New Record
Made
States Hookworm work Ex-
ceiling That of any Pre-
viouS Year.

N'0"iiiohi, va, August -
New records are being made so
rapidly in the States hook
worm dispensaries that officers
of the State Board of Health
have ceased to regard them
further than to note that the
State is doing more against the
American murderer" than at
any previous time and has
treated more cases this summer
than ever before.
With the beginning of the
spring, the State relieved its
hookworm inspectors of work
in the public schools and had
them open t h e dispensaries
which have proved such n val
liable feature of the campaign
for the eradication of hook.
worm disense. DR.. X. f. Mil.
Ter, who held the record break
ing dispensary Of 1912, was
sent first to Appamattox county
where he proceeded to exam
inc more than thirty percent of
the total population of the
county, thereby setting Il now
mark DR.. Miller then opened
n dispensary in Hanover coun-
ty, where Investigation showed
n surprisingly high percentage
of the people afflicted with the
disease More than 1000 were
treated before DR.. Miller was
dispatched TO Prince Edward to
treat hookworm in dispensaries
there.
DR.. W. y Brumtield, the il
spector for the western part Of
the State, has been employed
all the summer in the far Sonth-
west. lie has held very sue
cessful dispensary in Wise
county and is now doing IA great
work in Lee county. Il is ex-
pectcd that his record in that
county will equal the remarku-
BILE showing made in Caroline
and App0mattoX by Or Miller.
In addition to the work of
these inspectors, the State has
DR.. q \. l.. Kolmcr ut work in
Surry where he reports deep in
terest and very general cooper
alton.
An interesting feature Of this
summers work as reported i'm
Il special bullentin of The Board
OF Health, issued today, is the
fact that in every county where
the dispensaries have been OPP
Grated this year, the county
authorizes have made appropri-
utions To aid in the work. With
out exception they have donat-
ed at least 500 towards the
cost of medicine aud are up
holding the health inspectors in
every way possible.
"The cooperation of he
county authorities" says the
bulletin of the Board, is the
most hopeful single factor in
the campaign nov beng waged
against hookworm disease.
This means that the popular
disbelief in the ravages of this
disease has given place TO a
sincere understanding of the
menace it is. Hookworm di-
sease will be eradicated gust as
rapidly ns this spirit < e t 5
abroad in the State. "

CLEANLINESS OF BASEBALL
 SPORT.


 THE recent worlds baseball series
 between the teams of New York
 and Philadelphia was an exhi- bition of the cleanliness of baseball as a sport in the United States, notwith- standing it's commercialism. The re ceipts at the last game exceeded $75,- 900. and the average receipts per game for the five games almost amounted to that sum.
 Had the contest continued for two games more the receipts would have been augmented by approximately $150,00O. Had the managers been thinking more of the box-receipts than of sport that could very easily have been arranged. The sacrifice of that $l5O,OOO is very conclusive evidence that baseball is worthy of perpetration as the National sport of Americans.

teaches all manner Of sin may be

he that sinleth against the Holy

The State Board Of Health of
New: Yorl. has made a remarka.
bic record in the reduction of
the death rate Of children under

The figures for the last ten
years are almost unbelieveao'e,

in New York towns in the way Of
establishing pure milk stations

tributes the reduction in the
death rate chiefly to the fact that
these simple rules have been din

Give the baby pure air. day ani

Give it no food but mother
