POPULAR MEDICINE

Intelligent Observation of Rules
of Hygiene Will De-
crease Illness.

Are you tired? Do you feel
dragged out" in. the morning, when
you wake up? Do you think you
would prefer a bed of roses" to your
present occupation? Would you like
to be at ease and to sleep another
two hours every morning?
Answers to these questions indi-
cate the exhausted sensations OF
healthy mortal man
Fevers, "colds," sickness that saps
life, oYereating, drinking alcoholic
liquors, disturbances OF the glands
and hookworms in the Intestinal
canal really induce a sort of lethargy
and sluggishness. easily mistaken for
laziness or an excessive amount OF
Incidence.
Detection of Hookworm.
whenever hookworms, or the ''laEy
worm" invades the human intestine
it is called by medical pundits
"anlxyIostoma duodenale"-a thorough
examination is made of the intestinal
discharges. A bit of this about the
size ofa walnut is put in porcelain
cup. Four tablespoonfuls of cold
water are added and four layers or
Eauze are used through which to pour
the discharges. This is allowed 10
settle and is then sent to the health
officials to examine microscopically
for hookworms and their eggs.
Thymol was once the only treat
ment to rid "the tired. anemic" in
dividual of the hookworms which IRE
ouently make their way into the
stomach and intestines from the skin,
because the embryo, baby worms en-
ter the skin of the ankles and the feet
as ground itch" In the last few
years, however. oil OF chenopodium
was substituted. The United states
public heaith department has adopted
this to the exclusion of other treat
ments because by it's use the hook
worms are killed before they leave
the alimentary canal.
More Modern Treatment.
In comparison with thymoI, oil of
chenopodium triumphs over hook
worm disease much more completely.
Moreover its virtues and value are
further enhanced by the observations
that 1t is not followed by some Of the
uncomfortable effects of thymol.
Another reason ithas been used al
most exclusively IN the past year oy
the United States public health hos
pitfalls is due to the fact that no pre-
cautions about eating and drinking
need be bothered about before or dur
ing its administration.
Whenever blood paleness, exhaus-
tior. loss in weight and other signs
of miners anemia-" 'laziness,
ground itch" and such symptoms
point to the possible presence of hook
worms, the intestinal contents must
be searched repeatedly.

at Z o'clock three ounces of sulphate

"SEVEN CHANGES"
Roi Cooper MegruG''s Comedy
Proves Attractive Offering
At Belasco Theater.

Frank Craven, who resembles an
actor as little as possible. but who
is a most gifted comedian, returned
to the Belasco last night as the chief
fun maker in Roi Cooper Negrue's
comedy of courtship, Seven Chances.
The production was presented here
less than a year ago under the name
won the approval OF New York, where
in two theaters II succeeded in appeas-
ing the metropolitan appetite for
good humor.
Jimmie Shannon, a ffty-dollar-a-
week broker and confirmed bachelor,
falls heir to S12 900, 900 of his dead
grandfather's money on condition
that he be married before he Is thirty.
The news comes when he Is exactly
twenty-nipe years eleven months
twenty-nine days old, and being still
very single, he is compelled to pro-
cesd rapidly. Billy Meekin, with q
weather eye to the fortune for his
friend Jimmie, arranges a dinner
party at the club and places eligibles
of every hue, size, and type in the
path of the wooer.
Millions Melting.
"Seven Chances" of matrimony are
available for Jimmie. While one
might suppose that almost any girl
in these days Of extravagant prices
would throw herself at q millionaire,
Jimmie gets six mos" before a
frivolous maid of sixteen answers
yes" At the last minute, however,
she remembers her Billy back at
school and jilts Shannon. Realizing
the millions are slipping from his
friend speedily, Meekin concocts q
false telegram informing Shannon Of
a new will, which offers the girl who
really loves Jimmie with q chance to
win him because of real love. and the
curtain falls with Jimmie's confirmed
bachelorhood replaced by q hurried
trip to the waiting parson with the
one girl who really attracts him.
Abundantiy provided with eleven
lines and enough of the farce element

seems to be one laugh after another.
