THE -HOLY ROLLERS" PUZZLED.
Disappointed by World's Failure to
Come to an End.
Went Duxbury. Mass., Sept. 28.?
The time set for the end of the world
as revealed In visions to some of the
more of the radical of the Triune Im
merslontst* who have gathered at
Ashdod for several days, has passed,
and last night at the little chapel of
the faithful a service of prayer and
song was held to ask the counsel of
the Good and to await His weala
tlon. Dosens of the faithful have giv?
en up for the preeent all hope of the
"great glorification" and have gone to
their homes, hot others have arrived
to take their places.
The meeting In the chapel yester?
day was open to outsiders and was
conducted much the same as prayer
and testimonial meetings of other de?
nominations. But nearby, in a room
that serves as a kitchen, there was
another meeting to which only the
faithful were allowed to gather. The
room was crowded with Immersion
tats. All were standing with hands
and faces up-raised, apparently wait?
ing for some revelation.
Destroyed Money.
It is estimated that over one-half
million dollars < In paper money is
destroyed in the country In one year.
Many complaints come to the Treas?
ury Department concerning destroy?
ed money from persons who are of
the opinion that the country should
stand their loe*e*. One woman wrote
a few days ago that nhe had dropped
a twenty dollar bill In a meat chop?
per and that it had been ground to
pieces. A large quantity of green?
backs is eaten up each yeur by rats,
which find its hiding places. One
peculiar cane Is reported of a robin
flying through a window and then
n>ing out attain with a one hundred
dollar bill In its mouth. Enough of
this greenback wa* found In the Sob*
In's nest to warrant Its redemption.

Dr. Babcoek on Pellagra.
Columbia special in the News
and Courier: The .prevalence of pel
lagrr. has been called to the atten?
tion of the'public from time to time
recently by medical men throughout
the country. But so far there has
been no agreement rcuched as to the
cause of the disease nor has any cure
been round therefor.
A few days ago there appeared in
In the papers the statement of North
Carolina physicians that the disease
was caused by a germ. Still another
case was cited where n woman hud
pellagra who bed never eaten any corn
meal, which la generally accepted to
be one of the causes of the disease.
Dr. X W. Babcoek. of the State
Hospital for the Insane, an expert on
pellagra was seen today and his opin?
ion asked as to the cause of the dread
d tease which has caused so much
terror in this country.
"The press Is now emphasizing the
.'act that pellagra is a new disease,"
paid Dr. Babcoek "but the South Car?
olina and Georgia asylums have rec?
ognised the disease in their institu?
tions for about thirty years. ?
"At Morganton, N. C, pellagra has
been known for about twenty-two
years. It Is not a near disease, but
a newly recognized disease. The at
tentlon of the public has been direct
ed to it. What was formerly known
as other diseases by various names U
now known as pellagra for pyhsi
clans.
' "The president of the Italian Na?
tional Board of Health, told me one
year ago that while we may dispute
about which of the moulds couse the
disease, it is aasociated with spoiled
corn. Pellagra has been studied in
Italy for 170 years, and that corn
meal 13 'incriminating' admits of no
doubt, that Is provided the meal is
damaged. There are many thousand
cases of pellagra in Italy, and the
doctors there have made exhaustive
.-.tudy of the disease.
"Many authorities claim to isolate
the germs either from moulds or
bacteria, but no agreement as to the
cause of pellagra had been
reached."
Lambroso, the greatest of the au
tborities In Italy, says that the dis
ease Is due to toxyne produced from
moulds.
"Cencl says it Is due to two forms
of moulds, aspergillus or pcnicillium
Another Italian authority?Tizonnl
says it is tue to a bacteriu. Th
mould is a fungus."
Dr. Babcoek inclines to the thoeory
of Dr. Lambroso that the disease is
caused from a mould, und that dam?
aged corn meal is incriminating.
' But," said Dr. Babcoek, "It might
be caused from light bread for that
matter, provided, of course, that the
grain is damaged. We have reached
no definite conclusion as to the cans
"It Is useless for American authori?
ties to claim to have Isolated a parti
cular germ.
Dr. C. H. Lavlnder, of the United
Stahs Marine Hospital Service, has
been here for four months working
on pellagra at the State Hospital.
Clinics have be^n held for physicians
every Tuesday before Dr. Lavinder
returns to Washington.
Dr. Babcock's opinion on the mat?
ter will have a tendency to explode
some of the many theories that re?
cently have been expounded because
heb as made a study of pellagra.
While he does not say that the tru
cause of the disease is known, h
does believe that damaged grain is
Incrimlnuting and that the germ
theory |s not correct.
From AuKUsta the theory has re?
cently been given that pellagra is not
caused by damaged corn as food. In
stating that damaged corn has to do
with the disease Dr. Babcoek said
that no one need have any fear from
corn that is all right, hut that it |g
only the damaged grain which may
have some gn at bearing on the study
of ptdlugra.
Drs. Behooek and Lavlnder are
preparing a translation now of one of
the great works on pellagra.

derers. Theas are dangers from

covery early today of the mutilated
body of Mrs. Martha Foster, conceal?
ed ben 1 ath a mound of brush and
pine needles In a strip of woodland
north of Peuumont mill Village in
this city, has revealed a revolting
murder and left th ? police suthorltles
at s^a. Doc Foster, her husband, is
held tonight in tne count} jail await- j
ing further investigation ot the case,
'i he coroner's jury rendered a verdic t
tonight to the efftct that the woman
came t-> he:' death by being Veatcu
on the h >ad with some ijlaat instru?
ment and recommended that Doc
faster, her husband, be held until the
cireum. tances surrounding the case
are further developed.
Foster was seen with his wife In
the woods v. here her body was found
Tuesday afternoon and he is known(
to have been with her that morning
in the Beaumont mill village. He de?
nies any knowledge of the crime and
stated today that h? last saw his wife
Tuesday evening in a hack with a
white man and a negro driver. She
told him then she was going to a
neighboring mill village to see s??me
riends.
Foster says that he did not knov.
either of the men in the hack. Mro.
Foster, who was Miss Martha Sud
doth of Greenville county, has been
in the State Hospital for the Insane
tor six months and returned here
mly two weeks ago. She has six
?hildren, some of whom are In an or
damage in Greenville.
The police believe the murder wal?
let committed in the woods but that
the body had been carried there.
Physicians say th body had not been
lead more than 48 hours. The marks
round were on the head, the skull be?
ing crushed in several places. One
irm was broken and the fingers had
ly cut.
Foster's reputation is that of an
'-tonest and law-abiding man, a t one
tlmj a successful farmer at Boiling
prings in this county. He is Sfi years
of age. When arrested today he wat
seated in his room reading the Bible
md expressed little surprise when
old that his wife had been murder?
ed. He was taken to where the body
lay In the woods and, after viewing
It in an indifferent fashion, said:
"Yes, that's her."
