end-that the Fuel Administration
asks you to conserve gasoline, we
ask you to conserve Weed Chains
Prodigal use of Weed Chains
the unnecessary use of cars in bad
road weather a shortage
in Weed Chains.
There must be no lack of power
and traction for trucks and essen

There must be no checking nor
curtailing of transportation for win

You know chains are as neces-
sary for traction, to insure safety
on slippery pavements and muddy
and snowy roads, as gasoline is
necessary to give the engine power.
You know Weed Chains are the
only chains that insure this traction
and safety without cutting tires to
pieces.

No Need Of Pellagra
e STATE BOARD 9rHEAITn

Pellagra caused $40 deaths in the
state of Mississippi in the year 1915.
Since the mortality from pellagra Is
about per cent, that means that
there were at least 10000 persons af
flicted with pellagra in this state in
1915.
The most characteristic signs of pei.
lagra are peculiar skin rash, resem-
bling sunburn or weather chap, most
frequently observed on the backs of
the hands, and in children on the
backs of the feet; a general loss OF
strength or vitality, with special ten
denE toward nervous depression or
melancholy, or sometimes gradually
developing mental deterioration; and
scalded or sore mouth, with a red
dened tongue, dyspepsia, diarrhea and
other disturbances of the digestive or
gans. All the symptoms are likely to
be worse in spring and summer
weather, and better in the fall and

| ter part of the year, is limited almost
wholly to biscuit, corn bread, grits
gravy and syrup. 1t is unreasonable
to assume that perfect health can be
maintained on diet of cereals
starches and fat, without fresh pro
TEN or heterogeneous food, such as meat
eggs, milk.
Far be it from us to intimate that
there is anything the matter with our
old corn pone and sucn. On the con
trary, these foods are wholesome and
sustaining. But man is an omniver
Gus beast, and he just must have his
animal food. If game were more plen
tiful the year round we would never
have to worry about pellagra. If beef
and milk were more plentiful in the
South we would probably have little
pellagra.
Cheese is good substitute for meat
wheR meat can't be had.
The soya bean Is another excellent
preventive of pellagra. So are string

the peril of middle age is arterial do

What causes arterial degeneration :
Eating too much. II you are above
the normal average weight for one of
your age and height, of course you are
eating more than your system requires.
and the excess is a burden to your
circulation.
Alcohol in moderation. Alcohol
wears out the arteries.

attribute their trouble to the warm eli

The cause Of pellagra is probably an
inadequate diet. There is good deal
of evidence to support the belief that
the use of reasonable variety of fresh
animal food in the diet will prevent
pellagra BY fresh animal food 5
meant fresh milk. fresh eggs, fresh
lean meat, fowl, fish and game, and
fresh vegetables ard fruits. The dis
ease seems to be most prevalent
among people whose diet, for the bet

beans, dried beans. dried peas. Soy
bean meal may be mixed with the corn
meal in the proportion OF one part to
four or five of corn meal. Greens Of
all kinds are good to keep off pella
gra. Lean hog is as good as any other
meat to prevent pellagra. Buttermilk
is also good.
In the North they suffer all sorts Of
ailments, according to physicians, from
the excessive eating Of meat. In the
South we may ascribe pellagra to the
want of sufficient meat or proteid
food in our diet

VETERANS OF WAR
 TO HOLD RALLIES
 AT POLL THEATRE

Opening at Poli's Main street thea tre Monday afternoon, two soldiers from Gen. Pershings army who have been on the fighting front in France, will begin a weeks series of war ral- lies under the direction of the Bridge port War bureau. These men are members of the 69th Regiment and are loaned to Bridgeport by the State Council of Defense, which obtained 10 men from the contingent that re- gently landed in New York.
 Beginning Tuesday these men will speak briefly in the factories, start ing probably at the Remington Arms plant. It has been found in other cit ies that these factory meetings arouse an immense amount of interest and bring home to the workers the fact that their efforts are as necessary as are those of the men in thief rent line trenches.
 The War bureau has not yet com pleted its schedule but expects that most of the munition plants will be visited during the course of the week. It is also probable that theatre and other meetings will be arranged to let Bridgeport people see these men who have dared death by Hun bull lets and to hear their message from American soldiers in Era-~-

LAVIT'S STORY
 ON MACH|N|STS WAS MISLEADING

Following the same course of mis- representation as he has been known to pursue in the past, Samuel Lavit, business agent of the Machinists' union, stated to the Bridgeport Times yesterday that 800 machinists and toolmakers had walked out of the smaller factories of this city, striking for establishment of minimum wage.
 The Times accepted the statements of MT. Lavit as the truth, but an in- vestigation made today showed that less than 100 men left the shops, and that the men did not quit work in many instances to obtain minimum wage rate, but as protest against the open shop maintained by their em- ployers.
 Layit's statement that the machin- ists and toolmakers of the Remington Arms Go. were to vote last night on a strike movement also appears to be absolutely without foundation Al though the machinists in this plant intend to meet today or tomorrow they have no intention of even discussing strike matters.
 According to a government agent, Lavit has by his actions the last week violated the Taft-Walsh agreement

vECSEY APPEALS FROM VALUATION
 OF HIS PROPERTY

Property owners in various parts of the city are filing appeals from as- sessments made by the Tax Commis- sioner, and asking the Superior Court to review the valuations fixed and af- ford equitable relief. Two such ap- peals have been filed today in the court, following a number which were filed earlier in the week.
 Geza and Julia Yecsey, as joint owners of piece of property in Bost- wick avenue have appealed to the court. They listed their property at $4,5O0, it was increased to $500 by the Tax Commissioner, and the Board of Relief reduced the. assessment by $200. This is still excessive, their complaint says.
 Geza Vecsey files appeal from the valuation of three pieces of property, one in Bostwick avenue, one in Os- born street, and one in Hancock ave- nue which is listed at $3,500, $500 and $36, 400 respectively. They were raised to $4,742, $5,512 and .$53,356. The Board of Relief reduced the first two figures by $1,100, and the third one by $4,300. He asks the court for relief

 The police report shows that the of dcers have not lost their enthusiasm in the last few hours of the drive. They brought in subscriptions which bring their total to $9S,0O0. Precinct one had $24, 700, Precinct three, s2S, 700, and Precinct four leads with $S5, 500.

Returns to last night were placed at 6,500,000. The firemen, policemen, boy scouts and women's committee, filed returns this morning but were expected to add to them before the closing hour, 3 o'clock this afternoon.
 At the close of the drive it is esti- mated that Bridgeport have sub scribed many thousands of dollars over the figure aimed for and will hayes ecured 15,000 more subscribers than in the second loan when over 40, 1000 individual subscribers were registered. In the different factories 39,243 persons have pledged them selves to buy bonds totalling $2,628,- 25o.

CLAIM THIEVES STOLE WATCH
 OF DEAD MAN

Friends of the late Charles Herrick whose body was found few days ago in a garage at 667 Noble avenue be- side his automobile, now come for ward and say that the deceased had a valuable gold watch and chain as well as $40 in cash beside other valuables. When the body was found there was nothing of value discovered in his clothing, and the evidence produced by friends seems to point to robbery.
 That Herrick met with foul play is hardly likely as the medical examiner pronounced his death as being due to natural causes, but the police are un- der the impression that someone dis covered the body before it was of- ficially reported and finding the money and valuables made off with them leaving the body to be discovered and reported by someone else.
