The following are the resolutions
adopted by the conference:
whereas, the third meeting of the
National Association for the Study OF
Pellagra is about to close its most
successful meeting at Columbia, it
seems fitting before final adjournment
that certain things should be made
a matter of formal record; therefore,
be it resolved:
81. That the association desires to
express its appreciation OF the cour-
tesies exhibited by the city of Colum-
biz, by the authorities Of The insane
asylum ard especially by its Dres;-
dent. ]. w. Babcock, to whose per-
sGm..l ener:,y the success OF this n2"+s-
ing has been largely due.
"2. That this association reiterates
the belief, formerly expressed, that
the ultimate cause of pellagra is un-
known, but it is of the opinion that
in view of the indictment against
spoiled corn measures should be TAX
en- by proper enactment to prevent its
sale and consumption as food.
"2. That this association expresses
the conviction that 10 satisfying evil
dence has ever been submitted which
SHOWS pellagra to be directly trans
r5itteC from man to man; and ,haGin
tho present state of our knowledge
the association regards measures CT
quarantine and isolation for the dis
ease unnecessary and unwise.
81 That the association IS conFinc-
cd that there IS at present no known
specifc remedy for pelllsra ard any
claim made for the efficacy of any es-
pecial therapeutic agent must be ac-
cepted with great caution.
.5. That this association recognizes
pellagra in the United States as mat
ter CT great Importance to the national
public health and notes with approval

PELLAGRA'S CAUSE =" -
IS YET UNKNOWN
SDOiled Corn Should be Watched, Say
Experts-COngress Elects
Officers.

That the cause of pellagra is un-
known, though the suspicion against
spoiled corn is sufficient to lead to
legislative measures to prevent its
use as food; that there is no known
specific remedy for the disease; that
there is no proof that the malady can
be transmitted directly from man TO
man, and that the plague forms one
of the most pressing problems IN
American medicine, were the findings
of the National Congress for the Study
of Pellagra, which closed its second
triennial conference in Columbia Fri
day night. The sessions, which lasted
all of Thursday and Fri lay, were held
at the State Hospital for the Insane.
The passage OF re;ai;ttons expressing
the concensus Of opinion Of the con-
gress and the election Of officers were
the fral features Of series Of meet
ings marked by many deeply scien-
tiic papers dealing with the disease
which of late years has come into
prominence as distinct malady with
which medical men must battle.
At Friday nights session the reso'
1utions came before the body because
of some seeming obscurity as to one
or two of their parts. No changes
were made in the resolutions as adopt
ed. however. DR.. w. J. MacNeal, as
sistant director of laboratories, post
graduate medical school, New York.
proposed an amendment to the para
graph dealing with the transmission
of the disease. He stated that he con-
sidered the paragraph absolutely true;
but thought that it capable of misin-
terpretation, inasmuch as there was
the possibility of pellagra being trans
mitted from one person to another by
insects or such ether media. Consider
able discussion ensued, terminating
only with the withdrawal Of D.. Mac
Meals amendment. He reiterated in
withdrawing the motion that the para
graph in the resolution was true, al
though not clear as to its meaning.
New officers were elected. The place
of next meeting left to the president
and board of directors for decision.
The new officers are: DR.. c. H. La
yinder, United States public health
service, president; DR.. J. F. Siler, cap
tain medical corps, United States army,
first vice president; Dr.. c. c. Bass,
professor in Tulane university, New

The great mass of the American peo-
pie today have forgotten, If they ev-
er knew it, that the fighting soldier
on the battle field at the paymaster's
wagon contributed out of his pit
lance $20,O00,0OO that came into
the Treasury of the United States
as rebuke to those who stayed at
home and boarded their wealth and
refused to buy Government bonds or
to loan the Government money upon
even better terms. Let that not be
forgotten, regardless of what PEN
sion bill is under consideration. Re-
member that those men were ready
not only to sacrifice their lives that
this country might live, but that
they were more ready to contribute
to the expense of maintaining the
Government than were these mock
heroes at home, many Of whom
were preaching doctrines against
the principles for which those men
commended.
I only felt impelled in this hour
and upon this patriotic day to rec
ord here in the Record Of this body
the recollection of real patriotism,
this monument to soldiers who are
forgotten today because they are out
of sight. suffering perhaps in the
hospitals and with the ills Of old
age. merely recall this as an adj
ditional tribute to those men. OF
course we should see to 1t that their
lives are made as comfortable as
they can be and that the pledge
which the greatest of all command
ers made at Gettysburg shall be
kept.

CHANGE OF HEART.

Cedar Falls Record: Shortly aft-
er Senator Young was beaten for the
election to the senate by the legisla-
ture he predicted that Iowa land was
going to the bad, that Iowa farms
had decreased rather than increased
in value during the past two years.
The other day he and his Singer"
put on stunt at Luverne. His adj
dress was called a sunshine" 1ect-
ure in which the glories Of Iowaa
boundless prairies, its rocks and
rills, and fertile farms and rrosper-
GUS people and warm sunshine and
fat pigs and generous cows and
what not were GRATED upon until
there was not : dry eye in the
house," as one admiring paper states
1t. The SPEAKER predicted that Iowa
land would soon be worth $500 per
acre. What has caused him -
change his mind? Or is the ex-
senator trying to jolly Iowa people
into believing that he was honestly
mistaken when he was trying to
beat down the price of Iowa land a
couple OF years ago.

SOIL POSSIBILITIES.

Council Bluffs Nonpareil: Three
thousand five hundred dollars is the
gross receipts from another south
west Iowa apple crop from about
one-half of a twelve-acre orchard.
People are slow to take advantage
of the opportunities afforded by soil,
climate and markets in this section,
but ten years hence there will be
noted a great advance along these
lines. A ten-acre tract in southwest
Iowa can be made to pay interest on
a capitalization of $4,000. That 10
a strong statement, but 1t is borne
out by the facts. Jonathan and 9th
er varieties of apples will do it.
Commercial pears will do it. Grapes
will do it. Chickens will be an I'm
portant factor.

FAIR TREATMENT"

The Freeman Tribune few days
ago challenged the editor of the
Webster City Herald, who has been
diligent of late trying by innuendc
and insinuation to make it appear
that Senator Kenyon is the gentle
man who is holding up the appoint
ment of Fred Cash as postmaster OF
Webster City, to tell what he knows
about 1t. The Journal, perhaps fear
ing that the Herald editor has some
scruples OF honesty in the matter,
takes the responsibility upon itself
to answer" for the Herald. The
Journal says:
During the short time last winter
that Lafayette Young .erved In the
senate of the United States, he was
approached by friends of RUDE Nc
Ferren. who had been an unsuccess-
full candidate against Mr.. Cash. and
asked to hold up the Cash appoint
ment on the grounds that Cash was
not a supporter Of President Taft.
1t was especially urged up on Sem
ator Young. however, that Mr.. Nc
Ferren was unwilling the Cash APP
pointment be held up merely to per-
petuate Postmaster Clark In office.
Senator Young wrote a letter asking
the Withholding Of the Cash ap-
pointment. Meantime Senator
Young's brief service as senator
came to close and 1t was seen that
the Withholding of Cash's appoint
ment was doing the very thing Its
sponsors did not wish. viz, it was
merely keeping Postmaster Clark in
the fat birth he has occupied eight
years and more. So Senator Young
withdrew his objections to the Cash
appointment and made it clear to
the department that If choice must
be made between Mr.. Cash and Mr..
Clark the choice OF Mr.. Young and
the friends of Mr.. McFerren would
lie with Cash. 1t was expected then
that the appointment OF Mr.. Cash
would soon be forthcoming.
So Senator Young is the gentle
man who took the initiative, is he?
The Freeman Tribune had heard as
much, but doubted 1t. 1t is surely
not to the credit OF the colonel that
be should interest himself in the ap-
pointment of postmaster in Web
ster City. That Is not focal self

Some of the chaps who are accus-
ing Senator Kenyon of insincerity
because his liquor transportation
bill does not attempt to prohibit the
shipment of liquor for ones person
al use, are simply advertising their
own ignorance. The law does not
and cannot prevent the sale and
transportation Of liquor for private
or legal use, according to the judg-
ment of the supreme court. Senator
Kenyon is no doubt interested in
the enactment of law that will
withstand the scrutiny of the courts.
Such statute would amount to
something.

The bitter fight that will develop
between Roosevelt and Taft over the
presidential nomina ion gives hope
that man who can unite the party
and win may be nominated. This
puts Senator Cummins in very de-
sirable position. True, the senator
has many bitter enemies In Iowa,
but outside of this state his candid
acy, IL he were made the nominee,
would invite practically the solid re-
publican vote. The opposition to
the senator in this state is the result
of the numerous defeats administer
ed to the opposition under his lead
ership, making 1t possible to enact
many laws for the general welfare.
Now is the time for Iowa to get be-
hind the candidacy Of the senator
and make 1t possible for Cummins to
WELD the balance of power. LaFol-
lette will have wisconsin, and Iowa
and Wisconsin, with the votes they
can get from other states, will prob
ably be able to control the situation.

LESSON OF 1892.

In 1892 the Blaine movement did
not amount to quite enough to de-
feat Harrison for denomination. But
If it had. Blaine would not have
been the nominee; it would have
been Mckinley.
Those who are Interested in his
torical parallels can figure this out
to suit themselves.
The one warning OF the 1892
squabble that ought to be needed
early was the defeat Of Harrison at
the polls. Do republicans generally
want to get so far apart that they
cannot get together again before

II the lesson OF 1892 teaches any
thing it teaches that the re-nomina-
tion of the president, when strong

presages defeat. Had the candidacy
OF Blaine resulted In the nomination
OF Mckinley the chances are the ~
publican party would have achieved
victory at the polls.
Republicans generally. do not. the
Freeman-Tribune takes it. wan. to
get so far apart that they cannot
get together again In November"
but republicans with red blood In
their veins propose to exercise their
right OF favoring the candidate OF
their choice, regardless OF the threat
of boiling by any class or faction.
Heed the lesson of 1892 and nomi-
nate a man whom the party will
unite upon this year. It is nonsense to
say that Taft is entitled to It." and
for that reason ought to be nominat-
ed. No man is entitled" to presi-
Dental nomination. Moreover. Mr..
Taft has been treated very we'll. He
has been an Office holder almost con-
stantly for thirty years.

you its best. unless it makes you

have ever been before.-Phillips
