extent upon the lines of the famous

DR.. Oscar Bowling, secretary of

satisfactory, and not what it should
be to make the lumber industry a
paving proposition.
The Committee also made men
ton of the fact that the railroads
are in reality the most prosperous
industry in the south, which is, in
part accounted for by the fact that
they are permitted to agree upon
and maintain a uniform basis of
rates throughout periods of depres-
sion whereas all other industries,
such as cotton and lumber indus
tries, not only suffer a falling off
in volume of business, but by such
advances as the one now proposed
would be almost entirely shut out
Of the very best lumber consuming
territory which the mills in the
south. located east of the Miss,
River. have at their command
1t was also pointed out to the
Suspension Board that a further
advance in lumber rates, at this
time, would result in a greater
wastase of timber, than is at present
necessary, to bring out of the forest
a product of sufficient value to pay
the costs of transportation. which
necessarily would have to come out
of the manufactures in every
instance. stock is sold strictly on a
delivered basis in competition with
lumber from other sections of the
country For this reason the lumber
manufacturers of the south will be
Obliged to absorb the additional
freight charges, which would work
a great hardship upon them,
LII is Interesting to know that
word has today been received from
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion that the suspension has been
GRANTED effective until March Both,
1916. thus giving the Yellow Pine
manufactures the desired opportun-
ity to formally and vigorously
oppose the proposed advances
which 50 seriously menaces this
important industry of this section.

DR.. Goldberger repeated most
emphatically, that Pellaera was not
a catching disease and that it was
contracted from continually eating
the same and poor foods, and he
reiterated that the cure for pellagra
was in being placed on diet, such
as he had recommended months
ago.
DR.. Goldberger stated that after
some persons had been apparently
cured from the disease that they
returned to the old diet and later
developed pellasra. He stated that
while the patients we're in the
hospital suffering with the disease
that they should be given education

upon the patient that the importance
of a proper diet could not be over.

Dr.. Goldberg stated that to his
knowledge Bosalusa was the only
city in the United States where
a Pellagra Hospital was established
and he praised the Great Southern
Lumber Co., for their good work and
also for admitting anyone with the
Pellaera to become a patient in the
hospital He stated that the hospit.
al was we'll equipped. that it was
attractive and exceedingly clean.
At the hospital he visited the 16t
patients and reported that all were
showing an improvement The cure
being used in the hospital is that as
outlined by him few months ago.
DR.. GoIdbereer stated that people
were in error when they stated that
PeIlagra was found only in the
South as cases have been reported

Dear Sir:
The question regarding pellagra
about which people are most con-
cerned is, whether it is catching
disease or not. | would like to
state for your information and for
the Information of the people of
Bogalusa that the investigations Of
the United States Public Health
Service have led to the definite
conclusion that pellagra is not
communicable or catching disease:
that pellagra is brought about by
the consumption of an improper,
mainly starchy diet, a diet in which
there has not been included enough
of certain other classes of foods:
namely, such foods as eggs, fresh
milk, fresh meat and fresh or dried
beans or pease
The investigations carried on by
the United States Public Health
Service have conclusively shown
that persons who have this disease
can be made entirely well by eating
an abundance of these latter classes
of foods; namely, fresh eggs, fresh
milk, fresh meat and fresh or
dried beans or pease, and that the
disease can be completely prevent.
ed by eating a diet in which these
foods are included in sufficient
amount.
1t would be a great help to the
people in your community and to
the public health in general if the
above facts could be gotten to them
Respectfully,
Sgd Joseph Goldberger,
Surgeon in Charge Of Pellagra
investigations.
