lob for Actors.

"one class of persons with whom

managers OF department stores" said

for foorwalkers. II men hanging
around here looking for work would
take that kind of job not many Of
them would need to be Idle.
Managers in city shops offer them
places, and country storekeepers write
and telegraph for them. Actors make
ideal foorwalkers. They are graceful,
they are suave. they know how to

But II Is as much as q mans life
is worth to mention such job to the
average actor. His pride is precious

hungry than work In store in New

Enough OF Precious STUFF for

An eastern college professor was
lecturing on radium.
'Radium is so valuable he de-
clared, that most small laboratories

country which do not possess any radi-

fore several hundred students in this
discussion he took the small piece OF
paper on which the radium was, lying
and poured the precious grains back
into their especially prepared recep-

from the paper. thereby causing his

his seemingly exaggerated frugality.

DR.. Fly In Town

The lecture on hookworm disease
and sanitation delivered by DR.. 7.
M. Fly at the Methodist church
Friday night was well attended by
citizens from Evening Shade and
the surrounding country.
Dr. Fly said in part that hook
worm disease is one of the COM
monest diseases Of the south and is
spread entirely by carelessness on
the part of those infected. The
hookworms live in the intestinal
canal of the human being and there
lay eggs in countless numbers.
These eggs do not hatch inside the
body, but must be elected from the
patients bowels and then hatch in
the presence of atmospheric oxy-
gen.
After the eggs are deposited in
the privysor, as is more often the
case around the rural schools and
homes outside the privy, because
most schools and homes in the rur-
al communities are not provided
with any type of privy, they hatch
into a tiny worm, too small to be
seen by the naked 'eye. This tiny
worm develops into the infesting OF
encysted stage of the worm in six
or seven days after the time 1t en-
erGes from the shell of the ege
Then II is ready to penetrate the
skin of any human being that may
be exposed to 1t,
OF course the greatest number OF
cases of skin infection will occur In
that part of the skin oftenest eX'

little worms are living, lying In wait
for a victim Hence the cause Of

majority of those who live the
shoeless life and wade in branches
and cesspools and slush, which re-
ceive drainage from insanitary
privies or insanitary school grounds,
which contain among other aGen-
cies, the hookworm larvae.
The common househy also is a
most active agent in the broadcast
dissemination of filth and disease.
They visit the carcasses of dead an
imals the vile smelling privies, and
all other places that afford them
filth, But they do not confne their
visits to these places, They visit
our dinner tables, bringing filth and
disease directly to us. No one
should be careless enough to afford
a breeding place for flies and then
feed them at his own dinner table,
Certainly no thinking man can
misunderstood the intent Of this
campaign, 1t has for its primary,
intermediate and ultimate object
the same purpose in view, viz; the
cessation or limiting of the spread
of transnissable diseases.
DR.. Fly hopes that the legislators
from Sharp county will favor the

ture that will provide some reason
