Pellagra.

Until a few years ago pellagra
was unknown in this country.
The disease was common in GER
tain parts of Italy, but it was
not widely studied by the medi-
cal profession even in the country
where it prevailed.
A few years ago a peculiar
disease appeared among tn n
sane in certain public institutions
in the South; the symptoms were
those of the Italian pellagra.
Investigation proved that it was
indeed pellagra. Since that day
the disease has been found in
many other parts of the country;
it is known to prevail more or
less extensively in most of the
Southern States, and occasionally
it appears in the North as we'll.
Recently cases have been dis
covered in Great Britain.
Pellagra begins as an annoying
skin eruption that appears in the
spring, and subsidies at the ap-
proach of cold weather, but it re-
ours again the next year. Later,
there is evidence that the nerv-
Gus system is affected, and in

recent Investigations lead phys,
icians to believe that it is an in.
fictitious disease, caused by some
microbe not yet recognized. II
is probable that this microbe is q
single-celled blood parasite, a
protozoan, with two life cycles
one of which passes in the body
of the man, the other in that of
the buffaIo-gnat, an insect of the
genus Simulium.
According to this theory, the
disease is of the same type as
malaria, which is caused by a
blood parasite that passes one
phase of it's existence in man,
the other in the body of a mos
quito. This does not mean that
pellagra is directly contagious,
for malaria is not contagious;

Petition for Pardon
To the Honorable Earl Brewer,

To the Honorable Earl Brewer,
Governor of Mississippi:
We, the undersigned, would respectfully show
to your excellency that Clara McGaughey Shan-
nom was at the Nov. term, 1910. of the Circuit
Court of Lee county, Mississippi, convicted of
manslaughter and sentenced to a term of ten
years in the state penitentiary.
The said Clara McGaughey, up to the time of
this trouble has borne a most excellent reputation
as a peaceful and law abiding woman and there
is considerable doubt about her, guilt. The crime
was committed in a drunken negro row during
manslaughter. Since her incarceration she has
made a most model prisoner and we believe she
has been sufficiently punished for her offense if
she is guilty of any crime, wherefore, we ask you
to grant her a pardon for the same.

The Prevention of Crime
Is Better Than Its Cure

Our fair State of Mississippi,
be it shamfully said, is numbered
with that meager remnant OF
States that are now conspicuous
by their failure to make provis-
ion for the proper care, protec-
ton, discipline and conservation
of youthful offenders and those
criminally inclined.
We are practically one hundred
years behind the times III the
matter of the laws written upon
the statute books of Mississippi
dealing with youthful delln-
quency.
The attitude of every State
should be-, not to condemn but
to reclaim, it's juvenile offenders;
to protect; to correct; to tram;
to discipline. thus conserving and
preserving their prospective man.
hood and citizenship; in other
words, to save them, if we can,
which is but a practical appllca-
ton of the principles of Chris
tianity.
Whatsoever a man soeth, that
shall he also reap" expresses a
law that obtains throughout the
entire universe. physical. intel
lectual, moral and spiritual. And
the State that disposes of its
youthful delinquents amonga set
of hardened criminals. is sowing
seed, which, by the operation OF
the law of association will for
ever return a harvest of con-
firmed criminals. This places
the State IN the position of a con-
tributing factor in the propaga-
ton Of criminals; and more than
that, virtually renders the State
a mandatory of criminals.
Recognizing this deplorable
condition, a movement has been
organized by the Adult Bible
Glasses of Meridian, composed OF
representatives from different
classes of every denomination,
constituting aCentral Committee,
whose, responsibility is to over
look and direct the movement,
with a view of securing uniform
ity of action and the fullest pos
sible cooperation.
The question we are to grapple
with is of Statewide interest and
Importance. 1t is a practical
proposition and will require prac-
teal work-work that will count.
The realization of the task set
before us involves primarily the
creation, fostering, development
and dissemination Of a strong
public sentiment favorable to
and demanding the passage by
the next legislature of a bill pro-
viding for a State Juvenile In
stitution.
Let our slogan in the campaign
be-: There is no such word as
fail.
If the Adult Bible Classes will
arise in their strength and rally
as one mar in this matter of
practical and needful righteous
ness. we are sure of victory.
This Juvenile proposition, deal
ing, as it does, with our youth,
is a very commendable and
worthy line of Christian endeav-
or for the organized Bible Glasses
of the State-representing an
undertaking of practical Chris
tianity, which will help and
strengthen and bless every class
actively participating therein,
and will also impress upon the
State the great strength and
power in the organized classes
and in the application of practi,
cal religion.
To do effective work, let the
classes of each county narrow

DON'T TAKE The
WRONG MEDICINE.
II Your Liver Gets Lazy You Need a
Liver Tonic, Not Merely a LaXa-
tive for The Bowels.

Many people take a simple laxa-
tive when their liver gets sluggish
rather than take calomel, which they
know to be dangerous. But a mere
laxative will not start a sluggish
liver. What is needed is a tonic that
will liven up the liver without fore
ing you to stay at home and lose a
day from your business.
You have such tonic in Dodson's
Liver Tone. Dodson's Liver Tone
must be all they claim for it because
they guarantee it to take the place
of dangerous calomel and agree to
hand back the money with smile to
any person who tries Dodson's Liver
Tone and is not satisfied with the re-
lief it gives.
Dodson's Liver Tone is harmless
vegetable liquid with a pleasant
taste, and is a prompt and reliable
remedy for constipation, biliousness,
sour stomach and the other troubles
that come from a torpid liver.
DR. Wv Brockington gives it his
personal guarantee and if you will
ask about this guarantee you will
protect yourself against limitations
that are not guaranteed. Large bot
