your future Christmas re
sSES& membrane would hC com
pleted il ample time, and IN
der 10 circumstances would the next
christmas season End you in a rush
a~and hustle. planning and finishing be
lated Christmas gifts. What an Idle
dream that was. for here it is Christ
mas time approaching again, and you
are racking your brain and attempting
10 decide what to give at The eleventh
hour, in a great hurry and turmoil
isn't it so?
What not to give, would be more
appropriate phrase. For in the seiec-
ton of your gifts some regard has
to be given to the adaptability and the
utility Of the present. A wise idea is
10 spend more time than money in
thinking what would be suitable and
practicable for each individual. Your
gift would be all the more appreciated
if il expresses something Of yourself
and shows that your own personal
thoughts have been bestowed upon q
selection of the tokens.
The real essence of the Christmas
spirit is net expenditure. How easy
it is to purchase gorgeous gifts II one
has a well filed purse! But if the re-
cipient can buy the same article with
little effort, the gift idea will not be
remembered fer very long. Let your
gifts be expressions Of love and
thoughtfuluess. The thought and time
you put in gifts Of your own handi-
work VIII mean much more than If
you simply give something for the
sake Of giving.
The cost of homemade gifts is gen
orally small a multitude of gifts can
be contrived of materials you have at
hand, and Of odd pieces of linen, RIB
bons and silk. Clever fingers can
fashion charming novelties. Gladness
is the keynote of the Yuletide season
60 at your tasks in a cheerful blth
some manner, and you will find your
work one of Joy. The following sug.
gestions may provide you with numer'
GUS, ideas for attractive gifts, which
may be made inexpensively.
With little effort dainty sachets to
perfume your friends gowns may be
made at a very small cost. Make six
sachets in pastel shades of satin rib,
bon about two inches square. Fill
with soft cotton busted with some
fragrant sachet powder. Place the
sachets one ON top of the other and
tie with narrow ganze ribbon. Gilt
safety pins are attached to each
sachet so the bags can be pinned on
the different frocks.
One distinct novelty is a colonial
pin cushion. For this unique cushion
you will have to purchase glass can
dlestick in a simple design. Cover
one side of four-inoh square of card
board with some pretty silk which
harmonizes with the color scheme of
your friends bedrooms. Form a
mound-like cushion Of cotton on the
other side and cover with the silk.
The cushion is fastened TO the candle
stick by fine wires or thread. Around
the edge of the cushion sew a beaded
fringe about three inches long.
Another pin cushion has for the
foundation four-inch wire tea strain
er. The back is fitted with disk of
cotton covered in cretonne. The wire
part is lined with lowered cretonne
and filed with cotton. Wind the han

Tho First Gas Tubes.

William Murdoch, a Scottish mining
engineer, appears to have been the first
to suggest that gas might be conveyed
In tubes and used instead Of lampe
and candles. He made n very ingen-
ious gas lantern for himself, with
which he used to light his way over
the Cornish moors at night. This Ian
tern consisted Of bag filled with gas
and fitted with tube, at the end OF
which the gas could be lighted. Garry
Ing the bag under his arm, Murdoch
used to light his way home at niefG.
On meeting any one he would give the
bag squeeze and thus send out q long

The existence of hook-worm dis

county where careful investiga-

proven, and the only question at
present is the degree of infection.
This is being determined by a syS

and have sacrificed their general
medical practice to devote their
time, strength and talent to the
eradication Of this one disease.

over the South are agitating this
cause, and an appeal to every
public spirited citizen, as well a.
the doctors, teachers, preachers
Tie press and all organized agcn-
cies for their cooperation, is being
made.
Being a preventable disease,
with the cause known and the cure
assured, the health authorities are
pleading daily for sanitary envir-
onments around the house, the
school and the community. Tn
til one year ago this State was
considered too far North for the
disease to flourish, but systematic
investigation in one hundred and
two counties has proven a thirty
two per cent infection. The work
in Jefferson county during the
of December and January
has resulted in nearly three thou

ed with proper treatment, without

The public appreciates this waltz
able work, and those who have
been treated and become cured
are very enthusiastic that the
work shall continue until the ell
tire county and State be examin-
Cd and the disease eradicated.
Hook-worm disease is no re-
spector OF persons; the richest
and the poorest; the old and the
young; male and female, and all
races. The parasite known as
hook-worm is about one-half inch
in length and is found in the soil
v here infected persons stool. The
female worm is supposed to lay
iron four hundred to one thou
sand eggs in day, and these ova
pass cit of tn. ID .dy with the
!c,ts. II deposited on soil expos
c. TO sunshine a-i moistu e. the
eggs develop into lavae; these
soon become mature and any per
son who comes in contact with the
polluted soil may become infected
by the parasites boring their way
through the skin into the circu-
lation. Once in the blood current
they are carried on until the small
intestines are reached and this be-
ilg their proper habitat they en-
bed their hooks into the mucou:
membrane lining and begin their
destructive work.
Flies, also, may carry the in
lection through food and water
into the body, as typhoid bacilli is
carried. Should the lavae become
dried they cannot be revived and
are harmless.
The life time of a hook-worm is |
seven years. Each worm is sup
posed to sap drop of blood cash |
day, and to also manufacture a
toxin which poisons the blood. |
Often the intestines become vi, |
cerated where the hooks are i'm
planted. Cases have been found |
where the small intestine is CON
pletely fringed with the parasites
The symptoms of this disease
very according to the degree of in
lection. Anemia is the most pro-
nounced symptom; swelling in
one or more parts of the BODY
skin irritation caused by the
worms passing through the skin;
this is usually known as toe-itch,
dew-poison, eczema, etc, which
may be a misnomer; low vitality,

distended abdomen, dilated pu-
pills, pale and sometimes blue

AANlllOSiODliis
From one to three properly ad-
ministered does OF Thymol pro-
iuces a cure. The disease is rs
cd as the world, and in different
countries has different names. 1t
is supposed to have been brought
to the United States by the first
cargo OF African slaves, but at
present the infection is much
smaller among the negroes than
the white race.
AS the hook-worm is in the
feces, specimen of the feces from
a patient must be microscopically
examined to diagnose the case.
This small portion of the bowel
movement, no larger than grain
OF corn, is dissolved, strained
through gauze and centrifuged by
electricity, which drives the
worms on to the cork of the the
centrifuge tube; the cork is re-
moved and a smear from it is
made on a glass slide and placed
under the microscope, and the en-
tire field closely examined.
Besides the careful laboratory
work necessary, reports are made
to the physicians of the infected
patients. or to the individuals il
desired. Records of each case are
also kept in the office of the Coun
ty Health Officer.
AS hook-worm disease is a foe
&c progress it is worthy OF con
sideration from an economic
standpoint
During the month OF January.
five lectures have been given in
the Buchel and Fern Creek dis
tricts, and hundreds of specimens
have been examined and scores OF
irfected persons treated, as the
result. Stereopticon lectures have
also been given to the Industrial
School OF Reform. Institute for the
Blind, Lakeland Asylum and the
Louisville Presbyterian Orphan
age at Anchorage. as well as the
Baptist Orphanage. From these
various institutions came hun
creds of specimens, which have
been, and are now being eXamin-
ca in the county laboratory in the
Court House. and two Of the coun-
~ microscopes are still located
III the Lakeland Asylum. carrying
on that part OF the work.
To allow this investigation t.
drop, just as the interest is SO in.
tense and the citizens cooperating
0 heartily is a serious mistake and
IS being commented on by many
who know the true situation.
A large appropriation to this
work is not necessary, as it Isl
now on a solid foundation. but
unless the necessary fund is sup
piled the hook-work force will be
transferred to another county.
The economis loss from hook
worm disease is beyond belief, as
it induces low vitality and thus
progress. An infected
community is lacking in energy
and aggressiveness. The health in.
tcrest of community should be |
the first consideration. SO much
for the eradication of present in
lection. To guard against future
let every public spirited
man and woman contend for
strictly sanitary toilets at their
homes and the schools and COM
where children frequent.
Spring with its warmth and
moisture will give new impetus t.
he cause, and vigilance and
prompt action on the part of phil
lnthropists should keep pace
