There are numerous cases Of pe.- lagra in and around Jonesboro," said Dr, c. w. Garrison, State health off cer, who returned from Jonesboro. Among the cases are several that are serious.
 "Pellagra is due solely to an in,- proper or unbalanced diet" said Dr. Garrison, in explaining findings of in vestigations recently conducted by himself and Dr. Joseph Coldbergef, noted surgeon with the United States public health service. The disease is ger of taking it by contact with per sons suffering from the disease. This conclusion is concurred in by an em- phatic statement by Dr. Goldberger.
 "TThe Arkansas Board of Health does not hold that it is communicable and the only restriction concerning it is that children so affected shall not at tend school, and this is done largely from a hygienic point of view.
 Dr. Goldberger claims that admins tration of medicine is not indicated and his experiments tend to prove that all that is necessary to bring about re covery of pellagra is to correct the 0iet.''
 Dr. Goldberger, in recent dispatches from Washington, was quoted as say ing the cause of pellagra has been traced to starchy diet.
 ''l believe the quotation was wrong, said Dr. Garrison. "Dr. Goldberger says it is due to an improper diet, but not necessary to an improper diet of starchy food. Of course, diet Of starchy foods could cause it just as well as any other unbalanced or i'm proper diet, but starchy foods are not the only cause for pellagra."
 Dr. Garrison advocated large quanti ties of fresh milk for pellagra patients, the milk to be fresh milk or butter milk. Fresh peas. beans, eggs, meat bread and butter as the principal diet, is worth of recommendation. according to Dr. Garrison. Vegetables and fruits should be administered from time to time.
