Announcement is made At the
treasury department that as re-
suit OF continued research and ex'

vice. both the cause and the cure OF
pellagra have been discovered. and
that the spread OF Tins dread malady,

charge OF the Public Health service,
expressed great interest in the dis
covery and regards 1t as one OF the
most important achievements OF
medical science in recent years.
Pellagra has been increasing
slarmirsiy throughout the United
States during the last eight years,
and Il Is estimSted that $4,000 cases
OF the disease will have occurred In
the United States in 1915, 'and OF
this number at least 1900 will have
died before the end OF the year. In
many sections only tuberculosis and
pneumonia exceed i as a cause OF
death
The final epoch-makins expert
ment OF the Public Health service
was carried out at the farm OF the
Mississippi state penitentiary about
eight miles east OF Jackson, Miss
and together with the previous work
Of the service completes the chain
in the prevention and cure OF the
disease. The work on the Mississip-
pi farm has been in charge Of Sur
geon Joseph Goldberger and Essist-
ant Surgeon G. A. Wheeler, OF the
United States Public Health service.
The farm consists OF $500 acres,
in the center OF which is the convict
camp. The final experiment was

American Youth Make
Sorry Showing AS Essayists

The Burns club of Detroit offered
prizes to the high school students of this
city some time ago, for the best essay
on Robert Burns. The students respond
ed in large numbers and all the high
schools but the Cass Technical, contrib.
uted. The prizes have just been award
ed and it may be somewhat significant
that the first prize was given, without a
dissenting voice to German, ]. Clarence
Kaufman, of the Northwestern High.
Thr second prize went TO Ezra Litkin
of the Central high, Russian boy who
four years ago could not speak English
and another second prize had to be
found for Christina Cameron, of the
same school.
The third prize went without question
to Helen LETTERS, of the Western high
school. The Rev. Hugh Jack, Edwin
Henderson and Edward Goodwillie were
the judges. Not one Of the four prizes,
it will be observed, was awarded to the
budding native youth (of American par
entage) of this country; youth being used
in the masculine sense.
This may mean nothing and it may
mean much. It is possible that our boys

Every body. indeed. ought to be
able 10 sympathize effectively with
the wrongs and misfortuncs OF
others. But II erybody did thus
sympathize there would be fewer

that raised by the enforced labor
OF children In mills and shops would
have been solved long ago.

question in the affirmative, by all

OFT TIMES
Doctors tO>Engage in
Good Health Campaign

Even the doctors of the city, most con-
sentative of all classes, are beginning 10
| feel the community spirit of which all
these leagues, clubs, societies and asso-
Citations are evidences, and are going 10
foreswear TO a certain extent, their hard
and fast ethics which have always placed
them on an eminence, and step down into
our midst and share with us their mighty
secrets
They are generously going to teach us
in lectures, the way to avoid the physical
and mental pitfalls which are all about
us-a worthy undertaking to which The
Times has been giving considerable space
upon this page from day to day.
They are not going to wait until we are
laid low by some disease, but are going
70 try to prevent such disastrous and
expensive misfortune by placing at our
disposal certain scientific data discovered
by them through years OF painstaking re-
search and experience.
Time was when the doctor stood back
in a sort of holy of holes and the lay
man, in health and in sickness, looked
upon him as a semi-human, almost super
natural being who held within his con-
seriousness the secrets of the human body.
He was not to be questioned and he gave
of his knowledge sparingly.
All that is past. The doctor is coming
out OF his shell and will freely. generous
ly tell the city something of what he
knows, that the people may benefit by
his knowledge.
There are "a lectures planned by the
Detroit College of Medicine and Surgery
and its most prominent men are slated to
appear, each in his particular line.
These lectures will be held in different
places throughout the season, and clubs
and societies may secure one or more by
applying before the schedule is completed.
The people of Detroit should be CRATE
full for this very real manifestations OF
interest in their welfare and give 10 the
College of Medicine and its faculty vote
of thanks.
