VALUE OF ORGANIZATION.

Under the heading Org anization
Effective the Cedar Rapids Gazette
has brief article which reads as fol-
lows:
"A Cedar Rapids business man who
recently made tour OF two eastern
states, visiting the towns in which
there We're factories of various kinds,
says he noted this-the towns which
nave made the greatest progress are
the cities in which the business inter-
ests have been the most thoroughly
organized. The organizations were
Johnny-on-the-spot when it came to
looking after industries already estab-
lished or promoting new plants; the
growth of the city seemed to depend
on the thorOughness of organization
With cities as with individuals, it is
largely survival of tn, tittest-and
the fittest is the city which is the
widest awake, the quickest to recog-
nize opportunities and TO grasp the
opportunities with no uncertain

The foregoing points out very clear
~ the policy Keokuk must pursue
in order to reap the most benefit from
development of the water power.
Ihere must be organization and the
organization must be as capable and
thorough as it can possibly be made
The men at the head of the organiza-
ton must be strong men-men of
ability. energy, enterprise, influence
and standing, who command the con-
fidence OF the community and who will
give it their time and best thought
and efforts in return In order to
serve effectively they must be liber-
ally supplied with means contributed
by the community. Whatever is done
must be done by large men in large
way, in keeping with the magnitude
and Importance of the water power
project Thousands of dollars will be
required every year to carry on the
work as it should be carried on, and |
this money must be forthcoming /
promptly as occasion demands. The /
best method of raising the necessary |
funds is one of the subjects that |
will properly and necessarily come
before the people of Keokuk for their
consideration at the mass meeting to
be held in the Grand opera house
next Thursday evening.
Dubuque has organized what is calls
an Industrial Corporation for the pur
pose of advancing the interests of that
city. An organization of like char
acter here would seem to accord with
keokuk's present needs. 1t should be
a compact organization in order to
be able to act promptly and effect

pELLAeRA NOT DUE TO CORN.

For a long time it has been a very
generally accepted theory that the
disease known as ''pellagra, which
has been more prevalent in Italy than
other countries, has its cause in the
eating of food prepared from corn
There was some basis for this belief
in the fact that among the poorer peo-
pie Of the Italian provinces cornmeal
was largely consumed, and at times
it was put upon the market in an I'M
fit condition for human consumption
Late careful scientific investigation
goes far to show that our great Amer
lean cereal, which our people have
eaten with relish and good result
ever since the early pilgrims, in order
to ward off starvation, had to borrow
II from the Indians, has nothing TO
do with begetting pellagra
1t is now learned from a leading
English medical journal, the London
Lancet, that in the early part of the
year just ended a committee of path
ologists and epidemiologists was
formed for the purpose Of inyestigat-
ing the causation of pellagra. and at
a meeting held later it was resolved
that DR.. I. w. Sambon's hypothesis
viz, that the disease was possibly
due to a protozoal organism gaining
access to the human body by means
OF some biting fy-should be investi-
gated; an appeal was made for the
necessary funds. DR. Sambon pro-
ceeded to Italy In March, and recent
