TO STUDY PEAGRA. Conference of Doctors Will be Held in Columbia During Fair Week to Study New Disease. Columbia. Oct. 20.-At the meet irg of the State board of health held in Columbia last week the members considered the advisability of hold ing a conference on pellagara during fair week. The decision was left with Dr. C. F. Williams, secretary. Although the time is short. Dr. Williams has decided to invite all members of the medical profession, as well as others who mav be inter ested in what will hereafter be known as the pellagra problem, to meet in Columbia. Thursday. Oct. 29th. The program will im-lmde a clinic to be held at the State hospital for the insane' at 2 p. m.. on that date. Following this papers on pellagra will be read and a genera. discussion held. Physicia.ns in other States have been especially invited. Among these may be mentioned Surgeon C. . Lavinder. of the U. S. Public Health and Marine Hospital service: r. John McCampbell, of the Mor anton. N. C.. Hospital for the In ane: Dr. I. M. Taylor, of the Broad oak's Sanitarium. Morganton, N. C.: r. E. J. Wood, Wilniington, N. C. N. E. Moore. Augusta. Ga..; Dr. H. Harris. secretary Georgia State d of Health. Atlanta; Dr. G. H. cy, superintendent Bryce Hospi for the Insane, Tuscaloosa, Ala.; Isadore Dyer. dean Medieal De ent of Tulane University. New ns. These gentlemen have al v shown especial interest in work iut the pellagra problem, by writ ing papers on the subject. In a recent pamphlet issued by the United States Public HAalth and Ma rine hospital service Surgeon C. H. Lavinder says that within recent years there has appeared in our Southern States a disease. which he thinks may be possibly true pellagra and he further remarks that the.-? is reason for believing that perhaps this disease may be quite prevalent but. unrecognized. "Since it is of a ser ious nature." he a ads, "and epide mic in charaeter, knowledge cncern ing it is becoming of much i inport anece to the American physician and -more especially to the practitioner in the Southern States.'' Casps have been reported from Georgia, Alabama, Texas, South Car olina and North Carolina. Examina tion of .these report, says pDr. Lavin der, seems to show deftinitely that probably for several years past there have appeared ein the South United States sporadic casces of an uinrecog nizable natu,re, resembling pellagra and that within the clast year or two the disease has increased rapidly in the number of eases and in the extent of territory involved, though in some respect the disease seems to differ from the pellagra of the old world, it bears a close resemblance to it. The ases are mostly acute 'and trhe mor tality is high. ''If,'' says Dr. Lavinder, ''the cause of pellagra is accepted as a diet 'of spoiled maize, the American maize cro'p must within recent years have undergone a decided change in some respect,'' for maize has always been very extensively used as food in the Southern United Startes and pellagra has not appeared in' former years. He properly 'remarks athat this con tinues to edvance. 'There can be no doubt that such a staple article of food as Tndi-an corn is in this counntry must not be allowed even to a limited extent to degenerate into a source of 'ous disease. ''We -take it,'' sarys a writer in the w York Medical .Thurnal. ''that t ought to be found out first lai Lure of the change wh;iceh n:ay have en place in the grain, whieh is geni 1 .thought to be affected by some ngus. The department of agricul tre, which perhaps has already giv en a.ttention to the matter, may cer tainly be counted on to conduet what ever investigations may be requir Tihe subject of pellagra was pre sented before the Alabama Medical Soiety in 190r7 in a brief paper by r. C. H. Searey, of Mount Vernon. t June a ''Symposiam'' on pella was held at Winston-Salem dur the session of the North Carolina jeal aar.oeiation. wQhen valuable rs were read by D)r. McCamrpbell, ood and others. he meeting in Columbia is in line th the efforts being made by many sieians to obtain light upon what for over a century and a half has been an ob.care baffling to t.he medi cal profession of Southern Europe. A cordial invitation is extended to members of the medical profession to at!end this confecrence. The final program will be announc ed laer. A Double Play. A London urchin ran into a baker ] shop and, placing a half-penny on the i counter, asked nervously and timor ously: "Mister, 'ave you a 'alf-pen ny buster (bun?"') "Yes my little man; here is one quite hot." "Thanks, mister, would you wind a-shovin' it down my back?" "'Co' sir. I *in only a little 'un, and if those chap outside know I've a buster they'll take it, and I am so 'ungry. I am. "Dear me: how wrong of them! Come around here. my little chap. There-there. it is down your back.'" The boy ran off. In an instant an other enterpd-a bigger boy. "I say. mister. 'as a little boy just been in ?ere?' "Yes.' "And did 'e buy a 'alf-penny bus ter?" "Yes.'' "And did 'e arsk you to shore it down 'is back. as us big fellows would take it?' "Yes. "Yah! Where's your watch and chain? 'E's got 'em; 'e's just around the corner." Out rushed the baker. In a trice the big boy collared the till a.nd bolt ed. The shopman never :aw the comic side of it all.-Strand. The Standard Warehouse Company Bees to Annouine,: 1st.
