Bob Newby proposed that the

He suggested that football rela.
tions be renewed with Episcopal
High, Of Alexandria, Va. The first
high school game in the District
was played in 1884 between these
two elevenS, with Episcopal win
ming, $50. The teams last clashed
in 1919, with Central triumphing.
Episcopal, however. has eight games
already arranged and informed
Newby It was impossible to cancel
any. Tech High, of Atlanta, Ga,
wants to play Central here.
The musty files at Central show
that the team, in those days known
as Washington High" played
Georgetown and Maryland Aggies,
now Maryland University. The
Hilltoppers beat Central, 1910, in
1885, but Central mastered the
Maryland Aggies, 1870, at College
Park. Nd, in 1888.
Guy Oyster, who captained
the Central eleven of 1896, was
one of the Old-timers present.
He is the father Of Tom
Oyster, Tech High guard, who
was placed on the 1927 District
all.high eleven. The elder
Oyster lays claim to inventing
the helmet.
He contracted typhoid during the
summer and. upon his return to
this city, decided to forego football.
A committee prevailed upon him to
change his mind and he reported
for practice. He had shaved his
hair from his head and his bald
pate gave the appearance of an
older person. He devised the
scheme of wearing two stocking
caps which were held in place by
"A harness. He regrets he never
patented his idea.
Central, Western and Eastern

cornmeal, hominy grits, white wheat
flour, white rice, dried beans, salt
pork, sorghum or cane molasses and
collards, or greens" Apparently
there is in it too little Of some inn
portant vitamin to prevent the ap.
pcarance Of pellagra.
This vitamin is believed to be
present in nearly if not quite all
natural foods except the oils and
fats. There is little in cornmeal,
white flour or rice, but great deal
in lean meat and powdered yeast.
Milk is one of the most valuable
single foods for the prevention Of
pellagra, but when lean meat, yeast,
vegetables and fruits are not in the
diet, at least quart of milk must
be taken every day to provide an
adequate amount of vitamin.
Potatoes and Fruits
The yolk Of the egg contains
good deal of the preventive SUBJ
stance. Such vegetables as pota-
toes, turnips, string beans, tomatoes,
cabbage and spinach, as we'll as the
fruits, contain the vltamln, buC In
relatively small amounts.
Thus nearly two pounds Of toma-
toes or a quart of canned tomato
juice are needed to have the same
preventive effect as quart of but
termilk or a half pound of lean meat
or an ounce Of powdered yeast.
DR.. Goldberger recommends one
ounce of powdered yeast a day for
an adult, or half of this for a child
under twelve years Of age, for the
control of the disease in those on bad
diets or in persons who already show
symptoms. The yeast may be given
in milk, tomato juice or fruit juices
with additional benefit from the
drink itself. ''In the average case"
he says, 1.-THE patient, if carefully
fed, will be fully convalescent in
from six to twelve weeks"

County Government
( Mortified News


The Minneapolis Journal describes county
government aS "thc most archaic in America
next to the towns County government as it
exists even IN enlightened Minnesota is worse
than simply an ancient relic. We should make
10 exception whatever in ndlcting it as the
least efficient, the most wasteful, and the most
neglected governmental institution in America
today.
One Of the difficult phases Of any effort to
reform county government lies in the fact that
the average citizen knows next to nothing
about II. lie may be aroused now and then by
sn isolated case Of corruption or waste in coun-
y affairs but then his slogan is Throw the
lustals out, and he pays virtually no attention
~ improving the system which breeds more Of
the same variety OF men and events.
Moreover, the matter of reform of our sys-
tenn Of county government is not merely an in
terestmg subject for academic discussion. 1t
Is obvious that unless local government in
America functions well and sustans the
righteous demand Of the people for its sound
conduct, the whole governmental fabric Of the
republic is weakened. When an organic disease
threatens the system, sugar-coated pills are no
longer effective

Although Faith had planned, in
those long, sleepless hours of the
night, to slip out Of Joys bed before
her little sister had awakened, she
had not counted on the fact that at
camp Joy had been accustomed to
rise at half past six. And in spite
Of her dsmay at being caught, Faith
could not be wholly sorry, for there
was a flash Of incredulous delight in
the child's eyes when they flew open
upon her adored big sister.
"You stayed all night with me,
didn't you, Faith?' She cried, hug
ging Faith ecstatically. "You thought
I'd be lonesome without my mama,
didn't you, Faith? Oh, do love you
SO much!"
Eyes, darling, but go back to sleep

"It's awfully early. We mustn't

At half past seven promptly she
heard Bob enter the bathroom; then
above the rush Of water into the tub
she heard him whistling cheerfully,
the tune he always Whistled while
shaving-''I wander today Ger the
hills, Maggie" again anger and
bitterness swept over her in a hot
tide. He could eat; he could sleep;
he could whistle as if nothing what
ever had happened. When at last
she heard their bedroom door slam
and she knew he had gone to get the
morning paper from the front porch.

the pretty printed percale housedress

which she had determined to move
her clothes as soon as Bob had left
the house, she took extra pains with
her hair and her face, even going sc
far as to use little rouge to hide
the pallor which a nights sleepless-

In the area south Of the Potomac
and the Ohio rivers and Aindeed in
many other portions Of the south
particularly, the disease known as
pellagra is still significant cause
Of death and Of disability.
In this condition there is typi-
cal eruption on the skin, associated
with loss Of strength, Indigestion
nervousness, dizziness, vertigo, head
ache and burned or scalded feeling
of the mouth and tongue. In small
percentage Of the cases the mind
is disturbed sufficiently to demand
asylum care but the exact relation
ship Of the mental disturbance Of the
disease has not been accurately de-
termined.
As DR.. Joseph Goldberger Of the
United States Public Health Service
emphasizes in q recent consideration
Of the subject, the disease is rarely
seen in persons who eat much meat
or who drink fresh milk regularly.
Comes With Poverty
The disease may occur in any
one but the poor are the chief suf-
ferers. When the cost Of food in
creases greatly the incidence Of this
disease rises rapidly.
Investigations made in man,
places lend increasing support te
the opinion that pellagra is the
result of living on an unbalanced
diet and that people who eat q
mixed, well-balanced and varied diet
do not have the disease.

PROHIBITION SAES LIVES
Charbonneau, N D.,
Sept. 26. 1927

Sept 20, 1917
Editor Tribune:
The Woman's National Committee
for Law Enforcement are pointing
out some Of the results Of prohibi-
ton which are particularly interest
ing to motherhood. They quote the
Mutual Life Insurance company as
authority for the fact that deaths
from all important causes have de-
creased and that the last year OF
record was the healthiest in the ma
tons history. The census bureau
figures ane cited to show that prohi-
bition has saved million lives, and
that infant mortality has definitely
declined.
The census figures are again cited
to show that crime has decreased
37.7 per cent per capita, and that
drunkenness has declined 55.3 per
cent since prohibition, while alco-
holic insanity fell off IS per cent
during the first three dry years.
The report of the Salvation Army,
covering 80 cities, shows that
drunkenness has decreased from 30
per cent to l per cent as a cause for
charity, and applications for aid
have decreased by half.
Every condition that has to do
with home and child welfare has
shown improvement undel prohibi-
ton. Therefore these women arc
making a vigorous campaign to pre-
vent the nomination Of any man for
president or other administrative
office who is blind to these benefits,
or who refuses to put himself on
i record in favor Of the prohibition
law.

The Child Driver
ll ANTON NeWSl

Youth, with its visions high as the stars, it's
courage, SO brave that it borders on reckless
ness, It's boundless enthusiasm that will send
boys 10 span the skies between the continents
and make girls accept the challenge of the Eng
llsh channel and dare to brave it's waters, is
glorious time. But because of the lack of the
discretion which only years of experience can
bring, it is necessary for those who are older
and wiser to control the activities Of those who
have not felt the need of tempering the life
urge.
Youth, ii left alone, will kill itself rather
than storing dynamic force against the day
when it can be properly guided into paths Of
service instead of being broken in useless paths.
Therefore, the juvenile court, the sheriff and
police department are to be congratulated in
efforts to break up the use of automobiles by
young children.
State laws prohibit children under 16 years
Of age from driving motor vehicles and provide
that any adult furnishing car to- a minor may
be prosecuted. If the condition is serious
enough to warrant such law, that law should
be enforced. II it IS not, it should be struck
from the statute books. Laws are made to be
enforced, not broken, and the child-driving
problem is one that requires the cooperation OF
the entire community.
Children, under the age Of liz, have not had
essary background Of understanding needed
when one controls a motor vehicle over the
highways. They will take a chance though
the margin Of escape is slim, simply because
they are young, and youth demands it. There
fore, it is the duty Of the community to safe
guard them against their own daring to keep
its hands on the steering wheel until they have
reached the age when they can judge sanely
and accurately.
