he has knocked off four pounds since
he began training.

hood of 1873 pounds and be strong.
A conference will be had this after
noon on the referee question. Richie
is still opposing Harry Stout, one of
the licensed officials of the boxing
commission, and will probably be sue
cessful in his opposition. The COM
mission will select some Wisconsin
man, however, as the boxing law re-
quires that all fights be conducted by
man licensed by the fight body.

comiskey and Callahan Are Home
Feds Off to Spring Camp.

President Comiskey of the White
Sox, Manager Callahan and the local
players who circled the globe arrived
home this morning, rolling into Chi
cago at 9 O'Clock.
Commy, who has been il! during
the latter stages of the trip, appeared
to be on his way to complete recov-
cry, and declared he would be all
right after few days within sight of
the lake. What he needs is rest, and
it is doubtful if he will go to Califor-
mia to meet the athletes who draw
pay from him. ,..-
Neither Comiskey or Callahan had
much to add to the accounts of the
trip they gave out in New York. They
still have one more banquet to go
through tomorrow night before the
trip officially closes. 49,. .-
Callahan was undecided just when
he would start west. He had reports
from Kid Gleason, and was satisfied
with the work of the peppery little
assistant manager, He feels that he
can trust Gleason to get everything
possible out of the spring trainers.
Jim Scott may not remain for the
banquet tomorrow night The Elk
Shooter was notified that his brother
had died suddenly in California and
wanted to go west as soon as pos
sible.
Buck Weaver and the rest of the
athletes appeared in excellent con-
dition and said they were ready to go
right to work. They will be sent on
to California in couple of days.
Joe Tinker and his Federal Leag-
uers will be in camp at Shreveport to-
night, and hard work will begin for
the players tomorrow morning. The
train that pulled out last night over
the l. C. was regular spring train
ing special, and the athletes were all
likely looking workmen.

That hoo5worm disease is response
BILE for lack of progress in many
country schools; that 1t can be
eradicated, and that the rural schools
are now taking the lead in the move
ment to destroy this and other handi-
caps to good health, are some Of the
conclusions of bulletin by DR.. John
A. Ferrell on Rural School and
Hookworm Disease" just issued for
free distribution by the United States
bureau of education.
"Hookworm disease is one of the
most prevalent, most insidiously
harmful, and most completely pro-
ventable diseases known to man. y
declares DR.. Ferrell. 1T causes hu-
man suffering and economic waste
altogether out of proportion to its
apparent death rate. Many Ills that
have been attributed to mental and
moral weakness of whole bodies Of
people are now definitely known to
be due to this infection, and curable
with its cure. It's eradication Is one
of the most important and pressing
problems before the people of the
southern half of the United States
and of other semitropical lands.
I'm comb6ting hookworm disease 1t
has been found that the rural school
is the greatest medium for the spread
of the infection and the most i'm
portant protective agency against 1t.
In some schools investigated the in
lection has been found to be 100 per
cent.-the teacher and every pupil
a victim of the disease. Records IT
the International Health Commits
sion show an average infection
among rural children of school age
for whole counties running as high
as 70 to 90 per cent. while in some
sections of Virginia, Kentucky, North
Carolina, Tennessee, Arkansas and
other States the disease is less wide
spread, with 10 per cent. or less of
the school population infected with
worms. The general average for all
the children examined to date is 10
per cent of infection.

Rural Schools and Hookworm Disease

whence the injection comes that the
remedy must also come. The meas
ures necessary for permanent control
of hookworm disease are health SUI
pervision, health instruction and per-
feet sanitation. The rural school can
aid in health supervision; 1t can sup
plement and drive home health in
structiou, and above all it can teach
good health and clean living by being
itself a model Of sanitation for the
community. No matter how energetic
a national or State campaign for erad-
ication may be; no matter how many
cases of hookworm disease are cured
for the time being, unless the school
and the community maintain a con-
stant vigilance in behalf of positive
control of hookworm or any other dis
ease transmitted by soil pollution
will be impossible.
"Hookworm disease, like typhoid
fever. is due to careless disposal of
human excretia. Once schools and
dwellings in country districts are pro-
vided with sanitary privies of one
type or another. there will be little
danger from hookworm.
"A study of the hookworm problem
has shown the need OF not only san
itary privies, but the need OF more ad-
equate sanitary supervision by COM
petent medical officers. There should
be In every community a capable su-
perintendent of health. devoting his
whole time to public health work.
Frequent and systematic instruc-
tion by the public schools in the ele-
ments of personal and community
hygiene is necessary for permanent
control of disease. When the citizens
of community are taught from early
childhood the necessity for the care
of health. they will need no urging
to provide expert health supervision
and sanitary privies in every COM
munity.
1.-THE campaign against hookworm
disease is a campaign OF education,
and 1t is right that it should be waged
in the public schools"

Orange and Celery Salad

Take the peel and white skin from
some ripe oranges, cut them into
rather thick slices and divide these
into two or four portions according
to the size OF the fruit. Put the
pieces of orange into a salad bowl

been cut into small pieces and
masked with some sauce made ae-
cording to the directions given be-
low. Garnish the salad with cress
and, If practicable, place it on ice
for "a short time before it is served.
For the sauce. put the yolks of
two raw eggs into a basin, add a.

Mrs. Chester AinsWorth attached
herself TO me, and for an hour I had
10 listen while she chattered Ike a
magpie about the glory Of former

She's the one woman who keeps an
accurate social diary. She can tell
you without a moments hesitation
who was married the first Wednesday

The fact that fewer Engagements
have been announced this season than
ever before in the annals of society
seems to bother her.
My dear, 1t is positively appalling
the number Of really good men who
are bachelors in our set. What is the
matter with you girls?"
She set me to thinking though I've
often wondered why SO many splendid
men remain bachelors.
Il is the general belief that this is
an age Of selfEhness. Many men and
women do not seem willing to make
the sacrifice for the little love god
that they did in past generations. He.
is pushed into the background by the
ego and its demands.
The girl Of today is considered 70 be
| frightfully extravagant, and many a
man shrinks from the idea Of paying

constantly appearing in new froeks

Hats and Headaches

A hat that weighs more than four
ounces will cause brain fatigue. One
prominent society woman has her
hats weighed before she buys them
though conveniences for weighing
them are mot among the ordinary
equipment of the average millinery
store. 1t is not generally known, per-
haps, that the pressure of a hairpin
or a hatpin on the head will result in
violent headaches.
The hat with wire frame and
nothing but lace and flowers on top
a hat which might be termed a "cre-
ation''-has the singular faculty Of
causing headaches. 1t may be some
ime before the wearer discovers that
when she wears the hat a length Of
the wire frame presses down upon
her head, hardly enough to be no.
ticeable. When the wire is bent so as
to relieve the pressure the trouble Is
