High cost of food stuffs may cause
an increase in pelagra during the
coming year.
This is the fear expressed by the
United States public health service.
As a result Of government researches
1t was found that pellagra is produc-
ed by an insufficient, poorly balanced
diet and that 1t can be both prevent.
ed and cured by the use of food con-
tanning elements in the proportion re-
quired by the body.
The application OF this knowledge
greatly reduced pellagara in 1916 as
Compared with previous years. This
reduction is believed by the public
health experts to have been due to
improved economic conditions which
enabled wage earners to provide them
selves with better and more varied
diet.
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 price of for
age, 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 pellagra preventing foods.
The high cost of living has further
served to bring about reduction in
many families of the amount Of meat,
eggs, beans and peas consumed.
In effecting economies of this ma.
ture the general public should bear
in mind the Importance of properly
balanced diet and refrain from doing
away with, il possible, such valuable
disease preventing foods.
1t is believed that unless this is
done there will be a great increase in
the number Of cases Of pellagra next
spring.
