PELLEGRA IN IOWA
Health Officer Fears 1t Has Gained
FoothoId in State.
WILL INSPECT INSTITUTIONS
DR.. L. A. Thomas of State Board OF
Health Thinks Case at OakdaIe
Is Not the Only One There
Is in the State.

Des Moines, Dec. 4.-Oakdale is not
the only state institution in which
there is probably pellagra, according
to DR.. L. X. Thomas, secretary of the
state board of health. While Secre-
tary Thomas does not specifically
charge that there are cases of the
dread disease in other state institu-
tons, he does say that he has no
doubt that a thorough inspection OF
the other institutions will reveal cases
of the dread affection in other parts
Of Iowa.
1t is recalled that when DR.. B. l..
Eiker returned from the national pei
lagra conference he recommended
that a thorough inspection be made
of the state institutions in order to
determine whether the disease exist
ted there. The examination at Oak
dale revealed that woman who had
been there for three weeks had well
developed case. In view of the fact
that crtain grades of corn are said
to cause the disease, the health au-
thorities feel that there is probably
some of the disease at the other state
institutions.
THE commercial Importance of de-
termining at once whether or not
there is pellagra at the other state in
stitutions cannot be overestimated,"
said DR.. Thomas when discussing the
outbreak at Oakdale. Iowa is a great
corn producing state and it is of the
greatest Importance to know whether
or not the corn used in Iowa is pro-
ducing the disease which is common
among the peasantry of southern Eu-
rope"
The authorities are planning a thor
ough inspection of every state insti-
tuition so that if the disease is dis
covered anywhere else it can be
speedily eradicated

Conservation Board suspends.

The field work of the state con-
servation commission has been sus.
pended for the winter with the pos.
sible exception of investigations of
one or two rivers. The members of
the commission are waiting for good
solid ice before tackling this work.
1t is the intention of the commission
to do considerable of this river in
vestigating during the winter time
when they can make the surveys
much cheaper than in summer. The
lack OF foliage in winter time makes
1t easier to make the surveys be-
cause the men can walk on the ice
and survey from the middle of the
stream.
