Hookworm Prevention
Hookworm disease is found

Hookworm disease is found il
practically all countries whicl
lie in the tropical and sub-tropica
zones extending from parable
thirty-six degrees south. Abou
one-half of the population of thu
world live in this area. There il
practically no other parasitic dis
ease, of which our knowledge is sc
complete as hookworm disease
and for which we have two OF
more specific drugs. We are
familiar with every stage in the
| llife-cycle of the hookworm from
the time the eggs reach the soil in
the feces of its former host be-
fore the Matching into the larvae
, throughout all the stages of de-
velopment, until it enters the hu-
man body and finally reaches the
small inteStines, there to live for
eight or ten years and reproduce
its kind by the thousands. Every
detail of its life-story and Of the
conditions necessary for it's devel-
opment has been known to us by
the researches of scientists. With
such knowledge, it has been an
easy task to outline the necessary
conditions for the prevention of
the disease. Only one thing is
absolutely necessary; that is, to
prevent soil-pollution, or, in other
words, to keep the hookworm
eggs from reaching the soil where
they can hatch and develop in the
infective larvae.
If those who have hookworm
can be cured, and if we can pre-
vent others from contracting the
disease, then, theoretic eradica-
ton becomes an accomplished
end. To accomplish the eradica-
ton of this disease anywhere, we
need to make a correct diagnosis
ana treat every one injected until
ne is cured and to bring about the
and use of sanitary
that will put an end
20 further pollution of the soil.
The Florida State Board of
Health has emphasized time and
again the great danger of soil
pollution and how utterly impos-
'ible it is to eradicate hookworm
disease, though every one be
reated and cured, without the
measures of soil
pollution being properly carried /;
'ut. To prevent hookworm in S
ection is more important than !
he cure of the disease. State

R. [. COOLEY |S
 CALLED BY DEATH
 PNEUMONIA CAUSE

In a leteer received on the last mail by Mrs. M. J. Cooney from Mrs. C. W Landwehr, who is at present in Seattle with her husband, the sad intelligence is contained of the death of R E. Cooley, a former employee of the Alaskan Engineering commission and well known in the Panama valley.
 The death occurred on March 12, pleuro-pneumonia being given as the cause of death. His mother has had his body shipped to her in the East for burial.
 MT. Cooley is reported to have taken sick on March 3rd, and a few days afterwards showed signs of improving, but this improvement was only temporary and he sank gradually until death supervened.
 He was engaged in railroad work at the time he took sick.
 The late R. E. Cooley was en- gagged in the water business in Fair banks for many years, and on sell ing out went into the Tolovana country where he engaged in mining during the summer months, and operated woodsaw during the winter season.
 He came to Nenana in the spring of 1917, and in partnership with Frank McGibney took grading contract on the right of way south of Nenana, which he completed satis- factorily. He afterwards joined the A. E. C. forces and served as loco motive fireman up until September 9th, last, when he resigned to go to the States.
 He has many friends in the Panama valley who will regret to hear of his demise

BRITISH SAILORS
 ARE SUPERST|T|OUS

LONDON.-The British sailor man apparently is as supersitious as ever and two stories of the navy have found their way into the col umns of the Daily Mail
 According to one of these tales an officer of a naval vessel be- came mentally unbalanced in the war and committed suicide under tragic circumstances, after escaping from his cabin. Not long afterward the sentries on board imagined that someone was dogging their foot steps as they paced up and down in the night watches. They de- clared that they could feel pres ence, but on turning around could see no one. Eventually the ser tries had to be sent on duty in pairs, as solitary sentry some times would desert his post in ter TOT. The ghost" is probably laid, as its ship was sunk in the Dar- danelles.
 Another case was that of haunt ed cabin. The officer assigned to it was missing and it was presumed that he was washed overheard by accident. Another officer was al- lotted the cabin, and one night he aroused the ship by shouts. A number of officers and men rushed in and found the new occupant sit ting up in his bunk in a state of terror. He said he had felt some thing touch his head and that the bunk was invaded by something damp and smelling of seaweed.
 The same thing happened to an- other tenant later on, and after that the cabin was unused for three months. Then a chaplain moved into the cabin and there were no complaints of further manif ta- tions.

MOTHER DIES AT
 SIGHT IF SONS
 NAMED IN WAR

Mrs. Oscar Rothenburg received a letter from Mrs. J. A. Slippern, who is now in San Francesca, giving details of the homecoming of American boys who had fought in the late war. Mrs. Slippern's letter, in part is as follows:
 1t is a good thing the war is over, and believe me, if you were here and had seen the poor boys coming home from "Over There" you would be able to realize what an awful thing this war has been. Some boys are crippled for life, and others are without an arm or leg, and some of them without a nose. One mother came after her son and died on the spot when she found ore without leg and an arm, and the other son without any legs or arms.
 ''She died right at the depot We were there when the train came in. and the son without legs and arms also collapsed when he saw his mother die.
 I've mothers here. who lad sons in the army, can surely be happy and thankful when we get our boys home. Arid will be home in a week from now and 1 can hardly wait for him, and he will be happy boy when he gets home to us.
 Every day some soldiers come +o our door asking for subscriptions for papers and magazines. They are all broke and have to do some thing for living.
 We are doing a lot of Red Cross work here and go over three times a week to help sew dresses for the Belgian children. The garments are of all sizes and lengths. So many French and Belgian children have been brought over here by the American army officers who have adopted them.
 We are now having the most beautiful weather; the air smells so wonderfully .swe t from the al mond and cherry blossoms. We like San Francisco fine; it is warmer now and the sun is out all day long, and everything looks like spring
 T do not know yet what we will do, but l expect we will come back to dear old Alaska. Everything is very expensive out here, and a dollar does not go as far here as it does in Alaska, but at that the Outside is a lovely place for d while. We. do get lonesome for Ne mana. I see from the paper that you are all doing something and having a good time always. Are you still knitting. We don't knit out here any more. Please greet all the ladies for me-

B|G POOL CLOSES
 MIDNIGHT TODAY
 ON THE BREAKUP

The all absorbing topic of con- versation now is the coming break up, and the indications are that it will so remain until all doubts have been removed with the breaking of the wire that will register the official time.
 Dopesters are hard at it figuring out the problem from different angles and sourdoughs of every known vintage, some more sour than others. are freely consulted by, those who are still in the process of souring, in the hope of being able to glean little something that would enable them to place their guesses to the best advantage. Yesterday there was quite a run on the tickets, and Dame Rumor has it that most of those investing HI SueS9SS nave duNdHCeu lile udte well along in May, basing their judgement on the weather condi- tions now prevailing, and possibly also on the dope spread out by the various sourdoughs
 In order that the News readers might be able to dope" it out for themselves, the following extracts from diary of the previous break ups are given.
