A MILLION DOLLARS FOR BATTLE AGAINST PELLAGRA Would Be Far Better Spent Than Against the Hookworm. Columbia, S. C., Nov “While we regard Mr. Rockefeller's princely gift for the eradification of the hookworm at its true value, wé say one million dollars for the battle against the dis- ease of pellagra would be far more val— uable,” declared Colonel E. J. Watson, South Carolipa’s commissioner of agri- culture, commerce and industries in an addrass before the first national con- ference on pellagra, which opened” to- day. Colonel Watson declared that not only the federil government: but the corn consuming states, as well, must put into force a rigorous inspec- tion of corn and corn products, whose impurities are believed to cause pel- lagra.
