2 THE EFFECT OF SMOKING ON HEALTH While the deleterious effects of the nico- tine of tobacco smoke on the system into which it has been introduced have long been known and acknowledged, it is only recently that it's damaging effects on the physique have been demonstrated beyond dispute, albeit they may have been fre- quently surmised. Dr. J. w.

Miss Frances Fields Nina was remarks

Good work was done by Charles L. Far

A HEALTHY CITY.
Such the Statistics Show Rock Isl.
and to be.
Hts Death Record Last Year rs Com
pared With That of Other
Cities.

In the press dispatches appearing in
last nights ARGUS was statistical exhi-
bit Of the death rate of the % principal
cities of the country, as compiled by the
marine hospital bureau at Washington.
The figures presented we're based upon
the returns of the year 1890, and showing
the death rate per 1000 inhabitants in
each OF the cities during the year. In
the entire list only two cities made bet
ter showing than Rock Island. These
were San Diego, CAL. and Pensacola.
Fla, the former being three thousand
people larger and the latter thousand
population smaller than our own city.
Rock Islands death.rate was placed
a: 14.4 per 1000 people, while that
of San Diego and Pensacola was 1915
each. Charleston. n. c., was shown to
be the most unhealthy city in the Union
with an annual death rate per 1000 of
1914. while New Orleans, Richmond, Va,
New York, Chicago, St. Louis. and other
cities followed in order, with slightly
varying rates.
Rock Islands showing is exceedingly
gratifying" said Health Commissioner
Eyster this morning, and mind you. the
census report upon which these figures
are based places Rock Islands population
at only S.596, which is IS you know,
$500 TO 1000 short of our actual popu,
lation. So that you will see that our
death rate is in truth as low as that Of
any city in the country. Indeed, ven-
ture the assertion that if showing for
10 years were made of Rock Island, it
would place the death rate not over 10, to
every thousand, per annum
You must take into considera-
ton, too, that We had a good deal
OF sickness last year-not any more per-
haps than other cities, especially those
those round about US, but We encounter,
ed malignant epidemic of diphtheria
and also had our share OF that unwecome
Russian importation more commonly
known as the La Grippe. So, all things
considered, think Rock Island Jared
well"
The doctor might haze gone further and
said that Rock Island was the heslthiest
city in the country, but ne was apparent.
ly too modest to make such claim, not
withstanding that it would have been
solid truth.

A Queer Case Of Domestic lnfelicity
at DayeuDort

A Queer Case OF Domestic lnfelicisy
at Davenport.
Joel Hashins, Davenpors horseman.
has been fined $50 for abusing his mother
in-law, and inhuman treatment of his
wife and family. Mrs. Haskins, it seems,
is the mother of babe but a few days
of age, and The family is poor. A kind
hearted neighbor gave the msn half
dollar to buy some needed medicine for
the sick woman Friday night, bat instead
of making that use of it he devoted it to
the requirement Of an unnecessary bev
erage. This he brought home with him,
and proceeded to make the house too hot
to hold the family. He spilled the food
prepared for the supper of his wife. cursed
her and her mother. and made threats of
dire intent. He was finally elected from
the house and the patrol wagon subse-
quentlY conveyed him to the station.
The family presents some curious
phases of domestic life. Some time ago
Raskins married widow; a woman with
grown son and daughter. Subsequent
~ they were divorced, and later he mar
ried the won ans daughter. She it is
who is i'll now. and for whom the medi-
cine was to have been brought home. and
her brother it was who summoned the
officers. When he was asked at the sta
ton, what relation the prisoner was to
him, he replied, that last year Haskins
was his father, but that this year he is his
brother. 1t is understood that the family
is wretchedly poor, and that its members
are in the greatest need of all that can be
earned by its head.
