FFICE OVER JOHNSTON DRUG CO. Cause and Symptoms of Hook worm Disease. Hookworm disease is caused by a small, round worm which meas ures about half an inch in length and has the thickness of an ordina ry hair pin. It enters the body in a stage at which it is invisible to the nakod eye usually through the skin, thereby producing ground itch, and makes its way to the intestine, and becomes full grown. The parasite then feeds upon the blood of the host, causing Weeding places in the intestine, and in all probability has poisons whiob get into the Bystem and may destroy the blood of the person. Each bookworm lives from 10 to 15 years after entering the body. Outside the body they live in the soil. And in turn they get into the soil only through soil contami nation with the bowel discbarges of a human being. Therefore, we have the vicious circle, from soil to the person, and from person to tbs soil. If the human excreta were properly provided for and disposed of, the disease would soon be stamped out. The disease is found at all ages, in both sexes, in all classes and in both races. Mild. Symptoms: Ground itch is the first symptom, but is of compara tively little importance. The symp tons following ground-itch will de pend upon the number of worms present and the strength of the in dividual. The number of hookworms j in persons infected varies from one I or two to several thousand more. They do not multiply in the body. In a mild case of bookworm dis ease there may be no physical chang es in the parson indicating the pres ence of tin) disease, and there also may be no special symptoms. Thc person locks more or less healthy, has a good color, is well developed, etc. However, in many of thc mild clises, the person suffers regularly from indigestion or dyspepsia, may : have headaches, heartburn, pains in the stomach, poor appetite and a general bad feeling. Medium. In a case a little more severe, the person looks a little palo, skin little cloudy, and often suffers the above mentioned symptoms, usually the sumptoms being somewhat more in tense. Severe. In a case that is still more severe the person infected is markedly pale, due to the loss of blood, often sal low, face puffed, poorly developed, body and limbs showing impair ment in growth; puny, abdomen prominent, suffers often from weak ness, headaches, dizziness, symp toms of indigestion as alrpady men tioned, shortness of breath and pal pitations of the heart. Appetite with some poor, others ravenous. In a very severe case of hook worm disease the person infected is extremely pale, sallow, face puffed, stunted in growth, dropsical, very weak, unfit for any effort, either physical or mental, often has head aches, dizziness, great shortness of breath, severe palpitations of heart, pains in stomach, heartburn and often perverted appetite for suoh things as clay, etc. These have been known as "clay-eaters." It is not necessary for a person to have all these symptoms for him or her to have hookworm disease. It does not require over four treatments, given one week apart, to effect a cure. Even those severely infected become strong and well, soon regain a normal color, etc. The treatment is harmless. Anyone suffering from any of above symp toms should be examined. FRAUD PAINT. The worst mistake one is likely to make in paiuting is wrong paint; it is easy to make this ye3r when paint is so high. We all say "Ours is the best;" and there arc 1,000 of us. One is the best; but a dozer, are so near on a level that no one knows, for sure, that his is the one. The worst paints are worst liars; they know what they are, put-on a bold face, and brazen it out. Their one true argument is low prie:-; but low price paint is always, muir be, a fraud; it is made to cheat) cheax.-.ble people. TL- Edgefield Mercantile Co. sells ii.

FIND A USE FOR SWEEPINGS Street Refuse Makes Qood Fertilizer If lt ls Quite Free From Oil. The United States department Of agriculture has been conducting elab orate experiments to ascertain tho value of street sweepings as a ferti liser. J. J. Skinner and J. H. Beattie of the bureau of soils tried samples collected in various ways upon wheat, com and radishes and' found that hand sweepings were best, but not rearly BO good as well-rotted stable manure; that machine sweepings were about one-third ss good as hand and that decomposed a wee pin ga were almost useless. The reason for this waa that the sweepings contained much lubricating otL Tb? experimenters made tests of sweepings from which tbs oil had been extracted and found? that -both hand and machine sweepings pro duced, as good results as ptable ma nure, while the decomposed lags were not far behind. The department issues a bulletin warning farmers and gardeners that sweepings from which the oil has not been extracted will eventually impair the productiveness of solL uniese through drainage the olly material ls drained off or changed. The Whale's 8 on g. Whales are rarely thought of as vo calists, yet according to Mise A D. Cameron in "The New North," they really have a distinctive song of their own, > A certain Captain Kelly was the first to notiee that whales sing. One Sunday, while officers from three whal ing ships were "gamming" over their afternoon walrus moat, Kelly started up with "I hear a bowhead!" There waa much cheffing about "Kelly's band," but Kelly weighed anchor, and wsnt to find the band-wagon. Every sall followed his, with the result that three whales were bagged. Among bowhoads, this singsong is a call that the leader of the school, as he forces a passage through Bering Bee, makes in order to notify those that follow that the straits are clear i of ice. Walruses and seals and all true mam mals that have lungs and live m the water have a bark that sounds strange enough as it comes up from hidden ; depths. Every lookout from the mast head notioes that, when one whale is struck, the whole schcol is "gallied" OT stampeded ai tho very impact of j the ha r i xx) a ? they have beard the death song. The sound that Che bowhead makes \ Is like the long-drawn-out "boo-boo-oo ool* of the hoot-owL A whaler says that the cry begins on F, and may rise to A B, or even G before slipping back to F again. He assures us mat with the humpback the tone is much finer, and sounds across th? water like the note from the E string ef a vie Un. Strindberg Not at Home? In an appreciative article upon the late Auguat Strindberg, which ap pears in Harper's weekly, James Hun eker describes his Interview with tho Swedish writer. He traveled from New York in the hope of meeting him. It was a chilly night In June when hie friends threw gra-el' at Strindberg's window andnawled at him Present-! ly a tremendous head on a tremendous pair of shoulders cam? Into view. A volley of words, a verbal . broadside, and the window crashed down again. "After the laughter had died away I innocently asked what he had said 'as he retired," writes this author. "He told you to go to h- and never bother him agaia," he was Informed. British War Office Revives Historie Old Headdress ia the Service.
