Many Obstacles in Way.

"Many obstacles stand in the way of
complete eradication, even in isolated
areas having no Immigration and with
natural conditions that either limit or
preclude intercourse with the outside
world. 1t is seldom possible to examine
every individual in an area or to treat
until cured all who are found infected;
when latrines of proper type are in
stalled In sufficient numbers to pre-
vent soil pollution, it is still necessary
to accustom the people to the use of
them-and this is u task that usually
requires a long period of education
and enlightenment; and even when
both the foregoing conditions are full
filed there still remains for time the
danger of reinfection from hookworm
larvae already in the SOIL"
After an extended survey of its ex-
perience with reinfections, which were
found to show the highest rates on es-
tates. in Ceylon. the foundation re-
ports:
"These high rates of reinfection
should not be accepted as indicating
that no considerable progress has been
made toward bringing the disease I'M
der control. 1t should be remembered
that the problem of hookworm control
is primarily one of reducing mass in
lection. The practical phase of the
task is concerned with the removal of
the largest possible number of worms
from the largest possible number of
infected persons. Upon this basis the
best crit{5skn for judging the effective
ness of a curative campaign In any
aressn not the percentage of infected
persons who are cured or who remain
cured, but the proportion, expelled and
destroyed, of the total worms har-
bored by the population.
"Even though in certain of the areas
mentioned from 80 to 100 per cent of
the persons formerly cured of the dis
ease have since become reinfected
there can be little doubt that as re-
suit of treatment the average number
of worms harbored by each infected
nerson has been very materially re
duced, Conditions extremely favorable
for the prevalence ana persistence ol
the infection exist practically through
out all countries in which the work
has been conducted; there is at pres
emf lack of definite knowledge as to
how long larvae remain infective In
the soil; the latrine accommodations
provided in many areas have been de
fective or inadequate, the habits of
the people grossly insanitary, and, In
addition, war conditions have inter-
fered seriously with due and effective
sanitary Supervisors and reasonable
RECOMMENDATION. Under these circum-
stances reinfection was bound to occur
in greater or less degree, but 1t VIII
unquestionably diminish as effective
sanitation is introduced and the cura-
tive measures are extended.

Failure to eradicate completely hook
worm disease from any one area during
10 years of scientific struggle against
that scOurge by its own and other
health agencies is acknowledged III
the Rockefeller foundations annual
report.
Intensive scientific study of certain
control factors, notably the INABILITY
Of the worms IN various kinds of soil
and other mediums and the possibility
of making certain the existence of 9th
er forms of transmission than those al
ready well understood, are suggested
as offering hope of attaining more COM
plete. results. 1t is probable that such
sRdles soon will be undertaken.
Nothing could be simpler in theory
than the few measures necessary for
the control of hookworm infection"
the report says. 1.-THE cycle of the
worm from the moment the egg is de-
posted on the ground until ii has
reached the small intestine of its hui
man host and developed to its adult
stage is well understood, as are also
the details of its life story and envl-
ronment; and there are at least two
drugs which are most potent in free
ing the human system of the parasites.
II should therefore be relatively sim
pie to locate and to cure those who
have the disease, to prevent others
from contracting it, and thus to bring
about, within limited areas at least,
its complete eradication.
Although the problem of complete
eradication is simple when stated on
paper, it is not so in practice. The
board has been engaged in work
against hookworm disease since 1910,
similar work was undertaken in Porto
Rico In 1904, and the attack on the
disease in the mines of Belgium, Hol-
land and Germany began as early as
1902, yet it is impossible to point to
any one mine or area from which the
Infection has been completely eradi-
Gated. In the mines of Germany IT
was reduced from 16.S per cent in
1908 to Is per cent in 1912; in those
of the Netherlands, from % per cent
in 1903 to 80 per cent in 1913, and in
those of the Liege district of Belgium,
from 22.S per cent in 1902 to II per
cent in 1913. These are the nearest
recorded approaches to complete con-

DEAD PASHA TO.
 BE AVENGED BY
 BLOOD BROTHER

PARIS, Aug. 6 (by Associated Press).-Vengeance for the assassina- tion of Essad Pasha, head of the AL banian delegation here, is being quiet ly awaited by blood brother" of the Balkan leader, according to a circum- stantial story by French writer, pub lished by the Excelsior.
 This man, now rich and influential in France, the story goes, was one of several poor young men who 30 years ago met Essad Pasha, then known as the Black Dagger of Abdul Hamid" in Constantinople, when he crowded into a card game and insisted upon playing with them. Fearing Essed Pasha, they protested they were too poor to play with him, but he in- sisted, emphasizing it by placing his revolver on the table as threat.
 To meet this, the "blood brother put down his dagger, poisoned, he said. Essed Pasha Pasha showed his sur prise, then his pleasure.
 Young man." he exclaimed, 'this is the first time anyone has dared defy me. Men like you are rare.'
 Essad Pasha took his own dagger, opened a vein in his wrist and also in that of the young man, each sucked 8 few drops of blood from the other and they became blood brothers" ac- cording to Albanian customs, sworn to avenge each others death.
 q am ready this brother now is quoted as saying, "to keep my oath, but have confidence that French courts will make it unnecessary for me to interfere"
 Rustem Aveni, arrested on the spot for shooting down Essad Pasha as the latter was entering his automobile ln the downtown district recently, IS awaiting trial. He was student who nosed as the avenger of Albanian wrongs.

A TIMELY DISCUSSION

The Columbus Dispach. in a
recent issue, has the following to
say as to the ACCESSIBILITY of max
ing every square yard of ground
produce something this year as
we'll as during the years the ma
ton was at war:
A few years ago the Government
asked the people to make every
acre of laad produce something, and
under the enthusiasm of war they re-
sponded. Yards and Fairgrounds,
and tennis courts and golf links
were plowed up and put to pro-
duction.
The nation is not at war now,
but it is imperiled by situation
more acute now than ever before in
its history Production in every
thing has been and is being cur
tailed to the starving point and un-
less the people are aroused to the
seriousness of the situation, mill
ions may go hungry before We wit
