If.MIU fl.WW AIUKiCI Hookworm diseased was discovered in the United States by Dr. Stiles, in 1902. Since that time much valuable information has accumula ted regarding the prevalence, mode of infection, and distribution of this disease. As regards the prevalence: Last fall 600 students attending four of North Carolina's best colleges, were examined for hookworm dis ease, with the result that 33J per cent were found to be infected with this disease. These students renre sented the majority of the counties of the state. Only this month quite a number of soldiers in camp at Chicamauga were examined and 25 per cent were found to be infected with this dis ease. Statistics show that in some coun ties this disease is present to the ex tent of 50 per cent. In Halifax over 100 cases have been treated with favorable results. MODE OF INFECTION AND HOW HARM IS PRODUCED. The hookworm lives in our small bowels where it grasps, holds and sucks blood for its living, at the same time it injects a poison into our system which gives rise to the following symptoms: Paleness, irowsiness, or unable to sleep, ioint pains, severe headaches, 'either poor or abnormal appetite, palpitation of the heart is common, marked lack of development in children, mental ly the individual is dull, tires easily, etc. The worm lays eggs which are ex pelled with the excreta giving rise to soil pollution. An individual going barefooted or wearing leaky shoes, comes in con tact with the eggs, which have hatched becoming embrxos. becomes infected as these embryos enter the skin and give rise to a condition known as "dew-poison" "cow-itch" or "ground-itch These embryos make their way to our small bowels and develops into adult worms, If you or any member of vour family present some of the above symptoms consult your family phy sician in reference to the same. Dr. C. F. Strcsmder, representing the State Board of Health, lectured to the teachers, attending the Teach ers' Institute at Enfield, last week, on the subject of flies, mosquitos, and Hookworm Disease. What Constitutes The Subscriber? A court decisions has lately been rendered in Massachusetts on what constitutes a subscriber. The judge firmly believed that the man who re ceived the paper, although he never subscribed for it, is entitled to pay. James Thompson moved, and Wil liam Robinson took immediate posse ssion and received and accepted a weekly newspaper that was deliver to him through the mails every week. The good natured editor sent accounts frequently, but no at tention was paid them by Mr. Robin son. Finally there was a day of reckon ing. Robinson had received the pa per for some time, he informed the collector, but he said that he never subscribed and declined to pay for it. The j udge personally questioned the defendant, who said that he had read and made use of it and was receiving the accounts, which were frequently inclosed in the paper. Judgement was rendered in favor (Jf the newspaper. The judge was severe in his criticism of the people who are receiving papers and do not think it worth while to pay for what they receive and make use of. It is an act of dishonesty, he said. One should acquaint the publisher and pay for whatever numbers he re ceives. Wyandot (O.) Union-Republic. Dusky Customer Mahhousband's done got de rheumatism.

Brinkleyville, July 23. The Met hodist Protestant church at thit piace was the scene of one of the most beautiful marriage ceremonie ever witnessed in this sacred edifice, when Mr. and Mrs. N. M. Harrison gave in marriage their daughter, Catherine Maud, to Mr. Glen Ed ward Wills, of Emporia, Va. The church was beautifully decorated. Musical selections were rendered by Mrs. W. Z. Morton, of Roberson ville, who presided at the organ, and Miss Temple Owen, vocal soloist, who very sweetly san& "I Love You True" just.prior to the entrance of the bridal party. At 10:30 the organ pealed forth the strains of Lohengrin's wedding march, and the bridal party entered as follows: First, the ushers, Mr. J. H. Partin, of Rocky Mount, and Mr. Milton Norman, of Halifax; then Dr. D. Smith, of Manson, with Miss Agnes Reese Harris, of Henderson: Mr. T. N. Harrison, of Littleton, with miss Annie B. Boyd; Mr. Moore, of Emporia, Va., with Miss Louise Allen, of Richmond, Va.; then came the flower girls, little Misses Helen Harrison and Burwell Patterson, of Littleton; then came the maid of honor, Miss Panthea Harrison, sister of the bride; then the ring bearer, little Agnes Thorne, of Airlie. The groom entered with his best man, Mr. .Laurence Whitaker, of Enfield, and joined his bride at the altar, who came in leaning on the arm of her brother. Mr. John H. Harrison, Jr. Together they stood before the altar while Rev. W. S. Taylor, with W. L. Harris assisting, using the ring eeremony, pronoun ced the solemn words that made them man and wife. The bride was gowned in a hand- som sage- green serge traveling suit, with hat and gloves to match, and wore a sunburst of pearls and dia monds, presented to her by the groom, bhe carried a snower dou- quet of lilies of the valley and maiden-hair ferns The maid of honor was hand somely gowned in soft whi te silk, and carried a bouquet of bride's roses. The bridesmaid were dressed in handsome gowns of white lingerie over white silk, and carried pink car nations. Immediately after the ceremony and to the strains of Mendolssohn's wedding march, the bridal party left the church and took carriages for ittleton, where thev boarded the westbound train for Asheville and other places of interest in the mountains of North Carolina. The bride is the talented and ac complished daughter of Mr. and Mrs. N. M. Harrison, of Brinkley ville, N. C, and the groom is the son of the lateJiVIr. and Mrs. Ed. Wills, and is now a prominent business man of Emporia, Va. The bridal couple received a large number of very handsome and cost ly presents. The out of town guests were: Miss Agnes R. Harris, of Henderson, Miss T. A. Owens, of Littleton, Miss Louise Allen, of Richmond, Va. ; Mr. Moore, of Emporia, Va.; Dr. D. Smith, of Manson,; T. N. Harrison, of Littleton,; J. H. Partin, of Rocky Mount,; Rev. W. S. Taylor, of Little ton.; Miss Boyd Thorne of Airlie. Wnat He Wanted. Just Moving With the Times. Of course you have noticed, in re cent years, that the young women seen on the streets, walk faster than they used to. In the old days it seemed to be undignified for a wo man to be seen moving at a fast gait, but it is all changed and now most of them simply "go down the road," to the envey of a good many men who would be put to it to keep up with them. It is seldom you see a womon walking slowly along the street. If you do see one a young woman she is always occompained by a man a young man and if she is walking slowly along there is "something doing;" they are a courting sure pop. Make a few ob servations and you will see that we are right. Greensboro Dailey Record. A Texas Congressman thinks the following letter from one of his con stituents represents the limit of im position upon the hard-working pa triots at Washington: , "dear sir will you please sell me some envelopes with my name on so I wont have to put any stamps on them I would like to have envelopes without putting names on I will pay just as much as the stamped enve lopes cost you can have the place where the stamps is to be put Paid 2c and send them to ;ne 1 want white envelopss I want them I can mail without stamps I will pay them just the same if as the stamped ones are or like the oner, I have to put the stamps on thorn I would be glad to have them free or I will pay for them if you want it I want envelopes just like the postmasters have and do not need to put any stamps on I can pay for 'hem I want white paper envelopes with my name on the left side just like you part your hair I want about a doz or 2 doz also please tell me hyw to cure Hogs and Pigs of the Mange mine has them someting cruel and I have put something on them but could not help them also please tell me how to train pointers I will have some soon and want to have vthem well trained to quail I would like to have some fish which I can keep them in small water all the time without dying such as barrels tanks ect and what to eat and how to make them grow fast I will close very truly J. E. Sampson," (From Success Mag-axine.) Wanted All To Be Honest. A Clever Dog. The operator at Grimsby Tele phone exchange received an unex pected call from the premises of a firm of tobacconist's in the early hours of Sunday morning. Putting the instrument to his ear his surprise developed into wonderment, for all he could get in reply to the usual query, "What number p'ease?" was the vigorous barking of a dog. Coming to the conclusion that there were burglers in the place the opera tor informed the police. In the meantime the owner of the dog, sud denly remembering that lie had eon tfary to pratict left the -animal, a fox terrier, in the office, had gone to the premises to release it. When he arrived he found a couple of police officers about to force an enterance and their - astonishment was great when reaching the office they found that the terrier had climed onto a desk five feet high and knocked the receiver off the telephone. Used to hearing his master's voice over the instrument, it had apparently bark ed into the mouth-piece to draw at tention to its plight. Mark Telley, State treasurer and candidate for re-election, vas a traveling salesman for 25 years and has a fund of good stories of the road. He tells that one time he was in : town in Central Kansas where a pro tracted revival meeting was goirg on. One of the residents of town was named Toby. He was a tall, gaunt man, with long whiskers, and Was very fond of whiskey, of which he frequently imbibed beyond his limit. This man was attending one of the meetings, and the revivalist was busy scoring every form of vice and calling down drastic condemn ation upon them. Woe to the drunkard! Woe to the drunkard! Woe to the drunk ard!" he shouted in doleful tones. Old Toby got on his feet and tug ged at his whiskers, and the fact that he stuttered only made his in terruption more marked: "G-g-g-guess th-th-th at's m-e! I-I-I-I'm p-p-present!" The preacher went on "Woe to the liars. Woe to the liars! Woe to the thieves!" Woe to the thieves!" His voice was dolorous and sepulch ral. Again old Toby got to his feet. He motioned around the room, swing ing and pointing with his arms and fingers. "G-g-get up" he commanded. "G-g-get up! He's calin' and s-s-some of you fellers! I've answered p-p-present. It's your turn now. S-s-stand up and be counted!" Kan sas City Star. Must Be Cleared From the Track how. Any- Hopeless ly Mixed. In the early part of the last cen tury there lived in an old New En land town a Mr. Church, who in the course of his earthly life'was bereft of four wives, all of whom were buried in the same lot. In his old age it became neccessary to remove the remains to a new cemetery. This be undertook himself, but in the process the bones became hope lessly mixed. His "New England conscience" would not allow him, under the painful circumstances, to use the original headstones, so he procured new ones, one of which bore the following inscription: "Here lies Hannah Church and probably a portion of Emily." Another: "Sacred to the Memory of Emily Church, who seems to be mixed with Matilda." Then follow the lines: "Stranger, pause and drop a tear: For Emly Church lies buried here Mixed in some preplexing-manner With Mary, Matilda and probably Hannah." Harper's Weekly. The Flying Machine Industry. The next thing we may look for is the flying machine factory. Already shops are-turniug out biplanes and monoplanes as if they were so many wheelbarrows, and in a short time the country will be as full of biplane and monoplane agencies as it is au tomobile agencies. And incidental ly, the newspapers will be establish ing a new department devoted to the fellows who hit the earth with a dull thud Charllotte Chronicle. All in the Family. Nevada is what is called a sover-oip-n State. It embraces a great deal of territory and a few people. Most of its valuables are owned by Cali f ornians. Its United States Senator ships have been held a good deal of the time by men who might proper ly be called residents of San Fran cisco. In the circumstance-! when - Cali fornia shuns prize-fight with the knowledge that it will be held in Nevada it does not exactley close the doors of hope upon its inhab tants. Nearly a;l of the money spent at Reno will be found later on in San Francisco's pockets New York World. Why Is it that in every town there are some fellows who will vorkhere to scotch the wheels of progress, while they would find the labor much less burdensome were they to join the bigger crowd which is behind the wagon pushing it forward? The ob structionists, kickers, and teareis dowh really work hnrder in their way than the builders-upwhoki they are constantly opposing. They have the fchort end of the lever and, con sequently, cannot match strength with the force at the other end. The only thing they do is to delay prog ress and to receive the well merited impatience of the men who are al ways doing things and consequently building up their towns Charlotte Observer. It is the disposition and the spirit of man to differ with his fellow man at many points as to methods and policies, but in this enlightened epoch of advancemen; and improve ment there is no place assigned to the brtructionist. He should be shoved aside gently-- if you will, forcibly if need be.
