I ♦ THE ATLANTA liEUKLHAxN AN1.» NEWS. t i (' ' \ X ATLANTA HOMES OPENED TO WEE |f || ' SCOTCH LAD AND BONNIE SISTERS Despite Two Years’ Research by Learned Commission Disease Remains Mystery. SPARTANBURG, S. C„ Sept. 4.— After two years of research by a corps of twenty scientists, the Thompson-McFadden Pellagra Com mission still is ignorant of tVie cause of the disease. This was announced by Dr. Ward J. McNeal, of the New York Post-Graduate Hospital, at a conference here of Southern physi cians. Nearly two hundred physicians, students of the disease, were here for the conference. They came from nearly every Southern State. Dr. McNeal summarised the com mission’s findings thus: “First, the supposition that the in gestion of good or spoiled maize is the essential cause of pellagra is not supported by our study. “Second, pellagra is in all proba bility a specific infectious disease communicable by means at present unknown. “Third, we have discovered no evi dence incriminating buffalo gnats in the causation of pellagra. If it is dis tributed by a blood-sucking insect, the stable fly would appear to be the most probable carrier. No Specific Cause Found. “Fourth, we are inclined to regard intimate association in the household and the contamination of food with the excretions of pellagrins as possi ble modes of distribution of the dis ease. “Fifth, no specific cause of pellagra has been recognized.” Although none of the assembled physicians was able to suggest a spe cific remedy for the disease, Dr. C. H. Lavinder, of the public health serv ice, Savannah, Ga., declared: “If you remove a pellagrin in the early stages of the disease from the endemic locality of the disease, put him in better surroundings and give him plenty of good, nourishing food, regardless of treatment he will get well and stay well. In view of the high mortality of pellagra and the pessimistic feeling in regard to it this should be a comforting thought to us* It should also be cojnforting that pel lagra is not directly transmissible from one person to another.” Sambon Suspects Gnat. Dr. Louis W. Sambon, head of the School of Tropical Medicine, London, also spoke. Dr. Sambon, chief exponent of the insect theory of dissemination, de clared pellagra rapidly is becoming a subject of world-wide concern. Fif ty-three cases, he said, had been dis covered in the British Isles. Hun dreds of others, he added, probably existed, but had been unidentified be cause of the ignorance of physicians in regard to the disease. Although extensive research work had convinced him, Dr. Sambon said, that pellagra is transmitted by an in sect, he had reached no definite con clusion as to the identity of the trans mitting agent. He suggested that the buffalo gnat seemed a likely suspect, drawing his inference from the fact that the disease spreads most rapidly along flowing streams. An Atlanta Phone In Your Home Is Both a Luxury And a Necessity 81 Cents Per Day ATLANTA TELEPHONE & TELEGRAPH CO. Stranded Trio Joyous as They Hear That They Will Be Given Work. Numbers of Atlnata homes have been opened to the wee Scotch lad and the bonnie lassies since the pub lication in Wednesday’s Georgian that City Wadren Thomas Evans was looking for someone to take them as house servants. The Warden said he would be able to place them all in good homes before Thursday night. Mary, Margaret and David Logan, those are their names, were down at the Warden’s office early Thursday morning, wearing broad smiles. They were joyous over the fact that their bewildering struggling in a strange city was at an end. “We do not know mill work,” said Mary, the eldest, “but we can do house work.” The story of how these young peo ple came from Glasgow, Scotland, to this land of opportunity and met so many bitter disappointments during ten months touched all Atlanta. The uncle who was to provide for them lost all bis money, and they finally had reached Atlanta and took up abode in the Fulton Bag and Cotton Mills settlement. Even there they could not get work because of their inexpeirence. But these sturdy young Scots were not discouraged. They smiled and said they would get work finally. When Warden Evans told them Thursday that several persons would be down ot see them to give them work, their smiles greatly broadened, and they told him how much they ap preciated his help in most charming Scotch accents. From the looks of these young peo ple, some Atlantans are going to get some mighty good servants. Bailiff Kills Woman And Self NearMillen MILLEN, Sept. 4.—Supposedly nurder and suicide, Mrs. Belle New ton and Rufus Bryant, a Jenkins County bailiff, are to-day dead.

Negro Barber Held On ‘Tiger’ Charge W. A. Jones, a negro barber with a shop at No. 35 Ivy street, was arrested Thursday morning on a charge of run ning a blind tiger. The arrest was made by Detectives Cowan and Ozburn, who took into custody the 12-year-old son of Jones when they discovered him carry ing a case of whisky along Ivy street. The <5ase contained 24 half pints of whisky, and when the ^officers questioned the boy he told them ne was on his way to his father’s barber shop Anyway, Season at the Atlanta Theater Is Opened—Some Good Shows Coming. The Atlanta Theater, being a worthy house of entertainment, not to speak of its being the stronghold of the mighty K & E., deserved really a more auspicious opening for the new season than came with the "Mary’s Lamb" production Wednesday night. A certain element of the Atlanta au dience—not the best-paying patrons, either—seemed to enjoy some fea tures o fthe show. The others—well, the spirit of Richard Carle must have been sorely troubled last night. But then there is no place in the world for Invidious comparisons. Anyhow, “Mary’s Lamb" did one thing. The Atlanta Theater was offi cially opened by the performance. A fair-sized crowd *■ came to the first show, regardless of the age of the at traction. and the little promise that the billboards and advance notices held out. Thus the popularity of the Atlanta Theater was proved. And, judging from the contents of the pretentious-appearing program, particularly page 11, on which was the forecast of the season’s attrac tions, almost everything has been done to clinch tha popularity that successful seasons of the past have engendered. Most promising are the shows that have been contracted, the list including some of the most suc cessful productions, with the bright est stars of the American theatrical heavens. Altogether the season bids fair to be successful, even with the—well, let us say the "inauspicious" opening. If all the cast of “Mary's Lamb" had begun to measure up to the Den Mc Grath, the p seudo-successor of Rich ard Carle, the show might have been at least acceptable. But the cast didn’t. Mr. McGrath was a lone fig ure.

B REN A U Conservatory has probably educated more music teachers, who are now occupying responsible and remu nerative positions, than any other institution the South. in nrHE recent addition to the faculty of _/ Dr. Henry G. Hanchett as Principal of the Normal Department still further enlarges the opportunities for young women who desire to secure the very best training. Dr. Hanchett is one of the best known teachers in America to-day, and the fact that he is willing to undertake the Work of teacher training in this institution is another evidence of the fact that Brenau is recog nized as one of the foremost institutions for the study of music in America. D R. Hanchett has made many successful Concert tours of America and has done perhaps more than any other liv ing man to popularize classical music. He is not only a performer of rare artistic finish hut an entertaining lecturer as well, and a distinct feature of all of his recitals is the careful explanation of all the distinguishing characteristics of the numbers which he plays on the piano or the pipe organ, in the playing of which he is equally skilled. D R. Hanchett first outlined a course in musical pedagogy and analysis when a member of the faculty of the Metro politan Conservatory of Music in the city of New York in 1893, and it is a development of this course which he will give at Brenau during the session beginning September 11, 1913, and which he will probably repeat in the summer session beginning in J une, 1914. 7 HE addition of Dr. Hanchett to the faculty undoubtedly gives Brenau the most distinguished coterie of musicians in the South. In addition to Dr. Hanchett the faculty includes Otto Pfefferkorn, who has been head of the piano department for a dozen years; J. T. Sinnette and Benj. F. Havens, who came with Dr. Simmons from Shorter College; Bruno Michaleis, a native of Leipzig and graduate of the famous Royal Conservatory there, and sev eral others. The vocal department, pre sided over by Mrs. Lessie Southgate Sim mons, will maintain its usual high standard. Mrs. Simmons has a rare gift of inspir ing her pupils with the utmost enthusiasm, and she is ably assisted hyMiss Mary Helen Howe, EllmerZoller andMissNellie Laing. r HE normal and theoretical course, which will he offered hy Dr. Han chett and Mrs. Simmons during the year beginning September 11 th, affords unparalleled opportunities for Southern teachers, andjor students who are prepar ing to teach. r HE normal course will embrace a gen eral discussion of the application to musical pedagogy of the following subjects: Sensation; The Brain; Nervous Activity; The Unconscious Man; Habit; Consciousness; Attention; Perception and Conception; Memory and Association; The Sense of Time and Space; Reasoning; Im pulse, Instinct, Volition, Expression; methods of securing Attention; methods of developing Musical Intelligence; methods of enhancing Emotion; methods of improving Action; the Body as the Organ of the Soul; Education is Drawing-out; Aim and End of Teaching. T N CONJ UNCTION with this specif- J cally pedagogical course teachers are offered the course in Musical Analysis, Musical History, Harmony and Solfeggio. AS PREPARATION for self-sus- taining life work a course in music and musical pedagogy at Brenau af fords opportunities which cannot be found elsewhere in the South.
