GRIP AND NEURASTHENIA
There is a form of neurasthenia that
follows the grip. Doctors call it"post-
Rrippal'' neurasthenia. One of the
foremost medical authorities of New
York citj in a lecture in the interna
tional clinics, said:
"Broadly speaking, every victim of
the grip will suffer from post-grippal
neurasthenia also. Lowering of ner
vous tone with increased irritability is
the most striking effect of the disease,
languor of mind and body, disturbed,
fitful sleep and vague pains in the head
and elsewhere. The treatment calls
for rest and a tonic. '
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, a non-alco
holic tonic, are particularly suited for
building up the blood and strengthen
ing the nerves after an attack of the
crip. The rich, red blood expels the
lingering germs from the system and
transforms despondent grip Victims in
to cheerful, healthy, happy men and
k women.
If you hare had the grip get a box
of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills now from
the nearest drug store and begin the
treatment at once.
On request we will send you a free
pamphlet, "Building Up the Blood,"
which contains a chapter on the grip.

PRIZES FOR THE BEST
PORCH DECORATIONS
[Continued From First Page]
ment blanks will be published in each
issue of the Telegraph. All contest
ants will place their names on these
and will thus be entitled to partici
pate in the distribution of prizes. No
entrance fee will be charged. Every
thing will be free and open to all.
The judging will be done by experts
who will visit the various buildings
entered after the planting—which
should not be done until May 1. at the
earliest—and again in the middle of
the summer. At the close of the
season. Just before frost is expected.
;i third and final inspection will be
made and the prizes will be awarded
first on general appearance and sec
ond on the care manifested on the
planting from the beginning to the
end of the season.
Reduced Prices
The Telegraph is able to announce a
special reduction in prices on Section
al Window Boxes by the Berryhiil
Nursery Company. This company, of
which O. P. Beckley is the president,
has entered heartily into the Tele
graph's plans for a more beautiful
city and in order to co-operate will
open a. store room in Locust street
near the Telegraph office. To all con
testants and to others who may desire
1o plant boxes this Spring but who do
not want to go to the trouble of hav
ing boxes made by carpenters or at
planing mills, the Berryhiil company
will sell at a reduced rate, providing
the applications are made through the
Telegraph. This does not mean that
the planting must be done by the Ber
ryhiil company. This offer includes
only the boxes and the plants may be
purchased and planted either by the
Berryhiil company or by anybody the
purchaser chooses. Coupons entitling
holders to this discount will appear
daily in the Telegraph, beginning
within the next few days.
The Berryhiil company has also of
fered to advise planters free of charge
as to what kind of plants should be
used, when to plant them and how.
Already there have been many in
quiries as to how the window and how
porch box plan is to be carried out
and the outlook is for hundreds of
boxes to be put up within the next
six weeks. The idea is to have all in
place by Memorial Day. On that date
»lhe Telegraph building will appear in
; new Spring dress of plants and
vines.

LITTLE "ALL-TIME-EATB"
In the years to come you way read
of him in the newspapers. So. just
remember the name—little "AU-Time-
Eats."
That may figure in the news dis
patches of another "break-away"
from the reservation and an informal
raid upon neighboring; ranches; or in
the press agent stories of the visiting
Wild West show; or with story and
highly decorative cut of the latest
"full-blooded American candidate" for
Congress, or —who linows?— even in
the big Sunday paper tale of another
wonderful run "through an open field"
or sensational field goal of Carlisle's
newest pigskin prodigy.
At any rati", whether or not he fig
ures in future public prints as bandit,
congressional candidate or football
hero, the fact remains that he is intro
duced to the newspapers to-day just
as he is. unadorned—a fat. healthy
Indian baby of Ponca agency, Okla
homa.
Dr. Charles L. Zimmerman, this
city, former resident physician of the
Harrisburg Hospital. ex-Telegraph re
porter, and just "Zlmmie" to hundreds
and hundreds of Harrisburg friends,
is responsible for little "All-Time-
Kats" " initial bow to the public in the
newspapers. Little "A-T-E" is bona
fide prima farie evidence of what can
be done with Indian babies if the
interesting article on "Save the Ba
bies," written for the current issue of
The Red Man by Dr. "Ziinniie." be
followed out.
Here's the story:
"The first step in the instruction of
the Indian mother as regards the
health of her infant has been in my
experience that of "proper feeding.'
FOODS '
THEY BUILD OR DESTROY
Amazing but Rarely Suspected Truths About the
Things You Eat.
(Copyright, 1916, by Alfred W. McCann.)

CHAPTER 10.
Hire. Scoured and Polished, Is Food
I'nlit for Hospital or Home—lt Will
Not Support Life—Robbed as White
Flour Is Robbed, Rice Is Responsi
ble for Many Preventable Diseases.
As we gather up the shattered frag
! ments of the white bread superstition
I that has endured so long unmolested
| among the miseries of the denatured
| wheat eater, we may catch in fancy
| the murmur of spirit voices. Among
| them we can recognize a chorus in
which the million live hundred thou
j sand children under ten years of age
! who died in the United States during
| the past four years are crying:
"We, the ghosts of babes, are pa
j trolling the night, pulling down from
their high niches in the darkness
whatsoever symbols of disease and
i death we find.
| "Yonder a skinny fingei points to a
I statue of starch. It is the linger of
bloodless fraud. As we pull the idol
down we see that it is labelled, 'l'ol
j islied Rice.' "
Few American have ever eaten rice
las nature intended them to eat it. The
j cream color and light brown in hue,
with a flavor that the polished rice
• eater has never tasted, has been ban
ished from the I'nited States for many
years.
The robbed substitute is the
, brushed, scoured, polished and some
times talcum coated grain of com
merce, so degraded and denatured by
the milling processes through which
it passes that when fed to the fowls
, uf the barnyard it brings about their
death in seven weeks.
Fed on the natural unrefined grain,
containing all the elements with
which nature has endowed it, the
creatures of the barnyard thrive in
definitely.
The "innocent" bowl of rice, as we
now scour and polish, served to the
growing child and the convalescent
struggling desperately upward out of
an abyss of disease, will not support
human life. We have robbed n as
we rob the wheat.
No. this is not the cry of an alarm
ist. Behold the facts.
In the Philippine Islands a disease
called acidosis, or beri-beri, has wiped
away countless thousands.
_We have similar diseases in the
I'nited States, but we call them in
anition, anemia, neurasthenia, ner
vous prostration, general breakdown.
Beri-beri, or acidosis, journeys from
one stage to another, through all of
these experiences. Its name neither
adds to nor detracts from its ability
to destroy. Those who encounter it
die the death.
Dr. V. G. Ileiser in the year 19 10,
then director of health of the Philip
pine Islands; Dr. Eraser of .Singa
pore, Dr. Aaron of thp Philippine
•Medical School, Dr. Ilighet of Siam,
and Dr. Dellaan of Java produced
evidence that showed conclusively
that acidosis, or beri-beri, is caused by
a diet of polished rice, such as is
consumed in the I'nited States. As
early as 1905 Dr. Donald McCaskey
had noted the ravages which follow
a diet of polished rice.
Polished rice does not introduce
some mysterious germs into the body.
It simply starves the blood and tis
sues until they no longer offer a de
fense to any germ.
With resistance broken and im
munity destroyed, as the result of in
adequate nourishment. pathogenic
organisms take up their residence in
'he weakened tissues of the body, and
grow and multiply until disorder en
sues.
During January and February. 1910
another of the many outbreaks of
acidosis among the inmates of the
Coullon Leper Colony aroused the in
terest of the little group of physicians
named above.
The disease resisted all medical
treatment. It was noted that the
lepers were striving to maintain life
upon a diet of polished rice. As an
experiment the polished rice was dis
continued and the natural grain sub
stituted.
The sick iri the hospital were fed
with the ric« polishingg thai had
been removed from the refined grain.
With this important function of every
day life properly regulated and con
trolled. the majority of infant disor
ders will disappear and the naturally
splendi'd digestive system assume its
proper place. •
"For the very young infant the
mother's breast is the best of all foods.
Cow's niilk is excellent for calves, but
not so good for babies. Condensed
milk is in its proper place when it is <
in the can. Indigestible, poorly pre
pared and uncooked food from the
table too often form a large portion ,
of the daily food of the Indian, and
it is to correct this method of feeding I
that one must devote a large portion
of his time if results long desired are
to be realized.
"The eating of candy by children of
tender years is another of the causes
of much infantile digestive disturb
ances, and the sooner this cause of
gastronomlcal disturbances is pro
hibited tiie better nourished and
healthier will the baby lie.
"1 have found that a diet of pep
tonized, milky, predigested food or
barley water will often correct a case
of severe diarrhea that has resisted
medical treatment. The diarrhea of
children divides itself into two heads,
the simple and the infectious, and the
mortality rate from these conditions is
high.
"Rickets is another disease which
one finds finite common among the
Indian children, due. probably, to pat
ent baby foods and unhygienic con
ditions. Plenty of meat broth and
fruit juice, and small amounts of
starchy foods, such as potatoes, will
restore it to health.
"Another universal disease of chil
dren is tuberculosis, and when one
considers that 99 per cent, of all chil
dren of 10 years of age in the white
race are said to have tubercular im
plantation. then we can appreciate its
danger and importance. Tuberculosis
is not inherited. The most frequent
type in children is the glandular form,
ofttimes expressed after the system
has been reduced by an attack of
measles or whooping cough. The path
of entrance is usually through the
respiratory tract, by either the mouth
or the nose, and when we recognize
this path of entrance then we should
appreciate the importance of the toilet
of the nose and mouth in a growing
child when infected. We must instruct
the mother of the value of preventive
measures. Glandular involvement is
usually the result of and a sequel of a
previous disease, and we should en
deavor to prevent a break in the mucus
membrane, or if a break occurs to
keep it in a sterilized and clean con
dition.
"A child reared in a home contain
ing an acute ease of tuberculosis is
continually breathing the infectious at
mosphere. Forced feeding and a daily
bath for these cases will do much to
overcome an inherited weakened
body."
j Rice polishing.s are the outer layers
of the rice thai give to the grain its
light creamish it row n color. Under
neatli the grain is snow white.
| This snow whiteness consists prin-
I cipally of starch; ihe polishings con
-1 tain the phosphorus compounds and
j other mineral salts, ferments, vita
rnines, and nitrogenous products
which are brushed, scoured, and pol-
I ished away in order to make the
grain pleasing to the delicate eyes of
pale women and children.
On a sixty days diet of the natural
grain, to which the rice polishings
had to be added, the spread of the
'disease was interrupted and complete
| cures established. Vet, not one of
I the 400,000 children under ten years
:of age who died in the United States
| that year could find a pound of that
'natural brown rice in all the land,
j Still the medical profession needed
! more evidence than this to convince
lit that when man denatures bis food
by refining processes lie destroys its
j ability to confer upon him immunity
! to disease.
I So Dr. Fraser of the Straits Settle
ments and Dr. Aaron of the Philip.
: pine Medical School set about to prove
that when man brushes, scours and
polishes away the phosphorus com
pounds and other organic minerals'
that are present in the pericarp of
natural brown rice he robs the human
family of its requisite supply of these
; elements.
After this fact had been demon,
strated to the satisfaction of the phy
sicians in the Far Kast it was again
experimentally confirmed in chickens j
and later in human beings.
Finally two groups of railway I
, workers in the Straits Settlements '
were employed as a poison squad. '
The group of men that partook of;
polished white Siam rice of best qual-i
iity developed beri-berl within a period
!of approximately sixty days, while |
the group that partook of the un- !
polished rice remained free of the!
disease.
Perhaps when you learn what hap
pened during that period of sixty days
•you will feel disposed to heed the
character and quality of the food up-1
on which your children subsist. Per- |
haps you will come to the conclusion
that behind the processes of nutri
tion there is indeed a law.
