PELLAGRA IN THE DISTRICT.

1t will no doubt surprise the pub
lie to learn that the horrible disease
of pellagra is reported to have sew
eral victims in the District of Column
bia
Doctor Woodward of the health de-
partment says that there were II
cases in the district last year, nine of
which were of local origin. Five pa
tents were white and seven were col
ored, and in each the patients varied
from twenty-three to sixty-seven years.
All cases proved fatal. Doctor Wood
ward goes on to say:
'Pellagra is usually a chronic dis
ease. extending over year or more,
but sometimes it runs an acute course.
Nervous and mental disorders are
usual and distressing features of the
disease. No treatment by hygiene or
drugs can be relied on to cure, al
though some patients recover. The
treatment generally adopted Is that
such conditions as are best calculated
to build up the bodily strength.
The cause and mode of spread of
pellagra is unknown. BY some the
disease has been attributed to eating
unsound or diseased corn, but the
trend of opinion is now against this
hypothesis. Pending developments
the wise course is to preserve an
open mind and for prevention rely on
the ordinary principles of wholesome
living"

BEEF SHORTAGE.

Here are some figures by j. NJ
Pickens. expert in the bureau Of ami.
NAL industry. department of agricul.
ture, in the report he has just made
on the consumption Of meat:
THE high cost of meat is a serious
reality, and it is now obvious that the
rise in price is the result OF an actual
shortage in production"
This is the way Pickens sizes up
the matter in his report, which con-
tinues:
This condition is reflected in the
per capita consumption OF meat in
the United States, which is estimated
to have fallen of ten pounds In four
years, or 162 pounds in 1909 to 152
pounds in 1913 1t Is evident the
country is facing an era of short pro-
duction of meat, and that some con-
structive means must be adopted If
the American appetite for this class
of food is to be supplied. The decline
In beef production is especially
marked"

BLUFF ON FIELD OF HONOR
One Of the Many Good Stories Henry
Labouchere Could Tell of the
Days of His Youth.

A duel is always absurd, even when
1t 1s tragic but 1t is rare indeed for
one of the combatants to be troubled
by it's absurdity. Such, however, was
the case with the famous English
radical, Henry Labouchere, who once
fought duel during his early diplo-
matte career. while he was attached
to the embassy in Stockholm.
There was a want of logic about
the entire proceeding that went to my
heart" he confessed, later ITO be
killed is bad enough, but to be killed
paradoxically is worse. / never felt
more dismal in my life."
Paradoxical the combat certainly
was. since Labouchere had been the
challenger, his ground of offense be-
Ing that his antagonist, an Austrian
officer, had presumed to criticize the
British minister for having given So
cial countenance to fellow Briton
who, disappearing of duels, had re-
Gently declined challenge from con-
scientious scruples. The young diplo-
mat, asserting with spirit that his
chief had behaved properly, and that
Englishmen were not SO silly as to
fight duels, had left the rest to his
secondhand found himself pledged
to fight the next morning, with pis-
tolls, at seven o'clock. He had hoped
for an apology, and admits he was dis
mayed; but he did not allow his feel
ings to be OWNED, and duly made his
appearance upon the field Of honor.
"The Austrian stood apart; I stood
apart. The surgeon already eyed me
as subject The seconds consult
ed; then the Frenchman stepped out
II PAGES. He had very short legs, and
they seemed to me shorter than ever.
After this came the loading of the
pistols. Sometimes, I thought, sec
onds do not put in the bullets; that
comforted me, but only for a moment,
for the bullets were rammed down
with cheerful energy. BY this time
we had been placed facing each other.
A pistol was given to each of us. I
am to give the signal said the Prus-
oiah' SheIll SOuAL OAC, l"Os iii &C,
and then at the word fire, you will
both fire. Gentlemen, are you ready?'
We both nodded. One, two, three,
fire!' and both our pistols went off.
No harm had been done"
Labouchere thought it was all over,
when his opponent, stepping up, re-
marked that he supposed he ought
to allow him a second shot, but should
nothing come Of it, he would not con-
sent to q third Reluctantly on the
part of both participants, second
shot was fired; and they both missed
if indeed either had aimed-again.
Then Labouchere boldly demanded a
third shot.
1.-THE seconds consulted together;
for moment feared they were GO
ing to grant my request, and I was
greatly relieved when they informed
me they considered that two shots
were amply sufficient. l was delight
ed, but / pretended to be most I'M
happy, and kept up the farce of be-
ing an aggrieved person"
The whole affair was certainly
farcical; but the fun depended upon
the leading actors being both very
bad marksmen.-Youth's Companion,

PAY BIG PRICE FOR VANITY
English Women Said to Be Resortins
to Extreme Measures to Reduce
Size Of Their Feet.

Fashions sometimes travel slowly.
Now that the centuries-old bandaging
of womens feet to reduce their size
is being given up in China, the prac-
tice has cropped out In London. A
beauty specialist is responsible. Since
women have taken to short dresses
they have pinched their feet in smaller
shoes, but the reduction OF half size
in the footgear does not make an ef-
feet Of daintiness.
So the clever faker devised method
of shrinking feet. He applies astrin-
gent chemicals and binds the feet in
a rubber bandage. The tissues shrink
and shrivel up under this process, and
the victim of this fad can appear to
have very dainty feet when shod in
glove-fitting shoes; but her wrinkled.
bony feet, when uncovered. are shock
ingly ugly.
