WAR MAY CAUSE PEARL FAMINE
World Must Look to Mississippi River
For Its Supply in Future,

Muscatine. Sept "a - hould the
present European war continue for any
length of time II Is possible that a
pearl famine Will be precipitated and
should such be the case, the main
source OF supply will undoubtedly be
the Mississippi river. Pearls are re-
ported scarce on account of the inter-
ruption in shipments from the orient
to London and Paris and thence 70
New York. Experts state that this will
stimulate the demand for the fresh
water pearl found in the musseis of
the Mississippi and its tributaries.
Manufacturers are also worried at
present over the supply Of colored
stones and imitation gems received
chiefly from Germany and Austria In
the past. A suggestion has already
been made that the jewellers begin 10
substitute colored stones that may be
obtained in various states of this
country and Mexico. A movement may
De started TO make more popular the
stones that are mined and cut In this
country.
Germany and Austria have been the
sources from which have come great
ored stones, and also Of synthetic
and imitation gems of all kinds and
jewellery novelties. especially in the
cheaper lines. Paris has sent this coun-
try in the past much OF the more ex-
pensive and artistic jewelry. All these
supplies must now be provided in one
way or another by the domestic manu-
facturers.

PELlAGRA IN sioux CITY
Malady Of Maurice G. Lsahsy De-

Sioux City, Sept. 24.--Sioux City
| physicians have diagnosed the malady
of Maurice CT. Leahey. railroad
switchman living near Seventh and
Lafayette streets, as pellagra, or
| 'Lombardian leprosy." disease of
great rarity and one which. althoush
it is not considered contagious. is
among the most sinister with which
medical men have to deal.
A report on the case has been mad
TO state health authorities, and a dis
cusson OF it is printed in the current
issue of the journal OF the state
medical society. The name OF the vic
tim is omitted in the discussion.
The case is the first of pellagra that
ever has been reported in Sioux City
or in this section, according to doctors.
Not mora than seven cases have been
discovered in Iowa since the disease
made its appearance in America, and
probably the number OF authenticated
cases in the state has been even less
than that il IS asserted,

sicians have been held in connection
with his ulalaiy. Although the pei
lagra developed during his incapacita-
ton because o. the injury, il is not
thought the injury in any degree was
responsible.
The nature OF pellagra is such that
its victim usually survives through
three clearly marhed STAGES, which APP
