land, is Bell island, sold by its
original owner many years ago
for 500. Soon afterwards 1t
changed hands again, for $1,000

This enormous rise In value
was due to the accidental dis
cOvery that the island is COM
posed almost entirely of iron
ore.
For years previously shipmas-
ters had been In the habit of
taking the heavy. easily handled
rock for ballast. dumping 1t ov-
erbOard with the utmost uncOn-
cern when they loaded up with
cargo.

curious than the others. had the

with subsequent peeling with or with out the formation of blister. Often the inflamed skin turns to a somewhat dirty brown, frequently parchment like, then quickly becomes rough and scaly or cracks and peals.
 In many cases, however, the initial redness is not noticed and odes not occur, the first symptom being the dirty looking scaly patch of skin.
 Pellagra has preference in mak- ing it's first appearance on the body. In adults the backs of the hands and in children the backs of the feet are it's favorite places. Another peculiar quality of the disease is it manner of q appearing simultaneously on both s.des of the body parts ai ctcd. If ,ne back of one na ;d one elbow, one knee, one side of the neck, or one cheek is affected. then usually the other side is also affected.
 Other suspicious symptoms are ner- vousness, dizziness, headaches, burn- ing feeling in the mouth, reddened tongue, loss of strength.
 If pelagra is suspected, consult your doctor at once. Red Cross Chapters and health agencies will furnish fur ther information.
