is being made for these l6 factories,
or has been requisitioned from private
manufacturers. There are two ad-
Nantages which the government au-
thorities claim for the factories owned
and operated by the state. Shells are
produced more Cheaply, since there is
no question Of prft, and there is no
labor trouble, because the men know
that their employers are not driving
them to the limit for the purpose Of
making fat dividends
In some of the private armament
works it is an open secret there has
been serious trouble. This is because,
under the new munitions law, the or
dInary rights of the labOrcr are taken
away from him. He cannot strike for
more wages and he must work over
time when ordered The law also
limits the profits Of the employer.
The law, however only applies to
"controlIed' establishments i'm which
the profits of the owners have been
limited, any excess to be taken over
by the government, and very few
such factories are vet "cOntrolled"
because 1t has not been found easy
to work out a satisfactory scheme
for figuring exactly just what the
employers profits really are, a most
complex undertaking. In spite of the
tact that their profits are not yet linn
tied by law, most war work employers
have assumed that their employees
must give up their ordinary work
hours and the right to negotiate for
their wages with the threat Of a strike
is constantly in the background This
the men resent, and more rows have
taken place than the newspapers
have considered patriotic to report.
Lloyd George found, when he set
out to reorganiZe the war order de-
partment Of the war office. serious
shortage in facilities for making ma
chlnery to turn out shells. Accord
ingly he called a meeting of all the
makers of the this kind Of machinery
in the country, and put them under
government control Although this
meant taking the direction of their
own business away from them and
limiting their profits as well, not a
man protested They are all now
working day and night at top speed,
for the work Of turning out the lathes
and other tools that make shells is
even more urgent than the making Of
shells from the insufficient number of
tools now at hand.
There is no data at hand to esti-
mate the amount of increase in she'll
and gun production Lloyd Georges
methods have already brought about,

mercial Club secretaryship and own

plausible I wish to say, however,
that patriotism is essential to success

that you will agree that should a
French officer be offered a handsome
salary to fieht for Mexico, or Next
can officer for France that his patriot
ism-if it could be called such-would
last only as long as the handsome sal
airy would last, whereas, patriotism
would inspire either of these officers
to be inspired by mere money. This
would be the proper side of the situa-
ton to view before hiring an alien to
handle the affairs of an organization
which was promulgated for the pro-
motion of business in Hattiesburg. A
man who has not lived in a town can
not hold the same loyal attitude, the
same civic pride that a resident would
have.
Why should we send to Kalamazoo,
Mich, or Pensacola, Fla. for a man
who probably never before heard that
Hattiesburg existed, when we have
young men in this city who are thor
oughly qualified in business as well
as being capable of boosting and at
the same time who would have Hat
tiesburg's interests fully at heart?
Should we take the cast-away assist
ant of some larger citys secretary
when we have men of the best bust
ness qualifications right here at home?
Undoubtedly we could not secure the
services of an experienced civic man
for $4,000 per month. yea, I doubt if
he could be secured for $4,000, while
there are good business men here

PELLAGRA
The Cause, Where 1t Came From, and How Ira
Written for The News by Dr. R. B. Stapleton

Pellagra, like yellow fever, bubonic
plague, asiatic cholera, typhus fever,
etc, is not an American product.
There were no conditions existing
here up to eight or ten years ago,
when pellagra first made its advent
into this country capable of producing
| this terrible disease. We have the
same climatic conditions as we have
always had. The poorer class of peo-
pie among whom it largely prevails,
are subsisting upon the same general
diet upon which they subsisted years
and years ago. The same menu en-
| joyed and depended upon for susie
nance was the menu of their fathers,
grandfathers and great-grandfathers
probably better prepared now than
| then. The point | am driving at, is
to show the absurdity of the claim or
theory advanced by DR.. Goldberger of
the United States Public Health Ser
vice and accepted by many eminent
physicians, that pellagra is due to
faulty diet or to the lack of a well
balanced ration.
At the time pellagra first appeared,
this section of country was enjoying
period of greater prosperity than
ever before and all classes of people
had employment at remunerative
wages and all were in condition to OBJ
tain food in abundance. By what
process of reasoning then is it posi-
bic to arrive at the conclusion that
it is due to dietary conditions? l
frankly admit that the lack Of a gen
erously mixed diet or sufficient
amount of wholesome food, the resist
ance of the systems of these victims
may be reduced to the point where
pyrogenic germs may get in their
work and establish the disease.
also admit that a well-mixed and
wholesome diet is a strong factor in
the successful treatment of it. Like
that of tuberculosis for which we have
no specific remedy, we must build up
and maintain the vital forces, and in
this way aid in resisting and throwing
off the toxins and guide the patients
to a safe termination.
l can not imagine a greater calamity
than to have the profession together
with the laity to accept the above find
ings or conclusions as being the only
or true cause of pellagra, should the
acceptance of such bring with it, as
it no doubt would, a spirit of apathy
such as would destroy or discourage
research work in endeavoring to deter
mine the true cause
The corn products, or that of spoiled
corn theory, I believe has been aban-
doned. Also that of Sinborn of the
simulium or sanity as the transmitter.
In my opinion. none of us know what
it is, nor by what means it is trans
mitted. Nor will we know until the
germ shall have been isolated and the
transmitter determined.
In my humble opinion, and think |
have as good a right to it as any one
has to his, pellagra is an imported
from some country in Europe where
it has existed for two or three cen
turtles These people from Italy and
Syria seem to be immune. l have |

| never seen a case of it here among
these people. However l am firmly
of the opinion that there exists in
them the germ in some form capable
OF injecting some blood-sucking insect
/ that transmits it to us.
After considering the habits of the
various insects and their means Of
moving or beiny transported from
place to place, also considering the
! slow manner of spreading from house
| to house, | have arrived at the con-
clusion that the only insect capable
| of transmitting pellagra is the pro
verbal bed-bug. The spread of pei
lagra is too slow from the infected
| force to be transmitted by a flying in
sect. The. as a great majority of the
victims are women and children, it
| seems that it is a house disease. In
other words, that the transmitter re-
mains domiciled in the house There
is no other insect that so thoroughly
establishes itself in the house and
subsists SO definitely upon human
blood as the bed-bug. I think it safe
ment houses are abundantly infested
by these insects. We have observed
in number of cases where a family
viii some member Of it suffering from
pellagra moves out and is succeeded
in occupancy of this same house by
family every member of which was
we'll at the time to find pellagra de-
veloping in one or more of it's men,
bers. To me this clearly proves that
the infection is there. and is soon
transmitted to the unfortunate in
mates.
Now if my theory is correct, and I
believe there is more logic in it than
in any yet advanced, here is where
research work should be done. If this
be true then our authorities and the
people generally should begin a cru
SADIE against this pesky bug, and the
war should be carried on to complete
determination.
During the year 1913 there were, as
shown by statistics compiled by Mis-
sissippi State Board of Health, 6,991
cases of pellagra in the State of Mis-
sissippi, and of this number 795 died.
During the year 1914 there were 49,
954 cases repo.stsS, and of this num-
Der 1892 died. The number of cases
occurring this year will, in all probable
ity, double that of 1914. Seriously
viewing the matter from a humane
standpoint, is it not high time that
our officials of city, county and state,
together with every citizen, should be-
stir themselves in the interest of
these benighted victims as we'll as
those of us who may not yet be in
fected? A great majority of the vic
tins are people in poor circumstances
who are unable to provide for them
selves. Are we going to sit supinely
by and allow them to anguish and die
for the want of proper food and medi-
cal attention? The doctors are willing
to do all in their powers for this suf-
fering class, but should the public re-
main idle and wait for the doctors to
do it all? | dosnot know the best

ST. MICHAEI's, Azores. March . ode
lsycd) The Standard Oil tank steamer
Petrolite left here to-day for New
York to complete her registry as an
American vessel. She entered this port
a a German ship soon after the war
started aud was then known as the Ex-
celsior.
As the Excelsior she was the property
OF the Deutsch Amerikanische Petro-
leum Company of Hamburg and was
leased to the Standard OIL Company of
New Jersey, to which she was sold on
November 80, A provisional registry
vas then issued to enable her TO pro-
coed to the United States.
The cargo OF the Petrolite was trans
shipped 10 the American vessel Brin-
dllla recently, which wac seized Oh her
Nay to Copenhagen. that the Petrolite
might return to New York. Her Ger
man crew was discharged and "A mixed
crew was sent out from New York to
take her back,
Although the Portuguese officials gave
their permission for the vessel to trans
ship her cargo 10 an American ship they
refused to permit her TO change her
German flag for an American one, and il
was only after diplomatic intercourse
at Lisbon that tho transfer was effected.
The Pctrolite should reach New York
in about ten days.
