Washington, D. C. Especially -
Expressing confirmed belief that
'pellagra" is likely to become in
this country public health problem
of greater proportions than can at
the present time be realized, G. H.
Lavinder, passed assistant surgeon,
Public Health and Marine Hospitals
Service, has just reported the results
of his investigations of the preva-
lence of that disease in the Illinois
State Hospital for the Insane to Sur
geon General Wyman AS prelude
to his report DIR. Lavinder states that
the housing, feeding and care of pa
tients in the institution are above
criticism.
AS soon as the strange malady
was discovered in the Illinois insti-
tuition and finally diagnosed as pei
lagra, the Public Health and Marine
Hospital Service was requested to
cooperate In the investigation of the
outbreak there. There are In the
neighborhood Of 40 or SO well-de-
fined cases Of pellagra in the insti-
tuition, according to DR.. Lavinder.
He states that the type of the disease
found there differs in some respects
from the general type he is familiar
with in the South, but that the dis
ease should vary in different local.
tiles is said to be not unusual.
The condition is, however" de-
clares DR.. Lavinder,. definite and
well marked and admits of positive
diagnosis. Inquiry was made as to
how much corn or its products en-
tered into the general diet, and it
was learned that corn is used spar
ingly, perhaps on an average of not
more than two or three times a
week. The quality of the meal and
hominy which saw was to all .ap-
pearances excellent / am unable to
assign any satisfactory local cause
Tor the extent of the disease in the
hospital.
! There is one phase of the situa-
ton in this institution which has
been common in my experience. Here,
as well as elsewhere, when the dis
ease was finally recognized the medi-
call STAFF can recall that the disease
has been in the institution for many
years, and the superintendent told
me that he now realizes that he has
had cases ever since the institution
was opened, eight years ago."

Rochester, MINI. Especially Gov
John A. johnson. of Minnesota. died
at st. Mary's Hospital here at S.25
O'Clock Tuesday morning after an i'll
ness of i've days 4 flowing an opera
ton for deep-seated intestinal alb
scess. His mind was clear almost tc
the very end, and at midnight the
Governor opened his eyes and said
to those in the sick room:
"Time drags so. am SO uncom-
Portable
The Governor fell over on his side
Z on the bed at lao A. M, and 1t was
thought he was dead. Mrs. johnson
tainted.
1t was hoped that the Governors
strong vitality would pull him
through, but the attending physicians
realized that the struggle was hope
less and that the end was only mat
ter of hours.
He was able to take little nourish-
ment, being able to retain almost
nothing except carbonated water
So weakened had he become from
lack of nonrishment that his physi-
clans determined that it was better
to run the chance of the nourishment
disagreeing with him than permit him
to remain longer without food of any
sort.
The operation ON Governor John
son was performed by DR.. William
J. Mayo, assisted by DR.. Charles, II.
Mayo, two of the most skilful and
noted surgeons in the country. The
Governor was on the operating table
2 hours and So minutes, and as soon
as he had recovered from the effects
of the anaesthetic his first words
were for Mrs. Johnson, who came
at once to his bedside.
The doctors found a small, deep
seated abscess connected with the in
testines. Several times saline injec-
lions had to be administered to slim
utlate his almost imperceptible pulse.
The Governor suffered much, but
complained little and displayed great
hopefulness and endurance. The day
after the operation he joked freely
with the doctors about his condition.
To DR.. McNiven, his family physician,
he said:
1--WE had close shave last night,
didn't we, Mac?"
Mrs. johnson is almost on the
verge of nervous breakdown and
Nher condition is causing her friends
worry.

The Drew County Farm.

Little Rock. Ark. Oct. 16.- Ihad simpson, general manager of the Frank Filler plantation in Drew county, where county con victs from Hampstead and Nevada counties are worked, has been in the city for several days attending to business connected with the business and he bitterly denounces Golfers Magazine and other pub Aca'tionS which have devoted a considerable portion of their space recently to alleged conditions on the county convict farms of Ark ansas. Simpson says that the farm with which he is connected has never figured in the articles from any just condition. He says that the man referred to in the Collier write up was credited with being on the Drew farm and when in reality he had never been any c.oser than the Chicot coun- ty plantation where convicts are worked. Simpson says that the natives who are taken to the con- ylct farms are easy to deal with but the foreigners are a source or trouble from the time they ar rive at the camp. They cannot be explained the conditions which brought them there says Simpson, and will never listen to reason starting correspondence with the consu,s from their countries, which keeps the convict contractor in hot water as long as they are in- carcerated on the farm.
