CQRII BLAMED FOR PELLAGRA CASES
Government Biologists Have Urged that All Corn Be .Well Inspected. SOUND CORN IS GOOD But It Is Question Regarding Heated, Fermented or the Mouldy Product. BY JONATHAN WINFIELO Washington, Jan. 4. Recent oases of pellagra In this country, principally In the Southern states, and the suppoed connection of tho disease with the consumption of unsound corn, nan furnished an Interesting study for chen-l-cal biologists employed by the government. For the purpose of irresting the disease, and gradually driving it out of the country Department of Agriculture expert have urged an Inspection of all corn offered for sale. Sound corn Is held to be a wholetome form of food, but whether corn that has been heated, fermented, or molded Is safe Is another question. That It Is unsafe, and the cause of pellagra Is so firmly believed In lt;ily ad tho Austrian Trovlnce of the Tyrol thut the governments of those countries have enacted stringent laws regulating the quality of corn and coin meal which may bo sold or Imported. The possibility that spoiled torn may possess poisonous qualities svitih foreign experts declare to hav.j passed unnoticed in this country. Most Investigators who have delved Into the subject have contented themselves with the determination of protein carbohydrato of these groups t.f substance. Tho attempts to dinenlangfo tbe mixture of complex substances of which tho corn seed, like ny other living thing, Is composed, lias hardly begun. Investigators of Southern Kurope who had In the supposed connection between pellagra and corn a great Incentive to undertake this work have not done bo. Position of Expert! The position taken by government tiperts here Is that whatever untlmateljr may prove to be the causo of .pellagra the consumption of spoiled corn should be discontinued. Kven if spoiled corn should bo proved to have nothing to do with pellagra. Its consumption would still remain decidedly objectionable. To bring about such conditions aa would offer a corn crop free of disease to the consumer, experts declare that it must first bo possible to detect deterioration in tho corn. Ily drying moldy corn, "running" it In tho elevator, polishing off the ' mold whlctl covers the individual kernels and then miring it with sound corn, millers can make detection of spoiled corn difficult. In Italy and Austla, suspected corn is examined by government experts. In this country where an examination is made in most cases only upon the inltlatlne of private individuals, many of the tests applied abroad would often be of HtUe service, because they require a considerable degree of chemical or bacteriological skill. "What seems to be needed In this country, the experts say, is an adequate test so simple .that It may be applied by the manufacturer, tho health officer, or the consumer In determining whether corn products are fit for human food. An "acidity test" such as is used broad, is believed to be a reliable means of distinguishing good from bad corn. Since the spoiling of corn is now to Cure Your Own Kidneys A New Guaranteed Treatment. Tns st That the World's Best Kidney Specialists Could Give You. Here is tbe best remedy for your kidneys, backache, and the diseases that come from bad kidneys that the world's greatest brains can give you. Take advantage of it. Cut this out and keep it. If your kidneys are too far gone, nothing else may save you. It then rests with your Marker. A Now, if you have tniln in the small of the back, at times or constantly. If the urine is profuse or scanty, if it is smoky or cloudy after it stands a few hours, or has a bad odor, or if you have a pain in the bladder or a touch of rheumatism anywhere, the chances are almost 100 to 1 that your kidneys are clogged with body poisons of various kinds. Bladder troubles, rheumatism, Bright's disease and so on. come from bad. dying kidneys. They can't throw out the poisons. Stop everything else you may be taking for your kidneys, bladder or rheumatism. Stop! Put your whole i.ert and soul in the following treatment and go to bed tonight never more doubting for a moment that you will be quickly relieved and saved. Go to your druggist and ask him for Dr. Derby's Kidney Tills, nothing more. Every box, every pill Is guaranteed. You will say It Is the greatest remedy that man has ever found. Some ot (the most prominent men and wo,men of the country believe In them because they have been cured by 'them. Dr. Derby's Kidney Pills are safe, give no bad after effects. In the first 24 hours you will feel different, better. Dr. Derby's Kidney Pills are sold by all druggists 60 pills 10 days' treatment 25 cents, or direct from Derby Medicine Co.. Eaton Rapids. Mich.

r u i A duo to germination, processes in which acids are among the products, the extent to which this deterioration has progressed can be measured by the amount of acid present. It becomes necessary then to only fix a standard of acidity above which corn should be considered unfit for food. Are Two Conditions. O. F. Black, of the psychological and fermentation investigation board of the Department of Agriculture, who has made an exhaustive study of this subject says there are two conditions that must bo considered in making examinations. They are the detection in otherwise sound corn of factors which render It liable to spoil at some future time, and the detection of actual deterioration. "The detection of the former condition." he Bays, "is veTy simple, and consists of a determination of the moisture constant, since excessive moisture content is believed to be the chief factor in causing torn to spoil. Storage under conditions which do not protect it from the weather may of course increase tho moisture content. Such corn is particularly liable to heat and ferment." In discussing the question further, Mr. Black lays down a number of rules and regulations. Ho says that for both whole corn and meal the drying test Is tho only reliable method of determining moisture, and should always be applied in doubtful cases. For meal, a different limit is required than for whole corn, since given an equal moisture content, meals spoil more readily than tho whole corn. Mr. Black points out that moist corn which Is otherwise sound ought not to be condemned. Curing prior to stor age Is necessary for it will then be in a good condition. It has been found according to investigations that If growers and handlers of corn could be Induced to dry corn adequately. It would result In a great addition to the wealth' of the country, irrespective of any danger to the public health from the consumption of spoiled corn. Much less corn would deteriorate In transit and storage. Millions of gallons of water in the form of undesirable moisture in corn are transported annually from the corn belt. The transportation cost of this water could be saved If tho drying process would be enforced. A Unique Phenomena. In tho study of corn an interesting phenomena was discovered. Mr. Black in describing the conditions says: "The germ in the corn kernel is a living thing. As long as it Is not very dry it respires and gives off carbonic acid and water. Like all living things It uses up food in the process of respiration. The food it consumes is the material stored In the endosperm. It Is clear that the more food the embryo respires away the less will be left for man. It is evident that moist corn must lose in food value more than dry corn. If it were possible to calculate the loss thus sustained, it would amount to a very large sum." In determining good corn, the experts contend, it should have the fragrance characteristic of good meal. Spoiled corn has a musty or sour odor, which is intensified by warming slightly. In examining corn, samples should be taken from various parts of the mass. Wbteher the odor is musty or sour, the interior of a silo should be noted as the sample as taken. The general appearance of each sample must be observed, for in dealing with large masses of grain different condiItnos may be met with in different parts of the mass. If this proves to the case, the different samples are best examined separately. Ordinarily however, the various samples are thoroughly mixed, and the sample for examination taken from the mixture at several different points. The moisture content is thus determined accurately. Following this examination the corn is (hen spread out in a thin layer to see whether it is of characteristic bright shiny appearance, or whether the kernels are dull, botched, with discolored embryo indicative of heating and fermentation, or whether they are pale and shriveled. A large number of kernels are next examined and the hull is removed from the embryo to show whether its condition is good.. The good is then separated from the bad and the percentage of the crop is ascetaincd. Eight Lions. There are eight liou known the world over the lion of St. Mark's in Venice, the four lions at the base of the Nelson monument in Trafalgar square, the lion of Waterloo, the lion of Lucerne and the lion of Chaeronea.

IMPERSONATOR AT THE MURRAY THIS
A t Local Theaters Cohan Comedy Company. Tonight the Powell aud Cohan company will play "My Western Rose," which is the bill which Miss Portello has been announcing as the one in which they commit murder and kill off all the actors and a Yew of the musicians besides. Nothing for a long time has been as successful in the amusement line as has the compeny headed by Miss Cairo Portello which has appeared at the Gennett during the holidays. Tho novelty of seeing and hearing rnusicai comedy at popular prices has appealed to the public fancy and the result has been si-ch as to surprise even the sanguine expectations of the managers of the enterprise. Tomorrow evening a double supply of green trading stamps will be presented with each ticket, and on Friday evening a surprise is promised in the way of a special act which will be a decided novelty. "Jumping Jupiter." Mr. Richarl Carle is an actor who has made more successes through his own invention than any other musical comedy star In the business, Geoi ,e M. Cohan possibly just a bit better than a competitor. Carle and Cohan represent the brains of musical shows as actors and authors. "Jumping Jupiter," shows the lanky comedian in fine fettle on his own particular browsing ground. Never in the least disturbed by having his stae companions "make good" in fact, welcoming anybody who can set a pace. Mr. Carle has developed in the twelve weeks of his play at the Cort theater Chicago a whimsical character who Is always a delight. His fellow workers have ample opportunities and respond to them. Edna Wallace Hopper, with her nicely adjusted sense of comedy, might almost star In the piece, if it were net dedicated to "Richard. Himself." Nobody sings a song better than Lillian Shaw or Will Phitbrlck and Ina Claire's genius for mimicry has won her a three years' contrast with Frazee and Lederer, Mr. Carle's managers. Seats go on sale Friday but the mail orders are already being received for the performance at the Gennett theater next Monday. At the Murray This Week. The greatest musical engagement of the year is at the Murray this week. The gre.-t Wilhelmi in his impersonations of the famous composers assist ed by his augmented Imperial Yacht orchestra. No acts In months has created tbe sensation that this has. Ixjcal musicians declare the Imperial Yacht orchestra to be probably the best organization of its size which t has ever entertained local circles. Leonard Pro's., equilibrists do some excellent work, some of the kind seldom seen and their comedy work is so neatly done and fits in so well that the act is far more pleasing than the usual run of this kind. 1 The Sloane Duo have an act of refined singing and talking. Good motion pictures open and close the show. New Murray Week of January 2. THE GREAT WILHELMI AND HIS IMPERIAL YACHT BAND And Three Other Big Acts. (Matinee, daily, 2:30.

There are at least two queer freaks of nature on tbe Island of St. Helena or, rather, four, for one of them is a group of three figures known tbe world over as tbe "Devil's Nose" and "Lot and Ills Daughters." Any one who is able to study the island as it is and not run wild over the Napoleonic legends which hare clustered about that "seabound rock" since the days when tbe "Little Corporal" was housed there in his living grave will find much that will repay for investigation, time and study. Tbe queerest of the natural forma tions are the oddities above alluded to. ! The first pf these imitative forms is a rocky promontory which has been known. by names which signify Old Nick's nasal projection 6ince May 22, 1502, when Juan Castella and his men sighted the island just in time to see ! the devil disappear beneath the waves in the best harbor, leaving bis nose as a reminder of what taight happen 6hould the venturesome Spaniard seek to take possession of bis Satanic nfajesty's favorite haunts. "Lot end His Daughters" are three conical roelrs which can only be conjured Into representing a man and two women by a strong play of the imagination. According to the views of some writers they are weather worn statues of colossal 6lze. probably the work of some aborigines of the island. Their gigantic size, however, would seem to preclude this idea. When or by whom they were dubbed "Lot and His Daughters" no authority Las ventured to say. The Twentieth Century club of Bos ton has made the suggestion that the portrait of Julia Warde Howe paint ed by her son-in-law, John Elliott, be hung in Faneuil hall, "the cradle of liberty."
