Cargo Of Maxwells
Sent to Australia
Constitute a Record

Loaded with automobiles until u was
impossible to get another one aboard, the
Australian steamer Schoenfels sailed from
New York December 20 for Adelaide,
South Australia, carrying the largest
single cargo OF motor cars ever shipped
abroad by an American automobile manu-
facturer and leaving a big overload on
the dock to follow on the next steamer.
All the cars were MaXwells, shipped by
the United Motor Export company, the
foreign division of the United states
Motor company They were sold to the
Farmers and Producers Supply company,
one of the largest companies OF It's KIND
i'm Australia.
In addition 20 carrying n record cargo,
the CAPTAIN OF the Schoenfels unknowingly
$ particlpatins in what may be record
for speed in The delivery of automobile
export orders. The shipment was made
ms the result OF q cable order received less
than one week after American newspapers
and trade Journals reached Australia with
accounts OF the Maxwell victory in the
Glidden tour. incidentally 1t showed that
ihe merchandising power of great Ameri-
can newspapers extends to the remote
Darts Of the slob@ 'r.- 8.
Forty cars In one shipment were de-
handed by the cable order and this de-
lmand was'in addition TO an ordinary ship
ment of thirty-five Maxwells which had
been previously put aboard the steamship
to say nothing Of the usual export ship
,ments Of Columblas Stoddard- Daytons
and British runabouts. One of the largest
automobile dealers in Australia long ago
placed a standing order for Brush run
abouts and these cars are going TO the
Antipodes by every steamer leaving New
York.
Automobile trade with other foreign
countries shows a proportlonate increase
and each week finds the products of the
United States Motor company reaching
out into new fields. The British Isles
and continental Europe are supplied by a
direct branch located in London, but the
trade of all other countries is handled by
the United Motor Export company in
New York,
Regular shipments are being made to
nearly every country on the map. The
distribution of shipments by the last few

There is a troubled or drawn ex-

He suffers from indigestion and
heart burn. Headache is common.
The appetite is variable; at times
the patient eats a great deal and

he will have a fancy for clay, sand,
chalk, SCOT and sawdust. We used

The worm will live in the bowel for
eight or ten years unless the patient
is treated. Every worm in the bowel
has gone through the skin. Every
time we have ground itch little
colony of hookworms has started for
the bowel. Boys and girls all over
the State and often men and women
also go barefooted several months in
the year and are seldom without
ground itch.
IS THE DISEASE COMMON?
Dubini, an Italian physician, was
the first to discover the hookworm
in man. This was in 1854. In the
mines in certain parts of Germany
the disease played such havoc among
the miners that no man with hook
worm disease was allowed to work
until the disease had been cured.
In America the first hookworm
was discovered by DR. Stiles. of the
United States Marine Hospital serv-
ice, in 1902. When DR. Stiles made
the announcement that many of the
people throughout the South living
in small towns and in the country
districts were suffering with hook
worm disease the papers treated the
matter as joke and even the ply
sicians doubted that the disease was
common. Now anyone who doubts
that hookworm disease is the most
serious problem confronting the peo-
pie of the South, either has not in
vestigated the matter or is not open
to conviction.
WHERE THE DISEASE is FOUND IN THE
UNITED STATES.
The disease is found in all of the
Southern States. It is not found in
the northern part of the United
States because of the cold climate.
As rule, the disease is more COM
mon on sandy soil. In our State the
heaviest infection is in the lower
counties, and it grows lighter as we
go toward the northwestern part of
the State.
As yet we have not been able to
estimate the number of cases Of
hookworm disease in the State, but
we do know that the disease is much
more common than people think.
Last winter 10000 school children
attending rural schools were exam
ined and over 2O% of them had
hookworm disease. In the past few
months about 10000 cases of hook
worm disease have been treated in
this State.
THE AGE LIMIT.
There is no age limit. The disease
is more common between the ages
of five and fifteen, but it occurs in
very young children and in very old
persons. AS soon as children get old
enough to wear shoes all the year
and thus prevent ground itch, they
will gradually recover from the dis
ease unless they are severely infect
ed. 1t will be noticed that babies in
the country are usually healthy.
When they become large enough to
run about and catch ground itch,
they become pale and "puny" look
ing. They are pale or sallow and
have indigestion and other disturb
ances.
HOW THE DISEASE AFFECTS A PERSON
The symptoms of the disease vary
greatly. 1t may be so severe that
we can make diagnosis by glancing
at the patient, or it may be so mild
that the person appears healthy in
every way. In these cases we must
use the microscope to make dag
nosis. A small portion of the bowel
movement is placed under the mi
croscope. If the person has hook
worm disease the eggs of the worm
