 In an interview with Dr. T. F. Bradford, of the Rockefeller Sanitary Commission, he says:
 We have made nearly one thousand microscOpical exami- nations in Jackson county, up to this date, for hook worm dis ease"
 This is only a minor prOpor- tion of the school children in this county.
 We trust this work will con- tinue in this county till every one takes advantage of this op- portunity to have his important work done.
 The doctor in charge of the work cannot visit every minute nook in the county, however much he would like to do so, and meet and talk personally with parents concerning this para sitic disease, but due notice and literature has been sent to every part of the county.
 We desire to call the atten- tion of our readers to this work, and urge them to take hold ot the first chance to have their children examined.
 The work of the State Board of Health is fundamental and our people will prosper by doing as advised by this board.
 If we are to perpetuate our free institutions, we must care for the development of our cit izens.
 We must begin to know that such diseases as hook worm dis ease, tuberculosis, typhoid fev- CT and malaria are preventable and that it costs less money to prevent these diseases than to attempt to cure them.

Liquor Case Up Again Today.


 Pine Bluff, March 16.-Coun- ty Judge C. M. Philpot has an- nounced that he will hear the se- cond liquor license petition in the County Court tomorrow. morning. He will take up the old liquor petition, which was considered early in January, but on which no decision was ever rendered, as it was withdrawn by the saloon men and a supple mental petition filed with it.
 Judge Grace in the Circuit Court today declined to act on the application of the prohibi- tionists that he issue a writ of prohibition against the County Court. He made this ruling on the ground that he has no iuris- diction.
 The old petition will, in all probability, be admitted by Judge Philpot with the addition al names. The liquor men say that this will give them a safe majority.
 The prohibition forces, who made so strenuous fight at the first hearing, are preparing to fight the petition again and de- clare that the amended petition does not contain a majority of signers. One wholesale liquor house-the M. Cans Company has already moved to Little Rock and a number of retail li- quor men and their employees have left the city. Those who remain, however, are confident that Pine Bluff will be wet for the remainder of the year.
