"Meats in Storage"
Every working: day of the year
75,000,000 pounds of meat are required
to supply home and export needs?and
only 10 per cent of this is exported.
These facts must be kept in mind
when considering the U. S. Bureau of
Markets report that on June 1, 1919,
there were 1,348,000,000 pounds of
meats in cold storage. If the meat in
Storage was placed on the market it
would only b* todays' supply.
This meat is not artificially withheld
from trade channels to maintain or
advance prices.
Meat? in storage consist of?
65 per cent (approximate) hama, bacon, etc.,
in process of carin?. It take* 34 to 90
dara in pickle or sak to complete the
process.
10 per cent ta frozen pork that ia to be cured
later in the year.
0 per cent ia lard. This ia only four-fifths
of a pound per capita, and much of it will
have to go to supply European need?.
If per Cent ia froxen beef and lamb,-part of
which is owned by the Government and
was intaoded chiefly far over-seas ship
ment. If this were aH diverted to domes
tic trade channel?, it would be only
1V4 lb?, per capita?a 3 days' supply.

From this it win be seen that' 'meats
in storage" represent merely un
finished goods ill process of ctiring and
the working supply necessary to assure
the consumer A steady flow of finished
product ? j

The public will stand behind Chair
man Timberlake in demanding that
reports be made of all public funds.
When parties who have "drank at
the branch" advise the commissioners
to let the Carolina Power & Light Co.
alone, you had better take notice.
After having seen the Carolina Po
*er and Light Co.'s offer to Louisburg,
we feel that the gentlemen from
Spring Hope made a fairly good pro
posal.
If it lsnt right to let the public
know what has become of the money
it paid in. tben they should not pay it,
and we don.'t believe they can be for
ced to by law.' ? ?
It is practically assured from the
calculations already made, that if
Louisburg installs the oil engine out
fit the price of electric current will be
reduced to at least 12H cents.
If Louisburg installs the oil engine
outfit we believe that it Is possibLe
with ,a twenty-four hour run, to sell
current at 10 cents a Kilowat and then
make eight cents profit on each one.
No man or set of men. who are not
disposed ami' required to make public
statements to the tax payers of all
public money handled by them should
be allowed to handle any public funds.

Diet For Pellajrrins.
By special request 1 am devoting
the column this week to foods for pel
lagrins.
Klrsi of all let me_urge all pellagrins
to leave patent Medfrtrr<?s alone. ^Fhere
is no patent medicine which wi4i-help
you. -Consult your County Health of
ficer or your family physician. You
can trust them but you cannot afford
to trust any patent medicine firm.
Your doctor can tell you just how
much food to take and probably give
you a tonic or some pepsin to help
digest the food and perhaps a heart
stimulant.
Pellagra is a deficiency disease that
tends to seasonal recurrence due to
the docidedty restricted diet of the
previous winter, which in many cases
consists mainly of denatured corn
meal. rice, pork, molasses and white
flour. ?*.
If the diet consisted of at least a
pint of whole milk, dally for adults;
1 quart for children up to 12 years; 2
quarts for babies; eggs. Trult, (fresh
preferred) turnip tops, cabbage, car
rots. lettuce, celery, beets, whole
wheat flour, whole corn meal and a
variety of cereals there would be lit
tle danger of a recurrence of the dis
ease ip spite that meat "(beef and fish)
is not easy to get in the country.
Cabbage should not be cooked to
death. If it is cooked in a small
quantity of. water for 30. minutes to
45. it is really worth while. The wa
ter in which cabbage has been cooked
is of inestimable value where pella
gra is concerned, so that with pota
toes or onions added it may bo made
into a soup. Potato soup is also good
because it contains, like tomatoes or
tomato Juice from canned tomatoes,
[antiscorbutic properties which have
I been lacking in a pellagrin's diet.
If in the spring and early summer
there was a more generous; use of
eggs and milk,, all green things es
pecially leaf and stem vegetables like
I cabbage, asparagus and lettuce, fruits
and a more varied. meat diet, there
would be no recurrence and a perma
nent cure would be effected. A more
generous use of vegetables, fruits,
eggs and dairy products would over
come not only pellagra but many oth
er unwholesome conditions and save
doctor's .hills as well as much suiter-,
ing. It may be well to state liel*e.
that if all people provided themselves,
and at all times ate a well balanced
diet, pellagra would-disappear from
the face of the earth.. Let me empha
size the fact that a pellagrin should
have a generous diet of unboiled cows
milk. eggs, red meats (beef, veal.'lamb
mutton and-fish) vegetables, fruits
and breads made from Whole wheat
flour and whole c&rn meat.
1 -Eat as fully at the three.meals as
the condition of the digestion will per
mit. masticating slowly and thorough;
ly. keeping the mind as happy as pos
sible midway between meals and at
bed-time, take 1" or 2 glasst'uls of
milk, into which has b^on stirred 1 or
2 tablespoons lime water; or"'well but
tered toast and milk; or 2 raw e&gs.
The following list includes the fnost
essential foods in the order of their
importance. 1)0 not fry any of the
foods. 1.. Beef, the less cooked the
belter. Raw1, scraped, salted or spread
'jjiiiiuiiiyii.ijjrt,, ihn )iiiiitiin mu
Even when well cooked it is vc-Fv "val-~
uable. 2. Milk, plain with lime wa
ter. Cream, buttermilk, junket.- cus
tard, blanc-mange. 3. Egg*, sim
mered in shell, poached, in omelet,
raw. 4 Fish, fresh fish. - Boiled,
baked, creamed. 5. Oysters, raw,
in soup. 5. Game, wild fowl, lien,
turkey, tl. Dried beans and peas.
Cooked thoroughly.
As can be seen, the diet chiefiy beef,
eggs and milk, prepared with as little 1
cooking as possible, will furnish the !
much needed protein, 'and vitamiives. i
The beef can. be prepared as_ hash. (
steak. etc."; the eggs plain or in drinks j
pr cheese, turd, milk soup, but if sub
ject?-1 t''> a- high temperature tiie vita- 1
mines will probably be killed . Eat [
plenty of butt> r, orange* and .lemons, j
The last two are ^pleiiciid for stipply-j
ing vitamine*. ' Leiftonadc- aifd egg
leifionades are Vood. Quantities -ot;

this diet, H i* H'-cessurj*"tO^S^e that
