TREATING HOOKWORM DISEASE
DR. C. W. STILES DESCRIBES
METHOD TO BE FOLLOWED.
Doses of Thymol Given in Order to
Get at the Parasite?Regimen
to Be Observed.
I>r. "Wardell Stiles, the hookworm ex
pert of the Marino Hospital service, fur
nishes an important statement as to the
treatment of the disease. He says that
the fundamental principle underlying the
treatment of hookworm disease Is ? the
same as that which underlies all other
zooparasite diseases?ilrst. treat the
parasite and not the patient, and after
that is done turn to the patient.
The treatment to reach the parasite
consists In proper doses of thymol. Dr.
Stiles says that It is better to give the
treatment Saturdays and Sundays. The
patient should not have any food on
Sundays containing alrohol, fats or oil.
and milk and butter are especially bar
rr?d. So are patent medloines that are
likely to contain alcohol. Saturday even
ing a heavy dose of Kpsom salts is ad
min istered. Before the drug is taken
the patient is required to lie on his right
side and f.tay in that position at least
half an hour. Most hookworm patients
have enlarged stomachs, and if they lie
on their right side the drug has the bene
::t of gravity in passing from the stom
? u-h ii:to the intestines, where the hook
worm makes his home. The thymol is
given in two or three doses, generally at
?i o'eiock in the morning, then at S
o clock, followed by Epsom salts again at
10 o clock. Food must not be taken until
after the dose of Epsom salts at In
o'clock. Finely powdered thymol in cap
sulee. generally tive grains, is preferable
to most other forms. The quantity o:
thymol to be giv??n in one day differs .ac
cording to the age of the patient, rang
from .-"ven and a half grains fur
hildren under Jive years old, to thirty
to iorty-tlve grains f<>r persons uhos-e
sixty years.
treatment must b? repeated each
Saturday arid Sunday for several weeks
tntll the patient is relieved.

Commissioners to Keep Up
Fight in Congress.
NOT MANY NOW OPEN
Navy Yard Switch Responsible for
Tliose Remaining.
PLANS TO GET RID OF THEM
Text of Bill That Failed Last Ses- ,
pion and Which Will Probably
.
Be Reintroduced.
In iin ? with the improvement* in va
rious parts of the city for the elimina
tion of railroad grade crossings. the
? 'onirnissh>ners txpf^t to resume their
efforts before the next session of Con- !
irress for the removal of the present
switch to the navy yard, -which crosses
several streets In tho southeast scction {
of the city on grade.
The. only remaining grade crossings
in the city proper are those which re
sult from the continuance of this switch !
and spurs from it to manufacturing
plants nearby, and ? ffort.s have been
made for several years to have the rail
road ent ranee to the navy yard run
from the east of the government gun
shop .1 loug th<- bank of the Anaeostia
river. This will allow the removal of
the present tracks which cross ami run
along several streets at griiU>\
The plan of the engineer department
of the District government, approved by
the Commissioners, is to have the new
switch run from the main tracks ot the
Pennsylvania railroad about 1.000 fe?:t
w.st of the Pennsylvania avenue south
east bridge across the Anaeostia river j
and then run along the water front on
what will be "Water street to the navy
yard. Kxcept. that the tracks will run
along the street on the river bank there
will be no grade erossings.
The construction *?f this switch, it is be
lieved. will result in the development ol
the wiiter front between the navy yard
and the Pennsylvania avenue bridge, in
cluding the eonstrufceion of wharves and
the erection of warehouses. \N hile the
elimination of the present crude cross
ings of the present switch, running from
South Capitol street to the navy yard at
r.th street southeast, is the chief object
in the construction of the new tracks, the
development of the water front of the
Anaeostia river east of the navy yard
will, it is expected, be the chief ultimate
benefit.
The Bill That Failed.
A bill providing for the construction of
the new switch was introduced at the \
last regular session of Congress and,
with a few minor amendments, was ap
proved by the Commissioners. It never
became a law and it Is cxpected that the
passage of a similar bill at the next ses- j
sion will be urged by the heads of the ,
local government.
The till!, the general provisions of which
met the approval of the Commissioners,
provides:
'?That the Attorney General of the
United States be. and he is hereby, direct
ed to institute in the Supreme Court of ?

Anaeostia river from some point, to be
approved by the Commissioners of the
District of Columbia, between the bridge
over the Anaeostia river at Pennsylvania
avenue southeast and 1.000 feet westward
ly therefrom, and to follow the bank of
said river at such distance north of the
north bulkhead line of the Anaeostia
river, approved June 7, 19W. as mav be
fixed by the Commissioners of the District

Offices Openly Bought and Sold, j
According to Testimony Given at
Investigation Just Begun.
?|
MOKTRfcA 1.. August jl. -Testimony ^
showing that the city of Montreal has
lost millions of dollars in contract work
and that official positions of all kinds
have been bought and sold for years,
has been brought out by the investigation
;nto the city's civic affairs, begun by the,
provincial government several weeks ago.
The investigation has covered the ad
ministration 01" the police, tire and pub
lic works departments, each ot which
is controlled by a committee of ald*r
men. with au administrative chief ap
pointed by the committee In the tire
and police departments it is alleged tli;;t
appointments were openly bought and
sold at a price of .<200 each.
In the public works department sworn
testimony showed that the lowest bid
ders were !gn?>red, and the contracts
awarded to higher tenderers, who had
a pull with a certain middleman, who
conducted negotiations between the al
dermen and the contractors. Toe excess
price paid by the city for paving wan
shown to average sixty cents n yard. On
contracts let this year totaling $*>>0,000
the excess price, it is charged, amounter
to A man who swore that the
total value of his plant was less than
.<100. that he kept no books and could
produce no compVte set of check stubs,
was shown to have had contracts this
year in cxc? of SoOO.OOO. which lie
iarmed out to subcontractors at a hand
some protit. It is estimated that these
transactions have cost the city from
$250.00<? to .?.Vki.voo a year in one depart
ment alone.
The investigation is not yet complete.
It was begun at the instance of a citi
zens' committee, whl.*h raised the neces
sary funds and employed counsel to con
duct their case.
Partly as a result of the revelations
of the. investigation, and partly as a
movement for civic reform generally, an
election will be held lure September .0
on the question of reducing the number
of aldermen bj one-half and of estab
lishing a hoard of commissioners to ad

to the district attorney's office and
plunked down some securities* with a
surety company. The surety company j
wasn't satisfied Friday with the character
of the securities and so Mr. Adams ac
cepted an Invitation to remain over night
as the city's guest. intended, how
ever. to jump back to Boston today, but
the surety company's regard for the char
acter of his securities hadn't improved
oxer night and Adams was obliged to
send word to the Hub that he would be
unavoidably detained until Monday morn
ing. Louis J. Verhaus, Adams' counsel,
hustled around trying to find acceptable
bail, but along about 4 o'clock in the j
afternoon he mopped the perspiration off
his forehead, and wishing his client a i
pleasant Sunday, headed for his country
home. Verhaus savs that he will surely
have Adams out on Monday morning.

.lol^i F. Mclntyre, counsel for l?onald !
L. Pcrsch, who is also locked up In the ]
Tombs in connection with the loan scan- '
dais, called at the district attorney's j
office today. Mr. Xott, who has been j
handling th<* Windsor Trust CoCmpany;
ease, was not in, and Mclntjre saw As-j
slstant. District Attorney Hart. Persch !
is ready now to tell everything he knows j
about the Windsor transactions. He
has delivered a written statement to his j
lawyer, and Mr. Mclntyre will turn It j
over to the district attorney, provided j
he can get something In return for his:
client. It is certain, however, that the
district attorney's office will not grant!
immunity to Persch. The best he can 1
hope to get is a recommendation of j
leniency.
Lawyer Mclntyre believes that the evi- f
dence which Persch will furnish will pe j
sufficient to enable the district attor
ney's office to secure indictments against;
the men whom Persch contends were j
really behind the Windsor Trust Com
pany deal. Kven with Persch's evi- i
dence. the district attorney's office does !
not look for more than two other indict- j
ments in the case. It is exacted that \
these will be handed down Monday or i
Tuesday. }
Some of the directors of the Windsor
Trust Company are becoming restive
under the statement by Stirling Birming
ham's counsel that Birmingham has been !
made the "goat" by the officers of the j
Windsor. It is known that unless the
executive committee of the trust com
pany makes a report absolutely clearing
the officers of the company there will
be trouble at the coming meeting of the
company's directors
WANTS TO BUILD AIRSHIP.
New Torker Has a Plan to Anni-'
hilate Battleships.
Acting Secretary Wlnthrop has in- j
formed Henry T. Jones of ll? Nassau
street. New York, who offers to build an
airship fur the navy, that Congress hav
ing failed to make a provision for such a
purpose, the department cannot consider!
his proposition. j
In his letter to the department. Mr.
Jones said:
"What is the use of spending $20,000,000
on new battleships and $1,5<>U,000 to repair
the battleship Kentucky, when an a r
ship of the Zeppelin type can be built
to travel t.?X*> miles without landing, and
he under perfect control, except when In
a gale. It could destroy a seven-million
doilai battleship In a few moments, and
be in no danger or injury itself.
"If your department is interested in
an airship of this kind I'll agree to furnish
a four-hundred-and-fifty-foot-long ali
battleshlp. capable of carrying twenty
persons and enough ammunition -several
tons?to destroy a fleet of warships.
"Will also agree to furnish this airship,
fully capable of ftniilling the foregoing
requirements, in less time than it takes
to build a battleship, and will furnish
a fifly-thousand-dollar bond to this ef
fect."
