News Notes of Interest From the
City of Mills.

City OF Mills.
1t is intimated that several persons
of the First ward intend to oppose the
bond issue for new school house in
the central part of town, because of the
fact that all efforts have failed to open
Eoff street. The friends of the pro-
posed bond issue, however, contend
that il will be readily seen that the
board of education has no power what
ever to oroer the tnoroughfare opened,
and therefore are not worried in the
least at the opposition. Prominent cit
liens say that they heartily favor the
bond issue. simply for the reason that
il would doubtless be great benefit TO
the ward as well as all parts OF the
district. 1t is believed that all fair
minded citizens are supporting the
proposition for new school, as it will
be a benefit to the scholars of the en-
tire district.

MANS GREATEST DESTROYER.

1t has been often said by physicians
ity is consumption. We have at differ
ent times seen the figures ~given-the
per centage of deaths from that ire
mendous destroyer-and they have va
ried. But it is certain hat the death
rate is awful and that it is indeed the
very worst plague with which the
peoples of civilization are conff4rted
today" as says the Washington Times.
1t gives some figures to justify it's as
sertlon. In the census of 1890, there
were in the United States 1O2, 200 deaths
from that disease. The total number
of deaths in the same period from
scarlet fever, diptheria, measles, Group,
enteric and malarial fevers was only
1O2, 554. "All the Iepers in India put
number by only a few thousands the
victims claimed by consumption in
the United States in a single year"
The physicians have in vain sought for
a preventive or a cure. The antidote
has not been discovered although every
few years a so-called cure is paraded
as found, but only to deceive. The
disease is just as general and fatal in
Europe. The figures given by the
Times are that the approximate ra-
tics of various diseases in $1,000 deaths
show the following proportion of tuber-
culosis victims in the countries named:
England, LOO; France, 1,12O; Germany,
1270; Russia, 1850; Italy, 900; Switzer-
land, LOO; Belgium, 1920; the Neither
lands, $50, n Scandinavia, 1,02O. In
seven of the nine countries, represent
ing the headquarters of science and
civilization in the Old World, more
than one-tenth of all deaths are from
this one disease. OF every 1OO, 600 per-
sons who die in all the mir countries
1880 die of consumption-or one in
every eight"
But if statistics or statements we
have seen made often are we'll based
there is another enemy and destroyer
every whit as fatal and sweeping as
consumption. 1t is stated that fully
100, 900 people die annually in the Unit
ed States from strong drink.
