No Exemption From Road Duty
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Oct. 9.—The pos
session of a physician’s certifi
cate is not in itself sufficient t«
exempt the holder from roiu
duty. This is the advice tha
Attorney General Moose ha:
given to Frank Ervin, ot Ox
ford, who wrote that he has t
certificate from a practicinj
physician to the effect that h<
is unable to perform manual la
bor. In reply to a question if
that would exempt him frorr
road duty, Judge Moose says
“I do not think it will. Tht
digest provides that all per
sons who are unable to per
form physical labor by reason o.
physical disability shall be ex
empt from working on th<
rnnds. There is however, n<
provision in the law for a cer
tificate to be accepted and th*
person furnishing it excuse*
from labor on the highways. Th'
certificate is not conclusive. 1
does not prove that the persor
is unable to perform labor bj
reason of physical disability. I
does not prove anything, for om
reason because it is not unde]
oath, and because the law doe
not provide for it. The onl;
question in such a case is whe
ther the person is really disabl
ed to the extent that he is no
able to perform labor- If h<
can perform labor for himsel
on the farm or in a workshop
the supposition is that he cai
work for the public on a high
way when he is warned, and i
he refuses to labor on the high
way, it will be the duty of th<
grand iuries to indict him an*
have the courts to impose th
punishment which the law pre
scribes.”
Babies Will Be Given Histori
Names.
United Press Dispatch.
London, Oct. 9.—Scores of ba
bies, born during the presen
war will bear for life names in
flicted upon them by parent
carried away with patriotism o
wishing to keep fresh events ii
history by the children whosi
names will recall the events. A
mong the child insurance regis
trations recently, were:
“Alsace Lorraine Jones,” am
“Louvaine Nicholls”- I
A similar epidemic prevailed [
during the South African war. :
This prompted a song which be- J
came popular and a chorus of
which went:
• | “The baby’s name was Kitch
ener, Carrington, Kekewich,
Methuen, White,
r Cronje, Kruger, Powell, Majuba,
» Gatacre, Warren, Colenso,
r Bright;
i Cape Town, Mafeking, French,
Kimberly, Lady Smith,

Figs. 25, 26 and 27. Della Cardler, Grant county. When first seen was 1*
years old, confined to her home, having been practically an invalid since four
years of age. For many vears she had been treated for chronic malaria and
tuberculosis, without results. Over two years ago she was found to be suffer
ing from hookworm disease, given treatment and in about a year following, cut
No. (J illustrates graphically her physical condition. Her mind is now very
active, and she is one of the most beautiful young ladies in Grant county.
Tltfere is a marked effect on both the
physical and mental development of a
child. Comparative estimates have
been made in many schools and col
leges, and it has been shown that
those infected with hookworm disease
had a general average grade of from
eight to twrelve per cent lower than of
pupils not infected. The same is true
of athletics, it being rare to find a
hookworm subject on the best foot
ball, baseball or track teams. A great
many other tests have been made, too
numerous to mention here, but al! tell
ing the self-same tale of deficient men
tal and physical development and vi
tality. Furthermore, hookworm disease
predisposes to every other disease,
and if any other disease is contracted
the patient is much more liable to suc
cumb, as the vitality is lowered.
It is estimated that each worm
draws one drop of blood every twenty
four hours, and in addition injects a
toxin that poisons gradually the entire
system, thus it is easy to see how a
large number of worms would soon
sap the energies and vitality from the
health of the Individual.
Many of the dropsical cases sup
posed to be due to kidney trouble and
many of the thin emaciated subjects
thought to be due to consumption are
found to be infected with hookworms,
and respond readily to the treatment,
and many of the tubercular cases that
go on and die would get well and live
out their expectancy if all those in
fected would have treatment and give
nature a chance to restore health.
Thus it is Seen that the effects of
the disease are almost limitless.
Superintendent cf Public Instruction
George B. Cook says it is costing Ar
kansas one-fourtn its annual cotton
crop. This is entirely too conservative
when all its phrases and ramifications
and end results are taken into consid
eration.
Treatment.
The treatment is simple and effec
tive. Various remedies are used, with
more or less uniform results. Thymol
i6 the medicine used exclusively by the
Arkansas State Board of Health. Fol
lowing are instructions for the pre
paration of the patient and the ad
ministration of the thymol.
Direction for Taking Hookworm Treat
ment.
1. Eat a light dinner and no sup
per the night before taking the medi
cine the next morning. v
2. Take a dose of fresh salts a'
supper time.
3. Next morning, no breakfast; takf
one dose of worm medicine at six, th<
other at eight o’clock, and remain it
Jld on the right side while taking th<
medicine.
4. Take a dose of salts at tet
o’clock of the same morning.
5. When this has acted you may ea
anything not greasy or oily.
6. If dizziness or weakness is ex
perienced, drink strong, plain coffet
or tea.
7. From two to five treatments ter
(ftiys to two weeks apart are necessarj
to effect a cure. It requires one-hal
day to give each treatment.
The thymol is administered in equa
parts of sugar and milk, and is giver
in dosage proportionate to age, ant
should nor. be prescribed by anyont
other than a physician, but may b<
taken or administered with impunity
after having been prescribed.
