Chenopodium is found in the Levant and in the Islands of Java and Sumatra. It is believed also that it is native of Brazil as the Indians for many years have been in the habit of boiling a somewhat similar weed to make a connection for the cure of anemia.

the physical health of the laoorers of the district will be increased by 50 per cent, while in many instances there will be an increase of as much as 400 per cent. in the crop output.
 The cost of this work will be borne by the Rockefeller Foundation, the Brazilian government only being asked to enforce such sanitary laws as are the necessary concomitant of a successful campaign of this sort. A campaign of education among the people themselves will also be waged by which means will be taught the necessity of the practice of the or dinary laws of hygiene. This is the first movement of the sort ever started in South America. and, If successful, will be tried out in many of the other republics.

ROCKEFELLER ID AID
 HOOK WORM BATTLE:
Brazil Decides to Accept Offer
 Of Assistance T.

(Correspondence of the Asso. Press). authorities of the State of Rio de Janeiro announced today that they would accept the offer of the Inter- national Health Board of the Rocke feller Foundation which proposes to cooperate with the Brazilian govern ment in a campaign to be waged against the hook work. It is es- timated that hundreds of thousands from the effects of this parasite which is sapping their vigor and decreasing the crop output by at least 100 per
 cent.
 pr. Lewis Wendell Hackett of Har-
 yard university who is one of the staff
 of physicians sent out by the Founda-
 tion arrived here from New York a
 short time ago and as a result of
 his conferences with the authorities
 here the announcement of the cam
 paign was made. This is of particu-
 lar interest to the planters of the
 State of Sac Paulo, where three
 quarters of the coffee crop of Brazil and nearly one-half of that of the world is grown.
 A coffee plantation is one of the greatest known breeders of the hook worm. The trees grow on a very wet soil in a rolling or hilly country, and as they require shade the ground underneath is in a continuous soggy condition. Here the dangerous worm propogates with great rapidity and is introduced into the systems of the humans through the bare feet of the crop pickers and cultivators.
 Symptoms of Disease. The symptoms of the disease caused by the presence of this worm are pro- nounced anemia with the inability of the laborer to work more than three
 or four hours out of the "A. The economic aspect of the scourge has appealed to the planters who are los ing much through the short hours and poor quality of the labor. Dr. suits of th> campaign waged by the United States throughout Porto Rico duced the labor output enormously

L0WDEN'S CANDIDACY

The attention of the colored vot-
ers, in particular, is called to the
candidacy of Frank O. Low den,
for governor. Mr.. Lowden has
been conducting a dignified cam
paign; has always been liberal in
his employment, and is connected
with an enterprise, the Pullman
Car Co., which gives more employ
ment to colored people, no doubt,
than any other one business. His
managers have been fair in distri-
buting political advertisements a.
mong the colored newspapers and
giving colored people a chance to
work in this campaign. For these
and other reasons, we commend
him to the voters of Illinois and
believe he will be fair and just
man to to all, should he be hon.
ored to sit on the throne. ;"

fly off the handle and treat the
the poor servant man so mean that

lowed, and the debts are paid, and
the editor and readers are all at
rest. Amen.

And does it quite gladly,
And casts round the Office
A halo of cheer,

SHERMAN VS. GOMPERS

United States Senator Sherman
in the Senate last week, in sen
sational vitrolic speech, branded
Gompers the supposed leader and
champion of the American Fed
Grafton of labor, as a public nui-
sance," and declared among other
things; that Gompers was forum
ate in not having been indicted
with the McNamaras and others
in the conspiracy to blow up the
Los Angeles Times building a
few years ago. Sherman also chal-
lenged Gompers to debate Comp
ers, in a hot retort, says he will
accept the challenge.
Senator Sherman has no good
will for man of Mr.. Gompers'
stripe. Gompers used his intiu-
ence and high Office, in 1914, to
defeat Sherman for the U. 5.
Senate, but with the aid of Ray
mond Robins and the rest, failed
Gompers said, you have endeay-
ored to call me before partisan po-
litical tribunal and and to convict
of divers crimes, even without
trial. You then advocate pitiless
publicity and challenge me to an
swer like a MANI | accept your
challenge and will meet you in any
public forum that you may desig-
nate, whether in Washington or in
the Metropolis of the state you
represent, in order that the people
may be given a chance to judge as
to the justice of your attack and
as to the wisdom of the political
policy of the American Fedora
tion of Labor" -
Senator Reed, of Missouri, later,
before the August body, attempt
ed to depend Gompers and read
ais challege. Sherman replied that
he debated with his peers only,
and that he (Sherman) detested the
American skunk not as much as
he did Gompers.
Gompers is awfully wrought up
but he has met one of the ablest
debaters and parliamentarians, in
the person of Sherman, since the
days of Calhoun, Clay, Douglas
and Lincoln. Sherman will tear
the last feather from the dead
carcass of Gompers and fling the
decomposed parts to the bu2zards
of the forest. The result of the
Sherman attack on Gompers will
be carefully watched.

If any one thinks that the Negro
has given up in his struggl lie to
make for himself a large place of
usefulness in American life, let
him read the record of the Negro
in the colleges of the country as
presented in a recent issue of the
Crisis. 1t is quite true that there
are not more than 5000 colored
students in the college departments
of all the colleges in the country
and that only $50 received college
degrees during the last commence
ment seasan, but this small per-
centage shows the mind of the
race and something of its convic-
ton as to higher training. Near
ly every great institution of the
country had one or more Negro
students, Harvard, Yale, Colum-
bia, University of Chicago, Uni
versity of Illinois, Dartmouth,
Oberlin, the University of Michl-
gan, WELLESLEY, Radcliffe, Wesley
an, and many others know some
thing of the ability and character
of the Negro through representa-
tive students who have graduated
during the recent commencement
season.
In many instances the Negroes
carried off the prizes. William
H. Haynee, who graduated from
the University of Chicago, went
on the winning debating team a
gainst the University of Michigan
and also won the prize in the Jul
ius Rosenwald's oratorical contest

Knee Deep.
Somewhere in Texas.
August 26, 1916.

Dear Girl:
Do you remember how
the frogs in the old pond, near the
cemetery, used to cry Knee deep!
knee deep! knee deepp of afternoon
and evenings9 Of course, you do.
Well, | feel just like one of those
long legged rascals today, for we
are truly knee deep in mud. sup.
pose you read in the paper about
those storms down here. We broke
Camp early Friday morning and
started on the march to Leon
Springs, some thirty miles away.
We certainly looked good when we
started out, full brigade, with
every man stepping Just right to
the music of the three bands but
alter the first five miles we com
menced to feel the heat, the lack of
water, and the singing insects.
Finally Y in the afternoon we stopped
at Ten Mile Hill for our evening
meal, but some of our boys called
it Ten Mile H-ll." just as we
we're in the midst of the evening
meal, the rain came down, and rain
ed increasingly the rest of the
night After raining an hour or
so, terrific tail end' windstorm
came straight from the Gulf and
proceeded to tear up tents, and to
play havoc in general. After mid
night we found the air so cool as
to make it uncomfortable but in
spite of our earnest endeavors our
attempts at firmaking were baffled
by the dampness. So we sat or
stood, in the mud and water, until
dawn broke gray and barren. |
think that was the most miserable
night of all my life. Out of mud
and memories, we faced the rising
sun and started on the last length
of our journey arriving in Camp
at Leon Springs about 4 p. M,
August 10Th exactly two months
after the call for mobilization.
We are as ignorant of our fate
after our encampment ends here,
as we are of the Fate of the Deutch-
land. The chaplain is reported to
have said in church last Sunday
that we would be back ON State,
St., in another two weeks. | can't

certainly would have the advantage
of me, if they got in my stomach.
