Pellagra is Decreasing

O0>AoOhg $1,000 SNFcs Vii
talking to many of the physicians
of the state. relative to the preva-
lence of pellagra during 1916, the
statement has often been made
that there is less pellagra than
formerly, says DR.. feathers, Di.
rector of Public Health. Having
been impressed with these re-
ports, on looking up the statistical
data in the Office Of the State
Board of Health for the months
of April. May, June and July for
the years, 1915 and 1916, it is in
deed gratifying to note that while
there were 9,572 cases during
these four months in 1915, there
were only 4, 444 cases during the
same period for 1916. This
means a decrease in the number
of cases in 1916 of 5, 1913, or 46.4
per cent.
This is all the more striking
for the reason that in 1916, 92.7
per cent. of the physicians of
Mississippi made reports to the
State Board of Health. and in
1915, 1875 per cent. of the physi-
clans made reports. 1t will be
seen that in 1916 the number of
cases is about one-half as COM
pared with 1915. although in 1916
a larger number of physicians
made reports.
The question will naturally be
asked why such a remarkable re-
duction in the number of cases
for these months during the year
1916. This can only be answered
in the light of what has been
done in Mississippi in educating
the people on this subject. The
State Board of Health has been
very active since DR.. Goldberger
announced the dietary theory, in
getting the people of the state to
understand what they should eat
in the prevention and treatment
of this disease.
The press has rendered valua-
bic service. bulletins have been
published and lectures given at
different times. During the last
annual health officers conference,
DR.. Goldberger was invited to
explain in detail the prevalence
and treatment of pellagra by the
use of the proper diet. There
fore, the county health officers
have been talking to schools and
to the people of the counties
throughout the state. This means
the people are being educated
along this line, and this has been
an important factor in the redut-
ton of the disease. This is also
in part due to the increased pros
perity throughout the state.
We should continue to keep
before the people of Mississippi
the Importance of a balanced
diet. They should be impressed
with the fact that beans and
peas-fresh and dried, not
canned should form a regular
article of diet. 1t must be kept
in mind that the successful Grad
icatlon of pellaqra from the south
depends largely on the use of
common dried legumes during
the winter and spring and until
fresh legumes can be used. The
slogan throughout the state
should be. Cultivate beans and
peas" Perhaps the best diet
for preventing pellagra is milk
likewise meat and eggs are val
liable articles Of diet in the pre-
vention and treatment of this
disease.

CHAPLIN REPEATS
IN BIGGEST HIT

The Bijon theater is fast assuming
the reputation for being the home
of mirth'. in Honolulu and it is up
holding this reputation with each ad.

emit week, commencing tonight, the
return OF Titles Punctured Ro-
nance Saw it a year ago! OF
course you did, but so did several
millions across the mainland and to-
day it is one of the most sought-after
films ever made. It is on its second
tour-in some instances the tour is
number three-and is doing a bigger
business wherever shown than on its
initial trip.
One of the big reasons for this in
creased business is the fact that the
eccentric comedian who leads them all,
Charlie Chaplin, is better known to-
day than he was IL months ago.
There has sprung into being habit,
or a disease, called Chaplinitis for
which there has been discovered no
cure except more Chaplin films.
TITLES Punctured Romance was
one of the Chaplin introducers. 1t
made his name known around. the
world and his work was something
new. It made folks sit up and take
notice. It made it possible for him to
demand and receive the highest salary

time ".-~

Playing the hero must have become
almost second nature to Dustin Far
mum, both on the speaking stage and
in the silent drama Dusty" has
been assuming these roles for so many
years that II ras become habit and
also habit with the public to lock
for the heroic when Farnum IS the
featured star. At the Liberty theater
none is disappointed with the work of
Farnum in Ben Blair, the present
feature sent here by Pallas Pictures.
Ben Blair, the boy-ably played by
Gordon Griffith-is a .quivering, ter
ror-stricken mite OF humanity, alone
on the prairie, cringiHg with fear of
a brutal father and thus the picture
opens. Overhead the sky glows red
in the reflection of Ben's home, fast
crum bling into ashes-another mark
of his fathers cruelty-and the grave
Of the lads mother. -
Then comes Ben Blair the man
strong, Determined and resourceful as
only Dustin Farnum can depict him.
Also, there is a girl, Florence Win
throp, and the role is played by the
charming Winifred Kingston. who has
supported FarnGm In his numerous
screen offerings and recently ap-
peared at the Liberty with him in
The Cali of the Cumberlands.
The Iron Claw" with Pearl White
and Creighton Hale in. the leading
roles is the serial that has captiyated
