Advice of the 8 taw Baud at BnM
to Anti-Pellagra Cwmlp .
"A milk cow far every family j*.
Bladaa county" ia the slogan that
has been adapted In ftri with
the anU-pellagra r-wipalgn *^r» ia
uow being conducted in that county
by the 8 Lai# Board at Health. A
bulletin *o "Pellagra, Its Cura and
i reventien,” prepared bp Am State
Board of Health far urn la this UXit
paign, advocates the “community
cow” idea in teaching the imp nr aii«
ef frisk milk and butter M the cue
and prevention of pellagra. D <*F>:
“Ktrvt and foremost in »—y—‘~i—
• fresh milk and batter. Vn want
to hiidM tho dap whtu every fan
lord or tenant, win haee a mBea
cow which will provide fresh milk
every day ia the year. Further
’.*ans. Led evey farmer ia tha coun
ty make his garden "king" instead
of his cotton field. Furthermore,
raise rhirhaas and eggs. For every
osen eggs sold, le a. doean be kept
at home and eaten by tha family.
“Finally," the bullathi continues,
"get that cow aad plant that garden
now. Don’t wait anil pellagra ap
pear* in yoer family to provide these
every day noeaesitiaa. To fight this
dies css does not require an outlay of
thousand* of dollars, but simply a
little intelligent forethought and af
fort on the part of ovary mail, wo
men and child in he county.”
