WATCH OUT THE WILLIE
DOESN'T GET THE PELLAGRA!

King Corn. who was given a severe
jolt yesterday in the metropolitan pa
pers when it was announced that the
eating Of corn was largely responsible
for pellagra, a disease which is rare
but which seemed to be prevalent
through some portions Of Illinois. The
stigma, however was removed this
morning when noted physicians said
that corn ought not to be blamed for
the disease.
At present there are no known cases
of pellagra in Lake county, and the To-
cal physicians say that the disease is
very rare.
John Shoemaker. NJ. D., LII D, author
of a standard work on skin diseases,
has this to say of pellagra:
PeIIagra a Skin Disease.
"Pellagra is an endmeic constitu-
ton affection, characterized By severe
castro. intestinal and nervous disturb

symptoms. Any portion of the skin
may be involved. but the face, neck and

SHAW GIVES
A SPLENDID
EXHIBITION
Professional Pool and Bill
lard Expert Draws Small
But Appreciative Audi
ence-Seen in Some of His
Most Brilliant Plays.

Lew Shaw, the professional pool and
billiard expert, who gave an exhtbi-
ton at the Bijou billiard hall last
evening, deserved a large crowd of
spectators than he drew. Those, how
ever who had the pleasure of seeing
him were well repaid for their time, for
he gave a marvellous exhibition. He
started the performance with showing
the push draw and English ball. Us
ing four balls. he performed a series
of difficult shots. The standing ad-
vertisement about Lew Shaw that he
can make the balls do everything but
talk seemed right in view of last
nights demonstration. They seemed to
be possessed of life and answered the
least touch of his cue.
He was equally good on the pool ia
BILE, and there did some expert work
by handling the balls with his hands.
His star shot on the pool table was his
fourteen ball in one shot, each pocket
to receive one or more balls. He said
that he averages ten balls on this shot
and made that number last evening.

Judge Crumpacker Spends
Evening in Hammond
Tells Business Men of
Methods Employed in Ar
irving at Satisfactory Bill.

Congressman Edgar D. Crumpacker
was in Hammond. last evening. where
he met number of the business men
of the city and casually discussed the
work Of the recent session of congress
in framing a new tariff bill.
He gave his hearers an inside view
of the workings of the ways and means

ficulties that were met in erecting.
what he earnestly desired 4 downward
revision of the tariff
Mr.. Crumpacker said when the work
of revising the tariff was begun in
the ways and means committee its
members came to the conclusion that
It would be hard enough to have any
bin pass the house. a body of legfs-
lators which represents a great d.
versity of interests in the various
states. providing the bill had the unan-
imous support of the committee
Consequently, the members of the
ways and means committee took a
solemn pledge that they would sup
port the report OF the committee in
the house even if it did not fully meet
with their approval

conclusion that better times promote
matrimony. We doubt it. When

Members Of the board Of directors
OF the States Prison returned home
yesterday after their regular monthly
meeting. There was some difference
among the directors as to whether the
cotton from the State farm should be
sold for fifteen cents or be hx~ for
II IL, some believing it would reach
hat price. 1t was decided to sell half
the crop for fifteen cents and hold the
remainder till the price rises.
The board restored the salaries OF
the superintendent and clerk 10 what

board reduced the salary OF the sn-
