.HOOKWORM LOSING BATTLE
FIFTEEN COUNTIES SAID TO BE
FREE FROM THE LAZY BUG.
City Counties Usually Show Least
Proportion of Gases. Fight for
determination Continues.

ATLANTA.-The state board of
health is making gratifying progress
in it's work of Graduating the hook
worm disease. Already it has been
practically eliminated i'm fifteen to
twenty counties, and the people have
been instructed how to prevent its
recurrence.
The work is under the direction Of
DR.. A. G.. Fort with a number of
field assistants. A county is asked
to make a small appropriation for
assisting in the work, and in every
case the commissioners have been
glad to do it. The amount is general
~ $3.50, and often some of this ap-
propriation is turned back to the
county treasury.
The work has just been completed
in Muscogee and Pierce counties, and
Muscogee showed the lowest percent
age of infection yet found anywhere
in the state. This is true generally
around the larger cities, where the
school children are given more to
wearing shoes and thus preventing
the infection.
In Muscogee out of Lib pesons
examined only 3O7 were found to be
infected. OF these 81 were given the
second treatment, the third, 5 the
fourth and the fifth, which COM
pleted the cure in all of the 3O7
cases. 1t was shown what improve
ments were necessary in order to re-
duce the possibility of infection, and
these will be carried out.
In Pierce county the extent OF the
infection was somewhat greater. Out
of 1871 persons examined Lila
were found to be infected. Of these
307 were given the second treatment,
Is the third and only one each the
fourth and fifth. The board of edu-
cation agreed to make such sanitary
arrangements as would aid in pre-
venting the spread of the disease.
These two instances are character
istic of the work the board is doing
throughout the state, which will re-
suit ultimately in the complete eradi-
cation of the disease.

On Steamship st. Louis.
Atlanta passengers on the Savan-
nah liner St. Louis tell of interesting
experiences with two women card
sharpers who were caught aboard
the boat coming South last week.
The two women were well dressed
and refined, and managed to get &C
quainted with the incest people on
the boat. In the bridge games which
followed, say Atlantans, it began to
be noticeable that the two women
always won. Then they got into a
couple of quiet poker games and
cleaned upon them, too. Finally
somebody caught the younger of the
danes pulling a jack off the bottom
of the deck to fill an ace-high full
house. Explanations, tears and re-
funds followed. AS the women agreed
to give back the money and no large
sums were involved the ship officials
were not called in and no arrests
were made.
