IS WIDESPREAD in u. S.

LONDON. Aug. 9--contro dieting
statements by Sir William Osler five
years ago that pellagra had become
extinct. DIR. *. H. Beall. of Fort
Worth. Texas. has today interested
the delegates to the international
Congress of Medicine by telling them
that there are now $4,000 cases of
pellagra in America, and that there
were 5000 deaths from the plague
last year.
When DIR. Osler told the faculty of
Johns Hopkins University that the
disease had disappeared. DIR. Beall
said it was hidden away in thousands
of poverty-stricken homes of the
Southern States.
Mental delusions and arrangements
of a non dangerous sort are the usual
symptoms of pellagra, said DR.. Beall,
and in considerable part of the
United States persons suffering from
mild cases of insanity and having
no friends to care for them are sent
to the almshouse as the most practi-
cable disposition to make of them.

DESTROY TRUSTS
IS KENYON'S CRY
More important Than Tariff,
He Says, Rapping Aluminium
Company.

WASHINGTON. Aug 9-"It is
more important to control or destroy
the trusts than to revise the tariff"
declared Senator Kenyon in the Sen
ate today. IF our Democratic friends
by adopting an amendment in ac-
cordance to their party platform
would assist in this. they would ac-
complish greater good than by mere
ly reducing the tariff
Mr.. Kenyon was speaking on his
amendment to free-list articles man
ufactured by the aluminium trust at
once and to automa tically free-list
all products of concerns held by the
courts to be monopolies.
IF the government cannot control
the trusts" he continued, then we
may as well concede the trusts are
powerful enough to destroy this gov
ernment. When the nation has grant
ed protection, and an industry so pro-
tected violates the law. that protec-
tion should be taken from it,
The Aluminium Company, Senator
Kenyon declared, was engaged in
business treason" against the govern
ment from which II received its pro-
lection. The concern, he said, cap
talized at $30,000,000, had invested only
$4,000, 900 in twenty-four years, and
made profit of $2S, 900 900 on its stock
