PELLAGRA PREVENTION
Spring Diet Determines Summer
Symptoms

! A faulty or restricted diet at
this season of the year is the
chief factor in the production of
pellagra. Measures to prevent the
development of the disease should
be instituted during the early
spring months, according to a
circular of information issued to-
day by the United States Public
Health Service. While the mani
festations of pellagra are in most
cases not in evidence until June
or July, the condition invariably
dates from a faulty diet of earlier
months. Therefore, if due pre-
cautions are exercised by individ-
uals at the present time, the hav-
oc wrought by this scourge may
be greatly lessened, if not entire
ly eliminated.
The report further calls atten-
ton to certain danger signals
which should be recognized by
those who reside in pellagrous
districts or those who have had
previous attacks of the disease.
Among such warning symptoms
are extreme nervousness or
change in the mental characteris-
tics of the individual. Weak
ness or debility, a Discrimination
to undertake the ordinary daily
tasks, and unexplained digestive
symptoms may all be premonitory
signs. These symptoms do not,
of course, necessarily mean the
development of .pellagra, but
taken in connection with the his
tory of one-sided, monotonous
diet, they serve as a definite
warning of the possibilities of its
onset.
The diet recommended by the
health service for the prevention
Of pellagra will not produce re-
suits if followed for a week or
ten days only; but, if continuous
ly and consistently used, under
circumstances similar to it's adj
ministration in the various insti-
tutions where the experimental
tests have been performed, it will
protect the individual against
the development of the disease.
Necessarily, a rigid UNMARRIED diet
is wholly undesirable, and the
menu recommended is only to in
dictate in a general way the char
acter of the food to be prescribed.
Frequently the element of power

Caught a Big Shark

Fred Sabel is q man of varied
experiences and he has caught
some big fish in times past, but
not until Monday afternoon did
he get one that he could not man
age without assistance. But he
had gone out after a big one and
lie was supplied with tackle that
met all demands made upon it.
1t was late III the afternoon, a.
bout 5 80 o'clock, when quite a
number Of people were fishing
from the city wharf. Mr.. Sabel
got bite and was not long in
realizing that something had to
be done Immediately, if he was
to remain on the wharf and retain
possession of his fishing tackle
1t was a mighty pull that promis-
ed to take him over the wharf
railing into tho water if he did
not let go or get help.
Others OF the fishing brigade
were not long to observe that Mr..
Sabel needed assistance and they
came to him-H, b. Blazer, Mr..
and Mrs. j. A. Hawkins and Mr..
Hawkins mother were quick to
take hold of the line, and, with
their assistance, Mr.. Sabel was
enabled to land the big fellow.
And the help of the two ladies is
not to be discounted, says Mr..
Sabel, for they sure welded a
strong pull.
1t was about the biggest shark
ever caught from the city wharf.
He measured 8 feet 4 inches in
length and weighed about 400
pounds.

nearest thing to my idea is found
! in the Bible-where all good
texts are found. As my theologi-
cal education was neglected, |
cannot direct you precisely where
to find the text, but any Sunday
school pupil with the aid of BIZ
BILE having a word index ought to
be able to find It. The story is:
"A man was given talent of sill
yer and he didn' t know what to
do with it,"
He was afraid to lend it out at
interest or to invest it in real es-
tate, horse races, bolito, or saw
mgs banks, and he was too stingy
to spend it at church fairs. SO
he buried it. No one knows just
where he buried ii, but it is safe to
Isay that, if the Gasparilla treas
ure seekers had the least idea
where it was planted. they would
go and dig for it, But this is
foreign to my text.
The Creator gave Punta Gorda
not only one talent, but several
of thom. What is to be done
with thoml Shall they be hid
den in tn ground to discolor and
rust, or shall they be kept bright
and shining from use, from in
Ivestment, from change and inter
change, and from aiding the bust
ness enterprises and ventures of
industrious citizens? In other
words, shall they be given "a
chance to increase and multiply,
or shall they be sunk in the mud
of Coral creek for the lure of the
worthless renegades who never
earned a dollar by honest labor
in all their lives?
1t is hardly necessary to organ
ize debating society to decide
how this question should be ans
wered. Punta Gorda's talents
must not be buried. They must
be given a chance to increase, to
grow, to multiply. We shall be
held accountable for the manner
in which we have disposed of the
talents given to this city by a
merciful and munificent Creator.
We are expected to show an in
crease of these talents many fold,
and we have it within our hands
to do it. The time is ripe, the
talents are in our hands, and the
chance of multiplying them new
er was so great. The splendid
climate, the famous bay, the SUI
perb location, the susceptibility
of the soil to cropping the yeaf
round, the natural and artificial
channels of communication all
these talents must not be buried.
Let us keep them bright and shin
ing so that we need not hang our
heads in shame when called upon
for an accounting. thank.

NEW YORK, July 22.--There is Ma
tion-wide interest in movement to
arouse business men to n realization Of
the importance of the new British
"blacklist" order. The significance Of
the order is appreciated more and more
as the firms which may be affected re-
port how their business opportunities
may be curtailed.
The firms which have received car
goes from the submarine Deutschland,
or which may be sending cargo away
on her, will il is said, find themselves,
under this order, on blacklist, which
m6ans that none Of the allied powers
firms will be allowed to deal with them.
h Fifty members Of blacklisted firms
held a meeting last night, at which ii
was decided to call n larger meeting
next Monday, for discussion of the mat
ter. 1t was decided to appoint 4 CON
mittee to formulate plans for nation

Iby the Allies upon American commerce.
The order Of blacklisting, if carried
out, will have "far.reachipg and dis
