FAR HEELS SECURE. APPRoPRiA.
TON INCLUDED IN sUNDRY
CIVIL BILL.
foR THE WORK OF EXPERTS
sa5 ncO To Provide For Study of Ma
lady Throughout the United States
BY the Efforts of North Carolina
Medical Society.

Raleigh.-A special from Washing
nm states that resolution by the
North Carolina Medical Society, fol-
lowed by letter from DR.. w. S. Ran
Kin to Congressman Faison, backed
nv that representative efforts, was
RESPONSIBLE for an appropriation of
$4,000 by congress for the study of
nellagra in the United States by med
ical experts. The appropriation was
included in the sundry civil bill which
passed the senate recently. The en-
fire measure had been vetoed by
President Taft, for a reason not con-
nected with the pellagra appropriation
but came through the senate second
time unscathed. The president is ex-
nected to sign the bill in the near fu-
ture.
Tie resolution of the North Caro-
lima Medical Society and the letter of
DR.. Rankin interested DR.. Faison, who
in turn interested Surgeon-General
Rupert Blue of the United States
public health service, and Gen. Blue
added his endorsement to the appro-
priation. Gen. Blue, by the way, is a
former North Carolinian. The resolu-
ton of the society, as we'll as DIR. Ran
kin's letter, was made a part of the
record in the discussion of the item.
Pellagra as a fatal disease has ap'
peared in all but eight states in the
Union, and there have been 10000
cases of it in this country in the last
ten years. Death has resulted in
SO 1-3 per cent. of the cases. DR.. Fai
son hopes that the study OF the dis
ease which will be made possible by
the $4,000 donation will result in the
discovery of a certain method fo~ both
it's prevention and it's cure.

ter in support of his proposal to hold
open tariff hearings before the Senate
Finance Committee will not receive
the unanimous following of his fellow
Republicans when it comes up, &C
cording to the views of leading mem
bers. Many prominent Republican
Senators do not believe it wise to fire
their tariff guns in the preliminary
fight over the question of hearings.
They are willing to put the question
to a vote and rest content with that
They argue that Republican oratory
should be conserved until the bill is
before the Senate and that then their
efforts should be directed toward
showing the country what the party
thinks of it.
Several Republicans Indicated that
they would vote against the Penrose
amendment to compel the committee
to hold hearings.
Persistent reports about the Senate
say, however, that several Democrats
will be found voting with the majority
of the Republicans for the Penrose
amendment and the vote in conse-
quence is likely to be close. When Mr..
Penrose is likely to be close When
Mr.. Penrose made his motion the Re-
