SPARTANBURG, 8. C, July 18—
After nearly three years of what 1s
éeclared to have been the most thor
ough investigation ever made of any
disease in such a brief period of time,
the Robert M. Thompson Pellagra
Commission, composed of physicians
of the Medical Corps of the United
States Army and Navy and the New
York Post-Graduate School of Med
{cine, with almost a score of assistant
physicians and sclentists, is about to
wind up its work here and turn the
results of its labor over to the United
States Public Health Service.
The principal members of the com
mission, which now is supported
wholly by Colonel Robert M. Thomp
son, of New York, are Joseph F. Si
ler, M. D, captain, Medical Cerps,
I'nited States Army: Philip E. Gar
rison, M. D. passed assistant sur
geon, United States Navy, and Ward
J. Mac Neal, M. D, assistant director,
department of laboratories, New York
Post-Graduate Hospital.
75,000 Viotims in South.
Under the commission’s directions,
epecialists have inquired exhaustive
ly into everything which might re
late even remotely to the subject of
pellagra—the mysterious disease
which, unknown in this country
twenty years ago, now has, accord
ing to Dr. Siler, nearly 75,000 victims
in the South and is filling more
graves, in Spartanburg at least, than
eny other disease.
The possible Influence of heredlity
in pellagra, the possibility of the
transmission of the disease by in
sects, the blood corpuscles of pella
ering, and the psychopathie symp
toms of pellagra all have been studled
minutely. B
S BT MO YW .Y
The disease is filling Southern in
gane asylums, and has become per
haps the most prolific cause of sul
cide in this region.
The commission during the last
three vears has studied the cases of
800 pellagrins in Spartanburg Coun
ty, of whom 28 per cent have died.
With an emergency appropriation
of $47,000 granted by Congress the
Public Health Service has established
a field hospital here to continue the
work done by the Robert M. Thomp
son commission.
What Is Known.
While the Thompson commission
has not definitely established the
cause or nature of pellagra nor found
a specific for its treatment, it has
cleared up the situation to this ex
tent:
It has discredited the theory of
Cesare Lombroso that the disease is
caused by eating spolled, corn.
It has discredited the theory of Dr.
Sambon that the disease is transmit
ted by the buffalo gnat. If any in
sect is to blame for the transmission
of pellagra, the commisgsion finds, it
{s one more . intimately associated
with mankind than the buffalo gnat
—perhaps the body louse.
The commission finds that pellagra
is an infection, but not easily trans
missible from one person to another.
Persons who contract pellagra are us
ually run down in health and unable
to resist it. Children have it mildly
and get over it. It spreads most fre
quently where sanitary conditions are
riot good. The treatment is much the
game as in tuberculosis—plenty of
rest, good food and fresh air. The
disease is at its worst in summer.
During the winter months the symp
toms sometimes seem to disappear,
but the disease will return again
with the advent of warm weather.
The Symptoms.
The symptoms are of thres kinds—
ekin eruptions, dysentery and nervous
affection, frequently leading to Insan
{ty. The disease generally manifests
{tself first by a discoloration closely
resembling sunburn of the skin on the
back of the hands.
The disease seems to be decreas
ing in virulence.
Women appear to be mere subject
to pellagra than men.
It is almost never found north of
the Mason and Dixon line, except In
the case of persons who contracted it
in the South.

Apoplexy Threatens Park Board Here if Mem
bers Ever Take Trip East.
Some of the members of the Atlanta
Park Board ought to go to New York
and look over the adjacent beaches—
say Brighton or T.ong Beach. They
doubtless would ses something inter
esting. And when they got back to
Atlanta, they probably would flee
twittering with embarrassment from
anyone who mentioned sleeves for
bathing and other little ideas which
some people are so unmannerly as to
call twaddle.
They are dancing the tango on the
New York beaches these days. The
women—or those of them whose pro
portiong Justify it—are wearing
basque bathing suits, with skirts that
might as well not be. And some of
them (ah, how the Park Boarders
would frizzle about the ears!) are
wearing half-hose instead of stock
ings—and are of the opinion that it is

Wife, Needing Cash,
Sells Auto for 5 Cents
1.08 ANGELES, July 18.—How a
young wife when in need of money dis
posed of an automobile, given to her
by her husband, for ‘a nickel, came to
light when Mr. and Mrs. D. M. Williams
asked for a warrant for the arrest of
Henry Warren, a moving picture man.
Warren is the man who ‘‘bought” the
machine.
A month ago Mr. Willlams gave a
valuabie limousine to his young wife.
Mrs. Wiliams wanted to go to San
Francisco to visit friends and decided to
sell the car. Warren offered $3OO. She
accepted the offer. Warren told her he
didn’t have the money with him, but
would meet her at the Lankershim Ho
tel and pay her. She said she wanted
gomething down and he gave her a
nickel, saying she could use it for car
fare and get to the meeting place. She
\t'alted, but he didn’t appear.

Fined $5OO for

Taking False Teeth
KANSAS CITY, July 18.—The pen
alty for holding up a man on the
streets of Kansas City, Kans, and
robbing him of his false teeth is $5OO.
A fine of that amount was imposed
on Benjamin Boyd, & negro, there.
HEARST'S SUNDAY AMERICAN, ATLANTA, GA, SUNDAY, JULY 19. 1914
not at all necessary that the same

Beach-dancing—short skirts—half.
hose—and the pulpit rising in majes
tic wrath in denouncement that has
not had one particle of effect thus
far. Father John Belford, a famous
churchman of Brooklyn, went so far
as to say that “for things like this,
Sodom was destroyed by an angry
God. Are we inviting Divine ven
geance? We certainly seem to chal
lenge the Creator.”
But the dancing goes on and seg
ments of the bathing suits continue
to come off; and if the Atlanta Park
Board Is contemplating an educa
tional tour of investigation, to see
what sort of regulations the Eastern
beaches have for their bathers, why,
the Atlanta Park Board would bet
ter make it pretty soon. Even now
the vista of that visit includes ner
vous prostrations and apoplexy.
Does Big Business
'
Selling Young Foxes
KEOKUK, lOWA, July 18.—One of
the most peculiar lines of business ever
conducted in Keokuk is that which C.
B. Pinkerton has been making a side
line. This business is that of buying
and selling live foxes, which are shipped
here from many Western and Southern
States for hunting clubs and individuals
in Eastern and Southern States.
The demand for them is enormous.
H. J. Nichols, of Garden City, Long
Island, N. Y., has placed an order with
Pinkerton for 300 foxes, to be shipped
as soon as they can be secured. Nich
ols, a New York millionaire, owns a
5,000-acre farm on Long Island, and
has fenced in the whole estate with a
wire fence that the animals can not get
through. Pinkerton says the greater
number of animals are sold In New
York. The prices range from $1 to $3.50.

Pellagra Carrier
TOPEKA, July 18—The sand ily

the transmission of pellagra, Profes
sor 8. J. Hunter, of the University of
Kansas, announces.
Professor Hunter allowed a mon
key to be bitten by sand flies that
had bitten persons known to have
pellagra. The animal showed symp
toms of inoculation, he says.

American Bible Soclety.
That part of the Scriptures which
Mr. Mitchell has translated consists
of the book of Genesis, the first, twen
ty-third, twenty-second, fifty-first and
139th Psalms, the fifty-third and fif
ty-fifth chapters of Isaiah, the books
of Mark, John and Romans, the first
and second chapters of The Acts and
tha last three chapters of Revela
tions.
Prepares Vocabulary.
Mr. Mitchell also has prepared a
handbook of 3,000 Navajo words,
translated into the English language,
which was the first effort to translate
the Navajo language into English.
The Navajo is the largest tribe of
Indians in the United States. It num
hers 28,000 members, and they are
the only (Indians 1n the country not
supported by the Government. The
Navajos are self-supporting. They
are farmers on the Great American
Desert, practically all of them being
shepherds. They are very successful
as sheepmen.
Reservation Overcrowded.
While the Navajos have a reserva
tion allotted to them by the Govern
ment, they have long since over
crowded the land set apart for them
and now occupy a territory 300 miles
wide, extending down to the Grand
Canyon of Arizona.
“The Navajos are peaceful citizens,”
Mr. Mitchell said. “They are hard
workers, thrifty, sober and much
more reliable than the other Indian
tribes, hut they certainly do violate
the commandment, ‘Thou shalt have
no other gods before me,’ for the
Navajos worship almost anything
they see, such as hills, mountains, the
sun, moon, darkness, snakes, any
thing that impresses them.
Tongue Is Difficult.
“Their larguage is very difficult to
translate. It is divided into fourteen
different classes. For instance, things
round, or long, or slender, or thin and
flexible, take classes by themselves i
the Navajo lanzuage. Small objects
that can be held in the hand, objects
that are carrlied in a vessel, that
which is alive, that which may be
carried in the arms or piled up—such
as hay or wood, fluids—each take a
class. One root word expresses the
class, and the suffix identifles the par
ticular things within that class. The
verb ‘to give' has 1,500 conjugations.”
Mr. Mitchell went to the Navajo
mission nine years ago.
$27,000 IN COAT OF HERMIT,
CARTHAGE, MISS., July 18.—With
$27,000 tucked away in a hidden pocket
of his coat, the body of F. F. Ferry, a
bachelor hermit, was found by the side
of a highway near here. His neighbors
believed that he was poor.

Registered in Maiden Name, but
Will Be Wed Before Time
Comes to Cast Ballot.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 18.—Most
peopie when taking out marriage l!-
censes are apprehensive about what
the future may hold for them in the
more or less troubled state of matri
mony. Not so with Miss Cora Smed
berg, daughter of the late Colonel and
Mrs. Wm. H. Smedberg, who took ont
license to wed Charles Norton Felton,
Jr., of Menlo Park, son of former
United States Se¢nator Felton,
The only cloud upon Miss Bmed
berg's brow was occasioned by her
anxiety as to whether she would lose
her vote at the forthcoming election
by changing her name prior to that
event.
“How about my vote?’ she anx
iously queried of “Cupid” Munson. “I
am registered under the name of
Smedberg, and as I am to be mar
ried before electlon, will 1 lose my
vote?”
And while the bride and bride
groom-to-be waited “Cupid” lunged
into the lawbooks. He could find
nothing on the subject, however, the
question never having been put in
issue hefore and no ruling therefore
having as yet been made.
“My advice to you would be to go
directly from here to the Register's
office and register as Cora Felton,” he
said. “No one will know the differ
ence, and by the time the election
comes along you will have the legal
right to bear that name. So far as I
can see, it will be all right.”
HAS 3 NAMES WITHIN HOUR.
.EOSHO, MO., July 11,—Mrs. Hen
rietta Seigal, of this county, has the
distinetion of having had three different
names within an hour. She came to
Neosho as Mrs, Henrietta Hillls. She
was granted a divoree, the court restor.

third name, Mrs. Jacob Seigal.

Young Woman Chooses Comfort With

KANSAS CITY, July 18—When the
alternative of her bahy or her family
wa® placed before Mrs, Pearl Baker
in the Juvenile Court, Mrs. Baker,
without a tear, without even a fare
well kiss, gave up her baby and her
husband and went back to her family.
She handed the baby to a court at
tendant, straightened a wrinkle in her
stylish tallored suit and left the
courtroom to board a train for her old
home in Pittsfleld, Mass.
Mrs. Baker i{sx tha daughter of a
widely known family of Pittsfleld and
her sister ig the wife of a State of
ficlal. She was married to Baker
against the wishes of her family, and
they refused to recognize her so long
as she remained with him. Baker was
poor, and they resolved to go West
and make a new start, They came
to Kansas City three months ago. A
few weeks later a son was born.
The husband failed to find steady
employment in Kansas City and two
weeks ago went to the Kaneas har
vest flelds, leaving his wife practically
penniless with neighbors until he
could make some money.
Her family heard of her plight. Im
mediately they telegraphed her a
ticket to Pittsfleld, but on condition
that she give up both husband and
baby. The family had struck the
psychological moment.
Judge Porterfleld made the baby a
ward of the Juvenile Court and it was
put out for adoption.

TAYLORVILLE, ILL, July 18—As
the result of the passage by the Tay
‘lorvme City Council of the most dras
‘tlc anti-liquor ordinance ever put
‘through In the State, and possibly in
the United States, several clubs and
individuals will joln in an action to
test the validity of the new city law.
Thirteen saloons in Taylorville, a
town of 8,000, were voted out May %
but prohibition falled to prohibit,
The new ordinance, fathered by
Mayor Walter Provins, member of
the State Legislaturs, forbids any
citlzen having liquor in his home,
and denies the right of anyone to
take a drink with any other person,
under pena]tif of a fine of $26 to §lOO.
Bill's Provisions.
Thers are seven sections to ths act.
They are, in brief:
1. No citizen shall give another cit
{zen a drink, under penalty of a $25

3. No liquor will be allowed in clubs
or private homes, under penalty of a

Mrs. Carter, of Oklahoma, Trav
els to Get Ideas for Correc
tional Farm. 0
KANSAS CITY, July 18.—Capturing
bootleggers and playing the part of a
real Wild West Sheriff are some of
the tasks of Mrs. Katherine Carter in
her work as welfare officer of Mc-
Curtain County, Oklahoma. Mrs.
Carter i{» im Kansas City visiting
frlends and studying the Board of
Public Welfars hers, She expects to
get ideas for a new correctional farm
to be established soon in her county.
Mra. Carter, who is probation and
truancy officer and a member of the
Board of Guardians, really serves as
a policewoman for McCurtain Coun
ty. Her work takes here to all parts
of the county, and she rides dressed |
in her khaki suit and with a revolver |
{n her belt. She is said to have cap- |
tured more hootleggers than any oth.
er officer in the county.
Learned to 3hoot Straight
How to shoot accurately weas ome |
of the first requirements Mrs, Carter
found that she needd when she took |
up welfare work there. For her first
case she was sent out in the country
from Ida Bell, the county seat, to
bring in a man who had desarted his
family and who was living in the
woods with two women.
On arriving at the place the man
;efu,sod to come, laughing at her or
ers,
“T madfe nmumerous pleas” she eald,
“and finally I was forced to perfo
rate his lege with buckshot. I then|
bandaged them up and had lfm hitch
up the wagon and we all returned to
(Ida Bell. It was a triumphant entry,
for the officers had not expected I
would get my man, To-day that man '
{s one of the best friends I have in
Oklahoma. He egays that experience
taught him respect for me.”
Saves Childrerr From Mllls,
Mrs. Carter has taken an active
interest in the establishment of rural
schools, and in the last two years has
seen 62 such smchools established in
her county. &he has had many chil
dren taken from the mills and placed
in schools.
“Our welfars work in that county
is very hard,” she sald, “and alsc
very much needed, becauge our popu
lation, to some extent, consists of the
descendants of coriminal refugees
from all the surrounding States who
went thers because it is near the
border.. The idea of & woman in this
work was very new to the people at
first, but they have become accus
tomed to it, and I belleve T know
nearly every person in the county.”
Mrs. Carter has such a keen de
tectlve sense that she can always
understand the signals of the boot
ilpggors and can locate iquor that i 3
