Fighting the nokworm.

DR.. w. s. feathers, Director of Pub
lie Health and Sanitation of the state
board of health and Dean of the medi-
cal department of the University, is in
receipt of a letter from DR.. X. N.
Whitfield, a representative of the board
of health, who has been conducting a
public health campaign in Covington
county, giving special attention to
hookworm disease. Wherever this work
is being done untold good is accom-
plished and the letter given below
speaks for itself:
"You have done my family more good
by treating them for hookworm dis
ease than everything else that has been
done.
There are ten in my family, the
youngest being IL years of age. The
oldest child is "a years of age. You
found all of us. myself. husband and
eight children, badly affected with
hookworm disease, and have given all
of us the treatment.
"For the past two years not a mem
Der of my family outside of myself has
been able to work. Year before last
not less than six of the family were IN
bed nearly the whole year. Two of
them were in bed nearly all of last
year, and others in bed at different
times. had to give up my horse and
milk COW last year to buy medicine that
did no good.
81 ordered $40 worth more of medi-
cine from st. Louis and it did no good.
81 managed to keep things going by
scrubbing and washing for the people
of Collins and using what little dona-
| tons the people gave me.
"Since beginning the hookworm treat
ment not one has been in bed except
when taking the treatment and nearly
all are now able to work and help. The
people do not give me any aid now, and
in fact l do not need their assistance. l
feel very grateful for the benefit we re-
ceiyed."
This letter was written by Mrs. Eliz-
abeth Rails, Collins, Miss. The facts
| contained in this letter have been veri-
fed, and it is but an example of what
is being done to improve the physical
efficiency of our people and increase
the industrial prosperity of the state.

And get a job to work at. So
No more at present" wrote then

When dad turned up his plate an seen
The note, he took it up between
His thumb and finger this away
An read it through, an didn't say
A word; but give a sort O. frown
An folded it and laid it down
An ct his supper Then he lit
His pipe an set there smokin' it
Till bedtime. Then / said good night.
An he said, Good night, son; sleep

A Plea for Mother.
From the Sturgeon (Mo.) Leader.)

From the Sturgeon (Mo.) Leader.)
These words are written for some
one particular man who reads this page.
l do not know his name, but l know his
story.
He is a middle-aged man, married,
prosperous. He is a good man, highly
respected and hasn't any idea but that
he is doing his full duty by his old
mother, who lives in his home and
whom he supports. He supplies her
wants. She eats at his table, is shell
tered by his roof, is warmed by his
fire, is decently clothed by his hands;
but that is all.
He neglects her. He never says a
word of affection to her. He never
pays her any little attentions. When
she ventures an opinion he cuts it short
with curt comment.
When she tells her g%arrulous old sto-
ries, as old people will, he doesn't even
conceal how much he is bored.
Under this GOODNESS and neglect the
letter written in trembling and feeble
hand, she asks me if l cannot say sCme-
thing that her son will read and may
make him think.
All, if l only could. If l could only
say to him: Man, man, give love as
we'll as duty to your mother. Give her
the wine of life as well as the bread.
Do not forget the woman who never
forgets you"
OF course the man will saw, and
truthfully, that he is busy, overworked,
care burdened; that he has the claims
of wife and children upon him, that he
IS often irritable through sheer physi-
cal WEAKNESS and overstrain.
Granted. But your mothers life has
not been easy. Your father was a poor
man, and from the day she married
him she stood by his side fighting the
wolf from the door with her naked
not the s or 10 hour day of the Union,
but the 24-hour of the poor wife and
mother. She cooked and cleaned and
patched and nursed from dawn until
bedtime, and in the night was up and
down getting drinks for thirsty lips,
covering restless little sleepers. listen
ing for croupy coughs.
She had time to say the things that
spurred your ambition on. She never
forgot to cook the little dishes that you
liked.
She did without the dress she needed
mat you mlgnt not De ashamed OF your
clothes before your fellows.
Stop man, and think what would life
have been to you if she had treated you
in your childhood as you are treating
her in her old age.
Suppose there had been no warm ca
ressing mothers love. Suppose there
had been no soft breast on which you
could weep out your childish sorrows,
no clinging arms to enfold you and
comfort you when the things of your
little world went wrong. Would it not
take away from you the memory of all
that is best and sweetest in life? Is
there anything else so pitiful on earth
as the little child that is motherless-
that is an alien in a strange home
that has no one to love it? Yes, there
is just n other figure more forlorn
than the little unloved child, and that
is the old mother who is unloved by the
children she has raised and who is
doomed to spend the last years of her
life in a glacial atmosphere of neglect,
her devotion, her labors, her sacrifice
forgotten.

How GirI.GueSt Should Act.

In an article on ''The Girl as a
Guest" in the July Woman's Home
Companion, Anne Bryan Mccall says
in part:
How is one to be the successful guest?
A hundred ways suggest themselves, a
hundred ways of paying for the privi-
lege of staying in the homes of others;
little nous ahold tasks that may be done,
little household rules and interests to
be respectfully followed; little thought
full courtesies to be practiced; little
pleasures of one sort or another to be-
stow OF everyone, but very especially
on the aged and the young; a hundred
little considerate, unselfish acts; a curb
ing of too violent opinions, a setting
aside of too strong p~rejudices.
All these are practical means, and
they will materially help the girl who
is a guest in the house of another, but
back of all these lies something more
fundamental. You may call it respect,
or obligation, or reverence, or duty, or
love; but whatever you name it, its
function is to make this home that YOU
live in, whether it be your own home or
the home of another, a place of obliga-
ton, a place to which, for benefits re-
ceived, you are under obligation to give
in payment for something of finer metal
than gold or silver. The old phrase, Il
am much Obliged" is a good one So,
in!eed, we should all be much obliged"
to give a return for what We receive.
When all is said and done, when all
the guests have come and gone, and
the fire burns low on the hearth, | find
myself still thinking of the minstrel of
old as the ideal guest-the minstrel
who, poor though he was, and hungry,
brought with him the gift of song, and
stories that stirred the heart; who, in
return for the privilege of warming
himself at a blazing hearth, warmed
the hearts of his hearers, added glow to
life, and kipdled purpose in those
whose motives may have burned low.
Not gold and silver, but the real things
of life: the sharing of ideals, the touch
of life with life, the stirring of the
heart; beauty and lofty things, given
simply and humbly; and to be better
than our common selves, lifted out OF
the commonplace by the opportunity
as the minstrel became for the time
: being, and in the light of his hosts fire
the instrument of song, a rest to those
who were weary, an entertainer tt
some of those who had lost the zest OF
life, and an inspiration to the young.
To be at ones best, there it is. That
is the obligation, no doubt; to exact oil
oneself the best that one can be anc
the best that one can give.

The next time you think you need a
dose of calomel, don't take it. Even if
you have taken it often before. this
might be the very dose that would sail
vate you. Its use is sometimes fol-
lowed by dangerous after-effects. If
you are constipated OF bilious, or if
your liver has gotten lazy and inactive.

will make you feel like new"

were not willing to fully guarantee it.
So anybody who buys a bottle of Dod-
sons Liver-Tone at the store of Jno. P.

into the store any day and get his or
her money back.

attendance at the grange meetings before
physical ina ability forced them TO remain

Miss Skinner. while not member for as
many years, was always faithful in at

ciples until about three years ago, " hen
she suffered stroke OF paralysis which
confined her to her room and bed. Since
then Mrs. Oakes mas been her faithful
guardian.
The pictures have been hung in a con-
spleious place in the sick-room, where
they both can look at them and appreciate
the love that prompted the gift.
