NATIONS NOW FACING
PROBLEM OF PELLAGRA

This extract from an article on
pellagra, by DIR. Lovinder, the gov
eminent expert, in the Southern Med
ical Journal, appears in the Journal
of the American Medical Associa-
ton:
Here is a disease practically TN
known to us a short time ago, which
in the brief space of five or six years
has been recognized in nearly all
parts of our country, and which has,
| believe numbered not less than &c.
900 victims with case mortality
certainly in excess of % per cent. 1t
Is a disease, moreover, which offers
peculiar and perplexing difficulties.
Sporadic here perhaps for century,
recently and for unknown reasons, 1t
has assumed an unwonted activity
which shows no sign OF abating.
when consideration is given to
the character of the disease; it's con-
tinuous and rapid spread; its chron-
lefty; its frequent distressing and
painful manifestations; its termina-
ton at times in insanity; its grave
form and high mortality; the class
of people most affected; to the alb
sence of any definite knowledge of
its real nature and cause to the
fact that such knowledge as we do
possess casts at least grave suspi-
cion on a valuable food product in
general use; to the absence of any
trustworthy prophylaxis; to the in
efficacy of therapy; to the serious
and widespread fear on the part of
an aroused public-When these, and
other minor things, are given due
consideration this question rises to
the dignity of a national problem
demanding the most serious atten-
ton"

M|LKMAN'S CLASS
IN PHILADELPHIA
United States Communities
Urged to Follow Example of
the Quaker City.

Announcement that the depart
ment of health of the city of Phila-
delphia has inaugurated a school
for mill1men should receive the
earnest attention OF communities in
various parts of the United States.
The new school was opened last Mon
day, when employees Of milk dealers
formed a class which was given in
struction in bacteriology In the city's
laboratory. The course includes daily
lectures and demonstration of the
danger of bacteria in milk.
The dealers of milk In this part
of the country frequently have been
reminded that certain sanitary re-
quirements are necessary in order
that their product shall not dis
tribute disease. There was a period
when cows were driven from the
pure meadows to yards or Enclosures
which were filthy in the extreme.
In many instances the water was
contaminated when 1t was used for
the purpose of diluting the milk.
The diaries were not kept in whole
some condition. Cans often actually
poisoned the fluid which was sent to
cities for distribution.
Milk dealers cannot secure sanitary
conditions IL their employees are care
less in the matter of health. Hence
the school which has been started in
Philadelphia should be attended with
excellent results. If the hired men
can be taught that 1t is just as easy
to be clearly about the dairy as 1t Is
to be careless or Indifferent, they will
have regard for the welfare of the
people who deal with their employer.
AS milk is a great necessity, 1t
| should be produced under the best
possible conditions. 1t is for the in
terest of the dealer as we'll as of the
consumer to avoid everything which
might add to the report of the regis
trar of vital statistics. The result
of the experiment in Philadelphia
for the school is In the nature of an
experiment-will be awaited with
considerable interest by the health
authorities of other cities.-Troy

that sent the first rescue boat careen-

From the lips of some of the Vol
turno survivors there came today de-
scriptions which accentuated the he
roic conduct of the Volturno's captain,
Officers and some of the crew, and OF
men who manned the lifeboats that put
forth from other ships.
The explosion Of drum containing
chemicals was the cause of the fire, ac-
cordlng to the story told by Waldron
Disselman, third officer of the Vol
turno. Disselman gave thrilling mar
rativc of the long hours spent in the
fire.ridden ship, fighting the flames,
repairing the crippled Wireless plant,
lowering lifeboats, quieting the panic
stricken, steering the vessel by hand to
keep her from drifting-whilc the
waves were running too high for small
craft from other ships to accomplish
the journey to the Volturno's side.
More than eighty passengers were
burned TO death when they were cut
off by the flames DisscIman discov-
