DEFICIENCY DISEASES.

The vital functions of the body have the power of picking out from the different articles of food the spec ial elements needed for growth, of pulling the different foods apart and selecting the building elements need ed and recombining them in the body. Under ordinary conditions, our diets are sufficiently varied to furnish all the elements needed for normal body growth and repair. Some of these substances are needed in but very small amounts, so small that it is im- possible to detect them ,by chemical tests, but in their absence normal con- ditions of the body cannot be main tained.
 In times of scarcity, like the pres ent, we have opportunity to observe what happens when large groups of people are compelled to live on re- stricted diets which lack some of the necessary food elements. It has been stated that the cultivation of the po-
 tato banished scurvy from Europe, and there has been a marked return
 of the disease in those places in which the supply of potatoes has fallen short and has not been replaced by other fresh vegetables. Beri Beri, disease of the nervous systehm, common in the East in people living on a diet composed of polished rice, appeared among the English troops at the siege of Kut, while they were on a diet composed of white bread and canned meat. Upon the exhaustion of their supply of white bread they were com pelled to fall back on bread made from coarsely ground wheat, and the disease at once disappeared. In Ro- mania, the peasantry normally lived on diet composed chiefly of corn and milk products. In the retreat after the occupation of the western part of the country by the Germans, the cat tie were lost and the people were
 compelled to live almost entirely on corn. Pellagra in an acute form de- veloped in a large number of cases. In Norway form of Ophthalmia has developed among children fed on skinned milk and cereals. They im- mediately recovered from this upon
 the substitution of whole milk.
 These facts are of value to us in the light which they throw upon the feeding of infants and young children as showing the necessary part that | milk and milk products, fresh vegeta- bles and fruits and the coarsely milled
 grains play in the nutrttion.-Hart- 1 ford Health Bulletin.

Washington, Sept. 13-American manufacturers who plan to supply ma terials for the industrial reconstruc- tfon of northern France should pre- pare for cooperative selling, for revolutionary change in French meth ods of buying is to follow the war. s A. small number of central pur- chasing agents, representing groups of French manufacturers engaged in related industries and assisted by the credit of the French government, will deal with those supplying the ma terial.
 Scattered American selling efforts will not be able to meet the require ments of the huge buying power of several thousand French consumers, in the opinion of Pierce c. Williams. American commercial attache at Paris who reports that unless American manufacturers prepare for co-opera- tive selling they will be laboring un- der a serious handicap.
 The Central Bureau for Industrial Purchases for the Invaded Regions q French stock company composed of many YtIlldIluIdCluICIo 1lclo AllPlAtN7A3S~' - in a report that the task of restoring the destroyed industries Is too large for individual and competitive buy ing. It's directors are reported as equally certain that it will be out of the question for isolated American firms, no matter how large or well equipped, to meet the demand It Is with groups of American manufactur- ers-each group being able to supply g. certain industry with all materials and special equipment for its restora- tion-that the Central Bureau wishes to establish relations.
 Although the French manufacturer in the past has been regarded as most individualistic among business men the size and complexity of the task of reconstruction has caused him to ac- cept such a radical change in his busi- ness methods as collective buying. The industrial reconstruction in France alone is more than one nation can properly attend to, so the pooling ot American interests involves solution of the question of whether American manufacturers will be able to hold LllelI OWll III cum HSN4hACll NA1AA DNAAS' nations.

New York, June 15.--(Special.)- )-- Among Birmingham folks who are making good in the Big City, none have achieved greater measure of success in shorter time than have Rose and Mary Fabian. the popular Birmingham musicians. who have been |appearing here in vaudeville since last August.
 New York theatrical journals have characterized the act of the Fabian Girls" as decidedly high class, and I can add, after having seen them a number of times, that 1t is not only high class, but is infinitely pleasing. which is probably more important to the average vaudeville enthusiast Perhaps the fact that I knew I was witnessing performance by two girls from down home" made it seem even better to me. But anyway, I am sure the Fabian girls are on the high road to real success. They have the talent. and there is every evidence of enter prise and persistence
 It is small wonder that these bright. wholesome southern girls, with their artless manners and simple kindness. have quickly won their way into the hearts of New York's dramatic and musical circles. and already they have made numerous friends among the best of New York artistes.
 The Fabian girls have found time between rehearsals. study and perform

Department of justice agents made a raid on party of negro miners at Brighton yesterday afternoon as they were stoning Charlie Minter. fellow miner. after he had reported to the federal authorities that Frank Free man. negro miner. had torn up his questionnaire Several of them were placed in the county jail last night for investigation.
 According to the account of the trouble. Freeman was placed under arr rest after it was learned that he had attempted to evade the draft by first attempting to burn his questionnaire, and finally tearing 1t to bits. It is all legged that Minter saw the paper torn.
 Yesterday. for some unknown reason, about 15 negro miners attacked Mfnter with bricks. stones. and it is alleged that several had gone after their picks and intended to make speedy joh of the affair. and would probably have succeeded had not the party of officials interfered in the nick Of time.
 A great deal of feeling was evident in the vicinity of the attack over the action The department of justice vii. probably make more complete in- vestisation of the eases today.
