MUSHROOM DISH.

A mushroom dish new to many per-
sons combines oysters with them.
The mushrooms are first cooked in
butter. Then they are placed cup
side upward in a shallow dish, an
oyster is put into each cup, it is
sprinkled with salt and pepper and
the dish is put into the oven and kept
there until the oysters plump. They
should be served with beehamel
sauce.
For the sauce season a cup and a
half Of white stock With slice Of
carrot, slice of onion, bit of bay
leaf, half dozen whole peppercorns,
sprig of parsley, and cook for
fifteen or twenty minutes. Then
strain, blend with three tablespoon
fuls of -four and the same quantity of
butter rubbed to cream, add cup
full of hot milk, season with salt and
pepper. New York Sun.

BILE life ceased and vegetable life
would fail if animal products were not
available for its sustenance.
This is an interesting cycle of
events, but the performance Of a cycle

Of these alternate and great syntheti-

1T may happen, therefore, that a
horrible struggle for existence be-

sue if for any considerable period the
sun was shut out from the world, for
then this agreeable interchange Of

FOR BOARD OF EDUCATION.

Mrs. Sarah e, Greene is the first
woman in Montclair, N. j., to be pro-
posed by the male voters of the town
for membership on the Board Of Edu-
cation. AT q recent meeting Of the
Upper Montclair Republican Club her
name was proposed and many Of the
members took up the cudgels in her
behalf with such vehemence that It
is reported to have been one of the
most tumultuous meetings on record,
When a motion was made to in
dorse Mrs. Greene it was finally voted
down and it was decided to appoint
committee to confer with the Demo-
cratic Club on the advisability Of
nominating woman for the Office.
If the Democrats agree it Is expected
that Mrs, Greene will, be the nominee
of both parties and will be elected
without opposition unless the anti
suffragists put up candidate. New

TOAST MERINGUE.

This is sort Of idealized toast
which proves tempting to the capri
cious appetite Of an invalid. A slice
of thin, evenly Drowned toast is
dropped for an instant into fresh boil
ing water that has a pinch of salt in
it. over the range meantime have a
tiny saucepan or cocotte with three
tablespoonfuls milk and little piece
of butter about the size Of a hazelnut.
AS soon as hot add the stitf1y beaten
white of one egg and let cook just
long enough to heat thoroughly. Pour
the cream and egg over the toast, COW
er with hot plate and get it to the
invalid as quickly as possible. Like
most other foods prepared for the sick
the success Of this dainty depends on
its careful making, attention to details
and hot and quick service. - New

DEPENDENCE. ON VEGETABLES.
P-ancs Are. at Bottom. the Source Of A
Nutrition.

The distinction generally drawn be-
tween animal and vegetable food is
apt to blind us to the fact that plants
are, at bottom, the source of all nutri-
ment, and that if they were to cease
to grow mankind would starve. Says
a writer in the London Lancet:
"The modern chemist points proud
ly to his synthetic triumphs, but with
all his skill and knowledge he has not
yet succeeded in preparing in practi-
cal quantities for his fellow men a
foodstuff from it's elements. The syn
thetic processes of the plant are so
far inimitable, and the plant is after
all both the direct and indirect food
of the animal
1.-THE relations between plants and
animals form beautiful dispersal
tion, and for the vegetable kingdom
man should hold a deep reverence
and do his best to extend and promote
its faithful Offices Whether his
views are in favor of the exclusive
diet of vegetables or of diet con-
tanning both animal and vegetable
products he owes the vegetable world
more than one debt. He is at the
me@cy Of the vegetable for his food,
whether it be animal or vegetable,
and he may be at the mercy of the
vegetable for a supply of oxygen,
without which the vital processes of
his organism could not be sustained.
1T is thus conceivable that as the
animal kingdom exists only by virtue
of a continual combustion process, in
which air is taken up while carbon
dioxid is liberated, the loss Of an
agency which not only removes this
product of respiration but sends back
oxygen in its place would be disas-
trous. This agency is, of course, the
plant, and, in short, the animal and
the plant are interdependent on each
other.

Danger in SPIDERS Web.

The French scientific journal, La
Nature, warns its readers against the
time-honored custom of using spiders
webs to stop bleeding. Remarking
that old webs from stables are pre-
ferred by those who resort to this
remedy. it points out that such webs
are peculiarly liable to be infected
with the microbes of various diseases
which may be communicated from
animals to man. Among other affiic-
lions that have been traced to the use
of old, dusty spiders webs bound
upon wounds is the dreaded tetanus
or lockjaw.

PEELAGRA.
The Disease That is Now Found in Parts Of the South


>c~>N- Ns>N~~N
der the influence Of unidentified para
site growths (fungi) has undergone
certain changes with the production
OF one or more toxic substances of a
chemical nature. The relation be-
tween Indian corn and pellagra was
noted as long ago as early in the nine
teenth century, and about the middle
of the century Balardini first put
forward his "verdet" theory already
noted above.
The culture of maize in the United
States has been practiced since before
the discovery of America, and it has
always been staple article of diet
over large area Of territory, yet,
with the exception Of few sporadic
cases in Mexico and Central America,
the North American Continent has
been sfngularly cree from the disease.
This has been attributed by writer's
on pellagra to climate we'll adapted
to growing maize and probably to
better general hygienic conditions
among the poorer rural classes.
Exclusive of Sherwell's note on
case of pellagEa seen in sailor
aboard ship in New York in 1902 the
first case of the disease in the United
States was reported by Harris of
Georgia in~1903. He reported one
case presenting the classic symptoms
Of the disease and thought it possibly
true pellagra
Searcy, of Alabama, in 1907 de-
scribed an epidemic of pellagra oc-
curing in the Mount Vernon Insane
Hospital (for colored insane of Ala
bama). There we're eighty-eight
cases and f1fty-seven deaths. He
states that a few cases of such dis
ease had been noted there as long ago
as 1901, but that their real nature
was unrecognized. He also states
that after attention was called to the
disease some cases were recognized
in the hospital for the insane at Tus-
caloosa.
His cases generally ran more or
less acute. course and the mortality
was very high (about sixty-four per
cent?. He with McCafferty and Som
erville, of Alabama, and Dyer, of
New Orleans, regarded the disease
as pellagra.
Since his report Merrill has re-
corded a sporadic case in Texas.
More recently in a report made to
the South Carolina Board of Health
by the medical members of the Board
Of Regents and the medical staff of
the State Hospital for the Insane
several cases of similar disease are
described, and the opinion is ex-
pressed that while a pellagroid dis
ease is undoubtedly present in South
Carolina it remains to be proved
whether it is the true pellagra of the
Old World, the observations being too
few for final opinion Marked at
tention is also directed to the FREE
Quent presence of hook worms. This
report also makes reference to the
report of the Alabama hospitals on
the matter, but have been unable to
see this.

Pellagra has been known to Spain
since 1876 and was first described
by G.. Casal, of Oviendo, who, observ-
ing the disease among the Asturian
peasants and finding nothing on the
subject in medical literature, called
it NAL de la rosa (from it's character
istic erythema). He regarded it as a
kind of leprosy Later it was OBJ
served and described under variety
of names in Spanish literature.
1t seems to have appeared in Italy
about 1850, but was first described
there in 1911, and FrapolH of Milan
first applied the name of pellagra
(Italian, peNe skin, and agra
rc,lgh) to the disease. Here, as in
Spain, the disease was described I'M
der several different names. BY 1884
It seems to have become of such i'm
portance that hospital was estab-
lished under royal authority for a
study of it's nature and the elder
Strambio was placed in charge. About
1910 Marzari first called attention to
the relation between maize and pei
lagra, and in 1874 Balardini first
suggested the theory that the disease
might be due to spoiled maize-that
is, maize which had undergone
change by reason of the growth of
fungi on the grain.
The disease has been and is YER
liable scourge to certain parts of Eu-
rope. It seems to have followed close
upon the introduction of maize Gull
ture from America, first in Spain in
1900, and later in other parts of Eu-
rope. The original homes of maize
(American and Asia) have, however,
escaped, probably by reason of eli
mates better adapted to maize Gull
ture. The pellagra zone is small
when compared with the area over
which maize is cultivated, yet pella-
era does not occur except where maize
is grown and extensively used as food
by the poorer classes.
Without quoting full data, some
idea of the extent of the disease may
be gained from the figures which fol-
low: Triller states that there are
'(1906) 10000 pe1lagrins in Ruman-
ia; that in certain parts of Italy as
much as thirty per cent. to fifty
per cent. of the population have the
disease, and that in 1899 there were
nearly 10000 sick with the disease in
all Italy, this being upward of ten to
the thousand of the rural population.
Tuczek states (1893) that in Spain
two per cent. of the rural population
are affected; that in 1884 there were
10000 pellagrins in Italian hospitals
and insane asylums He also says
that about ten per cent. of the pella-
grins in Italy are mentally affected.
Sandwich states that he has seen over
800 cases in the, five years from 1893
98 in his wards at the Kasr ell Amy
Hospital at Cairo. The disease was
not reported in Egypt till 1893.
1t is the accepted opinion of most
students of the disease that pellagra
is an intoxication due to using as
food Indian corn (maize) which un-

A Spanish War Criticism.

When the Spanish war came upon
Is Commodore Dewey was at Hong
kong. The navy department had sent
him no preliminary orders. He didn't
know anything about the ultimate pol
icy or what the ultimate plan of cam
paign would be- The navy department
didn't itself know. Dewey should
have moved two or three days sooner
than he did, and two or three days
sometimes are vital. But our Wash
ington officials were only aroused to
the necessity of giving Admiral Dewey
an order by cablegram from Dewey
informing them that the British gov
ernor Of Hongkong insisted that our
feet must leave there. We were SO
dazed by the immediate exigencies Of
war that the English government had
to prod us In the ribs to wake us up.
Then our Washington authorities is
sued an order and not till then. They
told Dewey to proceed to the Philip
pine Islands and capture or destroy
the Spanish fleet. In other words,
they gave him the stereotyped war or
