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

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.

Eastern manufacturers are looking
to the northwest for hardwoods for
