PELLAGERA REPORTS
MUCH EXAGGERATED.

Statement
DISEASE NOT COMMUNICABLE
Pealagra Has Been Known in Europe
for TWO centuries--WhiIe There i
is no Known Cure Cases Are
Very Rare.

troll of charitable institutions, after an
inspection Of the three asylums for
the insane in Kentucky, issued the fol-
lowing statements regarding pellagra
at the various institutions, to reassure
the families of those who are confined
in the asyluns.
The difease, while comparatively
new in this country, has existed
abroad for nearly 200 years. Nothing
is definitely known as to the origin or
cause, and it's treatment to this time
has been more or less experimental or
expectant. Medical authorities are
agreed that the disease is not COM
municable, and that segregating or
quarantining is therefore unnecessary.
II Is far more prevalent among the
insane and in asylums for the insane,
yet since its first appeared in our asy-
lums, more than two years ago, we
have had only seventy cases among
our 1000 patients.
There is, in the opinion of this
board, no cause for great alarm.
Improvement Of the Ohio.
At Cincinnati on September 9Th the
annual meeting of the Ohio River I'M
provement association will be held.
1t was the original intention to hold
the convention in Cairo, Ill. Cairo is
at one end Of the Ohio valley while
Cincinnati 81 central. Other things
being equal there should be bigger
and better convention in the Ohio city
than it would have been possible to
gather in Cairo.
It is important that the Ohio Valley
improvement association should be
maintained as yirile organization and
should keep up the work it has been
doing. The recent congressional ex-
fcursion down the Ohio, while disap-
pointing in some particulars to all per-
sons concerned, was of great value,
since it demonstrated to the travelling
statesmen the difficulties of navigating
the river in the low water season 1t
also showed the betterment of condi-
lions that has been brought about on
those sections of the big waterway
where the government dams have
been completed. A few, at least, Of
the members of congress have had an
object lesson that will undoubtedly
hasten the day of all-the-year-round
navigation.
In the meantime there is still a wide
field for the endeavors of the @. N. !.
A., and the cities and towns that have
been sending delegates to its annual
conversations Should not weary in well
doing. Measurable progress is being
made toward the nine-foot stage and
every citizen of the Ohio valley should
be interested in accelerating that
progress.

TT
Charleston. Clerk VIM. B. Mathews,
of the supreme court of appeals, has
prepared the docket for the Septem-
Der term OF the supreme court which
shows the total cases set to be As.
This number may be increased If GER
tain cases that warrant immediate con

and an early hearing is demanded and
granted by the court.
There are five circuits from which
there are no appeals, the Third, Sew,
enth, Fifteenth, Seventeenth and
Twentieth. There is but one case from
the First district
The case that comes up in original
jurisdiction is the case sof the Grand
Fraternity VS.. John S. Darst, auditor
and insurance commissioner. The in.
surance commissioner had refused to
issue license to the company to do
business invest Virginia without first
submitting to an examination which
the company refused to do. The com
pany contended it had right to come
in under fraternal insurance societies
and the insurance commissioner held
otherwise.
There is some talk that the case OF
the sheriffs against the state tax com
missioner to determine the interest
question that has been in dispute for
several years, will come up. As the
suit or suits are to be friendly suits,
it is the intention when they are filed
to rush them into and through the
supreme court of appeals as rapidly as
possible SO that the question will be
definitely settled at'an early date.

Hankas Show increases.

Bank1a Show Increases.
Since the last report made by the
state banks Of Kentucky, nine banks
have been closed by order OF the
state banking department, and two
more are In process of liquidation.
There are now AIS banks in kentucky,
counting the two which are being
liquidated. This is nine less than the
number Of state banks in existence
on April ~. Since September, 1910,
thirty state banks have been closed,
and it is believed that the weaker ones
have been thinned out. Since April
II, when the last reports were called
for, three new banks have been organ
lied.
Secretary of State Bruner states
that his reports OF the 47S state banks
and trust companies for July showed
total assets Of $104,942, 433.37. The
total assets for June 2, 1907, were
SOL, 924,198.78; October 2, 1909, $780,
629, 219.62; June 80, 1910, $104,265 :
25473, showing that the assets have
gained nearly 100000 during the last
year.
The Increase seems small but Sec
rotary Bruner says that it Is certain
now that the reports are more ac-
curate, and that there has really been
a greater increase of assets than the
figures show, since the practice Of pad
ding the assets Of the bank for making
good reports has been eliminated with
state banks, and that also thousands
of dollars worth of worthless assets
have been charged off and the stock
holders and directors of banks have
been made to pay in the money for
the worthless assets.
