But aye provides for all our needs
and every promise keeps.

orders against the use of intoxicants in

1t is therefore argted that those re-
naming at home snould be willing to
make the same sacrifice in defense of
the nation.
Lloyd George, as well as Lord Kiteh.
ener, realizes that restrictions as to
the use of liquCG cannot be enforced
against any one class of people. If
the labor element is to be denied liquor
then the order must include all others,
or charges of discrimination and conse-
quent troubles are certain At the same
time it is drunkenness among the work
ers in factories which is causing the
government the greatest worry, owing
to the shortage Of ammunition, and it
is these workers who must be reached
first.
Since the outbreak of the war drink
ing among English women has con-
stantly increased, and in addition to
the benefits to be derived from prohib-
ition among the working classes it is
pointed out that the evil among women,
admittedly a menace to England's fu-
ture generations, would be removed.
There was every indication today
that rhe country would give the cabinet
loyal support if the conclusion is reach
ed that the success of England in the
war depends upon the country going
4" dry
Dispatches from Amsterdam indicate
that Germany, too is throttIing liquor.
1t is reported that the German council
has passed an Ordec permitting the au.
thorities Of each starc to use this dis
cretion in limiting or prohibiting the
sale Of intoxicants.
Government officials here are frank
ly not concerned themselves with the
moral effects prohibition may have up.
on England. They are considering it
solely from an economic standpoint.
They believe the country would be the
gamer financially by shortening the
war through more efficient work of the
factories producing war supplies, thus
enabling the armies to press the cam
paign against the Germans to con.
clusion.
The financial gains to the govern.
ment brought about in this way would
more than offset the loss of revenue
from the liquor traffic and the amount
it is certain the government would pay
the liquor manufacturers and dealers
in. compensation for wiping out their
industry.
Most of the newspapers agree that
drastic steps must be taken. They dis.
played prominently today an official
report from Petrograd announcing the
remarkable increase of deposits in saw.
ings banks since the ban was put upon
vodka in Russia.
The papers declare the government
will have the undivided support of the
labor leaders Of the country if Great
Britain becomes "dry."

THE H0OKWORM.

1t developes that the Rockefeller Hookworm Commits
sion has undertaken not only nationwide but world
wide enterprise in which it has enlisted the cooperation
of the states and nations
commission which has been investigating the hook
worm disease in Texas reports that 30 per cent of children
in the closely covered were found to be infected
The inquiry covered an area Of $4,000 square miles
with 100000 inhabitants. Even among the children of
the towns the disease is found prevalent to a striking eX-
tent 1t has been commonly regarded disease con-
fined to the country districts.
There is no longer any uncertainty about the disease
its cause its treatment its cure The only remaining
problem is to get the cheap and necessary cure to the vic
TINS and to induce them to take it.
Its now thoroughly known that far greater number
OF people suffer from hookwom than ever did from small
poX and that the economic loss from hookwom is greater
than from any other easily preyentabe trouble
Not since quinine discovered as the greatest spe-
cc in The category of medicine has there been any such
effective crusade as that now being scientifically waged
against the hookworm.
The hookwom affects the tropical and subtropcal re-
gons clear around the world embracing large majority
Of Che worlds population.
