HOOK WORM WAR BY ROCKEFELLER

Sires $1,000,000 to Fight Causa of Lazy Man’s Olsaasa, SON PUCEO ON COMMISSION Scientists and Educators Named to Campaign Systematically Against the Bug Whose Ravages Have Been Felt So Heavily In the South—" Richest Man” Apts After Making a Full Investigation of the Subject. New York, Oct. 29. —John D. Rockefeller has given $1,000,000 to fight the hook worm, the lazy man’s bug. The disbursement of the money will rest with a committee of which J. D. Rockefeller, Jr., is a member. The idea of getting after the hook worm in a scientific manner presented itself to Rockefeller some months ago. Rockefeller or his agents have consulted with Dr. William H. Welch, professor of pathology in Johns Hopkins university; Dr. Simon Flexner, director of the Rockefeller institute for medical research; Dr. Charles Stiles, the zoologist- who discovered the American species of hook worm; Dr. Edwin A. Alderman, Dr. David F. Houston, P. P. Claxton, J. D. Joyner, D. P. Page and Dr. H. B. Frissell. These have received this letter from- ‘‘the richest man:”

‘‘For many months my representatives have been Inquiring into the nature and prevalence of ‘hook worm disease’ and considering plans for mitigating its evils. I have delayed action in this matter only until the facts as to the extent of the disease could be verified and the effectiveness of its cure and prevention demonstrated. The wide distribution and serious effects of this malady in the rural districts of our southern states have now been confirmed by independent observations of other distinguished investigators. “Knowing your Interest In all that pertains tp the wellbeing of our fellow men and your acquaintance with this subject, I have invited you to a conference in the hope that it may lead to the adoption of well considered plans for a co-operative movement for the cure and prevention of this disease. If you deem It wise to undertake this commission, I shall be glad to be permitted to work with you to that end and you may call upon me from time to time for such sums of money up to one million dollars as may be needed during the next five years for carrying on an aggressive campaign.” The commission has been accepted by the men mentioned and they will soon meet for organization and for the mapping of their work.

SONG OF THE MOTORIST/ OH. I am an auto-mo-bU-ist, And 1 sail the bounding pike! 1 give my blgh geared wheels a twist And go wherever I like. I bound along o'er the country roads, Past fresh green fields and farms, And with what joy ray heart explodes As I breast the thank-you-marmsl I strew the way with butter and eggs When 1 hit a grocer’s cart, * And once In awhile a grocer's legs And the grocer come apart. To smash bang Into a load of hay And scattef- It left and right, With a ye&ve-ho-ho and tara-dl-ay. Is a source ot sheer delight. No care have I of the sort that china The man who la soon to “bust." Whenever 1 note my unpaid bills I go out and raise the dust. I raise It here, and I raise it there TUI It reaches the spreading skies, And I find enough and plenty tours To throw in my creditors’ eyes. Bo it’s ho for my trusty automobile And hi for my bounding pike! Let others rave over the horse and wheel. The tame and the arduous bike; Let others rave o’er the brigantine That plows through the realm of the conch. It’s for me the car of gasoline With Its glorious honk-honk-honk! —Washington Times.

Cause For Surprise.

“My dear, I’m\&fraid that our Willie is a somnambulist,” said the fond mother. “What’s he doing now?” “Well, last night I beard a noise in his room, and I crept in, and there was Willie walking about. I followed him, and he went downstairs, picked up the lawn mower and the pruning hook and broom and was starting out the door when I stopped him.” “He did that while he was asleep?” “Indeed he did, and when I wakened him he couldn’t remember a thing about it. How in the world do you explain it?” “Oh, that’s all right. Don’t worry. It’s funny, of course, but if he bad done it while awake it would have been a blamed sight more unusual.”— New York Herald.

Stick to the Country.

Life in a metropolis makes young children sharp, but not clever. It oftej destroys their chance of ever bein.l clever, for it hastens the development of the brain unnaturally; it makes them superficial, alert, but not observant; excitable, but without one spark of enthusiasm. They are apt to grow blase, fickle, discontented. They see more things than the country bred child, but not such interesting things, and they do not properly see anything, for they have neither the time nor capacity to get at the root of all the bewildering objects they crowd into their little lives.
