became very respondent and betook
himself, as one stricken with sick

and in the kings presence asked him,
How many years have you 20 live"
He replied, Twenty" The viZier or

executed In the kings presence. The
king was satisfied and commended the

NOT DUE TO CORN
Illinois Pellagra Commission
Finds Cause Must Be Look
ed for Elsewhere.
FIRST TO INVESTIGATE 1T
Has Been at Work a Year and Now
Makes Preliminary Report
Upon Facts Adduced.

Springfield, Ill, Jan. 23.-Indian
maize CORN, the variety that Illinois
grows and is feeding to the world, is
in no manner responsible for pellagra,
that mysterious disease which has
been perplexing medical men of many
countries for many years.
This very important fact has been
demonstrated almost beyond a doubt
by the Illinois pellagra commission,
which has just made its first report
and which will ask the present Iegis-
lature for $4,000 with which to pros
ecute its researches during the coming
two years.
This report is preliminary.
Its importance lies in the fact that
it contains the information that corn
in none of it's conditions is the
cause of this disease.
FIRST TO STUDY 1T.
Illinois is the first state in the union
to recognize the disease officially and
to make official investigation of its
origin.
The common theory that corn was
the cause of the disease made it very
necessary that Illinois investigate this
widely established idea.
Consequently the first efforts of the
commission were directed towards an
inquiry into the accepted theories of
the origin of pellagra.
The experiments have extended over
period of one year and have been
largely negative, but have succeeded
in eliminating practically all of the
suggested causes for the disease.

That's wrong!

date for mayor and four candidates
for commissioners.
This applies TO the primary as well
as TO the election.
At the primary the two candidates

HEALTH
Copyright. 1911.

Mans good health depends much up
on his hearty use of fresh air; man can
cure his ills by counting the contrary
currents in his bed-chamber.
The more fresh air you take into
your lungs, the less you will want TO
lounge: if you inspire deeply you will
aspire and desire.
Too much work makes too much
wear and the bodily strain is often
brought to the breaking point; betake
yourself to the woods and get a whin
of fresh ART will do you good.
Take daily exercise in the open air
and thereby avoid the doctors doses:
you can regulate your liver by relig-
iously loving out-of-door fun.
The pleasure of health is harmony
and the pain of disease is discord:
law when listened to, gives life but
when disregarded, drags to death.
Good health gets it's hold from good
household hygiene; hunt for fresh air
and wholesome food and you won't be
visited by a food of fevers.
Water on the body, fresh air in the
lungs, pure digestable food in the stom-
ach. happy thoughts in the mind and
pleasant work for the hands, give the
long and useful life TO man: habits OF
Indifference to those essentials make
him die too soon.
