PELLAGIsA'S CAUSE
AND REMEDY FOUND


Balanced Diet the Cure. Says Dem.
OnstratiOns Prove Disease Is Caused
ny Wrong System of Dieting.
Washington, November 11.-Discoy-
cry of the cause and cure for pellarra
was announced formally tonight by
the public health service. The an
hounccmcnt follows the recent pubIica-
tlon OF q report by Surgeon General
Joseph Goldbcrgcr on a year of OK
perlihcnts IN cooperation with South
cfn States health officers, dcnonstrot-
lh& the correctness of the theory thot
a onc-sidcd diet lacking in proteids
would cause the disease and that y
well balanced diet would cure it.
The spread OF this dread malady.
which has been Increasing in thc
United States at terrific rate during
the past few years, may now he
checked, and eventually cradicatcd.' -
says the service statement. 1T is es-
timated that 10000 cases of the dis
ease Will have occurred in the United
States In 1915, and of this number nj
least $500 will have died before the
cnd OF the year. In many sections only
tuberculosis and pneumonia exceed It
as cause Of death"
The final dietary tests made nv
surgeon Goldbergcr and Assistant Sur
geon G. A. Wheeler at the farm of tho
Mississippi pcnitentiary, where half
dozen Of eleven convicts were given
pellagra by feeding them for five
months on bountiful meals, consisting
CHIEFLY OF cereals and sweets and Lack
ing III meats, milk, eggs, beans and
peas The victims recently were par
oohcd Dy thc governor and arc being
restored to health through a corrected
diet
Skin Symptoms Show.
Although the occurrence of nary
GUS symptoms and gastro-intcstinal
disturbances was noted carly" saws
the service statement, "it was not unti,
september -. or about five months
altcr the beginning Of the restricted
met that the skin symptoms so char
actcristic of pcllagra began TO dcvclop.
ne conVictS upon whom the cXpcri
mept was made were kept under con
tinuous medical surveillance. No cas-
es of pcllagra develop in camp cx-
ceptmg among those men who were
on the restricted dict. The OK
pcrlmentcrs have therefore drawn the
conclusion that pellagra has been
caused in at least six Of eleven volun-
teers as result Of the ones sided diet
on which they subsisted.
On the basis of this discovery the
States OF Mississippi, Louisiana and
Florida have laid their propaganda
through their respective boards of
health for the eradication of the dis
ease"
In earlier experiments about two
hundred patients had been cured by
balanced rations and at the end of a
year there had been slight rccur-
renee of the disease in only one in
stance.

It was this proposition that Councilman Cunningham was heartily in favor of The city engineers opinion was ask cd in regard to the matter and that official stated he would advise the city to pave the upper part of the Gulch first and then, if the evil Of waste was not eliminated to proceed with the readjusment of the grade. It was here that Naco Road came in for its share of attention
 Zeiscmer's figures indicated that the cost for the pavement of Naco Road from a point near the fire sta ton to the top of slag Dump Hill. and from a point at the bottom of the hill to the city limits, would cost $13, O2O.

 Councilman Cunningham immediate ly proposed that the two pieces Of property be purchased by the city It was shown that the council never went on record. formally of informal ly, as approving of the city's pur- chase of the property and this was the occasion for a talk by Edwards. who threw some boquets at Alderman Angius and Hennossy.
 It was proposed that the city take it's funds and purchase the property in a motion made by Councilman Cum ningham. This motion failed of a second and the park matter slipped. again. by the boards.
 Several petitions were presented to the council. One came before the aldermen protesting against the change of the name of Brewery Gulch Another appeared from residents oI Clawson Hin asking that the road from Tombstone Casyon be widened | Another appeared requesting that an 1 exclusive jimey service be granted and started in Bisbee.

HOUSE BILL I CAUSES MUCH
 COMPLAINT
Pool and Billiard Room Own CTS Censure Pending Bill in Legislature as Very Un- fair.

House Bin 71 introduced by l.. D. Lee of Graham county in thse Arizo- ma state legislature is causing con siderable discussion It applies to the operators of billiard and pool halls and the concensus Of opinion among the owners of these establish ments is that the law is extremely severe and even confiscatoyr
 The first section applies to the li- cense of the tables The first bill- iard or pool table or bowling alley in each establishment under the reyis- ions of the measure, have Go pay BIO quarterly license Every other bill iard or pool table or bowling alley has to pay S25O a quarter To this section there is not a great amount of complaint
 To section two however, the own CTS offer considerable objection lt provides that an games played on any billiard or pool tables or on a bowl ing alley. must be paid for in ad- vance. lt also provides that the loser of a game on any of these tables or alleys can not pay the whole bill
 According to several Bisbee own CTS of billiard and pool halls this lea- ture is extremely confiscatory In the first place they argue. they have 'as much right to allow man to pay for bis goods after he has received them. as in any other business They also maintain tba, the last feature of section two would eliminate the credi, feature of their business
 This in their opinion, is one of the worst features of the bin and chat they intend to fight the measure seems assured from action already taken m the matter

Cunningham sought to amend the motion further but again failed of a second.
 At this point the mayor in conjunc- ton with Alderman Cunningham de- cided that it would be wise to put the matter of paving over until an other meeting The mayor suggested committee to interview the Clipper Queen officials and to ascertain other facts in regard to the paving Alder. man Hennessy remarked that the mayor was outof order as there was a motion before the council
 This provided retort from the mayor but resulted in temporary Iul in the proceedings In order to facilitate matters Alderman Toland withdrew his motion and the mayor appointed Councilman Holz Cunning ham and Hennessy and City Enginecl Zeisemer as a committee to investi gate and report later at specia meeting to be called.

 It can not be absolutely determined whether Arndt made any struggle or no L. A large spot of blood. found near the doorway however would give some grounds for such a conclusion.
 Though unconscious Arndt rambles in conversation. He calls continually the name of his sister. now living in Douglas. While the surgeon dressed his wounds yesterday Arndt begged his sister not to be so rough with him. During the day yesterday at the hospital, it is said that this same conversation is said to have been kept up.
 The time of the attack has not been placed It is supposed, however, from the statement of Dr Leonard, after examining the wounds, and the sta.e of the clotted blood, that they had been made several hours before This would place the time of the attaol between 1 and 4 o'clock
 Both thhe city officers and the coun ty authorities have let no stone sI unturned to clear the mystery Tht officers are hoping that the youn- man may regain consciousness and throw some light on the matter
 Without a clew, practically, are thu officers working It is one of th' most puzzlug cases ever to com' before their attention.
 Young Arndt was one of the beF liked young men in Bkisbee He u not known to have had any enemie and thhe murderous attack can onl! be ascribed to one motiye-robbery The news of the affair spread rapidl. over the district yesterday and grea indignation was voiced by all wh spoke of the matter.

SUDDEN DEATH OF
AN OLD GENTLEMAN

Mr.. Hugh Nichols tells Of very
sad experience he had on last Tues
day. Mr. Nichols was crossing the
Withlacoochee river on the fatboat
at Curry's ferry, between Rutland and
Istachatta, where the Withlacoochee
divides Citrus and Sumter counties.
Mr.. A. U. DeBusk, a man of about
sixty years Of age, and a friend of
Mr.. Nichols for many years, was
assisting the ferryman, Dave Caruth-
ers and a nephew, Dave DeBusk, TO
take Mr.. Nichols car across the river.
The old gentleman was laughing and
joking with Mr.. Nichols, apparently
the picture of health. Mr.. Nichols
drove off the fiat slowly and when 80
feet away heard one of the young men
call to him urgently to return quick
ly. He stopped the car and ran back,
and found Mr.. DeBusk had fallen on
the fiat. Supposing that he had faint
ed, Mr.. Nichols threw some water in
his face and attempted to revive him.
The old gentleman gasped a few
times, his arms and legs gave a spas
motto Jerk and he was dead without
speaking.
Mr.. Nichols went on to Inverness,
secured a casket and burial clothes
and returned and took the body home,
close by, where it was buried next
day.
Mr.. Nichols brought Mr.. DeBusk
to Ocala few weeks ago and he
seemed to enjoy his trip very much.
1t was the first time he had been
here in 20 years, and the first time he
had been further from home than the
ferry in almost that many years.

MISFORTUNES Do
NOT COME SINGLY

What with the war in Europe and
the consequent scarcity Of money, we
leave it TO any one to decide if this
is any time to have to buy new pair
of pants, but this is just what we
have had to do.
This horrible necessity, which was
none of our seeking, happened in this
way.
A few nights ago, at our boarding
house, after some one had finished
supper, we came in ard occupied the
chair he had just vacated. This
careless party had, as we found out
afterwards to our sorrow, dropped a
portion of his meal into the chair and
the same stuck all over that portion
of our pants that is used to sit on.
We did not discover this till we
were preparing TO retire, and being
very sleepy, we hung our pants on
the floor as has been our custom for
many years, with a mental resolution
to arise early and clean the spot
from the garment.
But, alas, "the best laid plans of
mice and men, gang aft a gley."
When we arose and hastily donned our
bifurcated appendages, we were re-
minded of a GOODNESS in their rear ex-
tremities.
This was on the first morning of
the present cold spell. We investigat-
ed and found that some evil-minded
rat had made a meal of the bosom
of our pants while removing there
from the cheese or jam or whatever
had been adhering to them.
We were in a terrible predicament,
for we had no other pants, and these
perfectly good ones that had stood by
US or rather around US so faithfully
for three years, were ruined. We plac-
ed folded copy of the Star inside to
down in front of a store belonging to
one of our friends where, on one other
occasion, with different but almost
as pitiful a tale, we had been able to
obtain credit. We were not disap-
pointed, and this friend, after an
hours wait, opened up the store and
we now have a perfectly good pair of
pants which we owe for, and are fixed
for another three years, for we be
blamed if any rat ever catches US
mapping again, and we shall always in
future hang our garments from

When the British proclaimed two
weeks ago that they had found a way
of combating German submarines, we
thought they were talking thru their
hats, but it is beginning to look like
they had some basis for the claim. 1t
has been several days since the sink
ing of British vessel by a German
submarine has been reported. Its
true that the depots for the subs on
the Irish and Norwegian coasts may
have all been searched out and de-
stroyed, and the undersea boats COM
PEELED to go all the way to Germany
for supplies, but it seems strange
they all had to go at once. 1t is de-
clared that submarine, no matter
how deep it dives, is sure to leave a
trail on the surface, and if destroy
er, or any other armed vessel of
speed, picks up the trail, it is only a
matter of hours before the submarine
must rise to be greeted with sure de-
struction or capture. Its very difficult
to do anything on the sea that the
Briton can't cope with, sooner or later.
