PELLAGRA SPREADS
THE PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE
ISSUES VALUABLE BULLETN
ON THE DISEASE.
SHOWS INCREASE IN N. C.
Bulletin Contains Upto-Date State
ment of Surgeon C. H. Lavinder
Who Has Mads Long Butdy of Die
sase.
Raleigh.—Special from Washington
says, the most recent figures on pel
lagra snow mat the disease is spread
ing in North Carolln and other states.
The death of prominent persons in
North Carolina with the dreoded dis
ease has caused the people there to
take more interest in it.
The public health service here has
issued abulletin on pellagra. In it
appears sn up-to-date statement by
Surgeon C. H. Lavinder who has
made a study of the disease for sev
eral years. Doctor Lavinder says:
"Pfie literature of pellagra con
tinues to increase in volume but our
actual knowledge of the nature of
thfe disease still leaves much, very
much to be desired. The etiology
of pellagra remains in obscurity. The
Italian school continues to ring
changes on the corn theory, while
the American school seems largely in
clined to regard pellagra as an in fee
tiouc disease of some undetermined
nature.
"Taking all things into considera
tion, at present the safest point of
view with regard to the causation
of this disease is probably one of
frank agnosticism, backed up by
healthy spirit of criticism and investi
gation, with the suppression of all de-
Bire to rush into print with immature
speculations fantastic hypotheses and
incomplete experimentation.
"It is worthy of remark that Sam
bon has shown what was already sus
pected, that the disease is fur more
prevalent than has been heretofore
stated. In striking confirmation of
this fact he has reported recently the
discovery of over 50 cases of the dis
ease in the British Isles. In the United
States there is little doubt that pel
lagra continues to spread and numer
ous cases are now found where the
disease scarcely existed a year ago.
"There is no specific remedy for
pellagra," Doctor says.
"Lacking a specific remedy however,
we have no need to throw up our
hands In despair," he adds. "There
is a treatment for this disease which
properly applied gives good results,
especially in early cases. This treat
ment Is largely summed up in the
removal of the patient from his sur
roundings if possible, and preferably
to an institution, proper diet proper
ly regulated rest, hydrotherapy and
intelligent attention to general symp
tomatic treatment without too much
drugs."

CHILDREN LOVE
SYRUP OF RGS
It Is cruel to force nauseating,
harsh physic into a
sick «hild.
Look back at your childhooa day*.
Remember the "dose" mother insisted
on—castor oil, calomel, cathartics.
How you hated them, how you fought
against taking thera.
With our children It's different.
Mothers who cling to the old form of
physic simply don't realise what they
do The children's revolt is well-found
ed. Their tender little "Insldes" are
Injured by them.
If your child's stomach, liver and
bowels need cleansing, give only deli
cious "California Syrup of Figs." Its
action is positive, but gentle. Millions
of mothers keep this harmless "fruit
laxative" handy; they know children
love to take it; that it never falls to
clean the liver and bowels and sweet-
en the stomach, and that a teaspoonful
given today saves a sick child t mor
row.
Ask at the store for a 60-ccnt bottle
of "California Syrup of Figs," which
has full directions for babies, children
of all ages and for grown-ups plainly
an each bottle. Adv.
Good luck Is like a lot of other
things. You never fully appreciate It

GRANDMA USED SAGE TEA

Almost everyone knows that Spge
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound

lustre to the hair when faded, streaked

scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get thlß mixture
was to make It at home, which is

by'asking at any store for "Wyeth's

will got a large bottle of this famous
old rec'pe for about 50 cents.
Don't stay gray! Try It! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as It doeß It so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
■oft brush with It and draw this
through your heir, taking ono small
strand at a time; by morning the gray

Cast Side Levee and Sanitary
District of Illinois.
Section Is a Municipality Chartered by
the State and Has Power to Collect
Taxes to Keep the Mississippi
River Within Bounds.
East St. Louis.—The east-vide levee
and sanitary district, In wntch the city
of East St. Louis is situated, is a mu
nicipality, chartered by the state of Il
linois and given power to levy and
collect taxeß for the purpose of pro
viding flood protection and drainage
for a 150 square mile area situated on
the east side of the Mississippi river,
opposite the city of St. Louis.
The area extends about 30 miles
along the Mississippi river, and is
bound el on the east by a chain of
bluffs. Within the area Is a large in
dustrial center, and a very prolific ag
ricultural dletrict. The principal city
in the area is East St. Louis, which
has a population Of 75,000. The other
cities are Granite City, National City,
Madison, Venice, Brooklyn, Nameoki
and Cahokia.
In the past this area has had to en
dure many floods, resulting from an
unusual combination of causes. The
estimated cost of the work provided
for in the present planß of the east
side levee and sanitary district is $6,-
600.(io0. "Bhe east side levee and sani
tary district as a municipally embrace
a large territory, Including the cities
mentioned, but is in no way directly
connected with them. The district
Is governed by a board of trustees
elected every four years, which board
appoints a chief engineer, a treasurer,
""jfcleik and attorney.
To appreciate the significance of
the measures taken by the east side
Jpvee arid sanitary district toguard
"against future floods in the area, it
is necessary to have a clear under
standing of the causes of the frequent
floods.
The area is comparatively low,
and the Mississippi river formerly
spread over a large portion of It.
Through the area runs a stream call
ed Cahokla creek. Lying northwest
of the area Is a 200 square mile plat
eau, which forms a watershed for
J.— -
Showing Levee Dis :
Oahokia creek. Practically all of the
waterfall of the pluteau wan fotanerly
carried through the 10-ver area
Cahokla creek to the MinHi»«ii)t>l
river.
In the event of a heavy rainfall the
water from the plateau would augment
the drainage of the lower area, and the
Cahokla creek would overflow its
banks in the lower area. High water
in the Mississippi river and the Ca
hokla creek would frequently occur at
the same time. The Mississippi river
water packing up into the channel of
the Cahokla creek would meet the
downward rush of the water from the
plateau and the result would bp a
disastrous overflow. The Mississippi
river inundating the area from the
west and the Cahokla creek overflow
ing in the central part furnished
enough water to almost submerge the
area. These, overflows ocsurred fre
quently, and caused great Inconven
ience to traffic and devastation of
property.
Keeping the Mississippi river out of
the area was simply a matter of build
ing a levee high enough, but harness
ing the Cahokla creek was a problem
presenting a number of difficulties.

If woman's beauty depended upon

leeper than that. It lies in health. In

The headaches, the lassitude, the
lallow skin and the lusterless eyes are
lsually due to constipation. So many

carefully, they eat indigestible foods
because the foods are served daintily
ind they do not exercise enough. But
whatever the particular cause may be
it is Important that the condition
ihould be corrected. •
