Little Rock, Oct. 5.-For the quar-

worm commission at work in Arkan-
sas reports that there was total Of
6463 examinations made, of which
S95 were found to have some kind OF
intestinal parasites, there being 13s
cases of hookworm.
During that period the campaign
was carried on in the following Coun-

shown in each: Crittendent, 1919.
Drew, IS; Greene, 1873; Madison, 6;
Marion, 25.3: Montgomery, 1873: Scott
81; Polk, 1919; Van Buren,, 1863; Chi

total of $6O.555.39, for the prevention
and eradication of the hookworm
disease. The work is being received
with great cordially all over the
state. DR.. c. w. Garrison, in charge
Of the campaign, with three field men,
is receiving frequent calls from coun-

better sanitary condition throughout
the state, and is teaching the people
that sanitation is one of the first es~
senials to health.

Steel Orders for r.. s.

Pittsburgh, Pa, Oct. each day
witnesses a growth in the number OF
small orders for steel from the other
side, the results of the European war.
Among the orders are one from
France for 10000 saddles, and the
same number of brides; an order for
1000 tons of reinforcing bars for
shipment to Buenos Ayres; another
for several thousand tons of steel bill
lets for export to England, and others
for many thousands of kegs of horse
shoes, nails and calks. A feature
growing out of the war is that certain
kinds of steel, which is supposed
could be secured only in Belgium, can
be manufactured, and at less cost, in
this country.

The reports of Colonel Roosevelt's

THE RAT is MANS
WORST ENEMY

A writer in the Technical World
Magazine makes the statement on
what seems to be authority that there
are five rats for every human being
in the United States, or 500,000,000
rats. They all eat, and what they
eat is less than what they destroy.
On basis Of weight, allowing two
pounds to the rat and q hundred
pounds to the average person the
rats weigh one tenth as much as the
people; and without any allowance
for waste by rats their maintenance
costs us tenth as much as our own
food. The rat is the most destruc.
tive Of all beasts. II any animal ever
gets the upper hand Of the human
race on this earth it will be the rat.
They are demons of cunning. and
can live in any climate.
