EOT EATERS
AND HOOKWORM
U. S. Health Officer Returns
From Three Years South
American Trip. People Eat
Even Bricks in Their Houses.
Ban Francisco. —Dr. Geo. M. Con
verse, of the United States public
health service, has returned to San
Francisco after almost three years
spent In Iquitos, Peru, whither he went
at the request of the Peruvian gov
ernment to try to ascertain why the
inhabitants of Iquitos were dying at
the rate of 50 por 1,000 per annum
and why virtually the entire popula
tion was always either ill or ailing.
Dr. Converse traveled 2,300 miles up
the Amazon to reach Iquitos. Yellow
fever and hook worm were the diseases
causing the most trouble. At least 90
per cent of the people were suffering
from hookworm, said Dr. Converse
today. He found the city very filthy
and immediately instituted a clean
lng-up campaign. There was no hos
pital or facilities of any kind afforded
by the municipality and the American’s
work was considerably handicapped.
But before he left Dr. Converse had
succeeded In reducing the death rate
to 21 per 1,000, he said, and had es
tablished a well established clinic
which he says will at the end of ten
years have succeeded In saving the
lives of four thousand afflicted in
habitants.
"Hookworm infection," ho says,
"makes the people earth eaters. Clay,
fondles and even the bricks of their
houses are eaten as a consequence
of the peculiar appetite engendered by
the disease.

Goods Made in the Fatherland
Bin Francisco.—Baron E. II von
Rclrark, Imperial German consul, urg/d
Germans throughout America to boy
cott goods manufactured by nations
hostile to their country In an address
last night at a benefit for German
wounded soldiers, widows end or
phans.
“The Allies," he said, "always envi
ous of Germany’s commercial pros
perity have utilized the present occa
sion to slander German Industry. With
cold blooded contempt of all commer
cial treaties and of their own - laws
they are suppressing German commer
cial houses within their own countries
and are now annulling or plainly
stealing German and Austrian patents
of Inventions.
“Here In the United States are 12,-
000,000 Germans or German-Amerl
cans. Placing the buying capacity at
only $ 150 per annum, their yearly pur
chasing power Is $1,800,000,000.
”f,et me suggest a better system of
buying. You should buy articles of
German or Austrian origin If you can
not obtain American-made wares. Be
fore buying ask where the article was
made. Be loyal to America and he
loyal to your old fatherland.’’
