At the close OF the ceremony by
which August Juskow became the hus-

remark to the marriage license clerk

believed his wife out Of hearing, but

HAVE A CURE FOR PELLAGRA
Public Health Service Claims to Be
Able to Conquer This Most
Dreaded Disease.

Pellagra, the dread and mysterious
disease, supposed by some to have
been imported from southern Europe,
by others to be due to eating spoiled
corn, or to chemicals in water, and
which has ravaged the South for sew
eral years, is now reported by the
public health service to be easily cur
able. 1t is, it is said, caused by diet
and can be cured by diet.
The disease has puzzled medical
science for centuries. It has been
specially prevalent in the countries
bordering on the Mediterranean. The
parasitic theory was held for long
time, but without definite results. It
is now announced by the public
health service that pellagra has bes 4
proved to be neither infectious nor
contagious, but dietary in origin. A
generous diet and rest viii effect a
speedy cure.
II has been noticed that the victims
were usually in districts where tha
standard of living was low. This gave
rise to the theory of its origin ia
spoiled corn. Within a year investiga-
tors have reported that it was due to
the composition Of drinking water in
certain places, but this was Offset by
equally positive assertions that It was
beyond doubt parasitic. The stand
ing Of the public health service and
the positive character Of its announce.
ment gives greater hope that the
origin and cure Of the disease have
been discovered.

Cigarets, gambling, women and

quickly. He was having hard going
of it alone. But it wasn't the game
to ask assistance, nor to offer it. It
was ''his own business"
A slave to nicotine at 8, he ran

Covering behind bars here, Ralph

Those sinister impulses upon

from boyhood saturated with the

He was never able to control these

There must be a readjustment of
