His best hopes seem to lie Lousiana, where he :s likely to pick up a few, and there may be two or three Smith delegates from Florida. But the great solid souti. is lined up against him and will defeat him if it can. Smith strategy in the south is to elect Smith delega‘es. to the con- vention under protective coloration. Numerous instances are reported where Smith men are out to land on delegations by convincing the voters that they are strong for fa- vorite sons or else want to be sent uninstructed. If these tactics were successful in einen instances, they might win Smith the nomina- tion, but they won’t work in states where the party has a well-organ- ized machine or where the unit rule is applied. The south seems to fa- vor delegates who will be anti- Smith whatever else they are, Quite a few southern politicians would like to see Smith nominated, but they don’t dare say so for fear of punishment at home. Whether they will help Smith at the con- vention is doubtful. Such senti- ments, however, are distinctly not those of Democratic politicians | in the border states who fee’ that with a ticket with Smith carrying the glag would ruin them wherever they have a strong Republican mi- nority at their heels. The powerful Simmons machine in North Carolina, for instance, is death on Smith. Former Secretary of the Navy have to worry about whether the gin has been analyzed... . And the fellow who warns you in whispers to look out for “poker sharks”... They do say that they still travel the seas and that there is nothing much can be done about them. . . . But I know two old trav- elers who have tried for eight years to get in a game with sharks and never were able to find any.... One time, when he thought he final- ly had met a sharper, he cleaned the game of $500. ... The next morn- ing he found himself pointed at on deck as “one of those poker sharks they told us to look out for” .... which gave him a great laugh.

You must admit most of the girls aren’t so bad as they’re painted. Cold weather has its charm, too. We won't have to listen to the tadio next door. We're not sure who the next president will be, but feel pretty certain the fellow next door with the saxophone won’t make it. It isn’t the cost of a diamond ring —it’s the upkeep. One of these days a Republican candidate is going to come right out and refuse to run for the presi- dency.

MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medieal Association and of Hygeia, the Health Maga-, zine In the area south of the Potomac and the Ohio rivers and, in many other portions of south particularly, the disease known as pellagra is still a significant cause of death and of disability, In this condition there is a typi- cal eruption on the skin, associated with a loss of strength, indigestion, nervousness, dizziness, vertigo, head- ache and a burned or scalded feelin, of the mouth and tongue. In a sm percentage of the cases the mind is disturbed sufficiently to demand asylum care but the exact relation- ship of the mental disturbance of the disease has not been accurately de- termined. - As Dr, Joseph Goldberger of the United States Public Health Service emphasizes in a recent consideration of the subject, the disease is rarely seen in persons who eat much meat or who drink fresh milk regularly. Comes With Povert; The disease may occur in any- one but the poor are the chief suf- ferers. When the cost of food in- creases greatly the incedence of this disease rises rapidly. re ue Bade in many places lend increas! support to the opinion that co the result of living on an unbalanced diet and that People who eat a mixed, well-balanced and varied diet do not have the disease, The diet Josephus Daniels is one of those who have been mentioned as a pos- sible vice presidential candidate with Smith to “balance” the ticket. For some time it has been reported that Tammany was seeking a dis- in|tinguished southerner to pair up with Al, but this strategy may not work. Daniels might accept the honor once Smith was nominated, but he has always fought the party machine in his state and it might decide to fight him for the second- place nomination. | Smith’s strength on the first few ballots is likely to decide whether he can win the nomination. He seems likely to enter the convention with something short of 500 votes and may soon roll up a majority +f delegates. Then the fight will real- ly begin, for there doesn’t seem to be a chance that the party will ever abrogate the two-thirds rule for his benefit. A repetition of the disas- trous Madison Square Garden dog fight is not at all unlikely, but Smith seems assured of more strength than McAdoo :. .d when the latter was the leading candidate in 1924, x 6 * The principal weakness of the anti-Smith element seems to be its lack of a strong dry candidate to mass behind. It ill look rather silly if it scatters around among favorite sons and doesn’t assemble at least half as man: votes as Smith has for someone else. The latest report is that some of the anti- Smith leaders plan to solidify be- hind the dry Governpr Vic Donahey of Ohio. But most of them admit that Donahey, for all his ability to carry Ohio, might not be much of a presidential candidate. of the south is made up mostly of cornmeal, hominy grits, white wheat flour, white rice, dried beans, salt pork, sorghum or cane molasses and collards, or “greens.” Apparently there is in it too little of some im- portant vitamin to prevent the ap- pearance of pellagra. This vitamin is believed to be present in nearly if not quite all natural foods except the oils and fats. There is little in cornmeal, white flour or rice, but a great deal in lean meat and powdered yeast. Milk is one of the most valuable single foods for the prevention of pellagra, but when lean meat, yeast, vegetables and fruits are not in the diet, at least a quart of milk must be taken every ced to provide an adequate amount of vitamin. Potatoes and Fruits The yolk of the egg contains a good deal of the preventive sub- stance. Such vegetables as pota- toes, turnips, string beans, tomatoes, cabbage and spinach, as well as the fruits, contain the vitamin, but in relatively small amounts. Thus nearly two pounds of toma- toes or a quart‘of canned tomato juice are needed to have the same preventive effect as a quart of but- termilk or a half pound of lean meat or an ounce of powdered yeast. Dr. Goldberger recommends one ounce of powdered yeast a day for an adult, or half of this for a child under twelve years of age, for the control of the disease in those on bad diets or in persons who already sow symptoms. The yeast may be given in milk, tomato juice or fruit juices with additional benefit from the drink itself. “In the average case,” he says, “the patient, if carefully fed, will be fully convalescent in from six to twelve weeks.” ——_ [PEOPLE'S FORUM| ° PROHIBITION SAES LIVES Charbonneau, N D., Sept. 26, 1827 Editor Tribune: The Woman’s National Committee for Law Enforcement are pointing out some of the results of prohibi- tion which are particularly interest- ing. to motherhood. They quote the Mutual Life Insurance company as authority for the fact that deaths from all important causes have de- creased and that the last year of record was the healthiest in the na- tion’s history. The census bureau figures ave cited to show that prohi- bition has saved a million lives, and that infant mortality has definitely declined. The census figures are again cited to show that crime has di 37.7 per cent per capita, and that drunkenness has declined 55.3 cent since prohibition, while alco- holic insanity fell off 66 per cent during the first three dry years. The report of the Salvation Army, covering 30 cities, shows that drunkenness has decreased from 50 per cent to 1 per cent as a cause for charity, and applications for aid have decre: by half.
