The hookworm disease is not confined con-fined to any particular class. Many an embryo actorine becomes afflicted with the hookworm disease on her first and last appearance before thr public. In the case of the ambitious voting woman wo-man whorii: soul's dnairo is to" make the audience laugh and don 't, the. hookworm disease is pitilessly cruel. Why should sho get the contagion just as a waiting world is on its toes of expectancy to hear her voieo or to go into hysterics over tho funny things she says'? When the hookworm disease gets next to tho imiatonr actress sho becomes morose, despondent and itchy. She forgets to feed the canary bird and tho hairless dog often goes without his blanket. Sho becomes lirmlv convinced that men are made of hardtack. While tho hookworm disease in the dramatic world has a serious and deteriorating de-teriorating effect, upon tho brightest star-lo-be in tho r.-holc constellation, "Tho embryo actorine is predisposed to the hook-worm disease.' ' many p a thousand dollar house is saved tlie iKings of suffering the disease itself. it-self. The hookworm himsidf is built on long, low and rakish lines, liko a pirate's pir-ate's ship of yoiv.

He is an insinuating bugger. Ho worms himself into your coiifidem-e and into your anatomy beforo you kuow it, and when he ouco gets iu ho re fuses to jar loose. Ho has dingers that cling. Io fastens his clingcrfi to the inside of your intestines and proceeds to make himself comfortable. He's a stayer. You cau't ge,t rid of him any easier than you can of a poor relation. re-lation. Ho fills up on the best blood you've got in your veins, so that vou have alt the whilo -got to keop drink'iug red stuff to niakij red blood cells.

' Tho doctor book says that the hookworm hook-worm Mirivt'Jj well ou .the insides of jKople who eat plcnl dirt, t'layeati'rs iu .North Carolina ami Georgia, are especially es-pecially an i di itiug field for the hook- worm. Thus, it wore well to uso tho utmost caution in eating dirt. Onlv the best and tried brands should be eaten. Inferior dirt should never be ted to infants in. arms it may provo fatal. Men who dig in tunnels, the doctor book says, aro - subject to tho hookworm hook-worm disease, .because, presumably, if they can't dig out tho dirt, fast enough with their shovels fhev bito it out and swallow it, carrying it to tho dump in that way. Bricklayers, too, are in danger from tho hookworm. The book docs not say whether a fireclay brick, swallowed without being prop orb' diluted, is more perilous than a common, ordinary paving brick. Bnt it is safo to say that both and nil classes of brick arc bad, and should be taken only on tho advice of the family physician. The hookworm is the root of the word "hooky." This ailment is more prevalent among schoolboys in the springtimo and -'long about lishiug time. The hookworm disease is not necessarily fatnl to the schoolboy, but frequently his presence renders it extremely ex-tremely uncomfortable when the principal! prin-cipal! makes up his mind to beat tho truant down to tho ground. H i Many people, especially the poorer classes, make uso of tho hookworm as an article of household convenience. Tho hookworm, properly bent and petrified, pet-rified, makes an e.Tcellcut clothes hook for tho closet. If ho only had a screw on the end of his tail, tho insorting of him would bo easier as it is, people have to nail him on. |
