PELLAGRA, NEW STRANGE DISEASE
Recently two deaths are said to have occurred near
Albany from pellagra, a disease which Dr. Harvey Wiley,
in a current magazine, declares is "more to be feared than
leprosy."
The public health service of the United States has been
investigating the subject of pellagra, of which there were
75,000 cases 'in 1915, ten per cent of them fatal.
"A new and strange disease," writes Dr. Wiiey, "which
causes 7500 deaths in a year cannot be looked upon with
indifference. Yet it is one which may be readily controlled.
It is not an incurable disease. It is neither contagious
nor infectious. It is a disease which fastens itself upon
a system which has not been properly nourished. The
healthy human being who has an opportunity of choosing
his food in reasonable abundance is not likely to suffer
from papellagra." , .
The results of the Public Health Service experiments
indicate a preventive for the 'disease namely, a diet con-laininp-
nlentv of m-otein. People who live largely upon
carbohydrates are likely to incur pellagra, which, says one-
physician, is not a disease wunin nseu, out an eAjit&iuu
of metabolic perversion without a single foreign cause."
The technical language may be interpreted simply:
Eat plenty of proteids which is to say, meat, milk, butter,
eggs, beans and peas. It is not the corn-products in them
b.Ivps which are responsible for pellagra. They are good
food. It is the absence of the protein-bearing which ought
to: go with the corn and other grain products.
Dr. Wiiey says vegetarians can avoid pellagra by eat
inrr nlentv of beans, peas, whole wheat bread and milk.
i This is an easy enough solution from the hygienic point
of' view. There is still the economic question of how the
people who have been contracting the trouble in such large
numbers are to earn enough to enable them to buy the
proper food.

baggage. The doctor says he has proved the truth of
this in several cases. Time was when stagnant water was
supposed to be the cause of typhoid fever, but later ad
vices blame the "skeeter." The fact that the stagnant
water was the breeding place of the mosquito, that was
the real disseminator of the disease, was what gave the
water 'a bad name, that really belonged to it only in a re
mote way.
Secretary Lansing has found it necessary to file com
plaint with the governor of California over the practice
of State Secretary Jordan, of issuing letters of introduc
tion to Californians who travel abroad, addressed "To
whom it may concern:" and asking that the traveller be
"extended every courtesy." Lansing says . the letters
cause the department much embarrassment as the bearers
consider them passports and he also intimates that Secre
tary Jordan is "butting in." The California secretary
says he is not "butting in" and grows rather sarcastic
over Lansing's letter. Question: If Jordan instead of
answering harshly had turned the other cheek, would
that have put Secretary Lansing on "the other side of
Jordan?"
Senator Oscar Underwood was Thomas F. Ryan's guest
at a dinner recently where $12,000,000,000 of incorporated
capital was represented and at which he was mentioned
as a presidential possibility. A poor place to launch a
democratic boom.

The patriarch who has attained his "three score and

But these specialists, who talk so learnedly, are, after

years himself.
For more thousands of years than can be computed
men have made it their principal concern to live-just as
long as they can. Precious few, in modern times at least,
have succeeded in passing 100 years. So the secret cannM

And really it doesn't matter as much how long we live
