OF Arena and Eden appealed TO the
Wisconsin Tax Commission from the
assessment and determination Of the
relative value OF the taxable property
in the several assessment districts OF

other districts OF said county formally
appearing in opposition thereto, al

WHEREAS. on careful consideration
Of the evidence offered and produced al
said hearing and an examination Of the
records and files in the office of the
tax commission relating to the value
Of the taxable property in each OF the
assessment districts OF Iowa County, ii
satisfactorily appeared that the towns
OF Arena and Eden and other assess
ment districts Of said county were as
sessed relatively too high by said county
board and were consequently charged
with and compelled to pay more than
their true proportion Of state and
county taxes for the year 1913. and that
certain other districts in said county
were assessed relatively too low by
said county board and were consequently
charged with and required to pay less
than their true proportion of state and
county taxes, and;
WHEREAS. under the circumstances
stated IL appeared to the satisfaction OF
the tax commission that such inequality
should be corrected. on or about the
Goth day OF July, 1914, said tax COM
mission determined that the appeal of
the towns OF Arena and Eden from the
equalization made by the county board
Of Iowa County for the year 1918 should
be entertained and that the review of
said equalization should extend TO and
include all TIL. taxable property in the

RETAIL TRADE AND
COMMUNITY PROGRESS

"Buy at home" is an admoni-
ton frequently seen in the col
umns of the local newspapers
throughout the country, and there
is always good reason to be CIV
en-, why the buyer should act up
on it; but the following from the
Gainesville Sun is about the plain
est, best summing up of the whole
matter that we have ever seen. We
commend it to the attention Of ev-
cry community in Florida, who
has the welfare of his home town
at heart and who is willing to sac
rifice the chance of saving few
cents (Which is seldom the case)
for the satisfaction of knowing
that in supplying his own wants
he is contributing to the growth

The Itinerant Beggar Nuisance

The Sanford Herald says; "The
city officials will hereafter put all
Migrants to work as soon as they
hit Sanford, and eve want this
report spread broadcast in order
to head off the gentlemen who
might find it not to their taste to
work while here, except in "a way
that doesn't help along" The
Times Union, in commenting on
this, says:
"The Herald is taking the pro-
per step to prevent the usual, an.
nual visit of professional hoboes,
who move southwark with the first
chill winter winds, and expect to
live at ease in the mild climate of
Florida-upon the fruit of other
peope's labors. 1t would be well
if every Florida town and city a.
dopted a like policy, and they
could add an efficiency test to
some of the many halt, lame and
blind who come this way. The
majority Of these professional beg
gars are as bad or worse than the
regular tramps, who make no pre-
tense or special appeal. The
lame beggar, who infests the
streets in winter, can usually un-
wrap his carefully twisted legs
and skip away at a lively pace
when he decides that he has add
led enough to his r"ll for the day. =

THE SITUATION IN CENTRAL
MACEDONIA is UNCERTAIN

Isible in the home town, our mer-
chants would increase their busi-
mess and pay more taxes. This
would make possible public i'm
Iprovements and a lower tax rate
or both.
If we all got the Buy away
from home fever, some of our
merchants would have to quit,
while others would have to re-
duce their stocks and turn off part
of their help. Many houses would
be vacant. Taxable property
would fall off and strict munich
lpal economy would be necessary,
1t would hurt every public serv-
ice supported out of taxes.
When you send money out of
town you help pay taxes and Sc
cure public improvements some
where else. Better keep it at
home to get our, own public inn
'provements with it. Sending mon
icy away is killing the goose that
lays the golden egg. While we
are reaching out for pennies we
think we are saving, we are sub
|tracting the dollars that build up
home prosperity, and on which our
public well being depends.
The success of retail trade is es-
sential to the town 8 advancement
i'm all lines of progress. II the
merchants and their employees are
doing well, they contribute freely
to churches, lodges, charities and
all our philanthropies. Taking
money away from the home trade
currents is taking it away from all
these interests, so vital to the ad-
vancement of the town.-Bartow

South Florida Fair

Officers and directors of the
South Florida Fair, to be held in
Tampa on February 4th to 18th
arc planning to establish a de.
partment that will be devoted to
the development Of industrial and
other projects in which the parti-
.cipating counties are interested
and aid will be given to every
worthy effort to develop the sec.
ton or any part thereof. Details
of the plan will be made public
later.
Among the principal conven-
tions to be held in Tampa during
the fair is that of Florida cattle
men, to which the largest meat
packers of the country will be in
vited. Concerted efforts will be
made to develop the industry, and
experts of the National Depart
ment of Agriculture will come to
Florida to give lectures and ad-
wise cattlemen and prospective
breeders on subjects of impro-
tance.-Florida Grower.

Do people who buy goods away

A very large share of the taxes
Of any community is paid by the
retail merchants or their employ
es. Many of the employees may
pay no direct taxes, but they rent
houses on which taxes are paid. If
the home stores don't employ
these people, the houses would
stand empty, or more likely would
never have been built.

point to buy goods whenever pos

REPORTS SEEM TO CONFLICT
BuIgarians Have Begun New Often
sive Against Serbiaus and
their Allies

London%, England The exact
situation in central Macedonia is
uncertain. Dispatches from the
near east are conflicting and
doubt as to the time of events to
which they refer injects an addi-
tional element Of uncertainty. 1T
is clear, however, that the Bull
garians have been reinforced and
have begun new offensive.
These operations, according to
Rome accounts, present a most
powerful menace to the armies OF
Serbia and her allies which are
operating from Tetovo through
Perlepe ON the southeastern Ser
Ibian frontier. Telegrams receiv-
ed almost simultaneously from
Greece announce that Tetovo is in
the hands of both the Serbians and
Bulgarians, but the preponder-
ance of evidence points to Bull
garian occupation.
The Bulgarians are making des-
Iperate efforts to force their way
through Katchanik pass in the di-
rection of Pristina. They are al
so attempting to advance from Te-
tovo to Perlepe and Monastir and
/ by forceing Babuna pass, to reach
Perlepe from the other side. These
Operations are said to have plac-
ed Monastir in dangr again.
1t is a problem whether the
newly arrived French and British
forces are large enough to meet
this Bulgarian onslaught, which
apparently has begun with extra
ordinary vigor.
What Greece Will do III event
the allied troops are forced back
over the Greek border still is a
matter of speculation. A message
from Greece says the government
will extend to the Serbians the
same privileges as those accorded
to the French and British in case
of their encroachment on Greek
territory, but in view Of the fact
that no definite announcement has
been. made as to what these privil-
eges will be, the intentions of
Greece remain obscure.
On the Gallician front the Rus
slams, although admitting they
have yielded some ground in the
of the Styr forts,
do not concede they have been
forced back across the river, as is
claimed in the official German
communication of Monday.
Further details of this fighting
will be necessary to determine
whether the Russians have lost
the town Of Czartorysk and whe-
ther Russian control Of the Kovel-
Sarny railway is thereby endan-
gered.

announcement was maze al the
United States Treasury Depart
ment Nov 18th that as a result OF
continued research and expert
ments of the Public Health Serv-
ice, both the cause and the cure OF
pellagra have been discovered,
and that the spread of this dread
malady, which has been increasing
in the United States at a terrific
rate during the past few years,
may now be checked and eventu-
ally eradicated. Assistant Secre-
tary Newton, in charge of the
Public Health Service, expressed
great interest in the discovery
and regards it as one Of the most
important achievements of medi-
cal science in recent years.
! Pellagra has been increasing a.
larmingly throughout the United
States during the last eight years,
and it is estimated that $4,000
cases of the disease will have oc-
eurred in the United States in
1915, and Of this number at least
$500 will have died before the
end Of the year. In many sections
only tuberculosis and pneumonia
exceed it as cause Of death.
The final epoch-making expert
ment of the Public Health Service
was carried out at the farm of the
Mississippi State Penitentiary a.
bout eight miles east of Jackson,
Miss, and together with the pre-
vious work of the Service COM
pletes the chain in the prevention
and cure of the disease. The work
at the Mississippi Farm has been
in charge of Surgeon Joseph Gold
burg and Assistant Surgeon G. A.
Wheeler of the United States Pub
lie Health Service. The farm
consists of 5000 acres in the CEN
ter of which is the convict camp.
The final experiment was under
taken for the purpose of testing
the possibility Of producing pella-
gra in healthy human white adult
males by a restricted, one-sided
mainly carbohydrate (cereal)
diet. Of eleven convicts who vol
unteered for this experiment, six
developed a typical dermatitis and
mild nervous gastro-intestinal
symptoms.
Experts, including DR.. L. III.
Galloway, the Secretary of the
Mississippi State Board of Health,
DR.. Nolan Stewart, formerly Sup
erintendent of the Mississippi
State Hospital for the Insane at

fessor of Dermatology, Medical

CAUSE AND CURE OF PELLAGRA
Gratifying Results of Experiments Made at the Mississippi State
Penitentary Under the Direction of the United
Public Health Service

these experiments no history could
be found of the occurrence of
pellagra on the penitentiary farm.
On this farm are rs or so convicts.
Governor Earl Brewer offered to
pardon twelve of the convicts who
would volunteer for the expert
ment. They were assured that
they would receive proper care
throughout the experiment, and
treatment should it be necessary.
The diet given was bountiful and
more than sufficient to sustain life.
1t differed from that given the
other convicts merely in the alb
sence of meats, milk, eggs, beans,
peas, and similar proteid foods.
In every other particular the con-
victs selected for the experiment
were treated exactly as were the
remaining convicts. They had the
same routine work and discipline,
the same periods of recreation and
the same water to drink. Their
quarters were better than those of
the other convicts. The diet CIV
en- them consisted of biscuits,
fried Nmush, grits and brown gra-
Wy, syrup, corn bread, cabbage,
sweet potatoes, rice, collards and
coffee with sugar. All compon-
ents of the dietary were of the
best quality and were properly
cooked. AS preliminary, and to
determine if the convicts were af-
flicted with any other disease, they
were kept under observation from
February 4th to April 9th, two
and half months, on which date
the one sided diet was begun.
Although the occurrence of ner-
vous symptoms and gastro-intes-
tinal disturbances was noted ear
ly, it was not until September 18th
or about five months after the be-
ginning of the restricted diet, that
the skin symptoms SO characteris-
tic Of pellagra began to develop.
These symptoms are considered as
typical, every precaution being
taken to make sure that they were
not caused by any other disease.
The convicts upon whom the ex-
pertinent was being made, as well
as twenty other convicts who
were selected as controls, were
kept under continuous medical
surveillance, NO eases OF pella-
gra developed in camp excepting
among those men who were on the
restricted diet. The experiment
ters have therefore drawn the con-
clusion that pellagra has been
caused in at least six Of the elev-
en- volunteers as a result of the
one sided diet on which they sub
sisted.
On the basis of this discovery,
the states of Mississippi, Louisi-
ana and Florida have laid their
propaganda through their respec-
tive boards of health for the erad-
icatiOn of the disease.
