Recently a Georgia farmer who had
some fine hogs in which he took special
pride carried visiting friend out 10
view the herd. In order to arouse the
choicest pig, which was asleep, he gave
it kick in the side, resulting in an
explosion. The pig was blown into
smithereens, the two men injured and
portion of the building torn down.
Upon investigation it was found that
the pig had swallowed some dynamite,
stored in the shed in the lot. We do
not vouch for this statement, but sug-
gest this moral: 1t never pays to be
a kicker.

Scientists have searched diligently
for the cause of pellagra, but up to
this time their efforts have been unre-
warded. The one who first discovers
the real cause of this disease which is
increasing to an alarming Degree will
have his name written high on the
walls of fame. Many things seem to
point to corn and grain as the real
cause, yet no one has been able to as
sert positively that such diet produces
the disease.
