FEWER CASES OF
 PELLAGRA SHOWN
 HERE LAST YEAR

Montgomery, July l9.-(Special)- Investigations made by pr. Fl. c. Perry registrar of vital statistics of the state health department, follow ing the publication Tuesday of dis patches from Washington announcing 2 drive against pellagra in the south developed the fact that the disease has been greatly curtailed during the past year. During 1919, SIS cases and 517 deaths were reported to the bureau of vital statistics, while this number was reduced to 42s cases and sS0 deaths in 1920.
 Reports of the disease since 1913 show that crop and financial condi- tions of the nation have had much to do with the increase or decrease in the number of cases of the disease. When crop conditions are good and fthere Is plenty of money for the pur- chase of varieties of food pellagra is .xreatly reduced, while each year (which follows bad crop year shows an increase in the disease. Dr. & w. Weich, state health officer, also has found that the development of war gardens during the war did much to reduce the disease Pellagra is attributed to the eating of inferior foods and the lack of varieties and is more prevalent in communities where the proper foods are not easily obtainable.
 The records of pellagra for 1913. |1el4 and 1915 are estimated from in 'complete reports. while those for the lotber years through 1920 are based on actual reports obtained by the bureau of vital statistics from all counties of Alabama. The number of cases and deaths from pellagra from 1913 to 1920, inclusive. follow.

"SCRAP IRON." WITH
 CHARLES RAY AT RIAITn

picture that has been called Charles Rays surprise for movie fans. Scrap Iron," is certainly dif- ferent from any previous Ray ap- pearance. It is intense drama and yet it is assuredly comedy.
 It is a struggle between the desire to weep and the desire to laugh. To laugh while poor Scrap Iron" bfeeds in battle with the champion pugilist of his town to win bread for his Another Is as out of place as laugh ing in church. Yet it is all so com ical withal, the fight and the reoep- tion and treatment of Scrap Iron' by the crowd who have nicknamed him, that the desire to laugh out weighs every other emotion.
 Charles Ray is more lovable, more serious and more laughable than in any other appearance.
 Aside from story and acting. the producers of Scrap Iron" deserve special credit. They have managed every detail so as to illicit the great est amount of suspense and sympathy for the hero before the great mo- ment. and held off the outcome, The fight with the pugilist is fine direc- ton. not few half-hearted digs with the fist, a clinch, and all over. but a real seriou~ fight of several earnest rounds.
