Tim Murphy.

Tim Murphy, who is under the man. agement of Louis F. Werba, is fortun- ate in the possession of a great sue cess this season. Unable to decide between two good comedies which he selected from over three hundred sub- mitted, he decided to refer the nat ter to the public. The judgment of the public has been that the play is immense and Tim Murphy has created a new role unlike anything he has ever done before and unlike any other ever enacted, yet emphasizing, in it's excellence and its diversity. the re- marhable versatility of this comedian. Mir Murphy's bravery and generosity to the American dramatist is not un- appreciated by the public who regard him as the foremost exponent on the stage of American character and humor. Cupid and the Dollar is the title of the comedy, and it will be seen here at the Auditorium, Thurs day, February 10th, with Miss Dorothy 5herrod in the cast.
 MT. Murphy has given this play the same cast and production advantages that have characterized his long list of achievements. Dorothy Sherrod is his leading support

l75 VICTIMS
 OF PELLAGRA THAT NUMBER FOUND SUFFER- ING FROM THE DISEASE IN THE PEORIA HOSPITAL. Not More Than Two Ounces of Corn Eaten Daily by the Patients
 Who Were Affected.

Springfield H., Feb 5.-The state board of health has concluded its in- vestigation of pellagra, the mysterious disease which was@discoyered among the patients in the Bartonville insane hospital last summer and the state commission. of which Dr. Frank Bill lings is chairman, now will begin it's inqulr,-.
 In the current number of the board of health's bulletin is submitted one portion of the results of the boards investigation. It is a report from the pen of Dr. " H. Buhlig of the medi- cal college of the Northwestern uni yersity. He conducted a pathological and bacteriologic examination at the Rartonville hospital during last Aug. ust and September. There is yet to be printed the voluminous report of Capt Joseph F. Siler and Capt Henry J. Nichols, who were detailed by the War Department to make the inves. tigation at Bartonville. From Dr. Buhlig's report the follow ing summary of conclusions are raroen:
 1. or 2,15O inmates at the Peoria institution, the majority of whom have been almhouse and asylum inmates fer many years, 175 were pelagrous during the summer of 1909. No phy- sicians, attendants or employees were affected
 ?. About 70~ per cent of cases had suffered from previous attacks and pelagra has been prevalent at least four years.
 ,. The average age of cases was 90 years; the sex distributin~ was about equal
 4 Attacks were mild (skin symp- toms. mild digestive tract symptoms ; wit.hou, constltutional reaction) 9~l severe (marked skin and digestive ! tract symptoms with pronounced tox genial.
 ,. A diagnosis of pellagra is not warranted in absence Of skin symp toms. The symmetry of skin lesions was a most striking feature. When bleb formation occurred the death rate was high.
 6. T. was impossible to determine the exact extent of mental disturbance attributable to pellagra, as all patients were insane before the disease was recognized. The cases developed no suicidal tendencies. [ Mild cases recovered without therapeutic aid. Severe cases were not much benefited by Powders soIu. ton, atoxyl or thyroid tablets. & The disease impressei us as an lntoxication rather than an infection. g. No more than two ounces of corn were eaten per diem; no eyi- dence was obtained of the use of spoiled corn.
 10 The possibility of an intoxica. uon from bacterial action on corn products in damaged intestine is | considered the most rromisinp ae,a for study.

tuberculosis while the Federal Govern
ment has invested $l,0O0,G00 in hospi-
tails for the care of patients so afflicted.
The Government spends half million
year in maintaining these hospitals.
The fgnt against the spread of the
White Plague is on. The Federal and
State Governments are backed by appro-
priations from counties, cities, and pri-
vate societies, and this year the State,
county and city Governments alone will
spend $9,0O0,000 in the fight. 1t is esti-
mated that the total expenditures during
1910 in the campaign against Tubercu-
losis will be increased by one-fourth from
private sources which shows that public
sentiment is thoroughly alert and that
the people realize not only the need for
action, but the hope for success.
1t is too much to hope that the present
generation will see tuberculosis stamped
out in the United States, but men who
are now voters should live to see it rare.
The people are being rapidly educated,
both in the care of those so affi iicted and
in the prevention of the spread of the
disease, and the next decade is certain
to see wonders accomplished along these
lines.-Sioux Falls Argus-Leader.
