Showing the Decrease and Increase of
Disease.

The latest monthly bulletin given out by
the State Board of Health contains the fol-
lowing: The reports to the State Board
of Health for May show that the following
disease decreased in area of prevalence in
comparison with April: Rheumatism, ton
silftis. bronchitis. influenza, pneumonia.
pleuritis, dphtheria and Group. All of these
maladies. except rheumatism. are house
diseases, and always decrease in prevalence
when the warm days come and the house
jewellers get out OF doors in to pure air and
sunshine. Proper ventilating and lighting
of houses would cause material decrease in
this class Of diseases. The diseases which
increased in area of prevalence were;
Measles, diarrhoea, whooping cough, ty-
phoid fever, Inflammation of bowels, chol-
era morbus and cholera infantum. Stomach
and bowel troubles increase in warm
weather because warmth is favorable 10 the
growth of ferments in our food and drink.
These ferments (microbes) produce poisons
under certain conditions in our foods, and
these poisons cause intestinal troubles. If
our food and drink were properly prepared
and preserved scores of children would be
saved annually from the grave and scores
of cases of bowel disorders would be pre-
vented in adults. Hog cholera was re-
ported prevalent during May in Henry and
Delaware counties. Smallpox was reported
in the following counties: Clay, Dearborn,

WAR LOSSES.
Washington Authorities Tryio Make Compar-
ison Of Two Campaigns.

The war department has prepared
statement comparing the mortality fig
ures in the Spanish-American war with
those OF the first six months OF the
South African war, the purpose being
to show that the casualties suffered by
the American troops at the time OF their
occurrence (Which are regarded i'll
some quarters as excessive, and are the
basis OF much crticism) were actually
very much less in number proportion
ately than those suffered by the British
army up to date.
AS to the British showing from Oc-
tober II to April 7, 900 officers and 81
o44 men were killed in action, or by ac-
cident, wounds and disease. and 2S8 Of
ficers and 4e34 men were invalided
home 1t is estimated that nearly TO-
900 officers and men are sick and
wounded in the hospitals.
During the war with Spain the
American army lost, by death, Io7 Off
GERS and 2.So3 men. They were wound
ed II3 officers and I,464 men. Only IL
per cent. of the American death rate
resulted from wounds or occurred in
battle, while the corresponding rate for
the British army was 63.I3 per cent.

NOTHING BELOW A DOLLAR A DUSHEL
TRUST OF FARMERS.
To Raise The Price Of Wheat Scheme manipr-

Switzerland being Advocated.

"All the farmers OF the world in sort
OF international trust to restrict the
production of wheat and raise prices
is the plan which il is hoped to carry
into effect at the International Agricul-
tural Conference in Paris. July o-i6.
II is proposed to ask the farmers OF
the world to reduce their wheat out
put by 20 per cent, and not to sell a
bushe for less than a dollar. j. Han
ley. OF St. Paul, executive agent OF the
Farmers Alliance and Industrial Union,

ton, the Farmers Federation OF the
Mississippi Valley and the Ma
tional Grain Growers Associa-
ton, is the chief promoter OF the In
ternational Agricultural Trust in Amer
lea. Prof. G. Rutland, of the Univer-
sity OF Fribourg, Switzerland, is the
chief promoter OF the plan in Europe.
The idea was conceived by these two
men independently. Mr.. I1anley has
been interested in many "holdyour
wheat" schemes, and is prominently as
sociated with the farmers elevator and
various cooperative undertakings. He
has long believed that il the farmers
would only come to an understanding
as to limiting production and agree tc
sell only when their price could be OBJ
tained they could easily master the sit
uation.

ONE GREAT POOR HOUSE.
No Doctors Within Reach Of The Poverty -Sirick'
en- Population OF Puerto Rico.

The startling fact was recently made
public that in many districts of Puerto
Rico where the population reaches
thousands there is no resident physician
For instance, Wayuya, n town OF 1,5oo,
must depend on the simplest remedies
in the case OF illness, as there is no ply
sician within call. At Utuado the
death rate is 8 per cent. annually, and
this town is days ride from Ponce
through the mountains.
1t appears that physicians have
been sent to these districts, but they
refuse to remain largely because no
town is able to support one. AS re-
suit of this condition of things the
order providing physician for every
500 people is now very difficult OF en-
forcement, because the towns reply that
there is no fund to pay for such service.
This island is one vast poorhouse
and there are opportunities for charity
at every step. Were $4,000 to be ex-
pended Immediately for medicine and
medical aid it would possibly save the
lives OF 1900 people. At one time the
government considered the feasibility
OF assigning a physician to each town
at an aggregate cost of $8o 1000 per year
but the funds for such an outlay are
not available.

A BIG STRIKE BEGUN.
Five Thousand Maryland Miners Lay Down
Their Picks.

Five thousand miners of the Georges
creek, Md, region struck Wednesday
night and began what promises to be a
protracted struggle for an increase OF
wages and incidentally the recognition
by the operators OF the United Mine
Workers OF America.
The operators assert that they will
not endeavor to work the mines, but
will let them remain idle until the men
get tired OF inactivity and return to
work OF their own volition. On the
other hand the miners claim that they
are prepared to continue the contest in
definitely.
The general strike of the miners oi
the Georges creek coal region will Sc
riously affect the manufacturers and
plants OF all kinds that Use bituminous
coal produced in that region. There is
comparatively small supply on hand
and it is thought that couple of weeks
idleness at the mines will cause a ma
terial increase in the price, il not cause
a partial famine oi that class OF fuel.

iNDTA'S SAD STATE.
Distress Exists al Present Over an Area Of
100000 Square miIcs-AId Asked Tor
100000 People.

The State department has made public
one OF the reports upon which II based
its statement relative to the famine In
India. This report Is from Consul Fee
at Bombay, who says that, notwit1-
standing the season OF acute distress has
hardly commenced, the returns far cx-
ceed those during the initial stages OF
the famine three years ago. 1t then
affected only 100000 persons; now the
figure is 100000 and the daily expendi-
ture is placed at $4,000. The famine
area covers 100000 square miles, with
population OF 10000 900, and there is
a further area OF about I45,ooo square
miles, with a population OF 2I,ooo, 900,
in which more or less distress prevails
and where relief has been or will be
given. The consul says that the appli-
cations for relief are overtaxing the
state authorities and are increasing at
an appalling rate, the number OF appli-
cants at the relief works during the
last week in January advancing 100000
and bringing up the total to 3,5oo.ooo,
with the most trying period still two
months distant.
