BRING 0\ HOOKWORM
1XSEASE
Austin. Texns. Mny 20. 1H4H.—
Hookworm dise:.r-e is found frequent-
i iy in those communities where sani-
tary toiiet facilities are inadequate.
! and where infected human excreta is
! permittted to contaminate the soii.
Persons who come in contact with
that soii, either by going barefooted
or by handling the dirt, contract
hookworm disease when the hook-*
worms from such soii bore through
their skin and make their way to the
human intestine.
"The main characteristics of hook-
worm disease," says Dr. Geo. W. Cox.
State Health Officer, "are iisttessness
and apparent laziness, and many a
child and adult has been called lazy,
when in reality he was suffering
from hookworm disease. Sometimes
there is abdominal pain, nausea, and
diarrhea, but this is unusual."
Inability to perform efficient work
and general weakness of the patient
make this disease not only a public
health but an economic problem, and
it can be eliminated only by carefully
following two steps: first, providing
sanitary disposal for human wastes
and by treating until cured, all in-
fected persons. When the infected
persons are cured, and can no longer
transmit the worms to others, and
when safe sewage disposal is at the
command of all homes and com-
munities, then hookworm disease
need no longer cost the people of
Texas the tremendous sum that it
now does, annually, both in money
and sickness.
Dr. Cux stated that the treatment
of hookworm disease should be done
by a competent physician, and not
by self-medication. Full information
for building sanitary privies may be
had upon request, from the Texas
State Department of Health, Austin.

Uneasiness marked most trading
at southwest farm markets this week,
despite stronger prices for some
livestock, feed and grain, reports the
Production and Marketing Adminis-
tration, U. S. Department of Agri-
culture.
Although grain markets were un-
settled last week, sorghums advanced
3 cents per 100 pounds Monday com
pared to the previous Monday.
Also, oats went up 2 cents per
bushel, corn a half cent to 2 cents
and barley a cent. Wheat held
steady.
Arkansas strawberries sold un-
changed to 25 cents a crate higher
for the week. With the season about
over in the Texas Coastal Bend dis-
trict, cucumbers weakened at S3.50
to $4 per bushel. Tomatoes moved
out of the Lower Rio Grande Valley
in volume, although late week rains
delayed hauling. Prices gained stead-
ily as U. S. No. I green, wrapped to-
matoes loaded at $5 to $5.50 per lug
box of 6 x 6 and larger. Bantam
type corn held about steady, but
white corn lost 75 to 90 cents a
bushel, selling around $1.35 to $1.50
