Physician Finds Pella%ra case III
Clarke County.

G, w, Cole, of this county, is a
no,laqrim That statement may
sound odd to the physicians OF inns
section of the state owing TO the
rareness of the disease. Such al
agnosis was made by Dr.. Harklns on
the case of G. w. Cole, who resides
northwest of the city. The disease
is not common to Iowa and the dag
nosis was made after careful STUDY
of the case. Pellagra is common IN
Italv and of late years has attracted
much attention in the southern states
and is a disease which aHects tne
skin and nervous system ana olooo'
The diagnosis was made ov II.
Harkins and lately confirmed py oth-
er physicians, who had been calieu 10
view the case, shows that Ciarke
county has produced 1.-The pellasra
case which is most uncommon ana
which is seldom known in TINS part
of the country and shows the cor
rectness of the diagnosis of the phys
icians who have been in the south,
have made the same diagnosis. AS
stated this is the first case OF the
kind in this section OF the state, ana
# has remained for Clarke county
physician to make diagnosis as TO
the real nature of the disease.
Pellagra is one of the most uncom,
mon diseases. 1t exists in Italy and
the south, but few cases are known
in this state. That such case could
be given the proper diagnosis by a
physician of this county shows more
readily than cold type of@the ethel,
ency of the doctor who made the hrs'
| diagnosis of the case.
It should be understood there has
never been case of pellagra IN TINS
county, and it may be years oe1ore
there is another. 1t must be WITH
considerable pride that the people OF
Clarke county can point to the pres,
ent case as showing the capablllty OF

Sow Attacks Child.

Last Sunday afternoon the little
three wear old son of Mr.. and MRS.
Ira Denley, who live south and west
of Van Vert, was attacked and badly
bruised about the abdomen and
great cash was cut in its forehead.
The SOW rushed upon its little
victim, knocked him over, set her
teeth into the little fellows stomach
and started for the back part OF the
pasture on the run. Mr.. Denley hap
pened to be close and gave chase.
The SOW was so closely pursured that
she had to release her hold anu flee
for safety.
Had MIR. Denley been elsewhere at
that moment, we shudder to think OF
the awful death which would have
resulted. The dress the little one
was wearing, in all probabilities, saw
ed it from being badly mangled.
DR.. Bedding was called and made E
flying trip, soon having the little Eel
low out of his suffering and last o
ports the child was getting alonG ! 2
and on the road to speedy recovery.

MAKING BEST USE OF NUTS
They May Be Employed in innumer-
able Ways, and Are Nutritious
and Appetizing.

Nuts add attractiveness and nutri-
ton to many plain dish. They are
especially valuable for the school
luncheon basket, as they make eempt-
ing sandwich filings when combined
with chopped celery, olives, fresh and
dried fruits. They give the same
nutrition as does meat. They give
the needed touch to a pudding, des-
sert, cake filling or salad Consequent
ly we are including the toothsome nut
meats more plentifully in the various
cooked dishes.
Buy nuts in the shell whenever pos
sible, as it is a much safer plan, but
If you are obliged to get nuts that
are shelled subject them to the fol-
lowing treatment to free them from
any germs that may be lurking round
them. Place them in a colander and
quickly, and at once immense in very
cold water then drain and wipe dry in
a folded napkin. This does not af-
feet the oils and crispness of the nut
meats If it is done quickly.
Choose almonds with thick shells.
as they have the richest and sweetest
meats. To blanch them, pour boiling
water over them, turn them upon a
clean towel and rub the brown skins
from them. To extract pecans whole
from the shells, pour boiling water
over them and let them stand until
cold. Crack them at the small ends.
The kernels of English walnuts thai
are trifle rancid for use can be
sweetened If boiling water containing
a pinch of soda is poured over them.
Rinse in cold water and dry in the
sun.

TO SERVE WITH BOILED FISH
Sauce That Is Exceptionally Good,
Recommended by One of the Best
Known Chefs.

Fish sa1ce is almost more important
than the fish. This is something good:
Take the yolks of two eggs, one cupful
of brown sauce and one tablespoonful
of vinegar or lemon juice. Make the
brown sauce by browning two table
spoonfuls of butter in the frying pan,
stir In a tablespoonful of flour, salt
and pepper and add cupful of the
water in which the fish was boiled.
and boil until 1t thickens. Beat the
yolks of the eggs and stir the hot
brown sauce into it. Put it on the
stove and let it boil a minute or two,
add the vinegar or lemon juice and
serve hot with the fish.
Here is another delicious recipe for
a sauce to serve with boiled or
steamed fish: Melt three tablespoon
fuls of butter, add three tablespoon
fuls of flour and stir until well blend
ed. Then pour on gradually, while
stirring constantly, one cupful of white
stock and one-half cupfu1 Of cream.
Bring to the boiling point and add one
fourth cupful of blanched and shredded
almonds. eight olives (stoned and cut
in quarters), one-half tablespoonful
OF lemon juice, one teaspoonful of beef
extract, one-half teaspoonful OF salt
and few grains of cayenne.
