With S, ,229, ,0OO,O0O on deposit in the national banks of the United States, as reported by the comptroller of the treasury, that half billion dollar loan was but a drop in the bucket, for the United States. It was particularly in appreciable from the fact that it all went back into the banks again, so that the deposits were not reduced. The total resources of the banks were about $3,O0O, 100000 more than that amount.
 The amount itself on deposit, how ever, is not as significant as the fact that during the ten weeks preceding this report the amount had increased ! $408, 100000 or at the rate of s40,000,- GOO per week, which ratio, if kept up for year would amount to $2,0OO,- 100000, or nearly one fourth of the entire amount on deposit.
 This represents the money in the national banks alone When to this is added the amount in the state and private banks and the trust compan- ies, the sum would be augmented by several millions. The figures first banks, state banks and trust c5mpan- named, excluding that in the savlngs ies, is said to be about twice as large as that of any other nation in the world
 This is not a condition to be particu. larly boastful of, but it does seem to be one of great satisfaction, and one cause for thanksgiving

 Their quarters were better than those of the other convicts. The diet given them consisted of biscuits, fried mush,
 grits and brown gravy, syrup corn bread cabbage, sweet potatoes. rice, collards and coffee with sugar. All
 components- of the dietary were of
 the best quality and were properly cooked. As a preliminary, and to
 determine if the convicts were af- flicted with any other disease they
 were kent under observation from
 February 4th' to April 9th, two and half months, on which date the one sided diet was begun.

PELLAeRA CURE DISCOVERED

Announcement was made at the Treasury Department today that as a result of continued research and ex- periments of the Public Health Ser vice, both the cause and the cure of that the spread of this dread malady which has been increasing in the United States at terrific rate dur ing the past few years, may now be checked and eventually eradicated. Assistant Secretary Newton, in charge of the Public Health Service, express ed great interest in the discovery ana regards it as one of the most import ant achievements of medical science in recent years.
 Pellagra has been increasing alarm ingly throughout the United States during the last eight years, and it is estimated that 75,000 cases of the disease will have occurred in the Un- ited States in 1915, and of this num- Der at least 75OO will have died be- fore the end of the year. In many, sections only tuberculosis and pneu- monia exceed it as a cause of death.
 The final epochemaking experiment of the Public Health Service was car ried on at the farm of the Mississippi State Penitentiary about eight miles east of Jackson, Miss, and together with the previous work of the Ser vice completes the chain in the pre- vention and cure of the disease. The work at the Mississippi farm has been in charge of Surgeon Joseph Gold berger and Assistant Surgeon G. A. Wheeler of the United States Public Health Service. The farm consists of 3200 acres in the center of which is the convict camp. The final ;eX- pertinent was undertaken for the pur- pose of testing the possibility of pro- ducing pellagra in healthy human white adult males by a restricted, ] one-sided, mainly carbohydrate ! (cereaD diet. Of eleven convicts who volunteered for this experiment, l six developed typical dermatitis and mild nervous gastro-intestinal Symp- toms. ..- -.-.- ExpoTts, including Dr. E. H. Gal l:.way, the Secretary of the Mississ- ] ippi State Board of Health, Dr.. No Ian Stewart, formerly Superintendent of the Mississippi State Hospital for the Insane at Jackson, Dr. Marcus Hause, Professor of Dermatology Medical College of the University of Tennessee, Memphis, Tenn, and Dr ..
 Martin R. Engman, Professor of Der matology in the Washington Medical School, St. Louis, Mo, declare that
 the disease which was produced was
 true pellagra.
 Prior to the commencement of these
 experiments no history could be found of the occurrence of pellagra on the lpenitentiary farm. On this farm are
 75 or 80 convicts Governor Ear Brewer offered to pardon twelve of the convicts who would volunteer foI 1.-the experiment. They were assured 1 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 absence ot

A HIsToRlc SHELTER.
By Charles F. Willis

The history of the advancement of copper smelling practice is well illus trated by the progress of the smelt- CTS of the Arizona Copper Company at Clifton. In 1878 the first smelter of the district was erected to treat the ores of the Longfellow mine, which is still working portion of the properties of the Arizona Copper Company. The smelting apparatus was a little adobe furnace fed with locally burned charcoal. In 1880 this little Mexican furnace was equipped with water jackets, con sidered a great improvement in those days.
 In 1882 the rights of the Longfel- low Mining Company were purchased by the Arizona Copper Co.,, Ltd, Scotch corporation, who immediately began improvements to increase the capacity. For over 30 years the slnelter then erected did business and regularly turned out the copper, although as improvements were made in the smelting practice, changes were made, and the plant was practically rebuilt three different tines.
 The new plant, which was blown in last year, embodies the very last word in smelling practice, and is one of the show smelters of the country. Electricity does everything that is possible to be done in. that way and materials are almost handled automa- tically. The two plants side by side play be compared to Fulton's first steamboat and one of our great ocean liners.
 The old smelter continued to oper- ate for some time, however, until the new plant was all blown in and suc- cessfully handling all the products of the mines; then, fitting ceremonies to the old plant, which had turned out so many millions of copper, it was allowed to stop and grow cold, sad memory to the old timers of the Clifton district.
 The new plant is rehandling even the dirt of the district which contains large quantities of copper, in some iparts as high as 30 percent.

It is sincerely to be hoped that the efforts of a number of leading busi- ness men of the county to bring about resumption of operations in this district upon terms satisfactory to the former employees of the con- panies as well as the mine managers will meet with success. It is un- derstood that the efforts of the busi- ness men was with the knowledge and sanction of a large number of former employees. Certainly the eff fort can do no harm. The result of the strike is being keenly felt by all classes and its termination would be cause for rejoicing.

BOOKER T. WASHINGTON

When Appomattox left the ex- slave stranded on the strange shore of freedom, many toil-bent field hands wanted their children to learn Latin. What Latin was they had no idea; they knew it played some part in the culture of section more given to oratory and politics than chemistry and manufacture. Need developed leaders in wiser ways; the greatest of these died yesterday.
 Booker T. Washington did not know how old he was. He must have been born before 1859, the date usually given, else we must suppose him placed at twenty-two at the head of Tuskegee. He had learn ed at Hampton, and at once began teaching that what the black most needed was steady work and money in the bank. He praised the negro banker, teacher, lawyer, physician; he could take a quiet and Quizzical satisfaction in the prowess of Jack Johnson; but what pleased him most was that 2,5OO,OO0 negroes were hv ing in owned homes in 1910 and that negro farmers owned more than one billion dollars worth of cultivat- ed farms.
 Herein Dr. Washington was wiser leader than those impetuous souls who demanded for the negro at once every political right and cultural op- portunity. The negro is on the soil. He is in the South. His surest, short est road to an assured place is eff ciency. Dr. Washington was far seeing in his desire to work in harm cny with white men of his section. It is to the credit of the whites that they were so ready to work with him.
