FAVORS PELLAGRA HOSPITAL. SENATE COMMITTEE'S ACTION OX PELLAGRA BILL. Experts at Healing Give Reasons Why State Should Kstablish Hospital? Report Submitted Today. Columbia, Jan. 27.?A favorable re-! port will be returned by the senate finance committee tomorrow morn? ing on .Senator Sullivan's bill to es? tablish a pellagra hospital and a pel" lagra commission of five members, the bill to carry ail appropriation of $25,-j 000 for the hospital and $10,000 for the commission.

In Bpartanburg, appear? ed In support of the bill. Among other Interesting statements, he an? nounced that Col. Thompson. of Philadelphia, has stated that he would continue to furnish the funds for car? rying on the field work of the Thomp son-McFadden pellagra comm.ssion until the drat of next year, but at that time he would cease, and Capt.

In the last six years said Dr. Hancock, 901 pellagra cases had been admitted to the State Hoe> pital for the Insane, and the work of caring for and treating the hundred* of persons insane from pellagra was stressed as one of the good reasoas why the pellagra hospital should be established.

Stoves & Ranges... Cash or Time Many a Woman is Called a Bad Cook Be? cause She Has a Poor Cook Stove, <I The difference between a good stove and a bad one is a mat? ter of construction. The ordinary cook stove wastes over 80 per cent of the Heat units?that is it sends them up the chimney where they do no good. <1 Fisher Leaf Stoves are scientific cooking machines. The flues are so placed that the heat is distri? buted just where it is needed most whether for baking, frying or boiling it can be regulated so as to get the very best results with the amount of fuel used. This makes cooking a pleasure instead of a drud? gery. <j| Every Fisher Leaf Stove is positively guaranteed to do its work promptly and efficiently. Ol TR ARU TTY Wisher Leaf Mfg. Co. have been in business over 20 years in the city of "^ IV/A.DIJ-111 1 "-"Louisville, Ky., and any part that may be needed can [be easily furnished for any stove they have ever made. i\ We believe it will pay you to inspect this line of stoves if you are interested in a first-class cook stove. Besides they cost no more than the ordinary cook stove. BF CHERRY BROS. CAROLINA FURNITURE CO. 18 N. Main St. Sumter, S. C ot. C.
