"More and Better Hardens" is One Remedy Prescribed. Pellagra, in a fairly developed though not advanced stage, makes itself manifest l>y a variety of symptoms, among which weakness, "nervousness," indigestion and an eruption or "breaking out" form the most distinctive combinations. When the ere put ion first sho'ws (it may be retarded,) it may look very rhuch like sun-burn, or simple weathering or chapping. Sometimes the skin peels, with or without blistering. Inflamed in appearance, the skin often turns to a somewhat dirty brown color. Affected portions frequently resemble parchment. The backs of the hands, in adults, and the tops of the feet, in children are usually, though not always, the first places in which the eruption is noticed. Both sexes and all ages are at tacked, but women, particularly house wives, and children are most susceptible. Varying1 degrees of debility result, leading in some instances to I insunity, and in not a few to death. When any symptom becomes severe, consult your physician for advice and treatment, j Happily, the preventive is definit[ ly known; the prescription is inexpensive, und few are the families to | which it cannot, somehow, be made available, through the goodwill, the counsel, and, in cases, the aid, of | community leaders in thought and aci tion. "More and better gardens" is the first item, the most practicable to realize; "more and better milk cows on farms" is the second; the promotion, generally, of diversified farming is the third. "The suspicion of pellagra may be dismissed as to one who is known to be and to have been an habitual milk drinker and (lean) meat eater." "The disease is due simply to a faulty diet. To keep from having this disease, a proper diet is all that is needed. "People who consume a mixed, well balanced, varied diet do not have the disease." "If all persons provided themselves with a well selected and properly varied diet, there would be no pellagra." In addition to the above. Dried H rowers Yeast is recommended as a valuable addition to the diet for those suffering with the disease. It can be procured front' the Obunty Health Department at the Court House says A. W. Humphries, M. D., county health director. SEES HEAVY CLAIMS ON FUTURE BANKERS American Bankers Association Official Declares That Banking Changes Creating Large Bank Systems Wiil Call for Broader Social Viewpoints. Larger tcalo group or branch banking will inevitably bring a m.w era of bunking organization and operations to the United Htate? and bankers will have to develop "new conceptions, new administrative method* and new economic viewM," Rudolf S. Hccht. Chairman of the Economic Policy Commission of tiie American Bankers Astiociatlon, recently told the mom hern of the America*! Institute of Banking. The Institute it Hie educational hcctlon of the association und lie emphasized thev"point that the new era in banking damanded "that we must stepup our educatiop^jo tli^t hanking shall he fortified for now responsibilities." What the Fu|pr3 Calls For "We must broaden our social conception of banking," Mr. Herht said. "N'ot only for the technical operations of the new hnnking must we fit ourselves, hut both as individuals and an organized profession we must charge ourselves with serious consideration of tho social problems that are Involved. Already wo hear murmuring* and fea^. and doubts as to whether the changes** that are coming about in hanking in the extension of group and branch systems do not constitute the looming of u new financial menace, a monopolistic threat not only to the individual unit hanker, hut to the financial liberty of society in general. I am stating these things merely as facts that must be taken Into consideration in our studies. "Public opinion cannot ho ignored by any business, least of all by banking, which la admittedly semi-public in character and is. therefore, subject to special supervision by the constituted authorities. If banking develops tendencies that give rise to public fears, wo must so conduct ourselves as to reassure all doubts. "For this is true,?-that business succeeds only by serving society?that no business can permanently prosper which does not both render service to the public and at the same time convince the public that it 1s rendering that service. Banking, therefore, must take cognizance of what the public is saying of this new era in its development. "It must be part of the technique of modern hanking administration, whatever form our enlarged institutions take, to avoid the creation of monopolies, or even the appearance of such a centralization of financial power as to be able to exercise an ubf due influence over public or private^ finance or other 11 :ro:; of business. ThfrH public's right to the safeguards of fair 1 competition must be observed. Must Preserve Individual Initiative "It must also be an item of management that individual initiative and opportunity shall he maintained. If America has outstripped other nations in the distribution of the benefits of its progress, it is due to the fact that here are no barriers of social caste or business tradition against advancement for character, ability, and lnltiatlve. American business has le&rtaed that It serves itself best by encouraging by every practical means Individual ambition and Initiative, and hurts itself most by repressing or neglecting thorn. Competition for-efficlency, both within an organization and between organizations, will prevent any Institution from long enduring In which maintenance of opportunity and recognition of initiative are not controlling 1 principles of management. As heads of the greatest of our financial and Industrial institutions stand men who started from the humblest of beginnings. Through all tho grades of executive authority and reward stand men In positions tu keeping, generally Rpeaking, with their individual merits. I, personally, see no reason for fearing that the enlarged banking organizations which the future may hold would necessarily supply future bank employees with any less opportunity for achievement than unit hanking. "Again, a major consideration of administration in any multiple form of banking organization must be its public relations in every community It touches. Its foremost consideration must be actually and visibly to serve the economic upbuilding of that community. No system will be long tolerated whose local members work, or are suspected as working, to draw economic strength from one place to enlarge the finnnieal power of anoth:r. The loeal unit bank has always been part an.I parcel of the communities where it lives- and no system can last which ?! . ^ not make it a major principle of operating technique to serve, 'id t * \pioit, the (ommunities in'o whoso o.: iucss lives it enters."
