more popular with the boys than with

Though oft disparagcd and maligned
We hail you, little TOPPER,
While other birds in song are proud.

With aught of boon or blessing.
Thy dowdy dress is scarcely famed
For loneliness Of fashion.
Thy feeble note is i'll acclaimed,
We curse it in a passion.
And yet through all the livclong day
AS jaunty as skipper.
You hop and flutter on your way,
Forever bright and clipper.

And though no gown you're DOMINIC
You have a simple little creed
That men might well be coming.

H00KWORM INFECTION WIDE
SPREAD AMONG GUARDSMEN
Efforts VIII BE Made to Keep Pest from
EurODe.

Washington Aug 21.-Discovery Of
hookworm infection in AZ out Of IS
militia recruits recently mobilized for
war service has caused public health
service authorities to recommend prompt
examination Of all units Of the national
guard and national army at present
organized, especially those from the
warmer portions Of the country.
Prevalence Of hookworm was found
by DR.. Wardell Stiles of the public
health service at the government reser-
vation, where he is making investiga-
tions. Complaints Of a recruit Of not
feeling well after officers suspected him
of trying TO shirk his duty, resulted in
medical examination. Hookworm infec-
tion was found. Other examinations
showed high percentage Of hookworm.
Danger Of a widespread epidemic Of
hookworm in Europe is pointed out If
even light cases are sent TO the trench
es. Those dangers can be prevented
TO very great extent, DR.. Stiles SAYS.
If all the recruits or at least those from
certain states, are systematically exam.
ined for intestinal parasites and either
treated in the American training camps
or discharged as necessity indicates.
