EDITORIAL

That there may be an increase in pellagra during the coming year on account of the rise in the cost of 2. odstuffs is the fear expressed In a statement issued by the U. S. Public Health Service today. As a result Of government researches it was found that pellagra is produced by an iusufficient, poorly-balanced diet and that it can both De pre- vented and cured by the use of food containing elements in the pro portion required by the body. The application of this knowledge great ly reduced pelIagra in 1916 as com pared with previous years. This reduction is believed by experts of the Public Health Service to have been due to improved economic con ditions which enabled wage-earners to provide themselves with D better and more varied diet and to a wider dissemination of the knowledge Of how the disease may be prevented. It is feared, however, that pellagra nay increase in 1917 by reason of an inrease in food cost out Of pro portion to the VrsPerity now en- joyed by this country. The great rise in the cost of forage, Qarticu- larly cotton seed meal and hulls, is causing the people iu many localt- ties to sell their COWS and thus there is danger that they will de- Drive themselves Of milk, one ot the mos. valuable peIlagra preventing foods. The high cost of living has further served to bring about re- ductiou in many families in the amount of meat, eggs, beans and peas consumed, all of which are peIIagra Urophylactics. In effecting economies of this nature the general public should bear in mind the i'm portauee of 2 prODgrly balanced diet and refrain from excluding, if pos sible, such valuable disease prevent ing foods. It Is believed that un- less this is done there will be greater incidence of pellagra next spring.
