She is a Boston bull dog who sated the life of her mistress Mrs. Bryan, of New York. In a light kituona she caught fire from a gas burner, aud when she screamed Stella came bounding to the rescue and seising the biasing garment tore it off with feet and claws and took it to the kitchen for u douse in a pail of water. Then by barking the dog called in the neighbors, who found the woman but slightly shocked and burned. Now Stella has a gold mounted collar, a new crib, and a China plate. moment; and there are at least two drugs which are most potent In free ing the human system of the parasites. It should therefore be relatively sim ple to locate and to cure those who have the disease, to prevent others from contracting It. and thus to bring about, within limited areas at least, its complete eradication. Although the problem of complete eradication is simple when statpd on paper, it is -not so lu practice. The t board has been engaged in work against hookworm disease since 1910. similar work was undertaken lu Porto Rico I d 190». and the attack on the disease in the mines of Belgium. Hol land and Germany began as early as 1902. yet it is Impossible to point to any one mine or area from which the infection has been completely eradi cated. In the mines of Germany it i was reduced from 16.8 per cent In 1903 to .18 per cent In 1912; in those of the Netherlands, from 25 per cent in 1903 to .32 per cent in 1913. and In those of the Liege district of Belgium, from 22.8 per cent In 1902 to 1.2 per cent in 1913.

It Is seldom possible to examine every Individual In an area or to treat until cured all who are found Infected; when latrines of a proper type are In stalled in sufficient numbers to pre vent soil pollution. It Is still necessary to accustom the people to the use of them—and this is a task that usually requires a long period of education and enlightenment; and even when both the foregoing condition« are ful filled there still remains for n time the danger of reirifection from hookworm larvae already in the soil.“ After an extended survey of Its ex perience with reinfect bins, which w ere found to show the highest rates on es tates In Ceylon, the fouudation re ports: “These high rates of reinfection should not be accepted as Indicating that no considerable progress has been made toward bringing the disease un der control. It should be remembered that the problem of hookworm control Is primarily one of reducing mass In fection. The practical phase of the tnsk Is concerned with the removal of the largest possible numtier of worms from the largest ja>sslble number of Infected persons. Upon this basis the best criterion for judging the effective ness of a curative campaign In tiny area 1.« not the fiercentage of Infected person« who are curial or who remain cured, but the proportion, expelled and destroyed. of the total worms har bored by the population.

It 1s hoped that a series of studies may soon be made which will supply dellnite ex- • peri men tai proof on the phases of hookworm control which still require : further Investigation. “One of the Inost itn|xirtnnt factors In need of further study is that relat ing to the viability of hookworm larvae in soil and media.

The home demonstration agent visited eight shafts with the foreman of the mines to obaorve conditions. Before making suggestions she also made an Investigation of the character of lunch which was carried by the mln era. She found that many take none at all. Uf the 1.020 men who carried their lunches, only 61 had bottle« which keep liquids hot. The rest ate an entirely cold meal at noon.
