MANY PELLAGRA PATIENTS

Vicksburg, Miss, June 25.-lt is a
daily occurrence for pellagra sufferers
to call on the mayor for assistance in
getting back to their homes in various
parts of the state from where they
have ben sent here for treatment, only
to find that they will not be taken at
the charity hospital. This morning
there were three of these unfortunatos
at the city hall asking for assistance.
All three of these. negroes, were
penniless and will have to be taken
care of by the public until they can
be sent back to their homes.
Regardless of the notices sent out
and the information given in the news
papers that pellagra sufferers cannot
be taken care of at the hospital, the
authorities in several cities and towns
in the state continue to send them
here.

GreCnyille, Miss, June 25.-Mayor
Charles 2. Williams began a crusade
today against slot machines, giving
positive orders to Chief of Police Nc
Claim to notify every firm operating
any kind Of slot machine to quit it
now The orders were put in effect
this morning. There is talk of testing
the legality of the order, as it effects
that class of machines that gives all
to the customer and takes nothing
back, the contentious being that it is
not gambling game of chance unless
both parties to the game can lose.
The mayor contends that it all has
the tendency to inculcate the habit of
gamdling-to get something for moth
ing-and intends to stop the slot ma

Meanwhile, it is understood that

Every veterinarian in Natchez is
working night and day inoculating

The owners Of the stock are fully
aware of the peril and are making
every effort to save by prompt action.
In accordance with the state law the
body of every animal that has died
has been buried in quick lime immedi-
ately and officers have been detailed
to watch all animals that are infected
to see that they are buried at the
moment of death. It is said that char
bon is spreading in COncordia parish,
La. because Of carelessness in vac
cination, a large number of stock own
ers having done this themselves.
Within the last few days there has
been a constant demand for NatcheZ
veterinaries to assist in the fight be

mand for their services here prevents
their responding except TO a limited
| degree.

on buzzards. carrion crows and black
birds, as it is said that they spread
the disease. Warning has also been
given that the bodies of animals dying
must not be put in streams.
! Cattle raising is now the leading III
dustry of this section. In Adams coun-
ty more brands were registered since
January than for 16 years previous

fight against the scOurge is being
made, and also because the disease is
not confined to animals alone.
Three people are known to have
died with it in Natchez within recent
years.
