SOME MEMBERS OF THE SUMTER SHRINE CLUB. Columbia. On all then? occasion* the Sumter Shrine Club has deported themselves In such a manner as to at? tract the attention of the Nobles throughout the State. At the meeting in Columbia In 1912. the Invitation was extended to Omar Temple to hold its ceremonial session in Sumter as their guests on Thanksgiving day In 1911 Knowing the personnel of this organisation us we do. we pre? dict for Omar Temple the best time they have ever had. The Sumter Khrlne Club was ask? ed by the Potentate to organize, if possible, an Arabic Patrol for the meeting on Thanksglivng in Sumter. At flrst it wan thought Impossible to organise this patrol for the reason that the membership of the club was not young men. but seeing the interest in such an organization, Noble Junius Parrott was placed in charge of the organisation, and the membership ral? lied to his aid, and you may see for yourself with what credit they will de oort themselves on this occasion.

The Hook Worm Campaign. pr. Rogers, the agent of the State Hoard of Health in charge of the Hook Worm Eradication campaign in Supnter county, will complete the sec-j onjfl round of the county, .spending a week at each of the five offices he has established for the prosecution of the work. He has treated quite a large number of persons, more than fifty per cent of those presenting themselves for examination having been found infected, but he reports that he is disapopinted th?.t more peo? ple have not taken advantage of the opportunity to be examined. The sta? tistics of the campaign conducted in this county two years ago show con? clusively that the percentage of in? fection in Sunuer county is very high, and that at the lowest estimate there are approximately t< n thousand per? sons in the county suffering from hook worm disease and therefore in need of immediate treatment. The people do not realize the gravity of this disease or ihe terrible penalty they and their children pay for neg? lecting the opportunity that is with? in their reach to obtain immediate and complete relief at no cost. Every man woman and child who is not in robust health, with good complexion, plenty of color in their cheeks and a normal appetite and good digestion should consult Dr. Hogers and be ex? amined for hook worm infection. The examination is simple and requires but a few minutes. The treatment in the event that it is established that hook worm infection exists, is sim Henry O. Strohecker. Past Potentate Recorder. pie, painless and harmless, if the di? rections are followed Relief from hook worm means relief from years Of ill health and in the case of a child gives the chance of normal and healthy growth and development that is impossible so long as hook worms are left to prey upon the vitals. It is worth a great deal t<> know for a cer? tainty that your child is not a hook worm victim und the State Hoard of Health is placing the opportunity within easy reach of every resident of Sumter county. Every child that goes bare-footed is liable to infection every summer, every child that has had ground-itch is certain to be in? fected, and those who have bare? foot children should have them ex? amined every year. It will not do to neglect this matter, for although the hook worm does not kill the child immediately ,it condemns it to a slow and lingering condition of ill-health and inefficiency that is almost as bad I as death.
