Sometime ago there was a good deal I J- xsmi v-trJc PAM- I * oi cuscussiuii guuig nit ivuuuo w. | cerning the recurrence/of pellagra in ] j ? the South. The suggestion had beenjj made we believe by the United States1! I 1 Public Health Service, or some such; j governmental agency, that ^ the dis-11 ease was likely to recur in the South, j | the cause being the fact that the j country was passing through & pe- j riod of^epression, which meant want j j and near-starvation to many, and j this would have the effect of making j I more cases of pellagra. ; At the time a good many people i in the South were disposed to criti- ! cise severely those responsible for J the suggestion. It was taken by the j politicians as a "hit" at the South, j A good many other people took the [ same view. Others thought that the , suggestion had come as a warning,' and that it was timely. Several news-|[ papers advised that the wise thing jj under the circumstances was not to! start a controversy with anyone, but i ' to find out the truth as. the likely ap-' pearance of the disease, and to take steps to prevent its spread. It appears now that these last referred to were wiser than the others. A IvaoA*y fko oc frnm roll. able physicians that the disease isj again manifesting itself in this section. One of-the best informed phy> sicians irT this county has declared in the last few days that the number \ of pellagrins is growing, 4nd that by "* spring of the year he expects to see more cases of the disease. He fears this because, as stated, a great many people will have nothing to eat except sorghum syrup and home ground .* corn meal, and a constant diet of this will contribute to the spread of the disease. We think that there is ground for j these fears. A good many people are I ( fortunate enough to have planted sor- | ghum and corn in the spring in suf- j ncient quantities to have bread and | syrup at home for the winter months, j It was the more thoughtful who did this. Many will not have even this much tot begin the winter on, but we can nevertheless understand that a ^ diet alone of sorghum syrup and corn bread might mean trouble to the people who subsist on it. A good many people have potatoes, both white and sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes are said to be a well-balancI ed diet, and those people who have been fortunate enough to produce them should use them along with other thines. Milk is also deemed an I essential to good health anjl one of j the best preventatives against pella- j gra. The crops being gathered, there < will be work to be done, and the peo- . pie from time to time may beable to ! secure other things to help along, ! that^is those who are sorely pressed | may do so. We advise that they do j ' >/ * I A recurrence " of peilagra, as we ] formerly had it in this section, is ] greatly to be dreaded. While the d;s- j ease is not fully understood, enough , is known of it to convince those best ' j informed that the diet has a great ] deal to do wth its cause, and as well j of its cure. Knowing this, jjfcopte I should not try to fight hard times by i subsisting, alone on one or two things eatable. The menu should be varied, though simple and frugal. A good cow at every home with plenty of milk and butter will go further to balance things than anything else. Encouraging the Young Folk. (Laurens Advertiser) High school football is being fos-j tered by some mighty big people in! the state, as evidenced by the prom- i inent citizens who have aceompan-j ied teams to Laurens during the past j few weeks. With the Abbeville | youngsters several weeks ago came along Col. William P. Greene, editor -of the Press and Banner, and with i the Gaffney eleven last week w found that old sport, Col. Ed. H. D Camp of the .Ledger. And then, som times, the editor of The Advertise may be found on the side-lines. B folks! It is well that the elders, lil the two above, are taking a hand the game and helping to keep it on high plane. The youngsters need little directing sometimes to ke< them straight and it is better f< 31 S Mc | New Xj< I j We are now re i | .carried-over go( E! cotton.
