The brush eating instinct Of Anso-

trails for IRE guards through the
brushy areas on the slopes Of the
mountains
The animals. which number 3.ooo.
have been divided into two bands and
under the care of the herders are
srazed within certain well defined
areas. SO that their work may be con
ceutrated ON the brush within those
limits The result Is that they have
practically killed nearly all the brush
iu the course either 10y eating u up
entirely or by barking. as IN the case
of the heavy manzanita bushes. Al
the beginning OF the experiment there
was some doubt as to the goats VIII
ingness to eat the manzaniia. but u
has been found that where there Is
little else they will just as readily ut
tack II as any other bushes.
The grazing season was so ihte tnis
year on. the I.asSen forest that the
goats did not begin operations uhti'
about the middle Of June, but since
then they have made rapid progress
and the result PROMISES Ia I've sue

Is proposed to build the park. num-
Der Of well known automobile manu-

plans OF the track, every bit of which

PELLAGRA.

Pellagra, practically unheard
of in this country 18 months ago
at least the majority Of people
had never heard of it-has got
ten so common that almost every
day one reads Of a new case. 1t
was first attributed to the eating
of bread made of musty corn
meal, or to corn bread improper
ly prepared, but cases have come
to light in which the victims have
never eaten any food made from
corn, and the claim is now made
that it is a germ disease. Any
way,it has the doctors guessing
and no remedy has yet been dis
covered.
This disease first appeared in
Spain in 1735. It is also known
as Italian, or Lombardian, lepro-
y,or scurvy Of the Alps. Stel-
wagon says that alcoholic excess
es, poverty, poor hygienic sur
roundings and exposure to the
sun are predisposing factors. Il
usually makes it's appearance on
exposed portions of the body
on the backs of the hands, on ths
face, on exposed portions of thu
forearms, or, on those who q
barefooted, on the tops of tn
feet.
i Whatever it's cause, it woul
be hard to make people belieV
that eating properly prepare
bread made from good corn mes
has anything to do with it; bu
the trouble is one does not kno'
every time that the bread is S
made and many who have cate
] corn bread all their lives are di!
posed to shy at it now.
