WHAT 18 PKIXAHRA?
"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."
