sidered in improving our sanitary
conditions are:
% Hookworm disease is ex-
ceedingly common. affecting in all
probability not less than one out
of every four of our people, es-
pecially if we consider those under
twenty-five Years of age.
(2) Victims having the dis
ease in medium severity eXpel dal-
~ one to three million hookworm
eggs along with the excreta.
Hence, single infected person
may pollute,, the soil surrounding
a SchooIhouse or a home ana thus
spread infection to every bare
footed member of the school or
home.
(3) The eggs require only
twelve to twenty-four hours to
hatch into tiny larvae, and these
in tUln require only a week TO
reach the injecting stage. In
this stage they live in the soil six
to eighteen months. If they fail
during this time to find entrance
into the human body they perish.
And Two Remedies to Adopt.
AS we have no practical means
for destroying them in the soil
we must let them perish there.
This they will do if we protect
ourselves from them. As it has
been proven repeatedly that prac
tically all the worms enter the hu-
man body through the skin, con
tact with soil until it is free from
pollution should be prevented.
Two measures, if uniformly car
ried out by all our people will
render polluted soil an historic
memory They are: (1) Des-
tructicn of all egg-laying worms
by treating every person who is
infected. (2) Installing and us

DANGER IN CHILDREN GOING
BAREFOOTED.
By DR.. John A. Ferrall, of the
Hookworm Commission.

Here in our Southland if is I'M
fortunate for. many reasons that
our boys and girls can not 90
barefooted without exposing
themselves to the danger Of hook
worm infection. The cost of
shoes for the winter months alone
cramps many families. and TO
supply them the whole year will
increase the hardship. Moreover,
the pleasures. and the healthful-
ness, of going barefooted. should
not be withheld from children if
it could be safely allowed.
We shall enumerate few facts
pertaining TO the infection to
show that if we could have the
uniform cooperation of all the
people for a period Of two years
IN carrying out preventive meas
ures, the health of tens of thou
sands of people would be restored.
or conserved, and the happy day
would soon return when We could
romp barefooted on any Of our
Suthern soil with impunity. The
condition we have is the result of
carelessness, or ignorance in SAM
tary measures. 1t is deplorable.
it is true. but fortunately is cor
rectible; and with the stupendous
awakening among our people on
matters pertaining to health and
sanitation we may hope for its
speedy radiance.
