Last week w# promised to furnish a series of articles In the Times, on Pel lagra. We are much elated and grat ified that this disease is on the de crease lo Franklin county, notwith standing the propaganda of our Pre#' f ident and Dr. Uoldberger that the dis ease was raging all over the South as a terrible epidemic and that this con dition was the result of our poverty "SruT the want or stimcient amount and proper food to prevent Pellagra. Now as we stated before, Pellagra is a dis east' caused by the want of a properly well balanced diet, adequately suffic ient to furnish the necessary element of food to meet natures demand. From thorough investigation and experience In practice wl(h this ciscase wc haye dia< overed that the disease more prevalent among the middle class of our population and the special victim seems to t>e the housewife, the one ~whu bears the burdens trf the family at homg, her duties are eroneous heavy and confining, not only concerned with economic cares of the home, but the cur* and attention to the children, th^ir education, moral, spiritual and recreational status fiT tEe~cumuiuaiiy^ And the one who has these cares i-nd Imnlrnn, In nftimPH derUfirt to .houas hold as regards diet and other envl luimielklH. Plnnrly mnflp*d~ she must Tie an- extraordinary woman to puTI ttiroogtr and dajigara of Pellagra. In the next issue we will show why the one person is more lia Ele to be tne victim of Pellagra than other members of the family. Be <fbeekers for weala will knickerbockers. Next season they| will he trunks. And still, when a frenzied financier I gets caught It is- but r.atural that he | [should become frenzied. ? It may be true that love eomea tta-l bidden, but It generally cakes a fail -bank account to hold It. NOTICE TO ROAD CONTRACTORS.
