BREAD is KILLING FOLKS.
Death Results to Several in Georgia
From Eating Meal.

People addicted to the habit OF
eating bread-dear old cornbread-
are alarmed more or less at the
spread of fatal malady bearing
the terrifying name of pellagra, more
tatal than cholera, love or hundreds
of other deadly maladies.
II you have pellagra you had best
make terms with the undertaken, for
you are "all in" already.
The 'cornbread disease" as if is
commonly called, has claimed sew
eral victims recently in Georgia. At
lanta, of course, led with two of
these, who died of pellagra.
The third, negro farmer. has
Just died at the Grady Hospital.
The Grady staff were among the
first of the medical profession in this
section to encounter and diagnose the
terrible pellagra, and they have made
careful study of its underlying
causes and ultimate effects.
The disease is said to have started
IN Asia, and to result from the use
OF corn not properly ripened or
cooked. Pellagra is one of the hard
est of the known diseases to com
bat, and it is said to be rapidly
spreading throughout the south.
A year or two ago a large number
OF farm animals died in this section
from eating spoiled western corn.
Ihls, doubtless, was a form of pella-
gra. Wholesome meal is all right:
IL is only the rotten or sOured corn
made into meal that is injurious.
BE careful in buying your meal
and thereby sidestep the peIlagra and
the undertaken.

AIRSHIPS TO SAIL RAPIDLY
FRENCH COMPANY MANUFACT-
URING THEM, AND WILL PUT
THEM ON SCHEDULES.

PARASITIC rapid progress in the
conquest of the air made by French
aerOnauts and aviatOrs has led to the
formation of a company for the con-
struction of airships, at the head of
which are two of the best known
names in the aeronautical world Of
France
Several orders have been placed
with the new company, and before
long it is expected that sportsmen
who hitherto have found recreation
in other directions will sell their
yachts and motor cars and replace
them by airships and aeroplanes.
At the present moment a COM
mittee attached to one of the lead
ing aerOnautic declarations is engaged
in mapping out the whole of France,
and when permission has been OBJ
tanned from the people concerned
prominent landmarks will be erected
on conspicuous points in the various
departments of France, while a night
lighthouse" will guide the aerial
mariner past the danger that threat
ems disaster to his airship.
To Mark Down Distances.
Distances ''as the crow flies" con-
sidered hitherto as purely theoretical
will be those indicated on aeronauti-
cal time tables, and once the aero
plane becomes reliable means of
lOcOmOtion the traveller will be in
dependent of trains and motor cars
From a table which has been pre-
pared with the object of showing the
comparative times taken between GER
tain points by express trains and
aerOplanes flying at something less
than forty miles an hour it is seen
that while by the quickest trains and
steamers a passenger can go from
Paris to London in six and three
fourths hours, he may take the jour-
ney in an aerOplane in five hours and
forty minutes.
Between Paris and Brest the aero
pianist would beat the train by two
hours and eighteen minutes, but in a
race from Paris to Bordeaux the fly
ing man would get badly left, for the
train would arrive at It's destination
an hour and eight minutes before
him. From the capital to Marseilles
the time taken by the ''rapide" is
eleven hours and 70 rteen minutes;
that of the aeroplane is ten hours and
fifty minutes
The Air Travellers Advantage.
The aerial traveller would have a
distinct advantage over the man who
goes by rail if the destination were
Geneva; for whereas, the fastest ex-
press takes ten hours and fifteen min
utes the aeroplane would do the
journey in six hours and fifty min
utes.
From Paris to Brussel there is a
difference in favor of the older-fash-
Toned locomOtion of twenty minutes,
from Paris to Berlin the aeroplane
gets ahead of the train by two hours
and forty minutes, and the long
journey between the capitals of
France and Austria is shortened for
the aerial yoyager by saving Of six
hours.

KISSES NOT LEGAL TENDER,
NO Matter How Tenderly They May
Have Been Given. Saws Court

No Matter How Tenderly They MAY
Have Been Given, Says Court.
That kisses are often very exnen-
slye is a very well established fact
AT the same time kisses are not a
legal tender, however tender thew
may be in other respects. This prin-
clple of law was set up at Atlantic
CITY the other day, when a 6O-year-
ola sea captain sued a pretty voung
widow for the interest on money he
mad loaned her The defendant tes-
tined that she had repeatedly kissed
tne captain, and that he had told her
that SO long as she kissed him no
interest would be exacted. To make
capital of kisses is an old trick. and
TO kiss an old captain is frequently
productive of capital But the law
cannot take cognizance of the inter
est-paying value of kiss.

"CHINK"
DIES At WILLIS7ON
LEM KEEN, A REMARKABLE
CHINAMAN, DIES FROM A
KICK OF HORSE.

Williston, n. D., June 22.-Lem
Keen, the Chinaman whose funeral
occurred here today after his tragic
death resulting from a horses kick,
was one of the most remarkable Mon
golians that have come into this
country. He was a general favorite
with the white people and in every
way tried to be white" He had q
large ranch north of here, where he
lived with his white wife and his two
daughters. Fifteen hundred head of
registered cattle grazed upon the prai-
ries and his home was a haven for
most Of the travellers. His hospitabil-
ity was remarkable in it's proligality.
Public men would drive for long dis
tances out of their way to stop at his
ranch. A few years ago Senator
Hansbrough, who knew Lem Keen and
his good qualities, introduced a bill in
congress TO permit Lem Keen to make
final proof and receive title to his land,
just as any Caucasian might do. The
bill passed. Five years ago, during
the terrible winter all but a remnant
of the fine herd of cattle belonging TO
the patient Chinaman perished. But
he was equal to the emergency, and
he went ahead, and at his death he
was worth a large fortune. A ranch
hand went to the stable and found
Lem Keen lying unconscious on the
floor. He had been kicked over the
heart by wild horse, and death had
come quickly The white people here
took large share of the funeral duties
upon themselves and the procession
that followed the Celestial to the
cemetery here was a large one.
