BLAMES HIGH MEAT
COST FOR PELLACRA
Says Poor In South Eat an
Excess Of Fats.

Washington.-The spread of pella.
gra in the south in the last seven or
eight years is largely due to the high
cost of fresh meat. which has led the
poorer classes to eat too large al
amount Of carbohydrates and fats.
This is the conclusion announced by
Edgar Sydenstricker, statistician of
the United States health service
In the northern states" he says.
the average family was found to con
sumo between 1000 and LOO pounds
of protein. while In the southern states
the protein consumption averaged be
tween 200 and 800 pounds.
The southern family consumed
nearly a pound IA week less of fresh
beef. nearly half as much milk. very
much less Of other meats and hardly
any salt beef. as compared with north
ern families.
While families in northern states
were found to consume larger quaint
ties OF butter. families In southern
states consumed over 60 per cent more
lard and nearly three times as much
salt hog products"

south and two miles east of Armour.
and among those attending were j.
w. Peacock and party. also Mr.. and

presently was overtaken by the autos.
several of which passed the vehicle.
Thinking hat all the autos had pass

pulled into the road again, when Mr..

rushing along at a good clip. The
driver attempted to pull out of the
road: the auto also attempted TO pull
out, but neither of them swerved far
enough. with the result that the auto
struck the buggy and demolished Ii.
The AUTO turned over completely and
righted itself. The occupants of the
buggy got off with a severe shaking
up. The occupants of the auto were
injured. The driver and his wife
were badly scratched up. while Miss

BRIDGE BONDS


Yankton. Nov. 11.-With the larg-
est vote e polled in the county and
general interest at a high pitch,
Yankton county yesterday voted TO
issue $500. 600 in bonds to aid in the
construction of a bridge across the
Missouri river near this city. There
was a net majority OF SCI for the
proposition. In the three precincts
of Yankton the vote was: For bonds.
1855. against bonds. 54.
According TO guarantees placed on
file this county aid fund eannot be
used unless a railroad Is constructed
from the north part of the county.
The real project behind the bridge
deal is the building of a railroad line
from the northern part of Yankton
county to Omaha. and the Yankton
hackers OF the bridge and railroad
claim that both deals will be fully
financed at an early date. Senator
Ed :. johnson was one of the active
figures in pushing the bond issue.
In view of Omaha's efforts for sew
eral years TO get a north and south
line from Yankton TO Omaha. il is
the feeling among local business men
that Sioux City will soon show a re-
vival of interest in the much dis
cussed Niobrara cutoff. If this cut
off is built the Yankton territory still
would be much closer to Sioux City,
even with the south route open.

Women who lived there for some

would inform the Americans thai
there was to be a battle. and then the
Americans would gather in n house
over which they would hoist a white
flag. They would not be harmed and
only the native population ever be

neither faction would harm United
