheat would not affect its
price.
The Times has always contended
that opening the American market to
Canadian wheat would lower the
price in this country. Few people
In the states believed the agreement
would be %repudiated by Canada, and
the grain market for months has been
based on this belief. SO soon as the
danger from the dumping of the Can
adam crop on the American market
vas past, wheat went up more than
five emit at Minneapolis. while at
Winnipeg 1t went down. The follow
ing table Of market prices on Thurs
day, the day of the Canadian cleo
ton. and Friday. the day following

ouent terms:

Evidently from these figures the
price Of American wheat has been held
down by the danger Of Canadian re-
ciprocity. The removal Of the danger
has advanced the price more than five
cents while the Canadian price has
declined one-half cent. This is the
result Of ono day. Under these condi-
tons It 10 not difficult to see that
North Dakota farmers have lost thou
sands Of dollars because Of the re-
ciprocity pact even when it finally
met defeat.
The North Dakota wheat crop for
this year has been estimated at s0,-
100000 bushels. Suppose the pact had
been ratified by Canada, and the five
cents advance even had not been pos
sible. the loss to the wheat growers
OF the state would have been S4.0O0,-
600 This does not include the losses
which have already occurred on wheat
already sold and which would fur
them be caused on barley and other
much to the people of the state as the
defeat Of this pact did.
It is a matter Of regret that 80
much of the present crop has been
marketed under the depressed prices.
When the farmers realize that they
have lost the cost Of marketing every
bushel Of wheat they have sold, they
will appreciate what threatened re-
ciprocity has done for them.
The wisdom and Judgment Of those
who opposed the agreement have
vtndicated. The danger which they
saw and warned against has been
proven we'll founded. The cost and
trouble Of the unavailing fight in the
northwest were contributed to a cause
which one days market showed were

A NOVELTY IN CHARTERS

AOSo"
the Panama canal, presenting features
decidedly unusual in the corporate
grants of that state, may turn out to
be a sermon. and may eventuate as a
song and dance. Its provisions are
unusual. but study is required to make
it clear whether they will be effective.
Three provisions have surface tndi-
cations of decided hostility to the
~stereotyped corporation methods.
First, nobody connected with any
competitive carrier, by land or by wa
ter. whether as director, officer or
agent, will be eligible to like positions
In the new steamship line" We quote
from a newspaper report which may
not be exact. But the literal provision
is vital here, since, as it is stated, it
would be easy to evade the intent by
making, say. a director Of one COM
pany a president or general manager
OF another. But If 1t Is that such per-
sons shall not hold ANY position" in
stead Of "like positions" 1t sounds
like good medicine.
There Is perhaps q more direct pur-
gative in this provision: "Should
notice be given by the postmaster
general that any stakeholder in the
company represents a competing in
terest such stockholder would be pro-
hibited by the charter from voting his
stock" Universally enforced, this
would be likely to defeat the purpose
Of buying up for the combination the
stock Of competitors. As dummy
directors are not infrequent dummy
stockholders it might not be impossi-
bic. But the financial combination
putting large stock interests in the
hands Of dummy stockholders would
run a big risk Of the stakeholder maxi
ing his fictitious ownership a real one.
1t could not enforce its claim against
him since that would be exposing it's
own fraud. But why confine the effect
of this provision to notice from the
generalT" Postmasters
general have proved human a. we'll
as other cabinet members, aud proof
of the fact, whether it comes from
the postmaster general or not. should
work the came disqualification.
AS to the provision alleged to give
smaller investors q proportionately
greater voice In the management than
the owners Of large blocks it is hard
to judge Of its effect. But the profess
sion Of organizing a New Jersey cor
poration to maintain instead of stiae
competition is a hopeful sign. II dur
ing the past history of granting char
ters and franchises there had been
half the care taken to maintain the
principle Of competition that there
actually was to provide the means Of
suppressing it, there would have been
no corporate problem today.

Modern medical science has within

ing and classifying a human parasite
which for an unknown period IN tne
past. has been responsible for a variety
OF disorders, called by various names,
such as ground-itch. foot-itch. toe-itch.

forms of anemia. 1t has been appro-
priately named "Hookworm." J..

In 1882 GoeZe, a German clergyman
and zoologist, found a small hair-like
parasite in the intestine of a badger
he was dissecting. which he called der
Observation-Disclosures hair-round worm.
Seven years later Froelich, another
German z%oologist, found a similar par
asite in the intestine of a fox. OBJ
serving the hooks spoken of by
Goeze, Froelich adopted the vernacular
word haakenwurm (hookworm), and
gave the generic name Uncinaria to the
genus he established. Thus the para
site got it's name. AS a matter of fact
the hooks are not hooks at all. How
ever. the name chung for two other rea-
sons. The head of the worm bends
con%spicuously backward, making a
hook of the worm itself. and within
the mouth cavity of h European spe-
cies lie FOUR sharp, chitinous teeth,
which hook" themselves into the it's
sues of the victim.
Hookworms enter the body In the form
of larvae IN two ways; either through the
skin or by being swallowed. This gives
rise to two recognized stages in the dis
ease, namely %cutaneous hookworm anc
intentinal hookworm. The former is
known throughout our southern states by
the various popular names already quoted
and the custom among certain classes OF
people of going barefoot is undoubtedly g
primary cause of infection.

Symptoms Are Many

The symptoms of incubation, espe-
cially among little ones who cannot
describe their sufferings, are marked
peevishness, restlessness and irrita-
stolid and stodgy apathy. When the
real attack begins there is sTeatins,
pain in the back and limbs, neckachel
and headache. The child will not be
able to sit up nor hold up its head.
In many cases there are digestive dis
turbances. Very shortly there super
venes paralysis-perhaps with delirium
especially in the leg muscles. A def
mite group of muscles may be involved
or but one extremity. or the trunk.
or the upper extremities. Permanent
paralysis usually affects the legs, rare
ly the arms. Perhaps the paralysis is
preceded by muscular twitchings, and
symptoms, such as squint, will vary ac-
cording to the parts of the nervous
system affected. Blood changes are
marked in this disease. Infantile pa
ralysis has often been mistaken for
meningitis and for rheumatism.
For some years physicians differed
as to the primary causes of %infantile
paralysis, some maintaining hat the
disease was spread wholly by infection,
others holding that previous mishaps,
such as falls. measles, Group and the
like gave rise to LESSONS which predis-
posed the luckless %youngster to an at
tack of the new disorder. But gem
orally and in the light of wider expe-
rience, the latter named supposedly
predisposing causes have been elimin-
| ated. incubation by infection is now
considered to be the chief cause, al
though some of the many diseases in
cidental to childhood may leave the
system in a weakened condition and
unable to fight off the virus of infan-
tile paralysis. 1t is known also that
the virus may be carried by we'll per-
sons from the infected to the unin-
fected, and as the period of incubation
varies from five to IS days, it becomes
quite clear that immigrants from in
fected districts may and frequently
do transfer the disease across the At
lantic before its detection through
quarantine examination or detention
becomes possible.
