Captured weapons are piled on

held for murder of Stephen |

killing the gang leader, because
Sweeney called him a “yellow

which is a condition tliat is due to
the continued absence of essential
food for the body requirements. The
disease is early to recognize in the
advanced stages, but in the begin
ning when the symptoms are mild
and perhaps appear and disappear
during an interval of a few days, the
condition is often very hard to
diagnose and is overlooked This is
the time, however, when attention
to futher development- is me t im
portant and when most can "be done
for the patient.
"The prevention of pellagra is a
simple matter if earnestly and sys
tematically carried out. Once the
diagnose is established, the food
habit of the person should be im
mediately 'established on a pella re
preventing ba'is. As Dr.-Ooldb'v-'i'r
stated the 3 M’s of diet should be
avoided, mtnel”. meal, fat meat
(salt) and molasses.'*
The diet 'bould consist each dav
Of what is known as the pel lama
preventing food. The old slogan
adopted bv the North Carolina State
Board of Health in 1916 still holds
good, arid with the addition of
fruits, may be said to be a pellagra
preventing diet. That slogan was "a
milk cow with plenty of milk and
butter for every family on every
farm; and plenty of milk and but
ter tti every home in city and ;own |
In the State." This means fresh
whole milk, lresh butter, and not
oil substitutes commonly sold for
butter at, half price, Second, a flock
of poultry sufficient to have *.,me
fresh chickens at frequent periods
throughout he year, and sufficient
to produce an abundance of fresh
eggs for the family table. Third, a
garden carefully worked and on s
'producing bams 365 days in the
year. An abundance of fresh fruits,
some fresh lean meat, either be f,
mutton, pork, fish or chicken, and
especially fresh lean beef, are es
sential at frequent intervals. Cured j
pork ham or shoulder of hogs, Tver'
and other items of a meat diet are
satisfactory,

Stockholm. Jnn. 8. -Mrdame Mi
chaelovna Kollontal, who has been
called the world's foremost woman
diplomat because of her appolnt
ment ts a soviet ambassadress. Is in
disgrace.
She has been fired from her last
job as ambassadress to Sweden.
Bourgeois Vulgarity.
The communists are mad r.t her,
because they say she has been liv
ing "to bourgeois” a life at Oslo and
Stockholm She wears beautiful and
expensive clothes and travels about,
the city in a gorgeous state coach
drawn by four black Arrbian horses.
The communists are against osten
tation as a bourgeois vulgarity.
They disl ke a ft: unting display, es
pecially In one who is their repre
sentative in a country which they
are anxious to impress with the new
regime.
Lost Bat-onaje.
But Mine. Rollantai might still be
riding behind her Arrbian horses
in Oslo, clad in her rich coat of
chinchilla and black taffeta gown
if she hfldtri had a frjling out with
Joseph Stalin, head of the commun
ist party. For Stalin is the "iron
man" of the soviet republic. He
drove Leon Trotsky, former head ot
the red army, into exile to Con
strnttnopie Born in Georgia, south
of the Caucasian mountains, this
son of a shoemaker, controls the liv
es and destinies of some 150.000,000
people.
Popularity Wae*.
Mine Kotiant; 1 nas not alone
fallen out with Stalin, but she has
not been on good terms with Max
im Litvlnoff, the soviet foreign com
missar. She did not keep it a secret
that she considered this gentle
man an upstart. It was all right for
her to snub Litvlnoff as long as she
was under the protection of Stalin,
But as soon as the “iron mah” with
drew his patronrge she discovered
that she was not a popular lady any
longer. Instead she floundered in
the cold waters of communistic
criticism.
However, she has had more than
her share of acclaim She lias fell
the thrill of power in a fascinating
era of national life. She has wit
nessed the me of a new party, the
end of a capitalistic rule, and the
sudden release of women from a
comprrative serfdom to a recognis
ed position.
i This is not the fl'st time that the
| noblewoman communist has been
denounced.
In 1926 she was appointed soviet
minister to Mexico. Although she
had previously traveled through the
United States, visiting 81 cities in
a campaign In behalf of commun
ism and women's rights, the coun
try was not anxious to see her
again. And so she was barred from
entering the United States on her
way to Mexico City. But this didn’t
bother Mine. Kollrntai, It didn’t
matter to her how she got to Mexi
co, so long as she got there.
Buf "Mexico didn’t take kindly to
■ he lady diplomat. Mexico said she
sheltered Bertram Wolfe, the Am
e lean communist, who had been
expelled from that country a year
before. So the labor organizations
asked President Cailes to expel the
beautiful female minister.
President Cailes didn’t have to
trke any dramatic steps, as the
lady suddenly discovered that he-1
health demanded baths in Germany
So she went to Germany and never
did return to Mexico City. Tnsterdj
she went back to her former post

the Piedmont council is the second

Florida, being exceeded only by the
council in the Atlanta Area, He de
clared that the budget of $11,600 is
very small considering the number
of boys in the troops in this coun

were references to the handicaps
and obstacles under which the
council has labored during the past
year, the Interruption in textile
manufacture and the bank failures
making it impossible for some of
the counties to raise their quotas.
During the past year scout exten
