you see it does seem as il the people
themselves should be a little more care

Here is another thing they told me

Travel Club never to do. and that is to
address letter to a street corner, for
many times the routes Of the mail mon
start from or end at a corner. and they
have to try all four of them to get one

many people leave off the state on a let

some towns are in every state in the
Union, and as one man told me, with a
laugh, they should put mind reading
test in the civil service examination in
order to handle some mail.

short cuts to putting the proper address

me Of some home work had to do but,

Washington.
DEAR PALS: Honest, I hardly BE-
lieved It could be true. but there are
twenty people in the post office in WASH
inston that do nothing but try to cor
rect the mistakes people make when
they write on an envelope. This has got
to be so bad that is why you see the
slogan on your stamps which reads,
Address Your Mail to Street and Num-
ber."
Would you believe that last year the
Washington post Office gave what they
call directory service to 2.230.121
pieces Of mail. and il you divide this by
the number of days in year that it
makes about 1000 pieces a day to be
handled? Every member Of the Junior
Travel Club can see how that slows Up
the mail and you can try to imagine
what that means in city like Chicago
o. New York too. / was told that 1t
even reant more in smaller places
where they do not have as much help as
they do in the larger cities.
With all the talk about how to mail
letters, the report to Postmaster
Chance here in Washington shows
that Of the 2.230.124 pieces Of the
kind I just mentioned $4,000 pieces
did not have any return address on.

composed of too much cereals even wholesome
cereals. In short, it is akin to scurvy and is the
outcome of unbalanced ration rather than an
inadequate ration. Or as the dettians say it is
from ration minus one "vitamine' essential to
health
| Where people subsist mainly on diet of bis
cult corn bread, grits, gravy and syrup, with
little or no milk lean meat, there pellagra
may develop, for they have too much cereals,
starches and fat and too little essential protein
and fresh fruits and vegetables.
There is nothing mysterious about pellagra.
Experiments carried out by the United States
Public Health Service in seven mill communities
put preventive and remedial program to con-
elusive test.
Our studies have taught US that in the aver
age case very definite clinical improvements may
be observed after about ten days or two weeks on
an appropriate Diet state the health authorities
They have verified the indication that pellagra
runs concurrently with reduction or lack of
milk consumption, and, conversely, that pellagra
declines as the milk supply increases
Pellagra in the South appears to be due to sew
eral circumstances, any one of which may be
corrected, The Southern population is largely
lem of milk supply is serious, The lack of la,ge
dairy herds, inadequate methods of milk distri-
button, climatic conditions that hamper the
keeping of fresh milk and dearth of refriger-
alton facilities, all tend to reduce the milk con-
sumption.
Investigation shows that pcllagra reaches its
peak in June, and from then on declines, ndcat-
ing that the disease gets its grip during the
months when fresh vegetables and fruit are lack
ing, declining as these become cheaper and more
plentiful.
While the South can, and doubtless will, un-
dertake measures which will reduce the number
OF pelagra victims immeasuraby the cure lies
largely in the hands of the installation of more
dairy and truck farming products, diet is placed
on more balanced basis in remote sections and
crowded districts in the city, pelagra, authori-
ties say, speedily will be wiped out.

MYSTERY WHERE THERE IS NO MYs

|TERY-One of the curious things about men
who have things to sell, from the man who has
a good, eatabe currant bun on his counters to
nm who has $4,000 machine on the market is
that many OF them look on advertising as some
thcing mysterious. Indeed there are some who
hedge 1t about with so much mysticism that thew
soon engender ncreduilty and therefore do not
advertise at all Such men are their own worst
enemies
But where do you find reader of advertise
mentS who looks upon them as mysteries? No.
where he great mass of people who read news
papers and magazines, look on advertisements
with much the same spirit that they do on the
news, reading features editorials and stories
The trouble with that man who has something
to sell and who considers advertising as something
mysterious, is that he has an entirely wrong view
OF the subject. There can be no mystery in an
MISUNDERSTANDING whose greatest power
comes from playing in the open.
Lies and misrepresentation in ADVERTISING are
splendid routes to the poor house 1t is easily
proved that it is far-FAR AWAY-more profi
table to tell the truth every time in an advertise
ment
NO great education is needed to prove the truth
OF the effectiveness of advertising If the man
who is in doubt about it, or who looks on adver-
tsing as mystery, will make I'D his mind to give
10 hours of his life-ONLY TEN HOURS-to a
reading study of its value. he will get all the edu-
cation he needs.

WORLD WIDE DISARMAMENT A NECES.

SITY-President Harding is making a bigger
bid to immortal fame with his disarmament con-
ference proposals than even Woodrow Wilson
did with his League of Nations dream Dsarm-
ament is an international necessity. The world
must disarm cease to progress. War has be-
to costly in and treasure to make it
longer profitable to nations and when it is no
longer profitable, nations will no longer engage
in it. All wars have been waged for profit The
dreamer and ideast may sing to the contrary
until their voices crack and the lingo may shout
his hypocracies until the wclkin rings and rings
again but the bitter truth will stand-wars are
waged for profit, all wars, defensive or offensive.
Armaments are not built for peace, that collosal
absurdty of logic not longer be swallowed
by wounded and bleeding world, by people
whose backs are near broken with war ard arm
ament taxation and whose hearts are full with
the sorrow for the boys who have died.
Our civilization and the progress of humanity
depends on the education of the little children
who are born into this world, whether they be
yellow or brown white. The world can move
only SO tar as the average of these children is
raised over the average of the children of the
previous generation. Civilization lifts itself by
ITS own bootstraps in its forward march through
Time 1t builds its own future and its own sal
vation To do this requires wealth There is
limit to the earth's production of wealth. There
can be only certain number of billions of dol
lars produced and from these billions only GER
tam number of millions can be spared bv the
earners to pay the cost of government through
taxation. Overspending for one thing means un-
derspendng for another thing For the last few
years the world has been immensely overspend-
ing Tor war AS a result, education has suffered
he minds of little children have been starved in
order that the business of war might prosper
If the present pace is to be maintained we had
better shake off all pretense that we are living for
peaceful advancement and admit that the earth
IS living and organized for the one great bust
ness of We had better bark back to the
days and laws of Lycurgus and build men, as
the Spartans did, for war. We had best pass I'M
1versal CONSUMPTION laws and put every able bod
led young man in a uniform, arm him TO
the teeth and send them to fight and keep them
lighting. If we are to keep ourselves continually
Just one step from bankruptcy in order to main
tam vast ornaments, let us use them Let us
conquer the earth and make other peoples paw
tribute to our strength.
Or else let us cease this militaristic INSANITY
Let us scrap these giant floating fortresses and
use the tons OF good metal to build railroads and
tractors and riding plows' Let us use our nitrates
and our dynamite and other explosives to build
canals where canals are needed and drain orr
Swamps and lrrigate deserts and then let the
peoples OF the earth who are starving and out of
work get the land and produce.

Georgia should certainly feel proud of it's bril-
liant and versatile state legislature. It can tax
art out of existence in Atlanta, where Lord knows
1t is needed tell learned physicians few things
about pellagra, and save the state by killing its
school system just as easy as saying Jack Rob-
lnSon or Clayt Robinson. 1t can decide on a
moments notice that it knows better what the
people want than the people know themselves
and refuse them the right to vote on matters Of
public interest. In fact it goes into the real es-
tate business, grand opera, medicine, education,
and whatnot and all with equal eclat facility and
success, Hail to the Georgia legislature Some
