is INCREASING
RAPIDLY IN ARKANSAS
Seventy Five Cases in State Hospital.
Board Requested to Have Addi-
tional lntimary Erected Or
dered by Legislature.

Pellagra is increasing with great
Irapidity in Arkansas, according to DR..
}. L. Greene, superintendent of the
State Hospital for Nervous Diseases
who has requested the State Board
of Charities to make an effort to have
erected at once the additional mfr
mary for that institution which was
ordered by the last Legislature.
Several times the State Board of
Charities has received bids for the
erection of this building, but the bids
have always exceeded the $4,000 ap-
|propriated by the legislature for that
purpose. The Board is of the opinion
that changes can be made in the plans.
and the present financial stringency
will bring the price down to the ap-
preparation so that the building may
be erected this fall, and will again
ask for bids.
There are now 70 cases of pellagra
in the State Hospital, and no cure
has yet been discovered for this dread
ed disease. DR.. Greene has informed
the Board that all except one of the
patients were brought to the state in
stitution suffering from the disease,
while one case evidently developed
in the asylum. While the disease is
not contagious, so far as known, Dr..
Greene desires to segregate those who
are suffering with it, as an addition
al precaution. There have been some
cured pellagra cases in the asylum,
but none of the physicians have been
able to determine the cause, but rest
and cleanliness is thought to be the
fundamental principle.

Few of our merchants realize that
right now is the proper time to begin
their Fall advertising campaign. Ad-
vertising now will bring results when
the crops are harvested. If you have
bought goods for the Fall trade, why
not tell the people about it. Our two
papers reach every home in Prescott
and Nevada county and an ad in both
of them will certainly bring results.
Think this matter over.

Norway Grange.

Norway Grange met in all-day ses-
sion Saturday, March IS. In the fore
noon the Third and Fourth degrees
were conferred on four candidates. In
the afternoon, State Deputy Gates was
present He brought up for conS1defa-
ton the ACCESSIBILITY of changing a
clause in the bylaws regarding the
hour of meetings. He said that
regular meeting could be held only by
beginning at the hour specified in the
bylaws, and that special meeting
could not be called on the same day
as a regular meeting. He said many
Oranges were in error on this point
For example, their bylaws call for
the regular meeting to begin at 1.30;
when they wish to hold. an all-day
meeting, they begin at 1890. This fore
noon meeting, the deputy claims, is a
special meeting, and the afternoon
session a regular meeting, thus bring
ing two meetings on the same day,
which is contrary to the digest. This
brought forth much discussion, but no
action was taken. The literary pro-
gram consisted of music, readings,
and stories by the members. An in
vitation was received from Paris
