The Baptists have ever been strong on evangelising the people, and as a re. ?ult they oatnumber any other denomi nation la thai state. Their gigantic problem at present seems to be the en listment and equipment for greater efli oiencr of their untrained thousands as a force with whiah to evangelise the world.

There is a decided increase over any preceding week and it is very much desired that the people come to the dispensaries in still larger lum bers this last week. This will abso lutely be the last opportunity for free examination and free treatment, the last chance to hear about the develop opment of the hookworm and hook worm disease, to see hookworms and hookworm eggs under the microscope, the last chance t? give yourselvee aad your children the benefit of the gen ereeity ef the State and coonty in an endeavor to make yon up into more aseful eitisena.

This causes a considerable irritation and itching, and we have the well known "ground itch" or "daw itch."
