HEALTH OF THE STATE.
a Low Rate of Mortality shown for
the Month OF May.

a Low Rate of Mortality Shown for
the Month of May.
In his report for the month of May Sec
retary Laine of the State Board of Health
states that reports from rs cities, towns,
villages and sanitary districts. aggregat-
ing population of ~, ,0Z3, show NOR
tality of sra death rate of 1.26 per 900
for May. or 1912 per 1000 per annum.
There were I6S deaths from consump-
ton, 70 from pneumonia 81 from bron-
chluS, 9 from congestion OF tho lungs, b
from diarrhea, IL from cholera infanJum,
66 from other diseases of the stomach and
bowels, IL from dlphtheria, 8 from Group,
) from scarlatina. from measles, : from
smallpox, Z from whooping-cough 10
from typhoid fever, l from malarial
fevers, > from cerebro-spinal fever, 30
from cancer, from eryslpelas, a from
diseases of the heart, 8 from alcoholism,
424 from other causes, OF which were
from la grippe and one from leprosy.
AS will be seen above, Alturas and
Cedarville each had death from small
pox. The epidemic is under control at
those points, however. the people having
been quite generally vaccinated. DIR. a.
Gibson writes from Cedarville, that thirty
miles from that place, in Goose Lake al
ley, there are thirty cases, with two
deaths. He says that it has been called
chlcken-poX, the people fearing injury TO
their business ii the truth were told. If
it could be generally understood that
thorough vaccination was the only re-
liable safeguard, such mendacious expo
dlentS would be more rare. 1t is better
in every way TO make 10 secret OF the
presence OF smallpox, but to proceed at
once to stamp it out by isolation OF the
sick and a successful vaccination of the
well persons IN any locality. Any other
method of procedure in dealing with
smallpox will end in confusion and dis
comhture, az the secret cannot be kept
any longer than enough time to enable
the pestilence TO get headway, as diff
cult OF control as con1iagration.
