KENTUCKY BOARD Of HEALTH
GRAPPLES WITH HOOKWORM

that more than 80 per cent Of the
| students in certain southern colleges
are infected. and in some of the com
mon schools 95 per cent Severn
schools have shown infection OF II
to 40 per cent
Hookworm disease is caused by q
small. round worm, about one-hall
iLch long and about as thick as an
ordinary hairpin. The American spe
cies varies in color from dead whits
10 dirty gray. sometimes red from
.Egested blood.
The hookworm patient is a pitiful
object. The first symptoms show in
tense anemia As the disease takes
frrther hold the sufferer swells in all
parts OF the body, the skin becomes
pasty, the face loses its look of in.

cepraved Appetite Caused.
For years in different parts OF Ken
lucky there have been people ode
scribed as clay eaters" These peo
pie were of loathsome appearance and
were pitied even by their neighbors.
who did not dream that their peculiar
appearance and their appetite for the
c'ay that is found in the mountain
tions Of the state were caused by q
disease The board of health, how
ever, has found that these people
were all victims of the hookworm. 1t
Is a popularity Of the hookworm suf-
ferers that they are inveteFate de-
vcurers of all sour substances-lem-
ons, pickles, salt, pepper. sour milk,
chalk. clay. ashes, tobacco. mortar and
plaster, sand, gravel, sticks decayed
wood, paper and cloth being some OF
the delicacies appealing to the de-
PRAYED appetite.
Extreme lassitude Is never failing

gins and continues. together with the
lassitude, until the victim dies
Unlike pellagra,. the state board of
health declares that hook worm can
be cured where treatment Is given
early enough. To this end a state
wide campaign has been started and
viii lbe pushed until every part Of the
state has been covered. Where the
patient is financially unable to pay for
treatment it is expected that the state
will settle the bills.
AS is the case with pellagra, tue
hookworm is most prevalent in the
more sparsely settled mountain COM
munities. In every case examined 1t
has been found that the home of the
victim has been inadequately fitted
with sanitary appliances, and the
board of health officially states that
the real preventive of hookworm lies
In CLEANLINESS and proper sanitation.

as is often the case, in the United
States, which causes many persons to
regard bananas as being difficult to
digest.
1t seems only necessary to make
the value of banana food products
known in order to Great a large mar
ket for them. Already they are to a
considerable extent popular in Ger
many and Great Britain, which have
been taking the bulk of the exports of
such products from Jamaica. When
bananas are selling at a low price, as
Is usually the case in this colony dur
ing the fall and winter, it is quite
profitable to use them for manufac-
turing purposes. AS the worlds de-
mand for these products increases it
is to be expected that bananas will
he grown extensively in districts too
remote from shipping ports or rail-
road facilities to make their exporta-
ton practicable.
In Jamaica several factories have
already been built in such districts.
In. banana producing countries far re-
moved from large markets, like the
Society and the Samoan Islands and
other island grouns in the Pacific
Ocean, this fruit can be grown at
small expense for manufacturing food
products. Especially adapted to such
en- undertaking is Tahiti, the principal
leland of the Society group. which has
steamship communication with San
Francisco and New Zealand and Aus
tralia, all too distant for exporting the
fruit itself to advantage except in yes
sells built especially for that purpose.
The Hawaiian Islands and the Phil
ippines also seem to offer inviting
fields for the profitable manufacture
and expectation of banana food pro-
ducts. This consulate has received
an inquiry from Honolulu with re-
gard to this method of using bananas.

If Supervisor Low had cared to

found out that only two stockhold-

and the other whose holding is
merely nominal-each own one

holder in the Hawaiian Develop

man who owns five shares in the
Rapid Transit Company, is finan-
cially interested in the Rapid

Clay Eaters Acquired Morbid
Habit Owing to This
Disease

LEXINGTON, KY, July lit has
4 been announced that the fifteenth ii
/ ternational congress on hygiene ant
Edemography. which meets in Washing
! ton in September, will take up wha.
! is just LOW the newest and most dan
gerous disease epidemic ever known
in Kentucky. This Is the hookworm
o. which il is estimated there are 10,
900 cases in the Kentucky rural dis
txfcts. This is the most complex prop
lem before the Kentucky state boarI
of health at the present time.
Startling facts have recently beeI.
! learned by the board, which is inves-
agating the problems connected wit
peliagra. Investigations have shown
the presence of the disease in 20
counties. In 2S per cent of the speei.
mems collected at random by one
physician the hookworm has beer de-
tected. This. according to the state
board of health. indicates as great an
Injection in kentucky as has been
found in Virginia and other southern
states.
Il has only recently been realized
that the hookworm existed to any very
great extent in the state. In the fall
of 1910 the surgeon, general of the
United States army announced that a
large proportion of the recruits from
Kentucky were infected. This createc
such interest throughout this state
that an appropriation was secured
from the IooiSlqflfro and tho invoafipa-
tion which has never ceased since
then, has demonstrated that in 20
counties in. different parts of the
state-fn fact, in every county where
an investigation has been made the
disease exists.
Children Greatest Sufferers.
Children and young adults are the
greatest sufferers, but persons of any
age may become infected Cases have
heen found in very young children and
in very .old men in Kentucky While
it is true that 1t is chiefly among peo-
pie of poor financial conditions. living
In insanitary surroundings, that the
disease is found, because the oppor-I
tunity for infection is so much great.
el, cases are found among those who
are more fortunate financially and
the better educated classes.
The state board of health declares
that the general disregard for santa.
tion in the country and small towns,
and the outskirts of the larger ones,
is responsible for nearly all cases OF
hookworm disease. 1T finds. however,
