Deaths of Last Week Compared With Those
of the Corresponding Week Last Year.

Deaths of Last Week Compared With Those
of the Corresponding Week Last Year.
In the report of the operations of the health
department for last week DR.. Hammett says:
The health of the city continues to be in ex-
cellent condition. The average number of
deaths for the year is about III in each week,
which is the exact amount of mortality during
the last week ended on Saturday. In the cor
responding period of last September the deaths
were ll3. The death rate was 23.4 as against
22.s, which Is the average for this city, thus
making difference of only six-tenths Of 1 per
cent. 1t will be seen by the statement that the
contagious diseases are almost at zero. there
having but been one fatal case. which was from
dlphtheria. There were eight deaths from ty-
phoid fever as compared with six during the
same time last year. Kidney diseases run
up to six against one in the preceding week.
viii e in the same time diarrheal disorders fell
off from fifteen to eleven. The mortality
among children under five years is ut the nor
mai. while that OF infants under a year old,
really averaging about six months OF age. is
still above the average a little. Most OF the
latter were from ''congenital debility and i'm
proper food.
The birth returns amounted TO 96, divided
as to race as 50 is TO ~. At this rate the re-
turns of births would amount to !, 900 per year
During the last fiscal year they amounted to
4.616. The census taken in the summer by
the police department gave 5.3i9 as the hum
Der of births during the same time. 1t will be
seen that the health department is receiving
reports OF fully Sc per cent of the birth of liv-
ing children, and embracing still births the re-
salt would be n total of 800 returns out of
census total Of 5,319, or amount equal to
IS per cent of all. II may be added in this
connection that closer attention is being
paid to making birth returns to the health de-
partment both by the physicians and midwives
