Hookworm disease is essentially a
southern and rural disease. | don't
mean to say that the worms are re-
spector of persons. 1t is a rural dis
ease because conditions there favor
the spread of the disease.
1t is found in all parts of the world
where conditions of climate and soil
which favor the development of the
parasite are found. 1t decreases in
frequency as the more temperate
climates are reached, and is not often
seen in regions were rigid winters
prevail.

1t is desired to impress upon the
readers Of this article that the descrip-
tion of Hookworm Disease above given
applies to many cases in Tennessee.
Public health is public wealth, so it is
time to wake to a realization to the
fact that we are suffering from the
deletereous effects of this preventa-
BILE disease upon our children and
young men and women.
1t can be said with proof at hand,
that there are many cases Of hook
worm in Tennessee of sufficient malig-
nifty to make Intellectual much of the
effort of our teachers, and much of
the expenditure of money in our
schools, and much Of the labor on our
farms.
Hookworm disease is preventable
disease. When we recall the fact
presented heretofore in this article
that the worms do not multiply i'll the
bowel, but that the. eggs are dis
charged with the normal movements
from the bowel, and hatch out after
being deposited upon the ground, tits
apparent that if we prevent soil pol
luton we will prevent hookworm dis
ease. \
1t is spread as a result of the care
less disposal of fecal matter by in
fected persons and if people will con-
sent to construct and to use sanitary
closets, hookworm disease can be
stamped out Of existence.

About three and one-half years ago
Mr.. Jno. D. Rockefeller gave 1,000,-

worm disease. He is now proposing
to give $l,O00,00Ooo to continue the
work.

gagged in this work: Alabama, Arkan-

more trouble than in a person who
only had a dozen hookworms.
The symptoms in a severe case are
as follows: Paleness, the skin has a
muddy translucent appearance, hair
is dry and dead, mucous membrane
pale, the patient has dropsy, short
ness of breath and heart complication,
as irregular rapid action, ground itch,
dew poison or toe itch, some eat dirt,
paper, charcoal, chalk, salt, pepper,
rags, sticks, ETC.; patient is small to
his age, slow to learn, no energy, is
spoken of as beng lazy; he is really
sick and not lazy. The face may wear
an expression of anxiety or one of
marked stupidity unchanged by any
sort of occurrence. If a boy he never
has very much beard and what he has
never appears until late. If a girl
she may not take on those changes
characteristic of womallhood until she
is 20 or 25 years old. Headache and
dizziness are common, joint pains are
often complained of, mental lassitude
is frequently noted and children may
be very timid and emotional.

Iured to Destruction.

The inhabitants of the Scilly islands
in the old days looked upon the oc
currence of a wreck as a blessing Of
providence, and stories are extant
about thanks being offered for a wreck
In various parts of the country.
Some Of the stories told US by the
islanders themselves, says Country
Life, show that there was an almost
diabolical cleverness in the way in
which the storm tossed mariner was
lured to destruction. For example, 1t
was common to burn false lights, that
were calculated to bring the ships on
the rocks instead Of warning them
away. and worse. even. than this was
done.
There was at one time a gang Of
wreckers, who, when a storm was
brewing, fastened a bright light to the
horns Of a COW and sent her to Craze
along the cliffs. to the bewilderment
and deception of the sailors. Needless
to say. this spirit has entirely changed
now.
