Pellasra is Durable

oochSoH, MISS, June 3D.
during the past year pellagra
proved to be one of the most
prevalent and fatal diseases in
Mississippi. The name, pella-
gra, has heretofore caused alarm
among those who contracted it.
and justly so, because it was
usually fatal. According to re-
cent discoveries. this disease
should no longer be looked upon
with alarm. 1t is now known
that it can be prevented and
cured.
Doctor Goldberger, of the U.
S. public health service, states:
That pellagra is not COM
municable (neither infectious or
contagious) disease, but that it
is essentially of dietary origin.
That no pellagra develops in
those who consume a mixed.
we'll balanced and varied Diet"
The practical question for those
who contract pellagra and those
who would prevent it is not what
is its cause. but how it can be
prevented and cured.
1t has been shown conclusively
that a person eating the right
kind of diet. that is, a well bal
anced diet. such as milk, fresh
lean meat and eggs. will not have
this disease. In the event this
kind of diet cannot be supplied,
owing to expense, the protein
element of the diet, the absence
or lack of proportion of which
will cause pellaRra, can be sup
piled by liberal use Of egumes,
(beans or peas) fresh or dried.
not canned. Pellagra can be
cured by the use of the same
kind of diet, provided the disease
is recognized sufficiently early.
In other words, an early diagno-
sis of the disease, in most cases,
is essential in its cure.
When it is realized that the
preventive and curative measures
of pellagra are so simple and in
expensive. there is no reason
why the disease should longer
prevail and cause such alarm in
the state. It is a question of
cultivating beans and peas in
sufficient quantities and making
them a part of the diet through
out the winter months. or until
such time as fresh beans or peas
can be raised. If this is done,
the disease will be prevented,
cured, and in time. eradicated.
It is nothing short Of suicidal
for the people Of the state not to
consistently observe these pre-
ventive and curative measures.
Especially is this true when it is
a question Of eradicating a dis
ease which at present is exacting
an awful toll upon human life.

Director Of Public Health.

Tomato Blight

We publish below a letter from
Prof. Tisdale of the A. & M.
College, in answer to one re-
questing information as to how
to prevent tomato blight.
For several years blight has
appeared at some time during
the growth of tomatoes and de-
stroyed many plants. This COM
plant has almost become gener-
al. 1t has been our experience
as well as that Of MANY others.
We asked for information as to
how to prevent the trouble and
in order that others who have
been troubled similarly may
have the benefit of the informa-
ftion we publish Prof. Tisdale's
letter.
Agricultural College, Miss,
June 20. 1916
Mr.. F. L. Kincannon, Tupelo,
Miss.
Dear Sir: Your letter to the
Professor Of Horticulture has
just been turned over to me for
reply. | am sorry to inform you
that there is no fertilizer which
you can use to prevent the
blighting of tomatoes, as it is
not due to soil conditions in any
way whatever. The disease is
caused by a fungus known as
Fusarium, which plugs the water
vessels of the plants. thus shut
! ting off the water supply Of the
leaves and branches.
This fungus lives in the soil on
the organic material present for
a number of years and cannot be
controlled by the rotation of
crops. About the only thing |
can recommend to you is the use
of disease resistant varieties of
tomatoes. The Horticultural
Department has found by exper-
iment that it Is better not to
transplant at all, but plant the
seeds at once where you expect
the plants to grow. The varl-
eties which keve proven most
resistant at this station are:
Buckeye State, Royal Pink, Globe
! and Wilt Proof. Either of these
may be obtained from our Hor-
ticultural Department, or pos
sibly from the local market.
/ trust that this will be of some
benefit to you and your subscrib-
-ers. Assuring you that we will
be glad to serve you whenever
possible, | am.
Very truly yours,
w. B Tisdale,
Instructor in Botany and For
!: estry.

To the Patriotic People of
Mississippi

Regarding the present situa.
tion in Mexico as critical and re.
Quiring prompt and diligent
action on the part of the military
of our country, President Wilson
has seen proper to issue a call
for the mobilization of the
National Guard of the several
states at once. There can be no
question of the wisdom of this
course. We have an army in
Mexico $50 miles from the bor-
der, threatened by attack from
a force superior in numbers.
Our border towns have been
raided and are again threatened.
The military authorities regard
it as imperative that the border
be given ample protection and it
is for this purpose that the
National Guard is being must
cred into service. Each COM
pany, at its full strength. con-
sists of 141 men exclusive of
officers. None of the companies
are up to their full strength, and
they cannot be accepted for ser.
vice until they are. It therefore
becomes necessary that each
company shall be recruited up to
141 men, exclusive Of officers.
There is no doubt in my mind
that Mississippians will readily
answer the country's call and it
would cause blush of shame to
every one if our state is net one
of the very first to respond with
every company at its full
strength. There are many in
our state who formerly belonged
to the National Guard, and /
would urge these, on account of
their former training, to enlist
at once, and be mustered in in
the company nearest to their
home. The State and National
Government has expended much
money in the preparation of the
National Guard for emergencies
such as this, and as we have a
very small standing army our
chief reliance must be placed on
this arm of the service. l would
also urge all able bodied men, of
military age, to give careful con-
sideration to the Importance Of
enlistment, and to at once affil-
late with the military company
nearest them.
Many of our young men haye
positions of trust and emolument
in our mills, railroads and other
places of business and their hes
itation to enlist is caused by fear
that their places will be filled by
others during their absence. I
would call upon all employers to
assure the young men in their
employ that should they enlist
that their places would be held
for them until their return. In
this way they would evlnce their
patriotism, and thus contribute
to the success of our volunteer
military organization Of which
we have always been proud.
The men of the South have al
ways responded to their coun-
try's call in time of need, have
been first on the field of battle
and the last to leave it and / do
most seriously urge q prompt
response to this call SO that Mis-
sissippi will be able to send it's
regiments with their full COM
plement of men to the front
whenever needed.
