"God told Saul to slay the Anal

them for his own. God was dis
pleased and brought Saul to task.
Then Saul tried to excuse himself.

those of the other cenvicts. The
diet given them consisted of bis
cults, fried mush, grits and brown
gravy, syrup, corn bread, cabbage,
sweet potatoes, rice, collart}s and
coffee with sugar. All components
Of the dietary were of the best
quality and were properly cooked.
AS preliminary, and to determine
whether the convicls were afflicted
with any other disease, they were
kept under observation from Feb
ruary A to April 9, two and a half
months, on which date the one
sided died was begun.
Although the occurrence Of ner-
vous symptoms and CASTRO -intesti-
nal disturbances was noted early,
it was not until September IL, or
about FIVE months after the begin
ming of the restricted diet, that the
skin symptoms SO characteristic OF
pellagra began to develop. These
symptoms are considered as typi-
cal, every precaution being taken
to make sure that they were not
caused be another disease. The
convicts upon whom the expert
ment was being made, as well as
twenty other convicts who were Sc
lected as controls, were kept under
continuous medical surveillance,
No cases of pellagra developed in
camp excepting among those men
who were on the restricted diet.
The e1perimenters have therefore
drawn the conclusion that pellagra
has been caused in at least six of
the eleven volunteers as result of
the one-sided diet on which they
-subsisted.
On the basis Of this discovery,
the States Of Mississippi, Florida
and Louisiana have laid their
propaganda through their respec-
tive boards of health for the eredi-
cation of the disease.

CAUSE AND CURE
FOR PELLAGRA

Washington, ~. T., November
1z--Announcement was made at
the Treasury Department today
that as result of continued re-
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 q terrific rate during the
past few years, may now be check
ed and eventual y eradiceted. AS
sistant Secretary Newton, in charge
of the Public Health Service, ex-
pressed great interest in the dis
covery and regards il as one of the
most important achievements of
medical science in recent years.
Pellagra has been increasing
alalmingly throughout the United
States during the last eight years,
and it is estimated that rs, 900 cases
Of the disease will have occurred
in the United States in 1916, and
of this number at least $500 will
have died before the end of the
year. In many sections only tu-
bercalosis and pneumonia exceed
it as cause of death.
The Gnal epoch making expert
ment of the Public Health Service
was carried out at the farm of the
Mississippi State Penitentiary near
jackson, Miss, and together with
the previous work Of the service
completes the chain in the preven-
tien and cure of the disease. The
work at the Mississippi Farm has
been ia charge of Surgeon Joseph
pGoldberger and Assistant Surgeon
G.. A. Wheeler of the United States
Public Health Service. The farm
consists OF 1900 acres in the center
of which is the convict camp. The
6nal experiment was undertaken
for the purpose of testing the pos
sibility of producing pellagra in
healthy human white adult males
by restricted, one-sided, mainly
carbohydrate (cereal9 diet. OF
eleven convicts who volunteered
FOR this experiment, six developed
a typical dermatitis and mild ner-
vous gastro-intestinal symptoms.
Experts, including DR.. %. II.
Galloway, the secretary of the
Mississippi State Board of Health,
DR.. Nolan Stewart, formerly super.
intedent Of the Mississippi State
Hospital for the dnsane at Jack
son, DR.. Marcus Hause, professor
of dermatology, Medical College
Of the University of Tennessee,
Memphis, Tenn and DIR. Martin
r. Engman, professor of derma-
tology 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 pei
lagra on the penitentiary farm,
On this farm are 75 or S0convicts.
Governor Earl Brewer offered to
pardon twelve Of the convicts who
would volunteer 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 suffi-
cient to sustain life. 1t differed
from that given the other convicts
merely in the absence OF meats,
milk, eggs, beans, peas and similar
proteid foods. In every other par
ticular the convicts selected for the
experiment were treated exactly as

ONE YEAR OF WAR.

A year ago the war in Europe began. and IN
that country this day comes as a sad anniversary.
The pail Of death hangs over each of the coun-
tries involved, many of their best mon having
paid forfeit OF their lives in a cause for which
the ruler Of each of the belligerent countries
denies his country to be at fault. 1t is a war
whoge beginning is seemingly regarded as a
badge Of dishonor by the countries whose armies
are in the field.
And there is in sight no end of the fearful
conflict. 1t has the appearance of a war which
is to be one of endurance, that the victory will
come to that country which shows itself able to
stand the greatest punishment without throwing
up it's hands. From neither side comes a hint
that there has been enough. but each is calling
more men into the field and calling for more
money. Talk of peace falls on ears deafened
by the roar of the cannon, and senses dulled
by the lust of conquest.
Count the cost Of ambitions in the killed, and
the number about approaches two and a half
million, with over five million wounded, and
some two million prisoners, a total levied upon
the belllgerents of about ten million, some esti-
mates making the figures as great as twelve mil
lion. In round numbers the killed Of each of
the nations amount to: Russia $4,000; Ger
many, $40, 900; France, 410, 900; Austria, AGO.
wv; England, l4O,OOO; turkey, 1O,0OO; BEL
GUM, 5 5000; Servia, 5000; Montenegro, 200;
Italy, 10, 900; Japan, 800. And in each case the
wounded number approximately twice as many
as the killed.
The world may we'll stand aghast at the ire
mendous tragedy and pray for peace. No matter
to which side goes the victor's crown it will
have paid a terrific cost, and for years upon
years to come the nations now bloody in war
will hoyo fo ~ pr;oo T., A,oor;oo o~l ~
those other nations which are neutral there may
we'll be thanksgiving to God on this first day
of August that they have been spared the hor-
rors of the conflict which makes humanity hide
it's face and CT civilization look toward the future
with dread.

NOT A STAND-STILL STATE.

That progress which has been made in North
Carolina marks it as a State concerning whose
future we have not yet grasped the hem of the
garment. Blessed with the greatest kinds Of re-
sources there is nothing which should be al
lowed to stand in the way Of the accomplish
ment Of the greatest things for it. This is not
a stand-still State. We must go forward.
1t is that spirit of determination for advance
for the State which marks the enterprise of the
Greensboro Chamber of Commerce in arranging
for a great P~an-American Dinner to bring to
the fore the part which this State should take
in developing great trade relations between
North Carolina and the Latin Americas. In Sc
curing the acceptance of Secretary of the Treas
ury McAdoo to address the great gathering
which has been planned for the evening of
Wednesday, August four, a ten strike has been
made by the Greensboro Chamber of mmer
for Secretary McAdoo takes place as the leading
figure in pressing for the expansion of American
trade to the countries of Central and South
America.
The event is to be made a big one, for it is one
of great promise to the State. That it NAV have
us 1ull influence there have been invited to at
tend the dinner some fifteen hundred North
Carolinians, who will have the opportunity TO
hear at first hand from Secretary McAdoo the
steps which should be taken. the onnortunities
which are offered. Every man who has heen
invited should make it a point to be present at
the dinner, which is to be given under the Joint
auspices Of the Greensboro Chamber of Com
merce and the State Normal and Industrial Col
lege. The invitation committee in its letter 70

North Carolina is now beginning to take
its proper place in the van of progressive

FOR LIMBS AND LIVES.

Is there any need in this enlightened age -
attempt to argue that there IS danger 70 IA
public in grade crossings Of railroads? va
think not, for there has been so much actual
contact with disasters arising from these that
the public generally is aroused to their menace.
And right at the doors of Raleigh We have some
notable instances in which there is Imperative
need for reform.
This is in the matter Of the three grade cross
ines between this city and Cary, at Method
where there have been such accidents and loss
Of life in the past few years as to demand =
change in conditions. We have at hand a list OF
names which shows that eleven people have
been killed on the railroads between Raleigh
and Cary, with the legs of one person cut of,
rendering him practically helpless. while teams
have been killed and wagons demolished. AS
long as these grade crossings remain they are
invitations to death, it being estimated by OBJ
servers of railroad traffic that between sixty and
seventy-fve trains pass these places each day,
with some three hundred vehicles, INCLUDING
about a hundred automobiles. In one evening
between six and half past seven o'clock seven
trains were counted passing on that stretch Of
road when the highway was crowded with
vehicles.
There is one body of men, and one only.
which can remedy the present conditions and
straighten the road, that body the County Com
missioners of Wake. The matter Is to be pre-
sented to that body this week and it should take
action in having the public highway straight
ened. No private interests have the right to
stand in the way of the good of the people OF
Wake county, and if there are such, they should
be told to stand to one side. On which side Of
the railroad the public highway shall be located
is a matter for the engineer at present. but the
crossings should be eliminated. Future deaths
can be we'll laid at the door Of the County Com
missioners if they fail to act. The responsibility
is on them.
Lift is the great question at issue, but beside
that there is a large volume Of trade which for
merly came to Raleigh from western Wake and
Chatham counties which has been diverted to
Durham because of the danger from these three
grade crossing s. It is often the case that long,
heavy freight trains take several minutes to
pass one crossing, at times eight to ten vehicles
being blocked to wait the passing of the train.
The crossings themselves are in bad condition
now, we do not know when they have been in
good condition., their roughness, and rails stand
ing above the road making it a strain on s
vehicle to pass except at a very slow rate The
economic loss in damage to vehicles and IN
time lost slowing down waiting for trains would
more than offset the cost OF eliminating two OF
these crossings within three months.
The Commissioners should not hesitate but
should take the bull by the horns and order
the elimination Of the grade crossings at
Method. Such action will be in the interest q
the people.
