Prof. John Won Prosky left
Wednesday for Pocatello, Idaho,
where he goes to take a position
there. Prof. Won Prosky has
been leader of the famous Won
Prosky band at Meade for more
than two years and the band has
been considered one of the best
in the state. He has also been
the leader of The Meade Ladies
Band which was organized less
than year ago, and they too
have received many favorable
comments. He has done much
toward the musical advancement
of Meade and his departure is to
be regretted, AS musician, he
is an exceptional one and his
ability in that line can hardly be
estimated. We believe we are
safe in saying that his equal is
not to be found in the west.
Whether another leader of his
ability will be secured to take up
band work where he has left off,
is a question. Personally, we
do not believe Meade will be so
fortunate as to secure the SER
vices of another "Von Prosky."
The News regrets very much
to note the departure of Prof.
Won Prosky from Meade, and
our best wishes certainly go
with him.

"Pellagra, What is it?"

ChoSLo1 Vldl ID IL.
take for granted that most
every one now has fair idea as
to what Pellagra is, and also
much of the Etiology, the Pa
thology, the Diagnosis, and the
Prognosis, on all of which there
has been very little, if any diff
ference of opinion, except pos
sibly the biological factors; but
the essential bone of contention
was relative to the question of
the disease being at any Stage
capable of conveyance from one
individual to another. In other
words, is Pellagra contagious?
The necessity of this discussion
was made imperative when your
City health official announced
that Pellagra is among the most
contagious diseases known and
that bodily contact with a patient
suffering with Pellagra would
surely convey same to the second
party and that the disease is
deadly and incurable. The lat
ter part of the statement may be
true but the former Isl, accord
ing to the Consensus of opinion
of modern writers-untrue. Il
beg to quote DR.. C. H. Lavinder,
Passed Assistant Surgeon U. S.
Health Department and Marine
Hospital.
Is Pellagra contagious? This
is question which was much
discussed, and about which,
many doubts were expressed in
the earlier history of the disease.
Modern writer's, however, have
regarded this question as deter
mined and most of them assert
that the disease is not contagious.
There are undoubtedly suffi-
cient observations to exclude any
idea Iof its transmissability in
any direct way from person to
person. One or two NAV be
worth mention. At the Pellag-
rasario near Venice Italy, where
for many years large mum bers of
Pellagrins have been treated,
four or five hundred in number
with sixty or seventy-five nurses
and employees, no attendant or
nurse has ever been known to
contract the desease. Such OBJ
servations could be multiplied.
Neusser states that many times
he has observed in large family, |
all living under the same condi-
tons, only one member slCkened |
with Pellagra while the rest re-
NAMED in the best of health.
Such observations have been re-
ported scores of times. Facts |
of this character certainly ex-
clude any idea of Contagion in
the strict sense of the word"

about contracting to grow beets, but
many say that they are ready to put
in a big acreage for next year.

farmers for beets. the factory en-

Greeley.-The Greeley. Eaton and
