DEATHS FROM PELLEGRA
IN SOUTHERN OKLAHOMA
Four deaths from pellegra in south-
ern Oklahoma in the last month
caused State Health Commissioner
A. R Lewis Friday to declare the
disease is worse in the state than for
the last two years.
Because the southern cotton farm-
ers were broken by failure of the cot
ton market last fall, and have had
practically no food except cornbread
and pork, pellegra is growng, Dr.
Lewis said. Lack of change in diet,
with ;i principal lack of fruits, is re-
sponsible. he declared.
Death List Greater.
Pellegra deaths in 1919 totaled 81.
and 70 were victims in 1920. Dr
Lewis predicted the total would go
far above this in 1921.
"Women are worse affected than
men," he said "The inland farti
woman, staying in the home vvhtb
the man roams around, has smaller
chance to pick up bits of fruits to
eat. The man may munch an apple
now and then* and prevent the dis-
ease."
CUT WEEDS NOW; PUT
RUBBISH IN ALLEYS
The captains in charge of the

not to wait until Cleanup Day to

them now.

eople to place all old cans and other
r.bbish in barrels, boxes, or sacks
n ' place same on the alleys lor
convenience of the trucks.

American Legion to Present Good
Boing Bout to Noiman
Townspeople
A boxing contest between kid Rowe
of Arkansas City and George Abbott
of Norman w ill be conducted Thursday
night under the auspices of the Amer-
ican Legion.
\bbott is well known in Norman as
the champion light weight of the 36th
Division and Howe boxed with the
navy and in Arkansas City. This is
an equally well matched bout, as both
have been in constant training for
the past month. Speed Corps, a for-
mer boxer, has been acting as trainer
for Kid Rowe. Although Rowe is a
welterweight, Abbott's cleverness and
speed promises it will be an equal
match, similar to the big bout at Jer-
sey City, in that cleveness will be
pitted against strength.
There will be two three-round pre-
liminaries, one a bantam weight and
the other Montana M.oudk against
K. (). Spottee, preceding the main
match.
If the sporting people of the city
support this event several other good
boxers are expected to be engaged to
appear here soon.

Boys to Camp
Camp comniitte composed of C.
W. Shannon, J. A. J int ent, F. G.
Rockwell, and Bennie Owen oiet in
Professor Shannon's office Tuesday
afternoon to approve plans for the
second annual Boy Scout camp at
the Arbuekles mountains on August
18-19.
The committee adapted the plan of
exchange of acting scout master
Thomas T. Rowe to become assist-
ant to the Bartlesville camp and the
scout executive of Bartlesville to at-
tend the Norman Hoy Scout camp
as camp master
A motion carried that the cook
recommended by camp master Geo.
ti Watson be employed
Motion was also made and carried
that the committee approve tin ar
rangemeiits made for the Ardmore
mess hall, tents and cots at a cost of
$100.
'Pile committee decided to make
arrangements to secure enough au-
tomobiles to either take the boys to
camp or bring them back, and if th«
weather permits make the convey-
ance both ways. It is thought
twenty-five cars will be needed, and
•f you have a car that you would
like to use t<> take four or five boys
to che mountain, call one <>f the
committee. C. W Shannon, phone
(K)<), I (i. Rockwell, phone 900,
Bennie Owen, phone 7, J. A.
Vincent, phone 600 If cars are fur-
nished many more of the boys will
get to go. Mr Rowe. acting scout
executive pointed out, for the rail-
road fare will be eliminated, making
t necessray for each boy to nay only
$5.21 or possibly $3.42. However,
the entire $7.00 will be collected and
the amount saved refunded, as rain
may prevent car- making the trip.
The rulinp made by the executive
that «>nly registered scouts be al-
lowed to go on the camp, was up-
held.
Dr. J. O. HaSsler. who teaches
astronomy in the university, will
tell a story about the stars, the moon
and the sun every night at camp
ootu 0 to K) 30 o'clock.
Professor O. W. Walters, teacher
<.f wireless and electricity at the uni-
vifssity. will give valuable instruc-
tion on these subjects while in cam*).
Ralph Records. assistant scout
executive, will conduct a scout mas-
ter's training school and in connec-
tion have a round table discussion
by all scout masters. This will be
conducted during rest hours immed-
iately after dinner each day
There will be an instructor in
swimming and a director of games.
Probably there will be a man over
eight boys, so that it is easy to see
that every scout will have a wonder-
ful opportunity for real scouting.
