Makes home baking pleasant and profitable The Half-Inch Hookworm. The plain or garden variety of hookworm is a second cousin of the bug which causes the sleep ing sickness and nephew to the microbe that produces the tired feeling. When the hookwo; m hooks on to the bowels of a poor man the effect is laziness. But if by accident it attacks the en trails of a Piute, the • result is called "fatigue," Thefemale half-inch hookworm lays eggs, but does not cackle. As soon as a setting is accumu lated it is deposited on the ground and hatched out by anybody who happens along. When the young half inch hookworm is big enough to stai t in business on his own hook, he" throws his hook into the bare heel of a cotton picker and starts to work his way up in life. If he gets as far as the stomach his fortune is made. He is now safe to marry and assume the respon sibility of raising a large family. Occupying a strategic position, so to say, everything has to com* his way. Whatever the cotton picker puts in his mouth, masti cates, swallows and digests, is examined by the half-inch hook worm, After sorting out the tidbits, he absorbs them greedi ly. On account of the fact that hookworms make a living with out any useful labor, they belong to the better class.—The Nat. Rip-saw. The hookworm is a little cuss less than half an inch long and about as thick as No. 40 sewing cotton. He was brought here from Africa, along with the dar kies. The darkies have associa ted with the hookworms so many thousands of years that they— the darkies, are immune against the misery that the hookworms cause among the whites. The hookworm thrives where the barn lot takes the place of sewers. White people, especial ly white children, catch the hook worm by running around bare foot. The hookworm bores it self up through the soles of the feet", and then on into the intes tines. Doan's Regnlets are recommended by many who say they operate easily, without griping and without bad after effects. 25c at all drag stores.

According to this article it be gins with playing marbles for "keeps," which afterwards changes into play ing "craps" for nickles, which in time matures into full-fledged gamb ling. In our boyhood this form of gambling with marbles was also pre valent, but it was always done in secret, and then only by those who were not blessed with godly training. Of coarse there were boys then who also gambled for money, but they were social outcasts. In our day not only is the marble habit more prevalent and shooting of craps listed among the respectable sports, but there is no attempt made at concealment. Th«re is no vice more insidious, or more deadening to tHe moral sense in its effects. It is followed by a series of other sins, such as lying and cheat ing, and oftentimes murder. When we look closely into the life of a gambler, and see the utter de pravity and hopelessness of such a life, it ought to be the prayer of every parent that their sons be pieserved from such a fate, Yot* should not forget that the gambler probably began as your boy is now beginning, that a word of caution and rebuke might have saved him, but it was neglected, either be cause he had no one enough concern ed in his welfare to make an effort to save him, or else it seemed such a trifling sin that no one imagined that anything serious could grow out of it. Unfortunately it is not a sin con fined to the boys, but it is found in every walk of life, even among the mothers and sisters of these boys. It is all a symptom of a disease which is called covetousness, and which the inspired Word tells us is idolatry. There should be a revival of a sense of parental responsibility, a closer ac quaintance with the habits of your sons, and the setting of an example along this line that will be a help to them. Of course a bridge-playing mother may feel some embarrassment in dealing with this evil, and may feel that it is Satan rebuking sin. With the changed conditions of society it may be impossible for us to go back to the old family life of ou youth, when mothers lived only for their children, yet a closer approach to the past might be the means of saving your boy, and making an honest man of him PresbyteriaE Standard. * Wood's Seeds.

A WAHHHC TO RAW Some Ineresting Facts Regarding Health Statistics. Few people realize to what extent their health depends upon the con dition of the kidneys. The physician in nearly all cases of serious illness, makes a chemical anal ysis of the patient's urine. He knows that unless the kidneys are doing t heir work properly, the other organs cannot be brought back to hfealth and strength. When the kidneys are neglected or abused in any way, serious results are sure to follow. According to health statistics; Bright's disease which is really an advanced form of kidnev trouble, caused nearly ten thousands deaths in 1910, in the state of New York alone. Therefore, it behooves us to pay more attention to the health of these most important or gans. An ideal herbal compound that has had remarkable success as a kidney remedy 1s Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great Kklney, Liver and Bladder Remedy. The mild and healing Influence of this preparatiun is soon realized. It stands the highest for its remarkable record of cures.
