Bowling Green-The State Board
OF Health OF Kentucky has issued
a bulletin on the prevalence. symp-

worm in Kentucky. The bulletin
says in part
An epoch making discovery was
made ten years ago when DR. Stiles
found hookworm to be the prevailing
disease in a large part OF the South
ern States and found IL to be the
explanation OF the wretched physi-
cal condition OF many of our South.

more to the South than any hap.

when It comes to its full fruition the
health and the lives of thousands
will be monument to the work OF
this un5elfish investigator
In Kentucky the Investigations OF
the meteorological labratory OF the
State Board of Health have shown
the presence of the disease In twenty
counties typical as to health condi.
tions OF all the others Twenty
eight per cent OF the specimens col
lecied at random by one physician
have been found TO contain hook.
worm eggs This indicates quite as
grea; an infection in Kentucky as
has been found in Virginia and

cant fact that where more than five
specimens were received from "A

as in Edmonson county only three

Caused by Germs.
Sanitarians and physicians now
know that many diseases. such as
consumption. typhoid fever and diph-
iberia are caused by germs These
germs are simply disease seed They
may be compared to the seed OF
weeds Every good farmer knows
the Importance Of destroying weeds

after they have been carefully dyed
or stained by an expert and then
examined under powerful micro
scope which make them look from
100 To 1000 times larger than they
really are. Germs are scattered
much like seed sometimes by flies.
others by mosquitoes or rats and
many by careless people.
The Importance OF the movement

be appreciated when Il IL understood
that forty out OF every hundred

Iiookworm disease was first de-

named Dublni in 1898 Since then
numerous observers all over the
world have described H. In all
probability IL was introduced in the
South by slaves imported from Az.
