s'Peliagra Is being found where there
Is no corn, and consequently the old
theory that corn or corn products was
to blame is being thought less OF. 1t
is, of course. quite possible the. the
germs may be transmitted through the
eating of corn, but the cereal itself Is
not held responsible so much as before
by those studying it closely in this
country"
DR.. v. II. Podstata, superintendent
at Elgin, is quoted as saying that pei
lagra is not new disease to Illinois
and no one should become frightened
because it is not contagious and is
not altogether traceabble to the eating
of corn. There was an outbreak four
teen years ago, put the doctors did
not know what it was in those days.
Medical authorities are now pretty
generally agreed that corn Is not to
blame and that the disease Is a germ
disease, although Just what the nature
of the germ is no one yet seems to
have discovered. ~

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

I'm the business outlook" says
Henry Clews, there is less enthusi-
asm than two or three weeks ago i'm
mediately after settlement of the tar
if This is probably due to failure
of extravagant expectations to mater
ialize; also to deterioration in the
corn and cotton crops which took
place in August The yield of both.
these great staples will now fall be-
low earlier expectations. The corn,
crop may still favor us with the big
gest yield on record; but a somewhat
serious deficiency is practically GER
tain in cotton owing TO prolonged
drouth in the southwest, and this
cannot but have a retarding effect up
on sections where the shortage is
greatest. Some compensation will be
derived by the high price Of cotton,
but prosperity in the South will be
spotty, and some Of the railroads will
have much less cotton to carry than
usual The lower prices realized for
corn must also affect the West. Last
year this crop was valued at $780,.
100000 and cotton at 500. 600 900,
and it is now questionable whether
either OF these crops will exceed in
value the yield OF 1908. 1t has been
estimated that this years agricultural
products would reach the sum of So
000.000000, compared with s7.7O0, OOO,-
900 last year. This figure still seems
possible in view OF the better yield
and good prices for many other
crops: but the too hopeful harvest ex-
pectations of a month ago have GER
tainly been modified by last months
unfayorable weather conditions. In
spite, however. OF the toning down
OF extreme optimism. the business sit.
uation Is very satisfactory; bank
clearings in August were more than
80 per cent ahead OF a year ago; trade
is steadily increasing in volume; con.
ditions are sound. and there is every
prospect for continued expansion dur
ang the remainder OF the year. At no

hALLEY,s COMET.

Halley's comet is to visit within
sight distance of the earth this IAN;
that is, at least, if the calculations
of astronomers are correct. Consid'
cradle difficulty has been expert
snced by them in the past in calcu-
lating the exact orbit cf this peculiar
visitor. This difficulty, it is said, is
iue to the perturbations caused by
The planets and other heavenly bod
les. which throw it out of its eliptical
orbit. sa
Telescopes in all parts of the world
IRE now sweeping the heavens to
catch the first glimpse OF this comet
when 1t returns. Observers at the
lick observatory on Mt. Hamilton,
5al, are in hopes of being the first to
zee it on account of the favorable sit
lation of the observatory.
The last time this comet was seen
vas in 1885. At that time it was not
is bright as at times when it appear
I'd previous to that. 1t has been
traced back even as far as 402 B. c..
Comets were seen from time to time,
but it was Edmund HALEY who first
calculated the path of this wanderer
IF the skies in the early part of the
eighteenth century, and showed that
L must be the same comet that had
been seen at various times before
hat period.
According to the calculations of
;ome astronomers it is not expected
o return to the sun until about 1910
Dr. 1911, but it is generally conceded
by most authorities now that it is due
his fall. 1t is Thought that it must
nave crossed the orbit of Jupiter
about the first of this year in its
light toward the sun, 1t is now
thought to be inside of Jupiter's path.
and is expected to be discovered by
astronomers at any time. During
he late fall it will probably become
visible to the naked eye.
During ancient and medieval times
comets were looked upon as being
evil omens, and as forecasting wars
or disasters. When Halley's comet
vas seen in 1866 it was thought to
have been a forecast of the conquest
Of Britain by William the Conqueror.
Their exact nature is not under
stood although it is thought they are
composed of gaseous masses or fine
particles of matter. Trailing behind
many comets is a huge tail. This is
true of Halley's. But the tail always
points away from the sun. Hence
when the comet has passed the sun
and is travelling away from it, its tail
precedes it in its journey.

PEIlAGRk,

1t is reported from Peoria that there
are more than fifty cases of pel'agra,
with fifty additional in. a, state OF re-
covery and fifty more under suspicion,
In hospital for the insane near that
city. An expert who was sent by the
medical corps stationed at New York
to investigate the outbreak is of the
opinion that the disease has long pre-
vailed, not only at the Peoria hospit-
al, but throughout illinois, as well as
through the great corn-growing states
of the west, including Iowa. The in
vestigator thinks conditions at Peoria
are deserving of special bacteriologi-
cal study, and it. is possible that the
surgeon-general of the army. may ar
range for a continuation of the investi-
cation, the results of which should be
of great value in preventing spread OF
the disease.
Until quite recently pellagra was
unknown in this country. 1t has pre-
vailed extensively at various times in
Italy, in the south of France and in
Spain, ana was general attributed to
the use of maize which was fermented
or diseased. 1t usually attacks the
poorer classes, particularly, in. the
country districts. In. the early stage
the symptoms are indefinite, charac-
terized by debility. pains in the spine,
sleeplessness, digestive disturbances
and occasionally diarrhoea. The first
clear manifestation of the disease is
an eruption on the skin, which almost
invariably appears in the spring. This
is followed by drying and taking OFF
Of the outer layer of the skin which
becomes very rough and dry, and oc-
casionally crusts form, beneath which
there is suppuration. With these GU
taneous manifestations there are di-
gestive troubles-salivatIon dyspepsia
and possibly dysentary. After lasting
"a few months Improvement occurs in
the milder cases and conyalescense is
gradually established. In the more Sc
we're and chronic forms there are pro-
nounced nervous symptoms-headach
backache, spasms and finally paraly-
sis and mental disturbances. The
mental manifestations, which are rare
ly met with until the third or fourth
attack, are melancholia or suicidal
mania
The medical experts now investigat-
ing the, disease at first hand at Peoria
and elsewhere in Illinois are disposed
to repudiate the idea that it is due to
the eating OF corn or corn products.
They incline strongly to the belief that
it rs a germ diseas and this belief is
strengthened by tire fact that pellagra
is being found in places where corn
is being eaten little or not at all.
Many English physicians are also
working on this theory and are gener-
ally agreed that 1t is not wholly due
TO corn. The reason that corn has
been blamed for the disease is that
in Italy. In the corn-eaung districts,
the disease was first discovered. and
the conclusion was reached that corn
was responsible. DIR. l.. j. Bullock,
physician connected wi.a the state
hospital for the insane at Cunning,
a., who has made special study OF
he disease, said in recent newspa-
per interview: =.
