Our Fifteen Most Mortal Maladies
From the New York World.l

@Ot->
General surprise is expressed at the CEN
sus figures on the comparative fatality of
different diseases. The common belief
that consumption leads all other causes Of
death in this country is shown to be I'M
founded.
Pneumonia, according to the census of
1900, is now the most fatal of American
diseases, 1919 per 100000 of all deaths
being attributed to it, Consumption is a
close second, with 1905 in every 100, 900
deaths credited to it. Heart disease stands
third on the list of our deadly enemies,
with record of 134 in every 10000
deaths. After these three leaders the CEN
sus report names twelve other principal
causes of death, and in the order of their
Importance they are as follows: Diarrheal
diseases, kidney disease, apoplexy, cancer,
old age, bronchitis, cholera infantum, de-
bility, Inflammation of brain and menen-
gifts, diphtheria, typhoid, premature birth.
1t is interesting to note that "a in every
100000 deaths in the entire country are
not caused by any disease at all, but simply
by s'old age'-the natural running down
of the human clock. Aud it is striking
proof of the progress we are making in our
fight with consumption that it shows the
astonishing decrease of 81 80 per 10000
deaths since 1890, in which year it led the
whole list of mortal maladies.

TOUR TO THE PACIFIC COAST.
Another Opportunity to Visit California under
the Auspices of the Pennsylvania Rail-
roads Personally Conducted system,

In view of the great popularity of trans
continental travel under the Personally
Conducted System, as evinced in the recent
Pennsylvania Railroad Tour to the Pacific
Coast and Canadian Northwest, that COM
pany has decided to run another tour to the
Pacific Coast, including in the itinerary a
visit to the world famous Grand Canon of
Arizona, in the early Fall. The tour will
leave New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore,
Washington, and other stations on the
Pennsylvania Railroad east of Pittsburg,
on Monday, September %, and reach New
York on the homeward trip Tuesday, Oct. %.
As in former tours to California under
the auspices of the Pennsylvania Railroad,
a special train, composed Of the highest
class of Pullman equipment, will be util-
lied during the entire trip. Excellent
meals will be served in the dining cars
attached to the train during the entire
journey, except during the stops at San
Francisco and in Chicago. An observation
car will appeal to all who delight in seen
cry Few trips afford SO great diversity
i'll Natures beauties as the one outlined
below. Westward bound, the tourists will
pass through the wild slopes of the Colorado
Rockies, around the Great Salt Lake, and
over the fastness Of the Sierra Nevada
After visiting all the beautiful resorts on
the sunny California slopes, the eastward
journey will be through the Arizona desert
to the Grand Canon of Arizona. Its beau
ties cannot be painted in mere words. Mag
nifieent in coloring, awful in its depths, it
stands among the natural wonders of the
world. Thence across the plains to ST..
Louis, and eastward through Illinois,
Indiana, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, the tour
lists reach their destination just thirty days
after leaving home.
The various transcontinental lines having
made low rates on account of the General
Triennial Convention of the Protestant
Episcopal church, the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company is enabled to offer this
superb vacation trip at the low rate Of $1s5
for the round trip from New York, Phila-
delphia, Baltimore Washington, or any
point on Pennsylvania Railroad east of
Pittsburg, one in berth; and $165 for the
round trip, two persons occupying the same
berth. The rate from Pittsburg is S. less
Diagrams are now open, and as the num-
Der who can be accommodated will be
strictly limited, names should be registered

Harry Crist will represent the glassblow-

move in the right direction, as this meeting
is being called to discuss government by

not in the interest of any party, yet the
intention is to force the old parties to rec

realization of its own power by presenting
to the people candidates of the right cali

G. B. b. A. stands indicted in the courts of
Pennsy lvania for using moral suasion with
non-union men, and to prevent such internal

begun, Only a few weeks ago we read of
the Hon. John W. Griggs going before the
court at Paterson praying for an injunction
against a labor union. What? Prohibit
men from organizing and striking when
the authorities of New Jersey are granting
charters every day to combinations to con-
spire to pinch the people, not only of this,
but of other States, then after they have
been given the right to merge several con
Germs into one, shut their plants down at
their will? But let the employees go out,
cheap labor is then employed, and if they
are approached or induced to leave the
works it is called intimidation Then such

with great influence, by virtue of his ex-

Veterinary Surgeons.

There are now twenty-one vacancies in
the office of veterinarian in the United States
army, and four more will occur in the near
future. Veterinarians are required for
ervice in the cavalry and field artillery.
They are allowed the pay and allowances
of second lieutenant of cavalry-$1, 800
per annum, with 10 per cent. increase for
each period of five years service up to
twenty years, and quarters. They are not
commissioned officers, but wear the uni
form of second lieutenant without the
shoulder straps.
1t is the intention Of the War Depart
ment to hold competitive examination
at an early date for the purpose of filling
the vacant places, and any one desiring to
take the examination should make applica-
ton at once to the Adjutant General of the
army, Washington, D. C.
Applicants must be citizens of the United
States, not less than twenty-five nor more
than thirty-fve years of age; must be
graduates of some recognized veterinary
college; must be of good moral character
and physically sound. They will be re-
quired to pass written examination in the
following subjects: English grammar,
arithmetic, geography, history, anatomy
and physiology, pathology, practice Of
medicine, descriptive and operative surgery,
materia medica and therapeutics, sanitary
medicine, conformation of the horse and
examination for soundness, horse shoeing,
meat inspection, veterinary hygiene, general
feeding and watering, stabling and care of
animals in garrison and field, saddling,
biting, packing, etc.
1t is only of recent years that the inn
portance Of the veterinarian in the army
has been given official recognition; although
in some foreign armies he had an established
and honorable position prior to our Civil
War. A stiff fight was made at the last
session of Congress by the veterinarians to
get full commissioned rank; but it was un-
successful owing to the opposition of the
West Point influence, which shuddered at
the thought of having to associate as an
equal with ''horse DOCTOR
The veterinarian is necessary adjunct
to any force using horses in the field The
will no doubt attract large
number of graduates of the veterinary
schools

The storm of last Sunday week wrought
great havoc to milldams and bridges in this
vicinity. At the Evan mill the loss is
very great, 50 foot of the dam being carried
away and to depth of thirty feet, taking
all the earth out down to clay bottom.
The county bridge and gates are as good as
wrecked, the earth being removed four
feet below the mud sill of the gates.
At Simpkin's mill the dam is washed
out fifty feet wide and twenty feet deep,
but the bridge is not injured.
The bridge on the Elmer road at Simp-
kin's mill, is washed away.
