Messing the Alpine Ropes

Every summer at the beginning Of
the climbing season Id the Swiss noun
tnins, a solemn service is held among
the guides, many a whom are godly
men who know they take their lives
in their hands when they ascend the
Alps, So they bring their ropes with
them and lay them at the foot Of one
Of the mountains, Old and new ropes
are piled in hemp, and then they are
blessed by the pastor. Prayer is Of
fered that the old ropes may still bear
the strain safely and that the new
ropes may prove equal to all the stress
placed upon them. The guides are
commended to the mercy Of God that
in their daily ascents they may Be kept
safe and that they may succor the
travelers who trust in them. n. ii.

Famine at Home

The 100000 people in the Southern
States who are suffering from pell-
agra are not hungry. They have
enough bread and salt pork to satisfy
hunger. The famine aspect of this
disease is the lack of fresh vegetables,
cereals and milk. 1t can be prevented
and cured by a proper diet aided by
living under sanitary conditions. The
people in the states where pellagra is
wide spread plant one crop. They
plant cotton on every available foot
of ground, because of it's return in
money. In prosperous seasons, they
buy sufficient variety of food to help
out somewhat, their limited diet
When there is little or no money, the
variety is lacking. The Public Health
Service estimate that this year will
probably bring from 5000 to 10000
deaths, has reused the country to a
program of relief, and education re.
garding proper diet.
The name pellagra comes from the
Italian and means rough skin, one OF
the symptoms of the disease being
brownish eruptions on the face ant
hands. Other symptoms are lassitudt
and mental disturbances sometime.
