HICHIsYoURc CROWD?

At the Local Option Election Dec. 9th, the voters Of Lafay-
cite County will separate themselves into two classes. One will
be for and the other against saloons. One will vote dry" and
the other wet or not at all.
In both groups will be found some leading citizens of the
county,-men of high standing, splendid character and large
usefulness. But shading off from these representative men, a
wide difference in general character and conduct will be found.
Brewers, saloon keepers, gamblers, hoboes, old soaks, dead
to every sense of manhood, the immoral and dissolute, the shift
less and lazy fellows who have lost everything through drink
slaves to alcohol, but who shout for personal hberty,-those who
will sell their vote for a dollar or a drink Of whiskey, will all be
found voting wet"
On the other hand, most of the preachers and teachers of
the county, most of the wives and mothers, most of the church
members, most of the enterprising and successful business men.
most OF the progressive farmers, the fathers who want to safe
guard the pathway OF boys, young men, who are ambitious for
excellence, will be found working to secure a dry" majority of
the ballot box.
It'll a pertinent question therefore to ask of each Lafayette
County voter (which is your Crowd? VIII you take your stand
with the first or the second? viii you cast in your lot with
those who tear down instead 0. those who build up? viii YOU
have it said Of you "That man actually went and voted for sa-
loons-the greatest cause of poverty, vice, crime, and immoral
ity to be found among men today" Is that what you want to
do? Do you want thus to help swell the number of undesir-
ables? Are they your crowd?
Would you not rather be in with those who average up well
all down the line to the last man of the bunch. If so then you
want to get in with the "dry" crowd.
Young men who drink, labor under a great handicap in the
business world. No railroad, bank, store, office or shop wants
him. Employers everywhere discriminate against them.
Young men of Lafayette County will you vote for or
against your own best interests? viii you vote for saloons
which encourage and beget incorporate habits and thus block
the path Of progress of all who patronize these places?
Why not join together and say "We1l do our best to make
our county dry"
1t will pay you in dollars and cents as well as in character
and reputation.
Vote dry" an dyou will never hurt any one by SO doing. nor
regret it yourself, and you will be in with the best company on
earth.

properly cooked. AS a prelim-
mary, and to determine if the
convicts were afflicted with any
other disease, they we're kept
under observation from Febrd-
airy 4th to April 9th, two and a
half months, on which date the
one sided diet was begun.
Although the occurrence of
nervous symptoms and CASTRO
intestinal disturbances was
noted early, it was not until Sep
TENDER 18th, or about five
months after the beginning of
the restricted diet, that the skin
symptoms so charactistic of pei
lagra began to develop. These
symptoms are considered as typ
zeal, every %precaution being
taken to make sure that they
were not caused by any other
disease. The convicts upon
whom the experiment was being
made, as well as twenty other
convicts who were selected as
controls, were kept under con-
tinuous medical surveillance. No
cases Of pellagra developed in
camp excepting among those
men who were on the restricted
diet. The experimenters have
therefore drawn the conclusion
that pellagra has been caused in
at least six of the eleven volun-
teers as a result Of the one sided
diet on which they subsisted.
On the basis of this discovery,
the States Of Mississippi, Louis
lana, and Florida have laid their
propaganda through their re-
spective boards Of health for
the eradication of the disease.

HEALTH NEWS
Public Health Service Discovers
Cause and Cure Of PelIagra.
PelIagra Caused by In
sufficient PrOteid Diet.

search and experiments of the
Public Health Service, both the
cause and the cure of pellagra
have been discovered, and that
the spread of this dread malady,
which has been increasing in the
United States at a terrific rate
during the past few years, may
now be checked and eventually
eradicated. Assistant Secretary
Newton, in charge of the Public
Health Service, expressed great
interest in the discovery and re-
CARDS it as one Of the most i'm
portant achievements of medical
science in recent years.
Pellagra has been increasing
a~larmingly throughout the
United States during the last
eight years, and it is estimated
that $4,000 cases of the disease
will have occurred in the United
States in 1915, and of this num-
Der at least $500 viii have died
before the end Of the year. In
many sections only tuberculosis
and pneumonia exceed it as a
cause of death.
The final epoch-making exper-
iment of the Public Health Ser
vice was carried out at the farm
of the Mississippi State Peniten-
tiary about eight miles east of
Jackson, Miss, and together
with the previous work of the
Service completes the chain in
the prevention and cure of the
disease. The work at the Miss
issippi Farm has been in charge
of Surgeon Joseph Goldberger
and Assistant Surgeon G. A.
Wheeler of the United States
Public Health Service. The
farm consists of 3, 200 acres in
the center Of which is the con-
vict camp. The final experiment
was undertaken for the purpose
of testing the possibility of pro-
ducing pellagra in healty human
white adult males by a restricted
one-sided, mainly carbohydrate
(cereal) diet. Of eleven con-
victs who volunteered for this
experiment, six developed a ty-
pical dermatitis and mild ner-
vous gastro-intestinal symptoms.
Experts, including DR.. E. H.
Galloway, the Secretary of the
Mississippi State Board of
Health, DR.. Nolan Stewart, for
merly Superintendent of the
Mississippi State Hospital for
the Insane at Jackson, DR.. Mar
Gus Hause, Professor of Derma-
tology, Medical College of the
University of Tennessee, Mem
phis, Tenn, and DR.. Martin R.
Engman, Professor of Dermatol-
ogy in the Washington Medical
School, st. Louis, Mo, declare
that the disease which was pro-
duced was true pellagra.
Prior to the commencement of
these experiments no history
could be found of the occurrence
of pellagra on the penitentiary
farm. On this farm are rs or
80 convicts. Governor Earl
Brewer offered to pardon twelve
of the convicts who would volun-
teer for the experiment. They
were assured that they would
receive proper care throughout
the experiment, and treatment
should it be necessary. The diet
given was bountiful and more
than sufficient to sustain life. It
differed from that given the
other convicts merely in the alb
sence of meats, milk, eggs.
beans, peas, and similar pro-
ted foods. In every other par
ticular the convicts selected for
the experiment were treated ex-
actly as were the remaining con-
victs. They had the same rou-

NEW TUBERCULOSIS CURE.
French Physician Says White Plague
 Must Be Treated by Chemical Means

Paris, Aug. 25. 5:3O a. m.-Dr. Louis Renon, physician connected with the Necker hospital and a mem- Der of the medical faculty of the University of Paris, has announced to the Therapeutic society that as a re- suit of long research he is able to prove that tuberculosis, contrary to the generally accepted theory, must be treated by chemical means and not by serums. His paper has caused considerable stir in medical circles where it is held that he has opened a new path in the cure of the white plague. Dr. RenOn says that his endeavors have been directed to- wards finding a substance which will kill bacill in an animal organizat tion without injuring the elements of that organization. As a beginning he es- abolished a list of antiseptics which arrest development of bacilli in cul- lures. He also found substances which bacilli cannot develop These, e says, are potassium, sulphur, phos-
 hates iron and magnesium.
 Thus, he claims, therapeutic action
 m be obtained by adding certa in.
 stances to an animal organism and
 by withdrawing by means of
 tary other substances necessary to ne growth of bacilli.
