tisation Findings to Presi-
dent Harding.

+ Insistence on its original report Of
the increase of pellagra in the south
was made by the public health SER
vice in a communication to President
| Harding. AS result of a special
Investigation conducted at the re-
quest of the President, Surgeon Cen
eral Cumming reported that food
shortage in the southern states has
assumed the proportions of famine
tonly in a scientific. restricted sense"
Ebut undoubtedly has been accom-
Epanied by an increase in pellagra.
| The findings of the public health
officials, the report said. were based
flargely on Incomplete statistics sub
mssioners at recent conference
here. In letter to the President
Surgeon General Cumming declared
that, despite the criticism of some
southern officials regarding the ad-
Eministration's course, the information
collected fully confirms. in my opin :
ion, the position of the public health
service with respect to the increase
tof pellagra in various parts of the
SOUTH"

Elemental information accompanying
the surgeon generals letter was
summarized as follows last night in

increase Of pellagra this year in Ala

South Carolina. Some evidence also

Estimates indicate 5000 deaths and
100000 cases of pellagra in the coun-
try in 1921"
Failure to diversity crops is blamed
by the surgeon general for the food
situation throughout the south. which
he advised the President was acute

lca1ly complete diet" such as is re.

Centerx About Two Points.
"It quickly became apparent
the interest of the assembled health
officers centered principally abou
two points,: First. the basis for hold
ing that there existed an increased
prevalence of pellagra; second, the
use of the word famine" in describ.
ing the causitive conditions.
so far as the first point is con
cerned. all the health officers present
with the exception of the state health
officer of Mississippi. stated that nc
freliable morbidity statistics were
available for their states. In Missis'
