streets in that city. Hence 10 milk
carts on an average went through
each street. The time of nine Of
those milk teams was largely wasted.
The consumer paid the needless cost
Similarly the teams and motor cars
that collected the milk from the
outlying country were running ever
the same ground.
An even more remarkable case is
reported from town OF 60O0 peo-
pie TO provide which with milk 50
different carts traverse the same
streets day by day.
In the city first referred to the
milk consumers We're paying eight TO
nine cents per quart. Yet the farm
ers got but four cents. Some OF
them at a distance get but two ana
half TO three cents.
Although the consumer is already
paying q high price for milk, yet in
many places farmers are quitting the
dairy business, because of low re
turns. and milk famines seem likely.
II may yet prove necessary to jack
up the consumer another cent or two.
An endless number OF similar in
stances could be given, showing the
ineffciency OF present methods OF
getting food from the farm to the
town.

Hon ]. Il. Smithwick, of Pensa-
cola, is q candidate for congress from
the Third district. While it had been
known for some months that Mr..
Smithwick was candidate for the
high Office it was not until recently
that he authorized the formal an
nouncement of his candidacy. At the
proper time he will issue q statement
setting forth clearly exactly where
he stands on every question now be-
fore the people, as well as some
which he desires to place before them.
In other words Mr.. Smithwick intends
injecting some issues into the cam
paign, believing that the public
should know where man stands be-
fore being asked to support him for
such an important Office.
The Pensacolian intends futher-
more to make vigorous campaign.
When the proper time arrives he will
get out in the district and intends
making one of the most thorough
campaigns that has ever been made
by q candidate for congress. Mr..
Smithwick has a large number Of
friends, not alone in Pensacola, but
in every county of the district and
they are supporting him for the i'm
portant office.--St. Andrews Bay

DISREGARDING THE RIGHTS
OF THE PEOPLE, THE CAUSE
~>>>>>~>4>~A~>~

Editor Pensacola Journal.
In Thursdays Journal your corre-
spondent, R. C. v. Smith, asks: 'Why
cannot Pensacola have the things that
she needs 2" meaning public docks, a
belt line railway, factories, etc.
Mr.. Smith cannot understand why
the "best thing in Pensacola" the
spirit of the Pensacolian," proves in
effectual when it comes to practical
results. True, the best business men
of the city are working, conscien-
tiously, through the Commercial Club,
the Rotary Club and other organiza-
tons, for the best good Of their home
town, but still as the writer says,
Pensacola is just what it is. The
term 'brainy writer's" may not ap-
ply to all taxpayers, but everyone
who helps, ever so little, to support a
city, has the welfare of that city at
heart, and has right to express
his or her opinion.
The trouble in Pensacola is, only
in lesser degree, the same that con-
fronted Rome before its fall, and
France before the revolution. It lost
England her colonies in 1776. That
is, q disregard for the rights of the
people, desire ON the part of . few
to sacrifice the public good for per.
sonal profit. What is needed in Pen.
sacola is outside capital, and outside
capital is very shy of q city with tho
reputation that Pensacola has built

Nothing could better demonstrate
the value Of advertising than the
wonderful success Of The Journals
eooling school, which has been con-
Quoted for the past weak BY Mrs.
Betty Lyiss Wilson, of Nashville,
Tenn.
Each day during this demonstra-
lion The Journal has carried double
page display story hanlred By adyer-
tising Of tho products which were dis
played IA the various boothg 1t the
demonstration which always followed
and preceded Mrs. Wilson's lectures.
And Il Il safe to say that this story
and these advertisements were read
BY every woman in Pensacola.
That they found them both valuable
and interesting was evidenced by the
crowds who hocked to the cooking
school evszx afternoon. Women went

Pellagra Can Now be
Cured and Prevented.

Announcement was made at the
treasury department recently as = re-
sult d continued research and ex-
perimsnts Of the public health serv-
ice, both the cause and the cure Of
pellagra have been discovered, and
that the spread Of this dread malsdy,
which has been increasing il the IN
tied States at a terrific rate during
the past few years, may now be
checked and eventually eradicated.
Pellagra has been increasing alarm
ingly throughout the United States
during the last eight years, and it is
estimated that $4,000 cases Of the
disease viii have occurred in the
United States in 1916, and Of this
number at least $500 viii have died
before the end Of the year. In many
sections only tuberculosis and pneu-
monia exceed it as cause Of death.
The final epoch-making experiment
Of the public health service was car
ried out at the farm Of the Mississippi
state penitentiary about eight miles
east Of Jackson, Miss, and together
with the previous work Of the serv-
ice completes the chain in the pre-
vsntion and cure Of the disease. The
work 1t the Mississippi farm has Been
in charge Of Surgeon Joseph Gold
berger and Assistant Surgeon G. A
Wheeler, Of the United States Public
Health Service. The farm consists Of
$500 acres in the center Of which ID
the convict camp. The final expert
ment was undertaken for the purpose
Of testing the possibility Of producing
pellagra in healthy human white
adult males by . restricted. one-sided
mainly carbohydrate (cereal) diet
Of eleven convicts who volunteered
for this experiment, six developed ,
typical dermatitis and mild nervouI
gastro-intestinal symptoms.

From the Manchester Guardian
(Eng.) we learn that a wounded of,
ficer wrote that day before great
attack curious thing happened.
Yes; very curious indeed. In fact,
one of the most curious incidents of
the war. And, we might add, one of
the most thought-provoking. The Of
ficer's story has it that a board was
hoisted In the German trenches bear
ing the inscription:
1.-THE English are FOOLS"
At first, according to the officer, it
was thought that the Germans were
striving merely to aannoy" the Tom
mics, so no attention was paid to the
board. A few minutes later, the
board reappeared again with this in
scription:
1.-THE French are Fools"
This, like the first, was ignored.
Then, as q climax, came q third line:
1--WE are FOOLS"
Every soldier was Immediately In
terested. The board then carried q
final inscription:
ssWhy not all go home?"
There are some thinking soldiers in
Europe. That, it seems, to US, is ap-
parent. They are fighting because
they are forced to obey the commands
Of their tyrannical rulers, but the
beginnings Of intelligent revolt seem
to be finding places in which to grow
Some day, the soldiers will come t.
the point where they will see the fol
ly of war. The absurdity of it al
will drive them to an appreciation Of
their fellow man, even though The
other fellow may come from another
country. And when that conscious
ness becomes general, the rulers vii
be left to do the lighting, while thu
soldiers viii gracefully retire to tn.

God speed the day! It may be il
the distant future, but let us not fai
to spread the message that may brinf
it nearer. There Is great work to b
done. Bringing order out of thi
terrible chaos Is no task for addle
pates.

IA the Washington Medical School, st.
Louis, Mo-, declare that the disease
which was produced was true pella-
era.
Prior to the commencement of
these experiments no history could be
found Of the occurrence of pellagra
on the penitentiary farm. On this
farm are Is or so convicts. Governor
Earl Brewer offered to pardon twelve
Of the convicts who would volunteer
for the experiment. They were as
sured that they would receive proper
care throughout the experiment, anc
treatment should it be necessary. The
diet given was bountiful and more
than sufficient to sustain life: It diff
fered from that given the other con-
victs merely in the absence of meats,
milk, eggs, beans, peas, and similar
proteid foods. In every other particu-
lar the convicts selected for the ex-
pertinent were treated exactly as
were the remaining convicts. They
had the same routine work and dis
cipline, the same periods Of recrea-
tion and the same water to drink
Their quarters were better than those
Of the other convicts. The diet giver
them consisted of biscuits, fried mush
grits and brown gravy, syrup, corr
bread. cabbage, sweet potatoes, rice
collards and coffee with sugar. AL
coinponents Of the dietary were of thu
best quality and were properly cook
ed. As preliminary, and to determ
