STARCH CAUSES PELLAGRA.
DOCTORS THEORY FOUND TO
BE CORRECT.
Disease ) Not Contagious but Due
Entirely to Wrong Dict-Rcturn to
smOkchouse Meat Age Urged.

Savannah, Ga, July 21.-In a
statement given to the press here to-
day DIR. Joseph Goldberger of Wash
lngton, head of the department for
pellagra research of the United States
public health service, in announcing
his conclusions about the malady and
it's cause, said:
After experiments conducted at
the Georgia State sanitarium at Mil
ledgeVllle and in similar institution
at jackson, Miss, we have come to
the definite conclusion that our
theory, made public last year, that
pellagra is the result Of eating too
regularly too much starchy food, is
correct. Patients in these two insti-
tutlons Kept upon a proper diet have
failed this year to develop symptoms
Of the disease.
we also know that pellagra is not
contagious. There is not the slightest
danger of catching the isease by
contaglon with one who has it. Pei
lagra, we have found, is more prev
alent' in the South than in the North,
although there is just as much q Dos
sibility of the reverse, except for the
fact that people in the North eat a
great deal more meat and other non-
starchy foods than do people in the
South. What we need more than
anything else is to return to the old
smokehouse meat age
