the people being taught by jllustrated lectures, lectures and charts, and by personal concrete instruction in a house to house visit the essentials of hookworm disease and its control, for it has'been found that if they will give the proper attention and follow closely the directions the disease can s be cured and eradicated. The Foun- dation has cooperated Wwith state and national governments in ‘its efforts and it is doing much towards the elimination of misery and most de- plorable conditions. .| The value of such service can be gathered from the fact that almost a million and a half people have been examined for the disease and over a half million were treated for it, it be- ing shown that over a quarter of a million were so treated in southern states in this country up to the close of 1915. Georgia is the greatest suf- ferer from this disease, there haying been found over 21,000 people in- fected with the disease. What it will mean to have-these people cured can be readily appreciated whell it is re- alized that it is this trouble which promotes laziness, The report makes it plain that a good fight is being successfully waged.

I've simply lived outdoors up there at our country home since the first of May. In fact, I felt so fearfully smothered when I got back to town a few days ago that I made up my mind not to stay in the house any more than I have to, planned to play golf ev- ery morni when weather permits. “Oh, no, I don’t expect to dgeep it up, now. Everything is alter since yesterday. All day I have felt that I may never play golf again or dance or run across a tennis court. “‘No, my feet haven’t been ampu- tated or anything like that, although yesterday morning I actually wished they had. the effort I used in putting them on. Really I was shocked to discover that I could hardly, force my feet into those shoes. I know they had fitted pretty well in thé spring, so he- roically determined to wear them again. It seemed such utter nonsense to let one’s feet spread in loose can- vas shoes all summer, and I promised to reform next year. “‘Have you hurt your foot? asked Louis as I hobbled along by his side to the street car. “‘Oh, no,’ I replied as blithely as I could, ‘but T guess I'm not used to the city pavement yet. I'm always rather a tenderfoot, you know, when I get back from the country. I'll be all right on the fair green’ I really hoped I should, but I wasn’t. “Bach moment my sufferings in- creased. So I set my metaphorical Jow and made myself walk without imping, though every step was a horror. Of course, my game Wwas atrocious. I couldn’t keep my mind on the ball or follow through or do anything except wonder whether I should live to return to my happy home. All the time Louis must have been wondering why I played so ex- ecrably and the two strangers who made up our foursome plainly consid- ered me helpless. Every time I pulled myself together in a valiant effort to play with my usual vim an agoniz- ing twinge in one foot or the other ‘would spoil the effect. “‘I can’t go so fast,’ I confessed as we were starting from one hole to .the “Yes, 'm going to tell you what happened. As soon as I decided to rlay golf mornings I called up Louis Kilbee and asked him if he would like to go out to the Jackson park links with me. He said he would if I would agree to a very early start. He said he had to be downtown at 11, so we must be ready to play off promptly at half past 6.

I was so dreadfully sleepy I had a hard time fipding them, but that was nothing to e men with us just glared. “If we lag, we get in everybody’s way,’ said one of them ungraciously, and I felt that he heartily wished me in the bottom of a water hazard, and really the lagoon did look rather in~ viting. But I buckled up what rem- nants of courage 1 had and walked with slightly greater rapidity, al- though each step was excruciating. There were moments when I was Se- riously tempted to cast my pride to the winds, and ask Louis to unlace my shoes, pull them off and throw them away. “Somehow or other, I shall never know exactly how, I managed to get over the whole course. I couldn’t speak during the street car ride home and when I parted with Louis at the door and tried to thank him for a pleasant morning the situation was 100 much for me and I burst into tears! : “Buy ‘Buy bigger ones next time,’ he said.

If I were a man and such slurs as C. B. Montgomery, “A Cloud Digger” and a reader had been made to me in person and I were a south- ern man instead of a woman I would not hesitate to do what any self re- specting, loyal southern man would do, and if they want to know what it is, let them go down into the south- land and cast the same slurs and their curiosity would soon be satisfied. Thomas Dixon is a beautiful writer and no doubt it's the truth in his beoks that has hurt the tender feel- ings of so many. The Ku-Kluk-Clan did a good thing when they broke up the outrageous doings that went on during the reconstruction regime— such history as Thadeous Stevens are only to be compared to snakes in the grass and the only way to get rid of poisonous snakes is to crush them as they were crushed and all who are like them. Hereafter I will only answer respectful letters. What the “Cloud Digger,” Veteran Reader, A Woman Suffragist, Fair Play, and C. B.

GASOLINE PUMPS. Plans are being made up in Massa- chusetts to eliminate the fraud that is thought to exist by the sale of gas- oline at the automatic pumps. It is the intention to determine in the first place whether fraud really exists, and if it does punishment will be applied. This stand on the part' of the com- missioner of weights and measures has been taken because of the com- plaints on the part of auto owners who are suspicions that they are not getting what they pay for of this valuable fluld, and in order to give the subject proper attention he has called for an appropriation from the next legisla- ture of $5,000 for special equipment to tarry on a thorough investigation. The department of weights and measures is carrying on an excellent work in that commonwealth. It is giving the public the protection that it has a right to expect and which it Is entitled to. The evidence of a loss of faith in the pumps is not neces- sarily manifested by the appeals which are made to the commissioner so much as a lack of faith in the opera- tors thereof, but whatever the trouble is or wherever it lies if there is any, it should be located and the remedy applied. There is no use tolerating the swin- dler and whether short weight is ap- plied to foodstuffs, to fuel or other commodities, or whether short meas- ure of molasses or gasoline_is involved, every effort should be made to see that each and every customer gets his money's worth. The fakir deserves no privileges and nothing should stand in the way of a proper test of these pumps, and in the move which it is making Massachusetts is setting a good example to other states. -FIGHTING THE HOOKWORM.

STORIES OF THE WAR I American Products in the War. _ The extent to which the resources of America have been called upon during the war is perhaps nowhere more in evidence than in the recon- quered mountain districts of the for- mer German province of Alsace. While making a trip through that pertion of the province now occupied by the French troops The Associated Press correspondent came into con- tact at many points with signs of the wide range of America’s resources. Immediately after crossing the for- mer frontier between Alsace and France the correspondent passed a mule train, most of the animals com- posing which had been imported from Algeria but many from Missouri. Louisianna and other States, and had scrved in transport columns ever since the early days of hostilities with great satisfaction to the army author- ities. The sure-footedness of these mmules and their reliability have been great factors in keeping the men en- trenched on the slopes and summits of the Vosges supplied with food and runitions during the long winter months when other road traffic is next to impossible. Another method of transport eman- ating from across the Atlantic is com- posed of teams of dogs from Alaska d Labrador. When snow puts out Of the questions any other means of conveying supplies to the troops, these animals are harnessed to sleds in teams of eight with a leader or guide chosen from the most intelli- gent among them and they make rap- id progress with heavy loads over the snowfields. On the day of the cor- respondent’s visit one kennel con- taining 150 dogs had just completed four successive days' work after a heavy fall of snow and had in that period conveyed from the valley to the front line upwards of fifty tons of food and other supplies. Besides the dogs from Alaska and Labrador there are many breeds of animals kept in the kennels usually dug into the rock at three or four thousand feet up the hill slope. They comprise sheep-dogs from Alsace, Scottish col- lies, mastiffs, and_cross-breeds. _ All of them apparently enjoy the work and they are of inestimable service to the troops. The correspondent had the oportunity of seeing their training at a kennel on one of the high peaks of the Vosges.
