ALARMING MORTALITY,

Every Spring it Is noticeable how many
people are taken away that we have been
accustomed to see in our daily life
STATISTICS show that at no other season of
the year does so many deaths occur.
Especially large is the mortality among
weak and sick people.
The reason for this is apparent The body
that is weakened by age or disease has much

Insufficient exercise frequently has been
taken. Too much starchy and fatty foods
have been eaten. The system has been
allowed to become run down, and when

older people will begin to realize that their
vitality has become very low. The same
thing is true OF people who are naturally
sickly and weak.
This is the season Of the year when even q
strong person feels at his worst. That tired,
restless feeling is experienced by too many.
There need not be as many deaths this year
as usually take place. A little care will ward
of many Spring funerals, II one is weak or

contemporary with the events in question
or those writing after lapse of years.
1t was generally agreed that prejudice dies

historian probably gives more accurate de-
