MOUL DED CORN
| And PELLAGRA,
SmithviIle Physician Says Meal Made From
Moulded Corn Is Dangerous.

DR.. C, D. Tibbles of Smithville,
writing to his home paper, the
HOmecrofter says:
Owing to the excessive rainy
season, and especially to t h e
amount of overhowed corn this
year, we think it not out of place
to drop a word of caution,
"Pellagra is a comparatively new
disease in this country, though its
history dates from an epidemic in
Spain in the year 1885. Previous
to 1906 there we're but one or two
cases on record in the United
States. 1t is caused from eating
bread made from moulded corn or
from meal that has moulded since
it was ground. 1t is disease that
at least is OF long duration, and III
over half the cases proves fatal,
We cannot 90 into a lengthy
discussion of the disease in this
connection, but will speak of the
kinds of corn that are most likely
to produce it. The worst of all is
corn that has been overhoWed.
Though the water stayed on ever so
short a time, yet there might be
sufficient mould to produce the
trouble. The only safe plan is to
avoid it for bread corn entirely.
Again, owing to the heavy rains we
are liable to gather our corn too
soon, for fear of another overflow in
the fall, and so have our corn to
mould in the crib, Again, the wet
season has caused many ears Of
corn to be overgrown the corn
grown out of the shuck, and we
find the little end of those ears
moulding and rotten. All such
ears should be discarded from the
bread corn. Again, there will be,
more than likely, quite an amount
of corn shipped into the country.
1t is not safe proposition to use
this for bread corn, for you don't
know how it was handled before
you got it,
Three years ago there was a ter
rible epidemic of pellaera in Yucca
tan and Southern Mexico that was
produced by corn shipped from the
United States by steamer and

and had obtained the adoption Of the Ba-

ploved In case the Texas Senator could
make good his boast. lie did. and then
tho CONFRONTED was offered and adonted,
after which Bailey himself voted for the
amended bill and voted all his insUrgent
allies for it. The packers. of whom so
much was heard when the Democrats IN
the House first put meats on the free list
as also the millers, who were equally de-
uouuced. are doubtless well satisfied with
the work of the Texas statesman and his
insurgent follow. The Democrats Of the
House will once more stultify themselves,
and tho Democrats of the Senate have
boon taught the lesson that "the old man

FOOLS THE GEORGIANS.-That the
BaiIey-La Toilette victory on the Free List
Lill was won through the deliberate decep-
ton BY the Wisconsin Senator Of Senator
Governor Holle Smith is the charge freely
made by iratc Georgian in Congress this
evening In support of their contention
they point TO an interview with the Wis
consin patriot which was displayed in huge
type in the Atlanta newspaper most In
sympathy with the Governor, and in which
Senator La Toilette declared that there
was not the slightest necessity for Senator
Smith 20 come 10 Washington 10 pass tie
Free List bill, as there was an ample num-
Der Of insurgents and Democrats 10 pass
the bill without amendment. even though
the new Georgia Senator stayed away.
Because of the La Toilette Bailey alliance
the Georgians hold the Wisconsin Senator
responsible for the defeat of the House bill.
and they insist that the assurance Of the
Wisconsin half Of the "unholy alliance"
was merely "a put-up Job" to obtain glory
for himself and the insurgents and 20
