It is only \vt recent years that theie has cdihe into the world a
new knowledge that it is possible to save a man from a great part
of the sickness that has heretofore afflicted him. This new know>
lejige is the science of sanitation. So important have the teach
ings of this science become that eveiy progressive government is
making an effort to have the results of sanitation, and the means
of obtaining these results, knowri to all their citizens. For a state
to increase the public health and sanitary conditions of it3 citizens
is economical, because health means the ability to work and earn
good wages; afld a healthy community means more business, more
money, and more comforts. It is a significant fact, and one every
citizen-should be proud of, that North Carolina is working with
other progressive states of the Union to accomplish this end.
It is manifestly impossible for the State Board of Health to
reach everyHndividual Vv'ithin its borders and educacte him regard
ing the laws of health. But it is trying to interest tiie counties
and Jet them in turn interest and educate the people. It is to this
end that the Hookworm Campaign is being carried on in the State.
The question at once arises “VV.hy does the State Board of Health,
if it wishes to interest the people in sanitation, carry on a campaign
agamst hookworms and intestinal parasites?” No one can deny
the great value of the campaign to those infected with intestinal
parasites, but the greatest value is the work of demonstration in
the counties where the dispensaries are being conducted. This
demonstration work has been applied time and again to other
fields of endeavor. In aiding educational work in the South money
was spent in establishing, in different sections of the State, speci
al tax schools as demonstrations. In these schools the people saw
increased facilities, longer terms, better teachers, and modern
scnoolhouses replace w^^hat they had regarded as ail they could af
ford. As a result there has been voted in North Carolina, in
spile of the aversion to increased taxes, a special tax for schools
in more than 1500 districts. In agriculture, assistance to all crops
has not been given, but definite demonstrations. iVloney has been
supplied for boys’ corn clubs. The results have been an awaken
ing in agriculture and the yield has been improved until now 100
bushels of corn are grown on an acre by mere boys, a thing un
dreamed of ten years ago.
It is this principal that is now being applied to public health
work. A class of diseases—intestinal parasites—has been chosen
to serve as a demonstration. Hookworm disease is very prevalent
and is found in every county of the State during every month of
the year. It is preventable and easily cured, and such marked
resiilts follow treatment that it appeala to everyone. la conduct
ing the Jtlookworm Campaign the State Board of Health is show
ing what can be done in progressive health work in six weeks so
hat the counties may form an estimate of the value of such work
when applied in a systematic manner to all preventable disaases.
The free medical dispensaries for the treatment of Hookworm
Disease and other diseases due to intestinal parasites were conduc
ted in Alamance County for 6 weeks, from August 8 to September
20, 1013. This work was under the charge of the Hookworm Com
mission of the North Carohna State Board of Health, and was
made possible by the Commissioners of the County cooperating
with the State Board of Health. It may be of interest' to State
and the County. The County appropriatei a sum not to exceed
$250.00 to pay for the medicines used, the advertising, the con
tainers for bringing in specimens, and the expenses of an assis-
istant. By cooperating with the State in this way, the County
paid less than one fourth of the actual cost of the campaign. (The
exact amount expended by the County was $280.34.)
During the six weeks it is estimated 9000 people visited the dis
pensaries, saw the exhibits, heard the talks and received literature
on vital topics of public health and sanitation. Of this number,
3105 were examined for intestinal parasites and of these 703 were
found to be infected and were given treatment. The following
tables will give in detail the number examined at the different
dispCTisary points, the number of children ex*imined, as well as
the numbers infected and the kind of infection:

Each person infected was given three and in some instances,
four treatments. _ . .
The campaign was conducted by visiting points selected by the
county commissioners and establishing temporary dispensaries
which the people could visit and be examined. The C3nditions of
life in Alj^mance are different from those of many of the other
counties of the State and for this reason the problem of interest
ing the people in public health and sanitation is different The
chief industry of the county is manufacturing, there being cotton
mills and a number of other industries each employing fram 50 to
several hundred operatives. These people, or at least the heads
of the families, spend the day at their work and cannot be reached
so easily as in counties where the chief pursuits are agricultural.
In order to successfully work the mill towns more dispensary
points than usual had to be selected, and since the dispensary
work was limited to six weeks only two could be given to each
point. Eleven points were established and at these we were able
to reach 17 cotton mills and several furniture factories. Aside
from the regular dispensaries, lectures and demonstrations on
hookworm disease and sanitation were given at nigrKt at five
churches or schoolhouses. Through the kindness of wr. Vernon
we were enabled to give a public demonstration at the Masonic
Picnic at Piedmont Park, on August 16. , .
The mill people as a rule were hard to get interested and by the
time they learned the nature of our work the dispensary had to be
moved to other pdnts. During the latter part of our stay in the
county this difficulty wa« overcome bir the assistftoce of seveml
pKwressive mill mana|r^a(.i We had a circular letter pnnted that

The telephone goes hand in hand with good

The telephone overcomes many of the obsta

Progressive farmers arc insisting upon good
