Then he saw number of bullet wounds
in the body and realized that Stanley

According to reports the Stanleys
were young couple and the daughter

given by persons who knew them.
Some OF the neighbors believe that
the family was murdered by an out
slider and that the two revolvers were
placed in the homo as "blind."

Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas
Figures Show Fifty Per Cent
Mortality In Five Years.

Washington, July 31-Pellagra
for which physicians have found nc
cure, is spreading beyond the zone
t, which it previously has been con.
fined and is invading new territory
according to officials of the United
States Public Health Service, who
base their belief upon statistics on
the prevalence of the disease in Ar
kansas, Oklahoma and Texas, from
1907 to 1912, which was made pub
lie to-day.
Reports from these three states,
bordering on the areas in which pei
lagra has most extensively existed in
this country, show. says Surgeon
G. H. Lavender, the prevalence Of
tie disease to considerable degree" "
This suggests rather strongly"
be adds, THAT pellagra is increasing
ii the area in which it was prevail
elt and invading new territory. Fur
tler inquiry is needed to determine
this with any degree of accuracy" +"
The figures indicated an increase
in the disease during 1912.
The total number Of cases in Okla
hlma during the six years was Az,
with death rate per 100 cases of
5t.91; in Texas 2,628 cases, death
rate 46.61, and in Arkansas 945,
daath rate 41.oO. The figures for
Arkansas for 1912 were incomplete.
This last report, which supplemented
a previous pellagra report giving
statistics for other states, is Of pecu-
