HIGHER COST OF LIVING

Blamed for the Increase of Pellagra.
Washington, Oct. 23.-Higher cost
OF living and low wages to workers
are blamed for the increase of pella-
gra in the South in reports by experts
OF the public health service. Special
means will be adopted by the public
health service to see that these re-
ports are we'll circulated in States
where pellagra exists.
Mr.. Joseph Goldberger, who is the
author of one Of the reports, makes
the following recommendations to
diet:
An increase in the diet Of fresh
animal and leguminous foods, particu-
larly during the late winter and in the
spring; the ownership of a milk COW
IN as many families as possible so as
to insure a cOnsiderab BILE consumption
OF milk and milk products in the
nome; poultry and egg production for
nome consumption; cultivation of di-
versified vegetables, including an ade-
quate supply Of peas; reduction Of a
diet of starchy foods
More butcher shops in mill towns
and in country trading places and the
development of the market plan, SO
that a variety Of food may be more
accessible, are urged; while emphasis
is laid on the Importance Of diversif-
cation of crops in order to make less
enerous the economic effects of the
failure Of a single crop.
Increased wages and the reduction
OF unemployment are necessary before
the menace Of the disease can be COM
Dated with a maximum degree Of sue
cess. DR.. Goldberger says. He de-
clares that food in mill towns and in
the country should be cheaper, more
varied and more accessible.

Secretary Garrison broke the silence
he had maintained as to army plans
ever since he received President Will
sons letter directing him to have pre-
pared comprehensive review of the
nations military needs and recon-
mendations for strengthening the ma
tional defense. Mr.. Garrison said:
II am, Of course, delighted. This

With the aid Of Mr.. Hays experience
and skill in formulating the measures

thereof. success in the house is as
sured. I understand that Senator
Chamberlain Of the senate military
committee takes a similar attitude so
that there will be hearty cooperation
all along the line"
Representative Hay said he believed

the proposed increase of the regular
establishment, the organization Of tho

present coast defenses and building up
Of an adequate reserve Of men, sman
arms and ammunition would pass the
