 HERE YESTERDAY Looking After Measures for Construction Work at
 Dauphin Island

J. M. Dewberry, head of the Tide water Securities corporation, was here yesterday looking after the increase in capital stock and other measures for some immediate construction work in connection with the development of on the bay opposite Dauphin Island.
 The capital stock has been increased to $150,000 and certain bonds have been sold for the construction of about four miles of railroad track to reach point on the boy opposite Dauphin Island.
 "Our first plans contemplate the fin : ishing of this line," said MT. Dewber- ry That will put us in position to get to and from the island for the present by ferry.
 Next we will take up the matter of suitable resort hotel and after that the really big project toward which we are looking-coal loading cocks where Alabama coal can be sup piled t6 the largest ocean going ves- sels.'

Physicians Agree That Pellagra
 Is Caused By An Unbalanced Diet
By A. G. SULLIVAN

Cordova, November 22.-(Special. l--That an unbalanced diet has been fully and scientifically demonstrated to be the cause of pellagra and that the dis ease has been cured in hundreds of peas, beans, lean meat, milk and eggs, is the unqualified statement of pr. Carl A. Grote, Walker countys health ex- pert, who was recently in Cordova.
 pr. Grote attended the national pellagra convention at Columbia, s. C., at which delegates were present from nearly all parts of the world. and is an enthusiastic supporter of Dr. Gold berger, who, few days ago, made pub lie the results of his experiments with the Mississippi convicts, where he TO- duced pellagra in marked form among convicts and has them now on the road to recovery. In an interview Dr. Grotc stated that some objections had been made to the diet theory, such as its comparatively recent appearance in this country; that human nature was about the same and that people must have lived on unbalanced diet before.
 In answer to this Dr. Grote stated that while human nature may be the same, conditions are certainly far from tne same, ana especially III thoSe sections where pel1agra is most preva- lent. He pointed out that farmers used to have the meat of venisen, wild tur keys and other foods laid by in store for the winter, and when their bread gave out many of them lived on dried turkey breast and that conditions had changed so that many farms are with out cows or chickens, and the poorer people live on corn bread, molasses and white" meat most of the time. It is amongst this class of farmers where pellagra is most prevalent.
 To the objection that some rich peo- pie had pe1lagra and others of higher station in life, although these cases were rare, the doctor stated that upon investigations these cases would be found to be people with either ab7 normal appetites or some form of dys- pepsia For instance, he said that

very large scale. It is this newly devel- oped feature of the industry which is pre- sumed to justify the negotiations now in progress which are reported to have for their purpose unifcation, the elimination of some costs and greater efficiency and capacity to meet the demands of the mar kets of the world, whatever those markets may demand.
 It has been commonly said in the f1nan- cial district for the past four or five months that the copper industry of the United States may justly be ranged sec ond only to the steel industry, and it may be that in the future 1t may attain equal rank If that be so. then that part of the west which did not feel at first the business stimulus that the European war caused in the east must at last perceive these impulses and be affected by them. There is a marvellous situation in the steel industry illustrated by the fact that one of the independent companies has recently received within a few weeks as many or ders as it obtained during the whole of the year 1914. And there are good reasons for surmising that a record somewhat similar to this may. before the year 1915 is ended. be reported from some of the copper industries.

congressman had it at one time and 1t was found that he did not care for such things as milk, eggs, peas, beans and lean meat and had an abnormal appetite for other things. Another case specifically stated was that of a preachers wife. who upon investiga- tion was found to have had an ab- normal appetite for corn flakes and ate scarcely anything else. She said she couldn't stand peas, beans, milk but ter nor eggs and only occasionally ate any lean meat. Her husband ate such things and did not have pellagra To bring matters closer home Dr. Grote told of a family here in Walker coun- ty, family of seven. Five members of the family had bad cases of pe1- lagra. One of them died two days after the cases were taken under ob servation. The other four were cured It was found that for breakfast the family melted lard and adding some flour made brown gravy which, with corn bread and syrup made their break . fast At dinner they had white" meat (not lean meat). cornbread, more brown gravy and syrup and the bill of fare for supper was a sort of combina- tion of that used at breakfast and din ner They had no COW or chickens The neighbors all said pellagra was contagious because five members of the tamlly haQ II. OccdSiona1Iy the Dill of fare varied a little but not often. Dr. Grote gave from his own pocket money which bought the peas and Leans : neighbors gave them milk and eggs daily while a friend furnished the lean meat. About a month ago those who were furnishing the larger portion of the diet discontinued Since that they were all well, but it was found just this week that one member of the family has symptoms of the re- turn of the disease, having gone back to the old diet.
 'eItaly has had pellagra for 200 years" said Dr. Grote, ''but it has mostly been among the peasants Yet Italy's robust army of one million men, including vast numbers of peasants, has no case of pellagra. The reason is ob- vious. The government gives a well balanced diet"

COPPER INDUSTRY | OF WEST ATTRACTS MUCH ATTENTION Will be One of Greatest Con- tributing Factors to the
 Nations Wealth RIVAL FOR STEEL
 IN RAPID GROWTH Manufactories Have Been Opened Close to Raw Material Which

 petus to West
By HOLLAND

New York, November 22.-(Special. Negotiations which were under way last week in New York in which some of the leading authorities in the copper industry were engaged naturally enough caus d at first some excitement or interest in the securities market But those who have some knowledge of this industry and who are able to forecast, as they think, it's relation to our prosperity, present and future, look upon the speculative market excite ments as matters of small consequence.
 For, apparently, the copper industries in the far west, or the leaders in some of those copper industries, are prepar- ing for greater efficiency, greater econ omy, more compact and thorough or ganization. When all that is now in mind has been accomplished, this i'm dustry, as well as kindred ones in the far west, will be of influence, moment ous, in fact, in maintaining and stimu- lating our national prosperity. That is the view some are now taking.
 Throughout the summer and early fall reports came to this city which intimated that in the west which is be- yond the Missouri river, and especially that part of it which is upon the east ern and western slopes of the Rock y mountains, business conditions did not seem to reflect the business stimulus which had been occasioned in the east by war orders Some who were of au- thority reported that one of the best tests of the revival of prosperity in the far west would be renewed operations in real estate, this business having been somewhat stagnant.
 Yet men who are in charge of banks in New York have been persuaded that the copper industry of the far west would inevitably be so expanded, partly by reason of demand for copper from those who are making war munitions and partly because domestic demand is sure to increase, as favorably to stimulate business conditions.
 By and by, the far west is to have an important share in maintaining and increasing the business and industrial prosperity of which we have had so many evidences in that part of the country east of the Mississippi.
 In a statement made several years ago by Dr. James Douglas at San Francisco meeting of the American In stitute of Mining Engineers, he said trat the coal mining industry of the far west, if it's comparatively speaking small population is borne in mind, is even more active than coal mining in the Alleghanies. In fact, the western coal areas, almost all of which are of recent opening, were contributing somewhat in excess of 15,000,000 tons, or 1c per cent of the country's total production.

JACKSON, MISS.
GROWN IN MISSISSIPPI DINNERS TO
 DE SERVED ON THANKSGIVING


 Jackson, Miss, November 22-(Special) It is expected that every agricultural high school and hundreds of other schools of the state will serve grown in Mississippi" dinners next Thursday, just as they did last year, and when rivalry was keen. Mississppians did not know until then that they could grow and make so very many things good to in their gardens and on their farms, or catch and kill so many varieties Of wild meat in their woods The only ob- jection ever heard in connection with these grown in Mississippi dinners was that everybody ate too much. According to the weekly press there has been more fall blowing done this year than ever before in the history of the state, and a greater acreage has been planted to oats wheat, clover, vctch, rape, etc. There have been good rains recently and all such crops are up and growing nicely so that they will furnish fine grazing during the winter months.
 There is strong and growing senti- ment that the farmer who does not produce an abundance of feed for both man ard beast is unworthy the name of farmer. and all such are now dubbed "hay seeds" to distinguish them from the real, sure-enough farmers. They have not reached that point where cot ton is treated as surplus crop, and perhaps never will on the majority of farms but cotton is no longer the only crop on any Mississippi farm, and 1t is hoped never will be again.
 The pecan crop is reported everywhere over this section to be one of the largest in years, and the nuts are being sold as low as 10 cents per pound for the or dinsry hard shell varieties. However, the better nuts, coming from grafted, cultivated trees and known as paper shell. are bringing from 20 to 40 cents per pound.

COAL AND PROSPERITY

If reports which have been received from the Rocky mountain states are to be relNd upon, the coal mining industry in all of these states is beginning to feel the stimulus represented by new business demands. That is understood to be due in part to the fact that cop Der production is increasing and pre- sumably may increase for long time until the supply is equal to the demand. This means great deal to the railroad companies. For instance, Montana alone is furnishing the railroads with considerably more than 3,0OO,0O0 tons of ore for transportation, some of 1t long-haul freight and some of it short haul. Arizona is also furnishing con- siderably more than 50O,00O tons or lung-haul freight. The magnificent copper properties of Utah, one copper mine alone delivering 27,000 tons day, must contribute greatly to the earnings of the railroad companies. And the public already realizes, per haps not yet fully, what an important bearing the railroad earnings have toward general prosperity.
 A NEW DEVELOPMENT
 Presumably, the negotiations which have been in progress in New York among some of the leaders in the copper industry really reflect the great change which has taken place. since 1900 in that industry in the far west. For it is only within tne past 15 or 20 years that science, capital and ability have put an end to the unrea- sonable features of the American copper industry. As recently as the first admin istration of President Mckinley, the cop per obtained from the western mines was shipped to the east and Europe, where 1t was manufactured into various forms and sold in the far east as India sheets. The miners of the west, as well as the men of science associated with them, realized that the abundance of coal and the facilities which the expanded railroad systems have made possible ought to. and in fact would, make these western miners manufacturers as we'll as producers of copper ore.
 Those who are familiar with the subject say that there probably has been no greater transformation in American indus try than that which the recent history of the copper industry of the west re- cords. The copper miners of the west have become manufacturers and upon a
