Is afraid she has it. and wants infor-

She has already an ulcer in the left
side of her tongue, and is very uneasy.
never heard OF pellagra until a few
years ago, and this hearing is all /
know about the disease. never saw a

many new diseases, or maybe IL is new
names for old diseases. that am often
perplexed with matters OF this sort. II
anybody win write me concerning pei
lagra and give a remedy, shall be glad

1 have been told that pellagra comes
from eating too much corn made into
food. Maybe so. but l have been dear

all my life. I think there must be some
mistake on that line.

istry of the department of agriculture.

gentlemen resorted to scheme to create
an appearance of compliance with the
law, while at the same time distinct
ly agreeing not to comply with it.
"Such an agreement certainly merits
condiyn punishment, and because of the
sfacts set forth 1 recommend the approx
al by you of the recommendations of the
committee on personnel.

H: II. LIQUIDS Sons company. of which
Congressman Loud is the head, is the

NEW ANGLO-JAP TREATY
CAUSES NO SURPRISE
Modification Is Considered as
Natural Recognition of New
Oriental Conditions
CIV Associated Press. T,

(By Associated Press.)
BERLIN, July 15.-The modification of
the Anglo-Japanese treaty of alliance
caused no surprise in authoritative Ger
man quarters. where 1t is considered as
a natural recognition of a new situation
in the east.
Conditions. it is pointed out, have
changed completely since the Russo
Japanese war and there is no danger of
Russo-Japanese or Japanese-American
friction. Russo-Chinese relations now
are the only critical point and a crisis
will be delayed. Meantime it Is believed
Japan probably win conclude an arbitra-
ton treaty with the United States. The
weakening of the Anglo-Japanese alli-
ance to permit of an Anglo-American
general arbitration treaty. therefore was
to be expected
The oficial reserve heretofore main
tanned regarding the chances for a Ger
man-American arbitration pact was
raised today by a spokesman for the
foreign office, who said he thought the
treaty, which the government still was
studying, probably would be negotiated,
though not in time for simultaneous
signing with the American treaties with
England and France.
Press comment is that Anglo-Japanese
friendship will continue. though the obli-
cation of either to support her ally in
case of war disappears as either party
is at liberty TO conclude arbitration
treaties with third parties. The papers
believe the conclusion of an Anglo
American treaty would have been impos-
sible without modification of the
Anglo-Japanese alliance and think that
the British colonies played an important
role in the negotiations Great Britain
is credited with a great diplomatic vic
tory in inducing Japan to assent to a
weakening of the alliance.

INDIANS USE TURTLES
TO FoRCE RAIEtFALI

WETUMKA, Okla, July 49,
Creek Indians in this vicinity are
resorting to ancient tribal customs
in an attempt to obtain rainfall.
One Of their customs which has
been widely followed in the last
week is to stake mud turtles on
the edge OF stream just far
enough away from the water so
that 1t cannot reach it. 1t is the
Indians belief that the turtles,
despairing of their attempts to
reach the water, invoke the aid of
the Great Spirit to send rain so
that the stream will be raised and
brought near them.
Since the turtles were first staked
out several rains have fallen. The
Indians believe their prayers are
being answered, and they are fas-
tening up more turtles for greater
rainfall.
