The hookworm has been preying on
man perhaps for thousands of years
A papyrus written 3,460 years ago con-
tains a description Of disease in
Egypt which many physicians declare
was the hookworm disease. 1t describes
it too accurately TO be anything else.
In recent times ii WINS observed in
Egypt first in 1883. but the first record
ed treatment was mnde In 1887.
Whether or not malaria was one OF
the chief causes of the downfall OF
Greece and Rome. it is very certain
that hookworm disease has played a
part in Asiatic history. The anemic
condition Of millions of people, century
after century, has profoundly affected
their economic life. their intellectual
qualities, their social habits and Ideals
and their religion. OF that there can
be no doubt Worlds Work.

Iris Speaker, the Red Sox middle
fielder, furnished the dramatic climax
in the contest where fortune played tickle
favor with first one and then the other
team.
The ninth inning found the Red Sox
and the Giants locked in tie score of
5 to 5. The Red Sox left handler, Col
Inns, had been driven from the box in
the eighth inning by shower of hits,
and Hall had been sent to relieve him
Merkle smashed out a three Dagger in
the tenth inning and the home club
host was in bloom when he scored on Il
sacrifice hit,
In the fading light, IL was difficult for
the Red Sox TO follow the course of
Mathewson's big drop, and New YORK
felt confident. Yerkes had been turned
back to the bench, and the big crowd
looked to Speaker. The trio of Giant
outer gardeners moved far infeld. Math-
ewson wound up and sent fast in
shoot UP to the plate. Speaker gave a
wicked swing and the ball was hurtling
far over Becker's head in center. Speak
err rounded first, then second. and raced
TO third The ball caromed from the
back fence and Becker seized it and
threw to Shafer, who juggled 1t. Speak.
err hesitated at third, then sped for the
plate and slid under Catcher Wilson
who juggled Skaters relay throw. That
tied the score and the crowd went wild
To make sure that he had touched the
plate, Speaker returned and touched the
plate second time before Wilson re-
covered the ball.
The Bostons took the jump in the first |
inning and scored three runs by hitting |
hard. but the Giants, undis-
mayed, fought back and by peppering
away at Collins delivery, picked up a
run In the second and another in the
fourth inning. Boston Tailed another
score in the fifth inning, but New York
was not to be denied ard when Duffy
Lewis dropped Snodgrass' fly, opening
the eighth inning, they started a batting
pee that caused Manager stahl to hur
y Hall to Collins relief. Three runs
we're already over the plate on an error,
/ single and two doubles, which gave
New York lead Of one run. The Giants
leld their lead but moment, for the
Red Sox attacked Mathewson's drop

,rror by Fletcher the tying run was
ent over the plate. Then came the ex
'iting tenth, with Merkle's hit anil

WAS KILLED BY GAS
IN BURLINGTON HOUSE
Henry A. Newton Found Dead in Bed
Yesterday-It Was Probably Due
to an Accident.

Burlington, Oct lO,--Henry A. New
| ton of Basin Harbor was found dead in
bed at The Elmwood' yesterday morn
! ing, having been asphyxiated by gas
| during the night, Death was undoubted
ly accidental, although there was sus-
picou at first that Mr.. Newton might
have committed suicide.
The discovery was made about 10
o'clock when a woman, who works about
the house, detected the odor of gas
coming from the room occupied by New.
ton, Officer Christopher Miles was noti-
fled and went TO the house at once. The
door of the room was locked from the
inside and it was impossible to force it,
so entrance was made through window
which opens on roof.
The dead man was in bed, his cloth
ing removed, and the bed clothes. tucked
around him. Near by was a magazine
which he had evidently been reading.
The gas jet, which was Of the naked"
kind, was about three.quarters turned
on. There wasn't any question about
Newton's being dead, and the authori-
ties were Immediately notified. Health
Officer DR.. c. +. Dalton, Chief of Police
Russell and City Grand Juror, S. II.
Moulton responded and made an inves-
tigation of the circumstances.
Whether the unfortunate man COM
mitted suicide or whether he blew out
the gas are circumstances not sscer-
tainable He came to the house Tues
day, engaged room and seemed to
keep to it most of the time. 1t is not
known just when he retired. He bad
considerably and this was
thought to he due from the effects of in
haling the gas. The man was fairly
well dressed and brought an overcoat
with him, but had no baggage. Three
letters in his pockets were each address
ed to Henry A. Newton, Il, F. D.
Route 3, Box "a. Vergennes, VT The
would indicate that he
was inquiring about remedy for deaf
ness. There were also found in the |
clothing a meerschaum cigar holder and
Sl3 in money. Appearance would indi-
cate the dead man was about 4S or so |
years OF age.
After an inquiry into the crcum-
stance OF Newton's death so far as
known, DIR. Dalton ordered the body re-
moved to Corbin's undertaking rooms.

of other lands. But instead of sere-
nades by moonlight and other delicate
ways of making an impression II Is
etiquette for the Japanese lover to APP
proach the dwelling of his lady bear
ing some choice plant in his hand,
which he boldly proceeds to plant In
the empty vase.
This takes place at a time when he is
fully assured that both mother and
daughter are at home, neither of whom,
of course, is at all conscious that the
young man is taking such liberty
with the iowerpot outside their win
dow. This act of placing a pretty
plant in the empty lowerpot is equiva-
lent to formal proposal to the young
lady who dwells within.
The youthful gardener, having set
tied his plant to his mind, retires. and
the lady is free to act as she pleases.
If he is the right man she takes every
care of the gift, waters 1t and tends IL
with her own hands. that all

cepted as n sutton. But If he Is not

DECLARES IDEAS INSPIRED

Finds Michigan Is Promising-He
Proposes as 1916 Issue Reu-
sion of Constitution.

New York, Oct. lo.-A lively cam
paign already is in progress in Connee'
tcut and Democrats are not inclined to
claim the state for Wilson, although
they hope for the reelection OF Governor
Baldwin. The Republicans have a
strong state ticket headed by Judge
John p. Studley of New Haven, who
seved several terms as mayor OF that
city. The objections to Governor Bald
win are set forth by leading politician,
and in brief are that "the governor has
done not one thing of prime Importance
to make conditions better in Connecti-
cut" The Bull Moose party is sure to
poll its full strength with so excellent
a candidate for governor as Herbert
Knox Smith.
The Republican tariff train followed

Burton devoted his speech to the tariff
and the high cost OF living He quoted
Governor Wilson, the historian, as Civ
ing the Republican party credit for re-
storing the prosperity OF the nation
after the panic of 1907. He declared the
tariff not responsible for the high cost
of living and called attention to the
higher prices all over the world,
The Bull Moose party, apparently con-
WINGED that success this year is impos-
sible, already is planning the campaign
of 1916, when the chief issue is to be re-
vision of the constitution, The idea il
expected to meet opposition, but Colonel
Roosevelt and his followers are prepar
ing to educate public opinion to favor
his plan. A special effort is to be made
to elect as many third-party members
of congress as possible. 1t is clear that
certain prominent Republicans who are
declaring that the constitution is in
danger have in mind this move of the |
third party.
Colonel Roosevelt yesterday was
journeying through the upper peninsula |
of Michigan and is much pleased with |
his journey. He says he believes the |
outlook for Progressives is bright in the !

Miss Nellie Schmidt of Alameda has
the distinction of being the first swim
mer, man or woman, to circle all four
of the Seal rocks near the Cliff House.
The difficulty of the feat lies in the
