PELLAGRA THEORY DENIED.
Atlanta Woman Has the Disease Who
Never Ate Any Corn Products.

Atlanta, Ca, August 30.-A case of
pellagra, the victim OF which claims
never to have eaten .orn bread or any
corn products, has been uncovered in
Atlanta. Mrs. Kate Barto is the pa
tient, and she is in the last stages
of the disease.
DR.. Frank Eskridge, who claims to
have treated many cases of the dis
ease, says he doubted his own diagno-
sis and thought she might be VIC
tim Of "sprue," a disease known to
the tropics, with symptoms resemb-
ling those Of pellagra. He called in
a physician who has had years of ex-
perience in the tropics and found that
his original diagnosis was correct
II am convinced now," he said,
that the disease does not come from
musty corn products"

PANAMA CANAL GRAFT.
Congressman Bennett Writes Secre.
tary of War Alleging That Govern
ment is Being Robbed

New York, Aug. 2S.-Representa-
tive William f. Bennett, in a letter
to the secretary of war, made public
here, charges the purchasing depart
ment Of the Isthmian Canal Commits
sion with gross extravaganza and fav-
oritism in connection with the pur-
chase of paint used for the barges.
dredges and other vessels engaged in
canal work. His letter. he says, is
only the opening gun in a campaign
which he hopes may result in the
establishment of central purchasing
bureau for the government.
1T is reasonable to assume" the
letter concludes, that a purchasing
department which has bought nearly
fourteen times as much of an article
as was necessary nd under conditions
apparently where it could not be
used. is engaged in other similar and
possibly larger transactions.
In supplementary statement Mr..
Bennett says:
THE contract system in all govern.
mental departments is subject to crit
icism. There should be a central pur-
chasing bureau for the United States
government and then the possibilities
of graft would be reduced to a mini

tract for cement was closed with a
concern whose price was between
100000 and 100000 above that of
the lowest bidder.

What Southern Soils Need Most.

III any one need of Southern soils
could be singled out as the greatest,
then unquestionably that greatest need
would be organic nitrogen-nitrogen
supplied through the agency of decay
ing vegetation. That nitrogen is need
ed on almost all our soils, thousands
of experiments and almost universal
observation prove beyond doubt. That
farmers recognize this fact, is also
proved by the millions of dollars an
nually spent in the purchase of COM
mercial nitrogen.
When the nitrogen needed by our
soils is obtained through decomposing
legumes there is supplied something
more than nitrOgen-humus. This hu-
mus is no less necessary and will as
surely increase the production of our
soils by improving their physical con-
ditions. The growing of nitrogen. or
rather the growing of nitrogen-gath-
ering crops, therefore, supplies the
TWO needs of our soils, which, taken
together, unquestionably stand first in

tial or permanent soil improvemt.-
