PEllAGRA MAY INCREASE
BECAUSE Uf fOOD SHORTAGE

That there may be an increase in
pellagra during the coming year on
account of the rise in the cost of food
stutfs is the fear expressed in state
ment issued by the U. S. Public Health
Service today. As result of gov
eminent researches it was found that
pellagra is produced by an insufficient,
poorly-balanced diet and that it can
both be prevented and cured by the
use of food containing elements in the
proportion required by the body. The
application of this knowledge greatly
reduced pellagra in 1916 as compared
with previous years. This reduction
is believed by experts of the Public
Health Service to have been due to
improved economic conditions which
enabled wage-earners to provide them
selves with a better and more varied
diet and to a wider dissemination of
the knowledge of how the disease may
be prevented. 1t is feared, however,
that pellagra may increase in 1917 by
reason of an increase in food cost out
of proportion to the prosperity now
enjoyed by this country. The great
rise in the cost Of forage, particularly
cotton seed meal and hulls, is causing
the people in many localities to sell
their cows and thus there is danger
that they will deprive themselves of
milk, one of the most valuable pei
lagra preventing foods. The high cost
of living has further served to bring
about reduction in many families in
the amount of meat, eggs, beans and
peas consumed, all Of which are pei
lagra prophylactics. In effecting &C.
onomics of this nature the general
public should bear in mind the impor-
lance of properly balanced diet and
refrain from excluding, if possible,
such valuable disease preventing
foods. 1t is believed that unless this
is done there will be greater incl
dence of pellagra next spring.

Fame's Brief Life

One thing is certain in regard to
fame-for most of us it will be very
brief in itself; for all of US it will be
transient in our enjoyment Of it.
When death has dropped the curtain
we shall hear no more applause, and,
although we fondly dream that it will
continue after we have left the stage,
we do not realize how quickly it will
die away in silence while the audience
turns to look at the new actor and the
next scene. Our position in society
will be filled as soon as it is vacated
and our name remembered only for a
moment, except, please God, by a few
who have learned to love us not be-
cause Of fame, but because we have
helped them and done them some
good.

HOW HANDSPRING HABIT
WAS CREATED BY WHITES

Did you ever ask yourself why you
shake hands with persons whom you
know? Here is the reason: In olden
days when every man who had any
pretentions to being a gentleman car
ried q sword, it was the custom for
men when they met to show that they
had no intention of treachery to offer
each other their weapon hands, or, in
other words, the hand that would be
used to draw the sword, and to hold
back the hand was usually signal for
fight. This habit became SO fixed
that long after man ceased to wear
swords they still offered the weapon
hand to friend and declined to offer
it to an enemy. To this day, when
you refuse to shake hands with a
person, it signifies that you are at
war. Among savages who never car
ried swords the practice of shaking
hands is unknown, and it affaords
them a great deal Of amusement to
see white mep do it.-Ex.

Crust of French Bread

There is one precious quality which
distinguishes French bread from all
the other breads in the world, the
quality, namely, Of an extraordinarily
thick crust.
French bread has thick, crisp, ap-
petizing crust because it is baked with
fuel composed Of poplar branches.
The light poplar wood gives an in
tense heat, which for some reason
makes crust as no other fuel will do.
