BAD SEWERAGE AND pELLAGRA
New Theory Advanced by Scientists
Food Not the Cause.

Atlanta, Ga.-That pellagra intec-
ton probably results from bad sew
erage was theory advanced in the
report OF the Thompson-M -McFadden
Pellugra Commission before the
American Association for the Ad-
vancement Of Science.
The report stated that no definite
relation was observed between the
occurrence Of pellagra and the use OF
any particular food. In districts
completely equipped with water car
riage systems of sewage disposal, the
report states, very few cases Of pei
lagra have been found and their ori-
gin has been doubtful. 1t also was
new cases Of pellagra developed for
the most part in the vicinity Of old
ones or after association with them.
The report declares the exact
still is uncertain, and urges the con-
tinued study Of insects as transmit
ting agents, and of close personal as
sociation as possible factors in it's
spread
Says Pcllagra is Not Due to Corn.
That pcllagra is not due to corn,
and that tho disease is by no means
as dangerous as the public has been
frightened into believing, are two
important conclusions reached by
the Thompson-M -McFadden Commits
sion.
DR.. J. S. Siler, OF the United States
Medical Corps, senior member of
the commission, said he believed
that "within year or two the cause
of pellagra will have been discovered
or the investigation will have gone
so far that we can define precautions
for preventing its spread.

PARDONED MORSE PLANS FIGHT.
FORMER Ice King To Seek Vindication.
To Ask for Inquiry.

Washington, Jan. 7.-Charles w.
Morse, former lice king" one of the
most spectacular figures in modern
American finance and the principal
actor in drama that lasted for a
half dozen years and carried him
from the banking regions of New
York to the Atlanta penitentiary. is
about to write another chapter to his
story.
After months Of investigation and
TABOR Morse is trying to launch an
investigation by Congressional
committee of all the circumstances
leading up to his conviction six
years ago of violation Of the national
banking laws. Although his plans
have not been announced it became
known here to-day that he also con-
templates suit for damages against,
prominent New York bankers and
others connected with his trial and
conviction.
Morse had talk with Senator
Borah, Of Idaho, here yesterday and
suggested to him the need for an in
Vestigation Of his case by a Senate
committee. Although the Idaho SEN
ator refused to press the matter, the
eX-banker is understood to have left
washington still determined to force
an Investigation.
Freed by Taft.
Morse was sent to the Atlanta pen-
ltentiary to serve a Is years SEN
tence. After a quiet, but persistent
fight, led by Mrs. Morse and backed
by many prominent persons, his sem
tence was commuted by former Pres
ident Taft. Mr.. Taft acted on state
ments of army surgeons, who declar-
ed that Morse could not live longer
than six months. The prisoner was
released from Atlanta within five
days of two years ago. Shortly af-
terwards he sailed for Europe, took
a "cure," and then returned to the
United States.
Since his return from Europe he
has been making preparations to re-
open in the court Of public opinion,
at least, the case against him. He is
said to hold that the principal charge
on which he was convicted, the MAX
ing OF false entries in the books Of
the National Bank of North America.
was fimsy charge and that he did
nothing more than WIS done by
scores OF bankers in New York.
The forests Of Florida contain 175
different kinds of wood.

GREAT is THE HEN.

The recent high price of eggs has
caused the Farmers Union to con-
duct an investigation into the poul-
try conditions Of the nation, and Pc
ter Radford, lecturer of the National
Farmers Union. gave out the follow
ing statement concerning conditions
in Texas:
I'VE make So per cent Of our egg
crop in April, May and June, al
though the consumption Of eggs runs
very nearly even throughout the en-
tire year. The American farmer to-
day is paying the middleman the
princely sum Of $23S,6OO,OOO per
annum for storing and selling his
eggs. This sum OF money would
build and equip sufficient storage to
care for the agricultural production
of the nation. The value of the ma
tion's egg production during a decade
is equivalent in value to all the farm
property in Texas; would build a
city the size of st. Louis and would
pay the national debts OF Spain, ia
pan and the United States combined.
Faulty Distribution.
The poultry yard census Of con-
tinental United States, taken by the
Federal government, shows that the
farmers OF this country gather ap-
proXimately 1,591,311, 900 dozen
eggs per annum, which sell at farm
price of $306,6SS, $50, and a retail
price of $545,289,OOO. These eggs.
according to the ma rket reports, are
marketed about as follows.

GOOD FELLOWSHIP COSTLY.
Experience Of IL Georgia Planter in
the City of Atlanta.
(The Constitution. SthD

| (lhe constitution, Sth.)
Good fellowship at $500 an ac.
Quaintance is just little too expen,
sive to suit the taste OF w. G. Nor
gan, a wealthy planter of Cedartown
Ga, who came to Atlanta early
Thursday morning. After having
formed the association OF two young
men and lost $1,000, he is inclined
to believe that stranger is a crook
until found otherwise
! Mr. Morgan was aboard the train
| bound from Cedartown to Atlanta,
when he became acquainted with
| two rather hashily dressed young
| men who were talkative enough and
entertaining and who made the triD
pleasant one. They talked of
crops and burlesque shows and vari-
Gus interesting things, and Mr.. Nor
gan cOnfided that he was fifty years
of age and that one of the first things
he would do in Atlanta would be to
draw $1,000 from the bank.
Accepted Dinner Invitation.
He was not surprised when his
new associations accepted his invita-
ton to dine with him, because he
wanted them to-they were such
good company and were so entertain
ing and they seemed to be familiar
with Atlanta-and, had they refused,
he would have insisted. So, he went
to the bank, got the $1,000 in crisp,
yellow notes and stuck them indiffer-
emily into his inside overcoat pocket.
Then they ate. 1t was good
meal, and, afterward, they saw the
moving picture shows in waiting for
time for the big theatres to throw
open their matinee doors. On Edge
wood avenue, near Pryor street
right in the heart Of the downtown
district-they stepped into a door
way. Mr.. Morgan never noticed the
fact that they crowded against him a
bit more than usual, but they were
such jolly fellows and were such good
companions in a strange city, that he
made no comment.
Presently the younger Of the two
announced that he wanted a cigar.
The other felt that he also needed a
smoke. Mr. Morgan suggested that
they all three go get smokes-he
would buy. No, they told him he
mustn't buy. They would step across
the street, get three good cigars and
return. They stepped across the
street. Maybe they got the cigars.
But they haven't returned as yet.
Finds His Money Gone.
Mr.. Morgan waited Thirty min
utes passed and he began to feel
lonely. Intuition finally prompted
him to feel his right hand in the in
ner pocket where the $1,000 had
nestled snugly against other valuable
papers. 1t was gone. Mr.. Morgan
quickly proceeded to police head
quarters. He conferred with Chief
Lanford, leaving good descriptions OF
both men

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all it's stages,
and that is catarrh. Halls Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure now
known to the medical fraternity. Ca
tarrh being institutional disease,
requires a constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure is taken inter-
nally, acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces Of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation of
the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the consti-
tuition and assisting nature in doing
its work. The proprietors have so
much faith in it's curative powers
that they offer one hundred dollars
for any case that it fails to cure.

Comedy prevails on the bill for the first half
Of the week at the Knickerbocker Theatre To
be sure, Edward Clark. in his feature act in
troduced enough pathos in his work at times
to make 1t somewhat exception to the gem
ernl statement. But the surrounding acts were
frankly designed from start to finish for
laughing purposes and attained their end with
a high degree of success.
Edward Clark, to piano accompaniment
gave n number of extremely clever character
representations. ranging from that of a Broad
way chorus girl to a pathetic sketch of n
homeless street urchin. The act was novel
and made hit
Barnes and Robinson, in piano-singinE con-
coction. kept the audience in gales of laughter
from their entrance to exit. There are scores
of teams in vaudeville doing acts of the same
character, but this couple are above the ay-
crage.
