among local physicians. Later, how
ever. the research work here ex
,loded this theory las the disease
was found to exist in sections where
The buffalo gnat was not to be
found.
Many physicians attributed the
disease to too much eating of corn
but the Investigations were dis,
closed that the disease existed
among many people who ate little
or no corn, while no traces of the
disease could be found in many
homes where the diet was largely
composed of corn.
Poor Diet Cause
1t has been incontrovertibly
established by the local investiga'
tors that pellagra is caused by a
wrong, Unbalanced combination of
foods, and the workers here have
Systematically conducted a cam
paign to educate the people con-
cerning proper diets.
In 1916, sixty cases of pellagra
in it's worst form were found in one
small cotton mill village here, while
now there are only eight cases, and
every one of these is rapidly re-
spending to change in diet of the
patient.
Doctor Goldberger is declared
the after effects of pellagra were
much worse than the after effects
of Spanish Influenza. After all
active symptoms of pellagra have
disappeared, the patient has invari-
ably experienced frequent and pro-
longed periods of lassitude and
general debility, and in many cases
it has required several years to
build up the patient to his former
state of efficiency.
In the treatment of pellagra,
Doctor Goldberger said milk has
been found to be afactor of inesti-
mable Importance. A slogan parti-
cularly applicable in the local cam
pain against pellagra was Gown a
cow"

Indications to-day are that bonus
bill which will raise the money by four
plans will be reported to the House
the last of this month and will be fore
ed through under a closure rule early
in May. The money will be obtained
by final retail sales tax of I per
cent on commodities and real estate
transfers, a heavy tax on tobacco and
an increase in the income surtaxes.
Opposition to the bonuses, while
late. and therefore likely to be inef-
fective. is taking the form of legisla :
ton to give greater authority to the
War Risk Bureau. which was planned
to obviatc bonuses and pensions
Many members of the American Lc-

URGES BOYCOTT
TO GET SUGAR

New York, April 26.-Asserting that the
lack of sugar for home consumption Is
due primarily to the enormous consump-
ton of sugar by manufacturers of candy
and syrups, Commissioner of Public Mar
kets Edwin J. 'Maley advocated the boy
cotting of candy, soda water and pastry
for the next 30 days. as he believed such
action would result, in the release of OF
least part of their holdings.
Mr.. O'Mallcy announced he had received
from j. 2. Tumulty. secretary to President
Wilson, acknow Judgement of the receipt
of his letter of April % asking the
President to appoint "A sugar equalization
board with full power to fix the price and
regulate the distribution of sugar. Mr.
Tumulty said he would bring the matter
to the attention of the President at once
While sugar was reported to be selling
as high as 80 cents a pound. chain stores
announced they were getting only 20
cents. A representative of Daniel Reeves.
| Inc, said that they could easily dispose
of every pound they had TO dealers over
the telephone in n few minutes for o. cents
a pound. He predicted that the shortage
would soon become more acute.
! Sugar Is selling at "a cents n pound re-
tail in Cuba. according to Sidney Dalton,
orchestra leader. who arrived yesterday
in Brooklyn on the Ward liner Monterey.
| The scarcity of sugar. he said was due to
the fact that the Cubans had sold all their
raw product, and President Menocol has
issued manifesto urging the Cubans to
conserve their supply.
| In n statement issued yesterday on the
sugar supply. Commissioner O'Malley said
in part
| Under system of unregulated private
control of the necessities of life the pub
| lie markets are stripped bare of sugar.
| This condition prevailed during the en-
| tire canning season of last year.
There is plenty of sugar. particularly
| in the export trade.
1.-The homes of the nations are helpless
to get protection or to enforce damages
| for losses.
| "The waste of fruit has been and will
be enormous this year, without suff-
cient supply of sugar for the home can
ming purposes.
| mo obligation exists on the part of any
private interest or public body to exat
the public welfare-to protect our home
food supply.
Does it serve the public welfare to give
unlimited power to private interests to
close the market on food?"

Arthur Oakley. a former officer of the
flying corps. transferred himself from
