such food once or twice week
while others, in the past living on
the borderline, to speak, of peddagra
development, find themselves at
present unable to provide the ami
NAL food necessary to its prevention.
How to Manage the Diet
Much of this might be prevent
ed at little or no additional expense
by merely changing the customary
diet for another just as cheap. 1t
has been pointed out, for instance,
that white beans and peas, fresh or
dried, have a marked effect upon
the prevention and cure of pellagra.
These may be had at almost the
same price that is paid for less suit
able vegetables. Again instead of
white bacon, which, though an ami
NAL food, is very deficient in protein
matter, the came sum available for
the family larder would be ex-
pended to much better advantage in
some of the cheaper cuts of beef or
other fresh meat.
Where available an Ideal diet
calculated to prevent or cure this
disease would be for breakfast a
cereal, eggs and milk; for dinner,
rare meat, peas or beans, wheat
bread and any other vegetables de-
sired and for supper, bread, milk,
meat, if available, and eggs. The
two foods best calculated to be of
service. in proportion to the bulk
consumed, are milk and eggs.
Disease Not Contagious.
1T is hardly necessary to state
that pellagra is neither contagious
or infectious nor transmissable in
any manner from one individual to
another. Its occurrence in several
members of family or it's marked
prevalence in certain localities are
due to similar and improper condi-
tons of living, not to commune
cability.
ITO prevent its occurrence on a
large scale, the above facts must
be clearly kept in mind by those Sc
lecting the family menu and it
should be remembered that even
though cures may be effected by
suitable changes in diet, yet an in
definite number of occurrences may
take place upon the resumption of
those foods primarily responsible for
it's origin. One attack does not con-
fer and immunity whatsoever, re-
peated attacks are noted in the
same individual. and it is probable,
rather, that one attack predisposes
to another.
Economic and School Problem.
THE control of thedisease resolves
itself into aan economic and social
problem rather than one of a medi-
cal nature. Natural aid could be
given to the efforts of the health
department by any organizations or
individuals willing to assist by sup
plying to needy cases the means of
securing the foods so essential to
their relief" concluded DR.. Terry
Times Union.

Pellagra Is Increasing
Rapidly In Florida

During the past two months
there has been a marked increase in
the prevalence of reported cases of
pellagra in this city and a CORES
ponding increase in the number of
deaths from this cause" yesterday
said DR.. C. E. Terry, city health Of
1icer ''In view of comparatively re-
cent knowledge of this disease and
of rational methods of presentation
and the treatment, it would appear
timely for the community at large
to take the matter under serious
consideration.
I'VE have heard a great deal in
recent years, especially in the
Southern states, of pellagra and of
the various theories as to it's cause
and it is unnecessary to give in de-
tail all of these. The two which
have probably gained the greatest
following are, First, that the dis
case is confined to localities where
the chief articles of diet are maise
products or the so-called corn
theory; some of the observers be-
lieving that corn itself caused the
disease and others that only spoiled
corn was responsible. The other
commonly accepted explanation Of
the spread of pellagra was that it
was a transmissable disease and was
probably carried by some insect,
different varieties of gnats, bed bugs
and flies have been under suspicion
from time to time, but no generally
satisfactory explanation of its cause,
it's prevalence in certain sections
and it's racial distributions have
been forthcoming until about a year
ago when DR.. Joseph Goldberger, of
the [. S. public health service, first
published an account of the obser-
vations which led him to advance
what is known as the dietary origin
of the disease.
Lack of Certain Food Element.
More than any other previously
published, does this theory of the
origin of the pellagra appear to eX-
plain satisfactorily the many indie
pendent observations concerning
pellagra, Briefly this theory is that
the disease originates from the lack
pf toi oil ho tot
of the individual. 1T does not neces-
sarily mean that pellagra is due to
starvation, to insufficient food, but
rather to an Unbalanced ration.
THE food elements in question
are those commonly known as pro-
tein food found in animal food such
as meat, milk and eggs and in the
so-called leguminous vegetables such
as beans and peas. In other words,
diet continually lacking in such
foods may, under favorable condi-
tions, produce pellagra. DR.. Gold
berger observed in several public
institutions where children of differ
ent ages were fed on different diets
that practically all the cases of pei
lagra occurred among those children
whose diet consisted for the most
part Of vegetables with a notice
able absence of animal food. 1t was
further observed that where a bet
ter balanced ration was instituted
by the addition of meat, eggs and
milk the cases of pellagra improved
or recovered almost without excep-
ton.
No Cases In Army
1T is also a matter of record that
no cases of pellagra have ever been
observed in our army or navy ex-
cept occasionally in individuals who

BAYONNE, July 22.-Three strik.
ers were probably fatally shot today
and several seriously wounded as
they attempted to scale the walls Of
the Standard Oil plant. One hundred
and fifty of the strikers, who had
been hiding behind church near by,
rushed to the walls; and as they
reached the top the guards within
fired. 1t is reported two of the
guards were wounded. Sheriff Kin
kaid swore in 500 deputies secretly at
the courthouse. The strikers are con-
gregated on the streets. The entire.
police force is on the scene seeking
to pacify the men. Last night the
strikers terrorized the town by firing
a number of buildings, entailing a
loss of 100000.

The story Of the plague which Wis

as the editor of the Appeal knows,
until Hon. Geo. A. Cole, state control
Ter, getting in reminiscent mood since
his location in Carson, began digging
up his notes and put them in narrative.
Mr.. Cole was in Tonopah at the time

and as a member of the sick commit

miners union he went through the
thick of it. One other member OF
