with CLASSY eyes and skin like parch-
ment, as he staggered into a New Or
leans hotel to-day.
Il am w. ii. English, one Of the
eleven convicts released from the
Mississippi penitentiary for risking
their lives to prove that an unbal-
anced diet caused pellagra," the
emaCiated victim Of science explained
as he sank into chair and allowed
his head to fall between his knees.
Later in the day English consented
to write his own story Of DR.. Gold
berger's test, which shows that pei
lagra is non-communicable and is
caused by an unbalanced diet such as
is common among the poorer classes
in the South. The story as written
by him follows:
1, "
Governor Brewer and DR.. Goldberger
offered freedom to any one who
would live on prescribed diet for
nine months, even though it meant
contracting pellagra and probably
death, gladly consented to make the
test. Freedom is mighty sweet, and
] was willing to face death to secure
it. But | believe have paid in full
for my crime. Nine months OF tor
ture, just think Of it,
Attempted Suicide.
Several of us tried suicide during
the last few ,,,onths. but we were
watched night and day. At any time
! would have glady welcomed bull
let, but our guards only laughed
when We attempted to escape. They
knew we could not break out, and,
in our weakened condition, could not
freedom.
Il have read various newspapers
telling all about DR.. GolGbergers s
discovery, the triumph of medicine,
but not one word have read OF the
poor wretches who have been tortur-
ed for 27O days. At least two Of the
pellagra squad made formal applica-
ton to the penitentiary board to be
sent back to serve their life terms in
preference to the suffering they nm
dcrwent. These two were Guy r.
James and ID. w. Pitts.
Five weeks ago six Of us tainted
one day and had to be put to bed.
TO think OF eating the same kind
Of food for nine months. Our ra-
tions three times a day for this pc
riod was; Colards, homlny, corn
bread, fried mush and coffee. This
is the food used by the poorer classes
down here and they are the ones who
contract pellagra.
Keowee courier. [volume] (Pickens Court House, S.C.) 1849-current, 1915-11-10
Other Food Denied Them.

we were promised turnips and
cabbage a few times a week when
we made the agreement to face
death by the scOurge, but in July
those who were making the expert
ment decided we were holding our
own to an extent and these vegeta-
bles were eliminated.
Fer the first few months ] felt
only lazy and stupid. Along about
July began to lose weight. At that
time | tipped the scales at 167
pounds. Now | weigh 11S pounds.
After the first three months | never
had a good nights sleep. 1t was
more OF a stupor, accompanied by
unnatural parching Of the skin and
occasional sweats. | finally got so
all | wanted to do was to stretch out
on my bunk and think of milk and
fresh vegetables.
Il thought of the time when | was
child and was eating one Of my mo-
theirs good dinners. My visions were
the past few weeks that / would
hardly move. The constant diet put
before me almost brought on nausea.
My skin became saffron and felt like
it was going to crack. We were told
to play cards and exercise, but did
not have the ambition to do it.
When Governor Brewer pardoned
us yesterday he told us we could re-
main in the penitentiary and be cured
by the balanced diet treatment. One
might think this invitation would be
accepted by some, but not even one
OF the eleven accepted the invitation.
The twelfth broke down two months
ago and was sent home.
I'VE ali just wanted to get away
from the scene of our torture. The
first thing | did was to drink a quart
OF cool milk, and then | filled up on
vegetables and pie.
"Dr. Go)dberger told us how to
cure ourselves, and T am certainly
trying to do it. He said to eat fresh
meat, eggs, milk, peas, beans and
other vegetables, and YOU bet | AM
going to do ass he says. | must go

AS English finished writing his
story on hotel stationery he had to
be assisted to his room. Still he has
gained nearly two pounds since yes
tcrday and is becoming cheerful.

ProEressivcs intend, when the time
comes, to swing back into the Re
publican party, but there is differ
ence Of opinion among them as to
when they should swing. Men like
Douglas Robinson seem TO believe the
present is the time; Perkins and his
followers want to hold out until about
the time of the national convention
and then attempt TO make terms.
Borah's Advice Justified.
The idea seems TO be gaining
ground in Progressive ranks that after
all Senator Borah was right at Chi
three years ago when he coun-
seled against a bolt, and advised the
Progressive Republicans to stay with
the party and gradually build up
strength until in the end they could
dominate. When the Chicago con-
vention was held the two wings Of
the party were seemingly about
equally divided; at least the division
in the convention was nearly equal.
The Taft men had only a slight ma
jority and in the end would have
compromised on any candidate but
Roosevelt.
There is much talk today that the
Tulsa daily world. [volume] (Tulsa, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1905-1919, 1915-08-22

Progressiyes should go back to the
Republican party and unite with the
progressive Republicans who never
bolted, in an effort to rcorganize the
party on progressive lines and with
a progressive, but Republican plat
form.
Above and beyond all else. Pro-
gressives, like Republicans, want to
return to a protective tariff. They
want q return Of prosperity and they
all realize that before this can be
accomplished the Democratic party
must be brought face to face with a
united opposition.

Tho "poor Mani. chance.

Ottumwa Courier: When. the agi-
tation for primary election for the
selecting of political nominees was
on, it's advocates proclaimed that their
plan would give the poor man
chance" We, in common with many
others, supposed they meant that the
primary would make 1t possible for a
poor man to seek office which the ex-
penses of the caucus system were
said to prevent. 1t seems, however,
that we had a wrong INTERROGATION of
the poor mans chance What the
primary really does is to give the poor
man a chance to get some of the
wealthy mans money and put it into
circulation. More money is being
spent under the primary plan than
was ever dreamed of under the pre-
ceding plan.
