PANAMA AFFECTED
 H0OKWORM DISEASE

PANAMA, May 28-The cabIed re- port that sixty per cent of the popula- tion of the Republic of Panama had been found affected with the hook worm disease by Dr. l.. w. Hackett, of the International Health Commits sion of the Rockefeller Foundation, Is interesting in other respects. The report indicates that of the adult pop ulation 67 per cent are affected while of the children, practically 79 per cent have the disease in a more or less pronounced degree.
 The report of Dr. Hackett is the re- suit of more than seven months fn- vestigation in all parts of the country. Ten thousand adults came under direct examination.
 Routine examination of the blood" 1" says the report, showed that a large majority of persons living in the in- terior of the republic are directly anemic, the average blood being on1y 59 per cent of normal, indicating a dangerous degree of lowered resist ance. Since the parislte affects the children most heavily, stunting their bodies and minds and causing them to fall an easy prey to other diseases. the figures reveal an alarming condi- ton existing among the rising genera tion, This state of physical debility is due to the complete absence of all sanitary equipment and regulation in both school houses and dwellings Tn the interior"
 The report shows that more than 5000 homes were visited and instruc- tive talks given to nearly 12,oo per. sons. Lectures were given in 1s schools. Three laboraties are now working in various parts of the re- public.

BENEFICIAL RESULTS
 TEMPERANCE IN RUSSIA

PETROGRAD, May 2S-A report on the resudlts of compulsory temper ance, as introduced into Russ,a since the results of the compulsory temper prepared by Professor A. l.. Mendel- son of the Russian Society for the Preservation of the National Health
 In the opinion of Prof MenGelson, the benifcial results of compulsory temperance are not open to doubt. Tn proof of his contention he cities the reduction of alcoholic sickness in Petrograd and of the attendance at anti-alcoholic sanitariums, the de- cline in the number of cases or dipso- mania and alcoholic insanity, ana also of general mental affections. He notes also a reduction of indirect mani festatons of alcoholic sickness, of traumatic injuries and suicides. For example, from July to December there were in 1913 ninety seven suicides, while in 1914 the total was reduced to IA.
 Other results of temperance, says the Professor, were an increase In savings banks deposits and reduction in the number of small loans made by the pawn shops. For the first two months of 1915 the savings banks of Petrograd received deposists exceed ing the figures of the corresponding months a year ago by one-and.a-half million roubles, while throughout Rus sia the deposits increased by a hun dhred million rOubles.
