also that this coal can DO shipped by
Louisville cheaper than by Cincinnati,

One of the symptoms OF hookworm
disease is an abnormal appetite for
certain things. Some of the more
severe cases and those which we

disease are to be found in the rural

les. The disease is contracted just

Loss from impaired Efficiency
The economic loss TO the country
from hookworm disease is tremendous
The efficiency OF the people. who are
chiefly engaged In agricultural and
mining pursuits. is impaired on the
average OF from 80 to 80 per cent.
In many cases the victim is unable
even TO take care of himself. much
less TO contribute to the support OF
the family. In other cases the work
ing efficiency is only slightly i'm
paired. The mind is affected or dull.
and the effect on the general moral
welfare OF the community is appal-
ing. Little progress is possible in edu-
cation and thousands OF children
never attend school at all. 1t would
be. indeed. useless for them to do SO,
as educating these poor victims whose
vitality is Slapped by this tiny para
site is out OF the question.

now on the way to Oahu on the
transport Thomas, has been received
at department headquarters, and the
disposition of the two companies OF
coast artillery and one signal corps
company at present on the high seas
has been tentatively decided by Gen

A cable .fnessage received herA last
Saturday afternoon stated that the
10th and 143rd companies of coast
artillery, Company e OF the signal
corps, and 900 recruits for the infan-
try. had been dispatched on the
transport, which is due to arrive here
next Saturday or Sunday.
me coming of the new companies
of coast gunners will make some
thing of a shake-up among the or
ganizations already here.
The 55th was recently designated
as mine company" said General
Funston this morning, "but one Of
the two now on the day, the 104th,
is regular mine company, and will
act as such here. The companies al
Notifications, so the plan is to make
the 55th and 143rd companies into
siege gun organizations. One of
these will be stationed at Fort Ru-
ger and the other at Fort Kamehame-
ha, and they will of course have to
go under canvas for the time being"
The plan, as outlined by General
Funston, will necessitate the trans
fer of the 55th company from its
present station at Fort De Russy to
either Kamehameha or Ruger. It
will become a siege gun company,
and be drilled with the 5-inch siege
guns and the howitzers with which
the 105th and 159th companies had
target practice at Sehofield Barracks
last year.
1t is the intention to send the sig
nal COMPANY to Fort Shafter for the

pany is bringing its horses and heavy
-stringing reels and equipment
along" said General Funston. "1f it
is it will complicate the problem of
finding proper station. Much OF the
equipment of signal company
would be needed only for work over
a very EXTENDED territory, where
many miles of telegraph and tele-.
phone lines have to be laid. Not all
of this is needed on Oahu, and /
rather hope the company has left
its heavy stuff behind"
Eight Companies Now.
With the arrival of the 104th and
14Srd companies, the coast defenses
of Oahu will be garrisoned by eight
companies of coast artillery, this be-
ing only two less than called for by
the plan of the general staff for the
